Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual(speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who18to speak two or more languages.No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything19English is a marker of difference here. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is20when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out:“In the USA, its not21for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in the USA, it is thought that you are not helping them to22with the society.”But in fact, the general23among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilingualspeople who speak24language(s)have a clear learning advantage25their monolingual schoolmates. This26on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used,27they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says,“A lot of studies have 28that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more29, but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.”The view is that there is a(n)30from the effort of learning another language. A few other31agree that “Bilinguals tend to use a language better as a whole. They also32greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily.”With all of the benefits, why do we not show more33for learning other languages?Parents and teachers34in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general35to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.16.A.And B.So C.But D.Thus17.A.minimum B.maximum C.minority D.majority18.A.claim B.pretend C.decide D.plan19.A.more than B.less than C.rather than D.other than20.A.excited B.embarrassed C.disappointed D.appreciated21.A.common B.unusual C.unique D.general22.A.fit in B.build up C.contribute to D.figure out23.A.distinction B.commission C.announcement D.agreement24.A.one B.two C.three D.more25.A.beneath B.beyond C.over D.of26.A.determinesB.focuses C.comments D.depends27.A.if B.whether C.when D.because28.A.rejected B.released C.revealed D.reminded29.A.slowly B.rapidlyC.easily D.efficiently30.A.outcome B.improvementC.advantage D.tendency31.A.parents B.learnersC.schoolmates D.professors32.A.display B.produce C.inspire D.discover33.A.concern B.respect C.enthusiasm D.intelligence34.A.involved B.impressed C.competing D.replacing35.A.opinions B.obstacles C.senses D.attitudes.任务型阅读(2016江苏南京、盐城二模)Family structure is the core of any culture. A major function of the family is to socialize new members of a culture. As children are raised in a family setting, they learn to become members of the family as well as members of the larger culture. The family provides the model for all other relationships in society. Through the observations and modeling of the behavior of other family members, children learn about the family and society including the values of the culture. Family structure and their inherent relationships and obligations are a major source of cultural difference.The family is the center of most traditional Asians lives. Many people worry about their families welfare, reputation, and honor. Asian families are often extended, including several generations related by blood or marriage living in the same home. An Asian persons misdeeds are not blamed just on the individual but also on the familyincluding the dead ancestors.Traditional Chinese, among many other Asians, respect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in their old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as tremendous burden in the United States, where aging and family support are not honored highly.The Vietnamese family consists of people currently alive as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet unborn. Any decisions or actions are done from family considerations, not individual desires. Peoples behavior is judged by whether it brings shame or pride to the family. Vietnamese children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. Many Vietnamese think that their actions in this life will influence their status in the next life. Fathers in traditional Japanese families are typically strict and distant. Japanese college students in one study said they would tell their fathers just about as much as they would tell a total stranger. The emotional and communication barrier between children and fathers in Japan appears very strong after children have reached a certain age. Although there has been much talk about “family values” in the United States, the family is not a usual frame of reference for decisions in U.S. mainstream culture. Family connections are not so important to most people. Dropping the names of wealthy or famous people the family knows is done in the United States, but it is not viewed positively. More important is a persons own individual “track record” of personal achievement. Thus, many cultural differences exist in family structures and values. In some cultures, the family is the center of life and the main frame of reference for decisions. In other cultures, the individual, not the family, is primary. In some cultures, the familys reputation and honor depend on each persons actions;in other cultures, individuals can act without permanently affecting the family life. Some cultures value old people, while other cultures look down on them. (Adapted from R. L. Oxford & R. C.Scarcella, “A Few Family Structures and Values Around the Globe”)OutlineSupporting details36
