States in 1981 At that time they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English This was because they were now living in an English speaking country Now the Vieira children are adults and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends But they cannot communicate with them Unfortunately this is common When people move to new countries they often leave their own customs and mother language behind This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world You do not have to depend on others to talk for you so you re more independent People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate Furthermore speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively Local expressions vocabulary and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person s understanding of another culture So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures Finally having more multi language speakers improves relationships between countries If people from different countries can communicate well the world can become closer Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other s problems 第 7 页 共

themselves forget their mother language and become silenced 1 What is the passage mainly about A The benefits of learning other languages B The reasons why people come to America C The importance of

characters to the readers C describe the advantages of moving to another country D show the problems of speaking only one language 3 The underlined phrase multi language speakers Paragraph 5 means people who know A their mother language B a new language C more than one language D body language 4 According to the last paragraph which of the following is the worst A Not knowing another language B Forgetting one s mother language C Refusing to learn another language 第 8 页 共 21 页 D Failing to communicate with others 13 8 分 阅读理解 Thousands of years ago people couldn t live for long Most people
