【点评】考查阅读理解。首先要通读全文，了解文章大意，紧紧抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，然后明确词意，结合排除法逐一选出答案，最后再通读全文，核对答案。8．细节理解题。根据第二段"herstorieswereinthewaysheate—shesavoredherfood,valuedit.Oftenshewouldbethefirsttositatthedinnertable,andthelasttoleave.Foodhadbeenreallyscarcewhenshegrewup.（她的故事体现在她吃饭的方式里——她品味食物、珍惜食物。她常常第一个上桌，最后一个离开。她成长的年代食物非常匮乏）"可知，祖母花很多时间吃饭是因为她想好好享受食物，故选D。9．细节理解题。根据第三段"AsIgrewolder,Irealizedthatshewasn'tteachingmeaboutmoney,butabouttraditionandhardworkandfamily.（随着年龄增长，我意识到她不是在教我关于钱的事，而是在教我传统、努力和家庭）"可知，作者从祖母给压岁钱的方式中学到"努力很重要"，故选D。10．推理判断题。根据第四段"Thosetwolittlewords,inthecourseofmygrowingup,wereaconstantreminderthatIwasstillsoyoung,withstillsofartogo.（在我成长的过程中，这两个字不断提醒我：我还很年轻，还有很长的路要走）"可推测，作者听到祖母叫她"好女孩"时，意识到自己需要不断进步，故选B。11．推理判断题。根据全文可知，祖母通过吃饭、给压岁钱、叫"好女孩"等行为，潜移默化地教作者珍惜、努力、进步，且根据"seeherinthewomenaroundmeandinthemirror.Sheliveswithme,insideme（在身边的女性身上、在镜子里看到她，她活在我心里）"可知，祖母为作者树立了好榜样，选项C符合题意；故选C。【答案】12．C13．B14．D15．B【解析】【分析】本文讲述了研究表明，经过音乐训练的人，在学汉语方面会更加容易。音乐训练和汉语学习均用到了大脑相同的部位。这些部位可以帮助人们更好地发现音高的变化，有助于人们学习语言。

【点评】考查阅读理解。通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。12．细节理解题。根据第一段"AnyforeignerwhohastriedtolearnChinesecantellhowharditistomasterthetonesrequiredtospeakandunderstand.（任何尝试过学汉语的外国人都知道，掌握说和理解所需的声调有多难）"可知，外国人学汉语时会发现"掌握说和理解所需的声调很难"，故选C。13．细节理解题。根据第二段"researchersfromNorthwesternUniversitysaythatbothskillsdrawonthesamepartsofthebrainthathelppeoplediscoverchangesinpitch.（西北大学的研究人员表示，这两种技能（学汉语和学音乐）都利用了大脑中帮助人们察觉音高变化的相同区域）"可知，汉语学习与音乐训练相关是因为"两者的学习技能利用大脑的相同区域"，故选B。14．词义猜测题。根据第四段"Asingle-syllablewordcanhaveseveralmeaningsdependingonhowitisintoned.（一个单音节词可能有多种含义，取决于它如何被intoned）"可知，汉语中声调决定词义，故"intoned"应与"发音（尤其是声调）"相关，"pronounced（发音）"符合语境，故选D。15．标题选择题。文章主要介绍研究发现：有音乐训练的人学汉语更容易（因两者利用大脑相同区域察觉音高），且可能反过来，说声调语言的人学乐器更易。B"敏锐的音乐听觉可能有助于语言学习"概括核心内容，故选B。【答案】16．D；17．A；18．B；19．G；20．E【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了青少年现在的生活和过去的生活作对比，详细介绍了生活变化之大，同时也带来了一些问题。
