来，有一种越来越流行的趋势，即在很小的时候，有时甚至在学前阶段就引入正式的读写技能)”提出早期引入正式读写技能的趋势，F选项“Theyassumethattheearlierachildreads,themoresuccessfultheywillbeacademically.(他们认为孩子阅读越早，在学业上就会越成功)”解释了这种趋势背后的原因，即人们认为孩子阅读越早，学业就会越成功，上下文逻辑关系清晰。故选F项。【18题详析】上文“However,educationalresearchindicatesthatthisearlypushforreadingdoesnotalwaysleadtobetterlong-termresults.(然而，教育研究表明，这种早期对阅读的推动并不总是带来更好的长期结果)”指出早期阅读的推动并不一定带来好的长期结果，C选项“Infact,thebenefitsofearlyreadingmaybelessthanmanypeopleexpect.(事实上，早期阅读的好处可能比许多人预期的要少)”进一步强调早期阅读的好处可能不如人们预期的那么多，与上文意思一致，起到了补充说明的作用。故选C项。【19题详析】上文“Infact,somestudiesshowthatchildrenwhobeginreadinginstructionlater,aroundagesixorseven,oftencatchupquicklytothosewhostartedearlier.

(事实上，一些研究表明，开始阅读指导较晚的孩子，大约在6岁或7岁左右，通常会很快赶上那些开始得更早的孩子)”提出在阅读能力上年龄较大的孩子通常会很快赶上那些开始得更早的孩子，E选项“Moreover,thesechildrensometimesdevelopstrongerreadingcomprehensionskills.(此外，这些孩子有时会发展出更强的阅读理解能力)”承接上文，进一步说明这些年龄较大孩子的优势，同时引出下文“Onereasonmaybethatolderchildrencanmoreeasilyconnectwhattheyreadtotheirexistingknowledgeandexperiences,whichsupportsdeepercomprehension.(一个原因可能是年龄较大的孩子更容易将他们所读的内容与他们现有的知识和经验联系起来，这有助于更深入的理解)”，解释了年龄较大的孩子阅读能力可能更强的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。【20题详析】上文“Therefore,focusingtoomuchonveryearlyliteracymaybemisguided.(因此，过多地关注非常早期的读写能力可能是错误的)”得出结论，指出过多关注早期读写能力可能是错误的，B选项“Onthecontrary,itmayevencauseunnecessarypressureonyoungkids.(相反，它甚至可能给年幼的孩子带来不必要的压力)”进一步说明过多关注早期读写能力可能带来的负面影响，即给孩子带来不必要的压力，与上文构成因果关系，使文章的逻辑更加严密。故选B项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Whilehighschoollifeoftenfollowsasetcurriculum,collegetrulysetsthestageforpersonal____21____.Iexperiencedthisjourneyofself-discoveryfirsthandandeventually____22____somethingthatprofoundlyenrichedmycollegelife:AmericanSignLanguage(ASL).Ihad____23____consideredlearningasignlanguagebefore.Comingfromahearingfamilywithallmy____24____alsobeinghearing,spokenlanguageshadalwayssufficed.ItneveroccurredtomethatIwould____25____suchapassionforASL.My____26____withASLbeganduringmyfirstweekofcollege.IwitnessedtheASLClub’sbeautifultranslationofasong.Iwasattractednotonlybythegracefulhand____27____butalsobythepowerfulconceptofcommunicationbeyondspeech.Theexperiencewas____28____differentfromanythingIhadeverknown,andthisnoveltyleftmeeagerformore.____29____bythisinitialexposure,IdecidedtoattendoneoftheASLClub’smeetings.Thatday,Imerelylearnedhowto____30____thealphabetinASL.However,farfromfeelingfrustratedbytheslowpace,Iwasthoroughly____31____.Thispositiveexperiencemotivatedmetoparticipateintheclub’sactivitiesregularly.The____32____semester,IenrolledinaformalASLcourse.Myprofessorwasdeaf,andoralcommunicationinclasswasstrictly____33____.Surprisingly,Isoonfoundthesilencenotawkwardbutpeaceful.Irealizedthatifspeakinghadbeenallowed,itmighthave____34____ustoengagelessdeeplywiththelanguage.Now,Itrulyappreciatethesilenceandthe____35____,uniqueworldofcommunicationithasunveiledforme.21.A.collection B.achievement C.exploration D.expression22.A.recorded B.found C.discussed D.offered23.A.almost B.always C.already D.never24.A.friends B.tutors C.relatives D.colleagues25.A.perform B.discover C.recite D.challenge26.A.story B.dream C.problem D.adventure27.A.rules B.movements C.paintings D.signals28.A.barely B.eventually C.completely D.necessarily29.A.Amused B.Embarrassed C.Inspired D.Confused30.A.spell B.express C.memorize D.write31.A.tired B.bored C.excited D.annoyed32.A.following B.previous C.busy D.short33.A.welcomed B.repeated C.encouraged D.prohibited34.A.required B.caused C.allowed D.reminded35.A.easy B.popular C.traditional D.new【答案】21.C22.B23.D24.A25.B26.A27.B28.C29.C30.A31.C32.A33.D34.B35.D【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学期间发现了美国手语（ASL），并因此改变了大学生活的体验。【21题详析】考查名词词义辨析。句意：虽然高中生活通常遵循固定的课程安排，但大学则真正为个人的探索提供了广阔的空间。A.collection收集；B.achievement成就；C.exploration探索；D.expression表达。根据前文“Whilehighschoollifeoftenfollowsasetcurriculum,collegetrulysetsthestageforpersonal”和后文“Iexperiencedthisjourneyofself-discoveryfirsthand”可知，虽然高中生活通常遵循固定的课程安排，但大学则真正为个人的探索提供了广阔的空间。故选C。【22题详析】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我亲身经历了这段自我探索的过程，并最终找到了一件极大地丰富了我大学生活的事物：美国手语（ASL）。A.recorded记录；B.found发现；C.discussed讨论；D.offered提供。根据后文的“somethingthatprofoundlyenrichedmycollegelife”可知，作者发现了改变大学生活经历的东西。故选B。【23题详析】考查副词词义辨析。句意：我之前从未想过要学习手语。A.almost几乎；B.always总是；C.already已经；D.never从不。根据后文的“Comingfromahearingfamilywithallmy________alsobeinghearing,spokenlanguageshadalwayssufficed.”可知，作者的家人和朋友都能听见，在交流中，口头语言就足够了，所以作者以前从来没有想过学习手语。故选D。【24题详析】考查名词词义辨析。句意：我来自一个听力正常的家庭，我的所有朋友也都听力正常，所以口语交流一直都能满足我们的需求。A.friends朋友；B.tutors家教；C.relatives亲戚；D.colleagues同事。根据前文的“Comingfromahearingfamily
