14、ask, no doctor has ever heard “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue?

21、the vocabulary of a foreign language答案：(1)-(4) ABCD 解析：(1) 推理判断题。从第一段中的“To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is No.”可知，一个人既然连自己母语的词汇都不可能全部认识，那么在学习外语时，也就没有必要记住所有的词汇。(2) 句意理解题。根据画线句子后面一句“But you do know this phenomenon and think that it isnt because of a bad memory

22、.” 可以推知，这里是说你一时想不起来那个词。故选B项。(3) 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.”可知C项为正确答案。(4) 主旨大意题。本文介绍的主要是学习外语时的词汇量问题，分析四个选项可知，D项符合主题。3.

30、rn a foreign language well in six months.3. (1)-(4) DDA 语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎，从而引起了au pair的流行，即雇用说汉语的中国保姆来照顾孩子，以便孩子们能够跟保姆学习汉语等情况。(1) 推理判断题。由第二段中约瑟夫请了一个25岁的中国女子照顾他两岁的儿子，以此给儿子创造学习汉语的机会，和第三段中一位华侨母亲也用这种方式教育自己的两个孩子，以及第四段中一位语言教授提到的“和说母语的人在一起学习语言比在教室好”等信息可知，an pair指的是负责照顾孩子的外国保姆。A项指“独自抚养孩子的母亲”，B项指“

31、在家里学习外语的孩子”，C项指“儿童语言教育方面的教授”，这些均不是au pair所指代的内容。(2) 细节理解题。结合第三段的内容可知，她本是一名中国人，但还是请了一位说汉语的保姆来让孩子们学习汉语，再根据她所说的“Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to the language and culture.”可知，她这样做的目的是让孩子们接触中国的语言和文化，故选D项。A项指“将来有一天居住在中国”，B项指“在家里说汉语”，C项指“赶上其他的孩子们”，这些信息在文章中都没有提及。

32、(3) 主旨大意题。本文通过列举一些具体的例子，说明了美国的父母们正在兴起一种“au pair”热，即通过请说汉语的中国保姆来照顾自己的孩子，从而让孩子们有机会学习汉语，这说明了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎，因此选A项。B项指受过教育的妇女在照顾孩子方面更擅长，与本文的主要内容没有关系；C项虽然提到了Chinese au pairs, 但是其侧重点在她们需要提高自己的英语技能上；D项说“孩子们可以在6个月内学好一门外语”这与本文中儿童教育学家说的“Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”相矛盾。4.There are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English.
