Bilingual education is controversial in the United States.【C1】______, a growing body of research shows that【C2】______speaking two languages comes with certain types of improved mental【C3】______. Being able to use two languages and never knowing which one to be used right now is good to the brain. The attentional executive system, crucial for all higher thought, seems to be【C4】______.
Executive functioning allows us to keep a goal in mind, take【C5】______to achieve that goal, and to ignore other information that might【C6】______ us from that goal. The question is; Would it be the case that bilinguals, by the【C7】______need for controlling the two languages, develop a more efficient executive functioning system? The results suggest that bilinguals【C8】______have this positive collateral effect, which is even stronger when it goes to kids and older people. These are ages【C9】______executive functioning is worse.
Bilinguals do better at tests that require multitasking, including ones that【C10】______ driving and talking on a phone. And the longer people have spoken multiple languages, the greater the cognitive【C11】______. There are even benefits when languages were【C12】______at later ages.
Certainly, bilingualism comes with some 【C13】______. Bilinguals have more " tip-of-the-tongue" problems. There are a couple of milliseconds before they can target. Bilingual children, also, have 【C14】______ a smaller vocabulary in each of their languages than monolingual children,【C15】______they probably know more words altogether.
Still, all of these findings are【C16】______ abstract. It is difficult to take laboratory findings showing better executive functioning in bilinguals and demonstrate that they【C17】______ into better performance in the workplace or some other practical 【C18】______. The only real, world application preliminarily demonstrated may be that multilingualism can【C19】______health benefits to Alzheimer’s patients. Bilinguals show【C20】______ of the disease up to four years later than monolinguals.
【C6】
选项
A、distract
B、separate
C、guide
D、deceive
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。句意同上。根据上下文语境,为保持头脑对目标的专注力,必须摒除与目标无关的信息。再由后文的介词。from可知此处动词的意思是“分散注意力”,故选择distract。其他各项虽均可与介词from搭配,但不能表达出注意力分散之意,故排除。
