问题     Many people believe that bilinguals have two different personalities,
one for each of the languages they speak, and that switching between
languages makes  bilinguals  act  differently. Whether this may seem【M1】____________
unbelievable to some, research actually supports this idea.
    According to various studies,  bilinguals, who are also bicultural
are actively involved in both of their cultures, interpret situations【M2】____________
differently depending on which language they speak. Although everyone,
monolinguals and bilinguals alike, are able to change the way they feel【M3】____________
and interpret events, biculturals do this without realizing when switched【M4】____________
between languages.
    In this study, bicultural Hispanic women in the United States
viewed a series of TV commercials in both of their languages and were
asked to judge the main characters. Interesting enough, when viewing【M5】____________
the Spanish-speaking version the participants of the study saw the
main character as an independent and extroverted female. On the other
hand, when viewing the English-speaking version, they looked the same【M6】____________
character as hopeless and alone. This study also noted, however, that【M7】____________
this change in reasoning only happened with bicultural bilinguals.
    Depending on the languages spoken, biculturals will act differently.
The changes are not only linguistic. As an English-Spanish bicultural,
I do find out I act differently depending on which culture I am immersed【M8】____________
in at the time. I am often aware of the fact when I speak to other Spanish【M9】____________
speakers my voice is slightly louder and I gesticulate more when I talk to【M10】___________
English speakers. Could we then say that bilinguals have two different
personalities?

选项

答案switched→switching

解析 非谓语动词误用。在when引导的时间状语从句中,如果从句主语与主句主语相同且从句谓语中含有be,那么从句主语和be动词可以同时省略。分析句子结构可知,主句主语biculturals与从句谓语switch之间为主动关系,所以switch应用现在分词形式,故将switched改为switching。
