People used to think that learning two languages created confusion in the mind. Far【C1】________it was thought, to get one right than bother with two. An even more extreme and【C2】________view was that learning two languages caused a kind of mental illness or dual personality.
Some studies did seem to【C3】________the idea that learning two languages could be problematic; early researchers noted that bilingual people tended to have smaller vocabularies and slower access to words. But these myths and【C4】________disadvantages have now been overshadowed by a【C5】________of new research showing the【C6】________psychological benefits of learning another language. And these extend way【C7】________being able to order a cup of coffee abroad or ask directions to your hotel.
First, Language centers in the brain actually grow as a result of successful language learning. The better you learn, the more those【C8】________areas of the brain grow. Second, bilingualism【C9】________Alzheimer’s disease in susceptible people by as much as five years. Seems unbelievable,【C10】________the studies are continuing to support this result. Third, being bilingual can lead to【C11】________listening skills, since the brain has to work harder to recognize different types of sounds in two or more languages. Fourth, you may become more language【C12】________. Infants in bilingual households can distinguish languages they’ve never even【C13】________before. Just being【C14】________the different sounds in, for example, Spanish and Catalan, helps them tell the difference between English and French. Fifth, it can【C15】________your memory. Babies brought up in a bilingual environment have stronger working memories than those brought up【C16】________only one language. Sixth, bilingual people can【C17】________from one task to another more quickly. Seventh, bilinguals have stronger control over their【C18】________and are better able to limit distractions. Furthermore, it can help develop new ways of seeing and improve your first language etc.
These are all quite apart from the benefits of【C19】________yourself in another culture, and of seeing your own culture from the【C20】________of another. You may well get something like ’a second soul’ from learning another language.

选项
A、modify
B、switch
C、divert
D、range
答案
B
解析
由空格后的from…to…quickly可知是由一项任务到另一项任务的转变,因此选B项switch“改变,转变”,代入后表明了双语人士较常人更出色的能力。A、C两项都有转移改变之意,但是A项modify“修改,更改”通常是指对某事做出小的改变以改善或使其不那么极端。C项divert“使转移”,常指使(人、物)改道(或转向)。两者语义均不符。D项range“排列”,将任务一项项排列,与本文主题无关。
