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.
【C20】
选项
A、symptoms
B、decline
C、incidences
D、spread
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:双语使用者最多可比单语使用者晚四年发病。承接上一句,本句继续讨论多语使用给老年痴呆症患者带来的益处。再根据后置定语of the disease,之前的动词show,以及句中“晚四年”等信息,可知此处应选择symptoms“症状”。decline“衰退”、incidences“发生率”、spread“传播”均不合原文语境,故均可排除。
