老烤鸭雅思原创解析，请勿抄袭转载
第28题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第1段：This leaves a small number who claim to speak two or more languages – a small percentage of whom were born in New Zealand.
答案解析：第1段最后一句提到，很少人说两种或者更多的语言，其中只有一小部分出生于新西兰。这一题的关键在于理解定语从句的先行词whom，即说两种或者更多语言中的很少人。由此判断答案为TRUE。
第29题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第2段：But, if you speak another language to your children in New Zealand, there are some people who think that you are not helping them to become a member of society.
第3段：But in fact, the general agreement among experts is that learning a second language is good for children.
答案解析：第2段末尾提到，一些新西兰人认为，教授孩子第二种语言会阻碍他们融入社会；而第三段开头则提到专家普遍认为学习第二种语言对孩子有利。两者都无法代表大多数新西兰人的看法，由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第30题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第3段：so it doesn’t matter whether they are learning Maori or German or Chinese or any other language.
答案解析：原文只是提到具体的语言种类无关紧要，而没有比较哪种语言更为流行，题目属于无中生有，由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第31题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第3段：Experts believe that bilinguals- people who speak two languages – have a clear learning advantage over their monolingual schoolmates. This depends on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used
答案解析：原文提到，双语使用者相比于单一语言使用者而言拥有学习上的优势。这取决于他们每种语言能说多少，而非所使用的语言是哪种。可见只要学了，不同语言之间就没有差别。由此判断答案为FALSE。
第32题答案：A
对应原文：第4段：Cathie Elder says … A lot of studies have shown that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more slowly, this article is from laokaoya website, but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better
答案解析：这道题有一定的迷惑性。原文先说，学习两种语言的孩子可能学一种语言更慢，但随后就说到，最终他们会跟自己只说一种语言的同学做的一样好，甚至更好。可见他们最终会学的快一些，从而对应题干，由此确定答案为A。
第33题答案：C
对应原文：第7段：In New Zealand, immigrants face the possibillity of culture being lost along with the language their children no longer wish to speak. Tiffany’s mother, Susanne Dvorak, has experienced this.
答案解析：文章第7段提到，搬迁到新西兰的移民在丢失自己文化的同时，他们的孩子也可能不再愿意说原来的语言。Susanne Dvorak就经历了这一问题。随后三段详细说明了问题的表现，对应题干中在新西兰养育双语孩子的困难，由此确定C为正确答案。
第34题答案：C
对应原文：第9段：Today, when Susanne speaks to her daughter in German, she still answers in English. ‘Or sometimes she speaks half and half …’ says Suanne
答案解析：文章第9段提到，当Susanne跟她的女儿用德语说话时，她女儿会用英语回答。或者有时候，她也会夹杂两种语言。其中speaks half and half对应题干中的a mixture of two languages，由此确定答案为C。
第35题答案：B
对应原文：第10段：But, she says, this depends a lot on the attitudes of the societies
答案解析：第10段中间提到，这在很大程度上取决于社会的态度。其中this指代前面孩子的具体情况，而she则指代Brigitte Halford，由此确定B为正确答案。
第36题答案：A
对应原文：第12段：Cathie Elder … What parents should do is provide rich language experiences for their children in whatever language they speak well
答案解析：第12段中间提到，父母应该做的是为他们的孩子提供丰富的语言体验，无论他们说的语言到底是什么。其中whatever language即体现出具体的语言种类不重要，由此确定A为正确答案。
第37题答案：D
对应原文：第14段：Joanne Powell … By learning another language she can open the door to another culture
答案解析：文章倒数第二段最后一句提到，通过学习另一种语言，她打开了了解另一种文化的大门。题干与原文相比并没有大幅更改，很容易确定D为正确答案。
第38题答案：E
对应原文：第15段：It’s quite beneficial speaking another language in my job. Last year, my company sent me to a trade fair in Hong Kong because I could speak Chinese.
答案解析：文章最后一段用Donna Chan的例子说明了会另外一种语言对工作的帮助，由此确定E为正确答案。
第39题答案：AC
对应原文：第8段：But when Tiffany went to nursery school she stopped talking completely. She was quiet for about two or three months. Then, when she took up talking again, it was only in English.
第15段：She (Donna Chan) also remembers refusing to speak Chinese when she started primary school.
答案解析：文章第8段提到，当Tiffany上幼儿园时，她完全拒绝说话。沉默了两三个月之后，她才再次开口，但只说英语。即放弃了德语。而第15段中Donna Chan也表示自己开始上小学之后完全拒绝说中文。即他们都在儿童时期放弃了一种语言，由此确定答案为AC。
第40题答案：BF
对应原文：第13段：she (Susanne Dvorak) is aware that her daughter has a certain bilingual ability which, although mainly passive at this stage, may develop later on.
第14段：Joanne Powell feels the same way about her daughter, Ani. ‘At the moment she may not want to speak Maori but that’s okay because she’ll pick it up again in her own time.’
答案解析：文章第13段提到，Susanne Dvorak认为，她的女儿有着一定的双语能力。这种能力虽然目前没有显露出来，但以后会有所发展。而第14段开头则提到，Joanne Powell对其女儿抱有同样的想法。目前她可能不愿意说毛利语，但没关系，因为在适当的时候她自己会学会的。其中later on和in her own time对应题干中的as they get older，由此确定答案为BF。
