B．Dependent.C．Talkative. D．Energetic.答案C解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句中的“normally”和“nearlyspeechless”可知，通常情況下，LaurenCollins是很健談的，但是在新的環(huán)境中她因為語言不通而感到不知所措，幾乎說不出話。由此可知，voluble表示的應是與speechless相反的意思。12．WhydolinguistscallAmerica“thegraveyardoflanguages”？A．BecauseotherlanguagesareprohibitedinAmerica.B．BecauseonlyEnglish-speakingpeoplecanimmigrateintoAmerica.C．Becauseimmigrants’nativelanguagescontradictEnglishinAmerica.D．BecauseAmericancultureswallowsupimmigrants’nativelanguagesgradually.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“itssingularabilitytotakeinmillionsofimmigrantsandmaketheirnativelanguagesdieoutinafewgenerations”可知，語言學家之所以將美國稱作“語言的墓地”是因為美國文化會逐漸地吞噬移民的母語。13．WhatcanbeinferredfromParagraph4andParagraph5?A．Collins’sEnglishvocabularyknowledgecontributeslittletoherFrenchlearning.B．CollinshasfoundoutsomeeffectivewaysofmasteringFrenchwords.C．ArabicorMandarinChineseareeasiertolearnthanFrenchforEnglishspeakers.D．It’sterrifyingforCollinstohaveFrenchwordsinstoreforpracticaluse.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Collinsnotessmartlythat...‘Althoughit’sdifficult，F(xiàn)renchcanbetried，’shesays”和第五段中的“findsplentyofterrificFrenchwordstolo
