In the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language.(23)Researchers in the 60s found the opposite—bilingual people scored higher than monolinguals— people who speak only one language. So which is it? Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people smarter.(24)But researcher Ellen Stock says it probably does make you better at certain skills because bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function called the executive control system. Her work shows that bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease(老年痴呆症). Foreign language study has increased in the United States. But linguist Alison Mackey at Georgetown University points out that(25)English-speaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world. In England, like in the United States, he says, bilingualism is seen as something special and unique and something to be commented on, whereas in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.
23. What did researchers find in the 1960s?
24. What does Ellen Stock find about bilingual people?
25. What does Alison Mackey say about bilingual education in the United States?
选项

B、It doesn’t arouse much attention.
C、It is important and natural in people’s life.
D、It is gaining more attention from the public.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。本题问的是Alison Mackey对美国双语教学的看法。短文最后部分提到了Alison Mackey对双语现象的观点——在英国和在美国一样,双语现象被认为是特殊的、独一无二的、惹人评论的东西,而在世界上许多其他地方,双语只是生活中很自然的一部分。再结合上文中提到的讲英语的国家在外语学习方面远远落后于世界上其他国家可以推断,Alison Mackey认为英美人并不重视双语教学。
