12.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Peopleoftenaskwhichisthemostdifficultlanguagetolearn,anditisnoteasytoanswerbecausetherearetoomanyfactorstotakeintoconsideration.(人们经常会问，哪一种语言最难学，因为要考虑的因素太多了，所以不容易回答)”可推知，世界上有太多的语言，所以很难说哪一种语言最难学。故选D。

13.细节理解题。根据第二段中“AnativespeakerofSpanish,forexample,willfindPortuguesemucheasiertolearnthananativespeakerofChinesebecausePortugueseisverysimilartoSpanish,whileChineseisverydifferent,sofirstlanguagecanaffectlearningasecondlanguage.(例如，以西班牙语为母语的人会发现比以汉语为母语的人更容易学习葡萄牙语，因为葡萄牙语与西班牙语非常相似，而汉语则截然不同，所以第一语言会影响第二语言的学习)”可知，以葡萄牙语为母语的人会觉得西班牙语更容易学，因为它也使用罗马字母。故选C。

14.词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Teachersandthecircumstancesinwhichthelanguageislearnedalsoplayanimportantrole,aswellaseachlearner’smotivationforlearning.Ifpeoplelearnalanguagebecausetheyneedtouseitprofessionally,theyoftenlearnitfasterthanpeoplestudyingalanguagethathasnodirectuseintheirdaytodaylife.(教师和学习语言的circumstances以及每个学习者的学习动机也发挥着重要作用。如果人们学习一门语言是因为他们需要专业地使用它，他们通常比学习一门在日常生活中没有直接使用的语言更快)”可知，老师和学习环境，还有每个学者的学习动机，在学语言中也扮演着重要作用。故画线词意思是“一个特别的境况和环境”。故选A。

15.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Obviously,BritishdiplomatsandotherembassystaffhavefoundthatthesecondhardestlanguageisJapanese,whichwillprobablycomeasnosurprisetomany,butthelanguagethattheyhavefoundtobethemostproblematicisHungarian,whichusesasimilaralphabettoEnglishbuthas35cases(formsofanounsaccordingtowhetheritissubject,object,genitive,etc).ThisdoesnotmeanthatHungarianisthehardestlanguagetolearnforeveryone,butitcausesBritishdiplomaticpersonnel,whoaregenerallyusedtolearninglanguages,themostdifficulty.(显然，英国外交官和其他大使馆工作人员发现，第二难的语言是日语，这对许多人来说可能并不奇怪，但他们发现问题最多的语言是匈牙利语，它使用与英语相似的字母表，但有35个格（名词的形式取决于它是主语、宾语、属格等）。这并不是说匈牙利语对每个人来说都是最难学的语言，但它让一般习惯学习语言的英国外交人员最困难)”可推知，不是匈牙利语的书写体系而是它的语法复杂性给本地英国学者带来麻烦。故选B。

【答案】16.A17.D18.C19.G20.F

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了发生森林火灾时，消防队员的任务分工以及如何切断火线灭火。

17.根据下文“Firefightersrelyonteamwork.Thisgroupoffirefighters,knownasahandcrew,willworktogetherwithabulldozer(推土机)andahelicopter.Thecrewhikeintothewoodstocutafireline.”（消防员依靠团队合作。这组消防员，被称为徒手队员，他们将与推土机和直升机一起工作。机组人员徒步进入树林切断一条火线。）可知，本段主要介绍森林消防员的工作机制。D选项“Let’sseewhatitmeanstobeaforestfirefighter.”（让我们看看当森林消防员意味着什么）符合本段的主题，并且firefighters是原词复现。故选D。

19.根据第二段“Thecrewhikeintothewoodstocutafireline.”（机组人员徒步进入树林切断一条火线。）及本段“Usingchainsaws,thefirsttwocrewmemberscutthebigwoodoutofthepath..Nextcometwoswampers,whoclearawaythewood.Thenextfirefightersinlinebreakupthegroundandhackattheremainingplants.Lastcomefirefighterswithshovelsandotherhandtools.”（第一批两名工作人员用链锯从小路上锯下一大块木头。接下来是两个帮工，他们清理木头。接下来排队的消防队员负责破土并砍掉剩下的植物。最后的消防队员，他们用铲子和其他手动工具）可知，本段详细介绍了徒手队员小组中每一个团队成员的分工任务，并且他们的总任务是切断火线。G选项“Aseachfirefightertakesaswingattheground,thefirelinegetsbetter.”（当每个消防员在地面上挥杆时，火线变得更好）符合前后介绍清理出一条火线的语境。故选G。

20.根据下文“Ahugerubberbucketiscarriedbeneaththehelicopter.Withtheflickofaswitch,thepilotreleasesthebottomofthebucket,andwaterpourstotheground.”（一个巨大的橡胶桶被放在直升机下面。随着一个开关的轻弹，飞行员释放桶的底部，水就会倾泻到地面）可知，飞行员所在机组在森林火灾中也承担一定的任务。F选项“Ifthefirethreatenstojumptheline,thecrewcallinthehelicopter.”（如果火势有可能越过警戒线，机组人员将呼叫直升机）指出火势越过警戒线时直升机将起作用，符合前后的语境，且thehelicopter是原词复现。故选F。
