鸟类。将被重新命名的鸟类包括目前被称为威尔逊营和威尔逊鹤的鸟类，它们都是以

19世纪博物学家亚历山大威尔逊的名字命名的。奥杜邦的海鸥，一种以约翰•詹姆

斯・奥杜邦命名的海鸟，也将得到一个新名字。2020年，该组织将一种曾经指联邦军

longerbenamedafterpeople,theAmericanOrnithologicalSociety（美国鸟类学会）

announcedWednesday.Nextyear,theorganizationwillbegintorenamearound80species

foundintheU.S.andCanada.（美国鸟类学会周三宣布，北美的鸟类将不再以人的名字

命名。明年，该组织将开始重新命名在美国和加拿大发现的大约80个物种。）”可

知，文章主要报道了美国鸟类学会宣布将不再以人名命名北美洲的鸟类，并计划在未

来一年内重新命名美国和加拿大发现的约80个物种。文章详细描述了这一决定的背

景、原因以及相关的讨论和争议。D选项“BirdSpeciestoBeRenamedNextYear（明年

鸟类将被重新命名）”最适合作文章标题。故选D。

16.答案：DAFCB

解析：①D根据空前一句"What'sthebestwaytogoaboutthis?（什么是最好的方法?）”

可知，空前是在提问什么是最好的方法，空处应回答该问题。DUnfortunately,there's

no"bestway"tolearnanewlanguage.（遗憾的是，学习一门新语言没有最好的方法。）”

可以作为该问题的回答，且D项与空后一句"Therearemanydifferentwaystoapproach

it.（有许多不同的方法来处理它。）”是顺承关系。故选D。

②A根据本段的主旨句"Isgrammarimportant语法重要吗？”可知，本段与学习语法

是否重要有关。由空前“Yes,grammarisimportant.Butafteralbwhenyou5relearning

yourfirstlanguageasababy,yourparentsdon'thavetoteachyoutheclearrulesofthe

language.（是的，语法很重要。但毕竟，当你在婴时期学习第一语言时，你的父母不需

要教你语言的明确规则。）”可知，学习语言不用刻意地学习语法而是自然而然地学

习。A项“Youjustpickitupbynature.（你只是自然而然地学会了。）“是对前一句的进

一步解释，能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。

③F根据本段主旨句提出的问题“ShouldIfocusonspeakingorwriting（我应该专注于

说还是

写?）"和下文"Ifyouwanttotravelandcommunicatewithnativespeakers,thenwriting

mightbeslightlylesshelpful.Butifyou5relearningLatinbecauseyouwanttoreadtextsin

theoriginallanguage,thenyoucanprobablyskipthespeakingpartentirely.（如果你想去

于行并与母语人士交流，那么写作可能就没那么有用了。但如果你学习拉丁语是因为

你想阅读原文，那么你可以完全跳过口语部分。）”可知，，应该专注于说还是写这个

问题的答案取决于你希望达成什么。顶"Theanswertothisquestionreallydependson

whatyouhopetoachieve.（这个问题的答案实际上取决于你希望达到什么目标。）“能承

上启下，符合此处的语境。故选F。

（4）C根据空前的"Beingexposedtoalanguagewillalwayshelpyouwithyourlearning.（接

触一门语言对你的学习总是有帮助的。）”可知，接触一门语对学习有帮助。根据空后

的“Watchingmoviestolearnalanguagemayhavehelpedsomewhat.Butifsimportantnot

totrapyourselfwithacomplexlanguage.通过看电影来学习一门语言可能会有所帮助。

但重要的是不要让自己陷入复杂的语言中。）”可知，看电影来学习语言可能有一定的

帮助，要有技巧。c顶“Yettherealquestioniswhatyoushouldwatchorlistento.（然而，

真正的问题是你应该看什么或听什么。）”与前文形成转折，指出真正的问题是你应该

看什么或听什么，且能引起下文，符合此处的语

境。故选C。

⑤B空前一句"Oneofthebestwaystomakelearningmorefunistoworkitintoyour

otherhobbies.让学习变得更有趣的最好方法之一就是把它和你的其他爱好结合起

来。）”点明主题。根据下文*Youcan'tlearntoplaytheguitarandgojoggingatthesame

time,forexample.However,languageisalwaysaroundyouandyoucanpracticeitwhile

doingsomethingelse.Whilejogging,youcouldlistentoapodcastinanotherlanguage.

Whileplayingtheguitar,youcouldpicksongsthatareinyourtargetlanguage.Anyway,

connectingyourinterestsreallymatters.（例如，你不可能一边学弹吉他一边去慢跑。然

而，语言总是在你身边，你可以在做其他事情的时候练习它。慢跑在弹吉他的时，你

可以听另一种语言的播客，你可以选择目标语言的歌曲无论如何，把依候兴趣联系起

来真的很重要。”所举的例子和所代解释可知，学习一门新语言不像大多数其他孩

子，因为每时每刻语言都在我们身边。所以B项“hewlanguageisn'tlikemostother
