2.中国的官方语言普通话(Mandarin)在美国的学校中突然热起来。由于中国

经济在21世纪的快速发展，美国的公立和私立学校纷纷在外语课程中加入汉语

这一科目，或将已有的汉语教学项目进行扩展。据统计，在美国的学校中，有5

万名孩子在学习汉语。但推动汉语项目的发展不是没有遇到困难。由于缺乏受过

专业训练、持有证书的教师，一些学校很难加入汉语教学的竞争。当学校聘用教

师时，它们通常直接从中国招聘，这种方式为文化冲突埋下了隐患。

解析：mechanisms的意思是“机制，机能”，此处指光线照射、饥饿感和新

陈代谢三者之间的“作用机制:故本题选N。

参考译文

最新的研究表明，在夜晚使用电脑或者智能手机可能会让我们的体重增加好

几磅。这项研究发现接触智能手机和平板电脑发出的蓝光会增加饥饿感。并且，

被此光线照射会增加数小时的饥饿感,甚至是刚刚吃过饭的人,饥饿感也会增加。

这项来自美国的研究结果显示，相对于昏喑的光线辐射来说，在被明亮蓝色光线

照射15分钟后，饥饿感便会开始增加。这种饥饿感在饭后近两小时内都会存在。

同时，蓝光照射已被证实会减少夜间的困意，从而增加患失眠症的风险。

研究者之一，来自芝加哥西北大学的张艾薇称：“夜晚被明亮蓝光照射三个

小时，会对饥饿感和葡萄糖代谢有着极大的影响。”“该研究之所以意义重大，是

因为其结果表明，控制人体周围环境的光线照射或许是一种可左右饮食摄入方式

和新陈代谢的新方法。”实验的研究对象是10位有着规律睡眠和饮食时间的健康

成年人。在研究期间，研究对象每日摄入完全相同的高碳水亿合物食物。他们在

昏暗光线环境下完成了一个为期四天的实验：在每日16小时的清醒状态下接受

低于20勒克斯的光照，而在8小时的睡眠期间接受低于3勒克斯的光照。第三

天，研究对象在起床10.5小时后的3小时内受到了260勒克斯的明亮蓝光照射，

然后将其实验结果与实验第二天用昏暗光线照射的结果进行了对比。

张女士表示，光线照射、饥饿感和新陈代谢三者之间的作用机制仍然需要进

一步的研究证明。
