新素养·语言能力 Nowadays, AI language tools are everywhere. People might w 1 if learning a language is still necessary. After all, why spend time learning a new language when AI can translate anything in a second?

However, learning a language is still w 2 it. While using AI tools can make life easier, it can't completely r 3 the experience of learning a language. That is to say, AI can help you learn a language, but it cannot take its place. So why is speaking foreign languages still important today?
In the first place, speaking foreign languages allows you to connect with different cultures. When you speak someone's native language, you can b 4 understand their humor, values, and hidden social rules—things AI often cannot understand. For example, when Chinese people ask “Have you eaten yet?”, it is usually a warm g 5 rather than a real question about food. AI can translate the sentence, but it can never fully understand the care and kindness behind it.
B 6, speaking more than one language is a powerful skill for your career. Multilingual(多语言) people often have an a 7 in the international job market. They develop stronger communication skills, which help them work well with people from other countries.
Last but not least, language learning opens your mind. When you learn a language, you learn to look at things in different ways. It helps you form your o 8 opinions. Instead of being told what to think, you can a 9 read, listen, speak, and think for yourself.
In a word, the b 10 of language learning go far beyond mere words. They shape how you connect with the world.

五、【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI语言工具虽普及，但学习语言仍有重要价值，从文化交流、职业发展和思维成长三个方面说明了学习语言的意义。
1. wonder 上文介绍AI语言工具随处可见，下文提出何必花费时间学习语言，由此可知人们想知道学习语言是否有必要；情态动词might后接动词原形。故填wonder。
2. worth 根据下文“While using AI tools can make life easier, it can't completely r 3 the experience of learning a language.”可知AI工具不能完全取代学习语言的体验，由此可知学习语言仍然值得；be worth it表示“值得”。故填worth。
3. replace 根据下文“AI can help you learn a language, but it cannot take its place”可知AI可以辅助学习语言却无法取而代之；can't后接动词原形。故填replace。
4. better 根据空后“things AI often cannot understand”可知AI无法理解深层文化内涵，与之对比，人能理解得更透彻。故填better。
5. greeting 根据空前“Have you eaten yet?”并结合常识可知，“你吃饭了吗？”是日常问候，并非询问饮食问题。故填greeting。
6. Besides 上文从文化交流方面介绍学习语言的意义，本段从第二个方面介绍，上下文是递进关系。故填Besides。
7. advantage 根据下文“They develop stronger communication skills, which help them work well with people from other countries.”可知掌握多种语言的人在国际就业市场中有优势。故填advantage。
8. own 根据下文“Instead of being told what to think”可知学习语言能不被动接受他人的想法，而是形成自己的观点；one's own表示“自己的”。故填own。
9. actively 根据空前“Instead of being told what to think”和空后“think for yourself”可知不被动接受他人的想法，而是主动阅读、倾听、说话和独立思考。故填actively。
10. benefits 根据下文“They shape how you connect with the world.”可知学习语言的好处远不止于词汇本身，它重塑你与世界连接的方式；根据空后“go”可知应用名词复数。故填benefits。
