由此可知，胎教帮助母鸟辨别出那些适应环境较好的孩子。

【答案】BDC

【分析】

1.细节判断题。

根据第二段的Itappearsthatresearchonbilingualismisataturningpoint.Weneedtopursueanewapproachtounderstand,beyondthoseindividualexamplesofexecutivefunctions,howthebilingualmindworks.可知现在研究对于双语思维如何工作的理解方法发生了改变。

2.推理判断题。

题目问：

最后一段如何发展？

根据最后一段的内容不难看出是将双语和一种语言进行了对比，故选D。

3.推理判断题。

从文中来看，作者既提及了双语的好处，也提到了双语的缺点，如最后一段中的Inotherwords,bilingualshadlessinsightintotheirperformancethanmonolinguals.。

所以态度应该是“客观的”。
