简答题
It helps to speak more than one language—even if the benefits are unquantifiable. Just a few generations ago, speaking two languages was supposed to be bad for you. Tests in America found that bilingual people had lower IQS, which seemed evidence enough. (46) Later it became clear that those surveys were really measuring the material poverty of immigrants; members of such families were more likely to be undernourished and understimulated, not to mention the obvious fact that they often sat the tests in a language that was not their best.How things have changed. In the past decade it has become almost common knowledge that bilingualism is good for you—witness articles such "Why Bilinguals are Smarter" and "The Amazing Benefits of Being Bilingual" by the New York Times and the BBC. (47) Most notably, they have shown that bilinguals get dementia on average four years later than monolinguals, and that they have an edge in "executive control"—a basket of abilities that aid people doing complex tasks. Why bilingualism would enhance these capabilities is unclear. (48) Researchers hypothesise that having two languages means suppressing one when speaking the other, a kind of constant mental exercise that makes the brain healthier.But as intellectual pendulums do, this one has begun to swing again, against the "bilingual advantage". Roberto Filippi of University College London and his colleagues have spent five years testing more than 600 people, from seven to 80 years old and including some who oscillate between two languages. They could find no statistically significant advantage in any age cohort. (49) In response to the scepticism, researchers who believe in the advantage have refined their studies—now acknowledging that bilingual people use their languages in varying ways that may account for the incongruent previous results. A second language expands the number of people you can talk to. It adds to the ways you can say things, and so offers a second point of view on the whole business of expression. (50) One study found that bilingual children are better at grasping other perspectives, perhaps because they are always keeping track of who speaks what, a regular reminder that everyone is different.

答案：
解析：
根据题目给出的资料，第（46）题考查的是对文中某一段内容的理解和概括。该段提到了一些关于双语人群的早期调查，发现他们智商较低，但后来才弄清楚这些调查实际上是在衡量移民的物质贫困状况，双语家庭的成员更有可能营养不良和缺乏刺激，而且他们参加测试时通常使用的是非母语。因此，答案为“后来才弄清楚，这些调查实际上是在衡量移民的物质贫困状况”。
