27、 Earlier research had suggested we're best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It's supposed to be much harder for older kids. The time when people can learn the rules and structure of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18. “But that's not so, ”says psychologist(心理学家)Joshua Hartshorne.
Hartshorne asked friends to take an online English grammar test. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived, the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. Hartshorne also asked how long they had lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped, people shared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne's group study the answers from 669, 498 native and non-native speakers of English. The researchers used statistics to find out when people with different English-speaking experiences reached their top grammar ability.
If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learned both English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a little worse than people who spoke English only, the researchers found. The test results showed that around age 17, people's ability to learn grammar took a sharp drop. And those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger. Why?The researchers think it's because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at surprise:Language learning did not end at 17. People's English skills kept improving a little until around age 30, the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language. Still, most language learning happened by age 20, the new study decided.
【1】What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research?
A.From 17 to 20. B.From 5 to 12.
C.Before age 5. D.From 20 to 30.
【2】How did Hartshorne get his study statistics?
A.By experimenting in the lab. B.By making an online survey.
C.By studying historical records. D.By collecting earlier study results.
【3】Which of the following agrees with Hartshorne's study results?
A.Language learning needs much practice.
B.Language learning ends at the age of 17.
C.The more languages you learn, the better.
D.It is best to learn language after 20 years old.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.How native speakers learn English?
B.What's the best age to learn a language?
C.What's the best way to learn a foreign language?
D.Why non-native speakers can never master a second language?
28、 “Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable quality in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and teacher. As a student, being confident means you should dare to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the topic---this is the last comment any graduate would not like to receive.
Being confidence for me as a foreign teacher means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself uneasiness or even shame. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches. (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking.) Modesty(谦虚) is a quality highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
【1】What should we do most if we want to compete with American students?
A.Be quite confident. B.Be polite and friendly.
C.Have more discussions. D.Know what they think about.
【2】A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ______.
A.gives a silly or simple answer
B.tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C.shows no interest in the course
D.is considered to have no opinion of his own
【3】The author is most likely to feel uneasiness if ______.
A.he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B.the students bargain with him
C.he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D.he has to give a speech
【4】The passage is mainly organized by ______.
A.giving examples B.describing personal experiences
C.giving different figures D.making comparisons
29、A scientist locked himself in a small air-tight plastic tent with 200 plants to see if they could change CO2 into oxygen (氧气) fast enough to keep him alive.
Kurtis Baute locked himself in a 3m by 3m tent in his brother’s backyard in British Columbia, Canada. He hoped to find out if by surrounding himself with plants, the CO2 he breathed out could be changed into oxygen to allow him to survive in the locked tent for at least three days. Unfortunately, he had to give up the experiment after only 15 hours, as CO2 levels reached a dangerous point where he risked suffering brain damage.
“I could probably survive in the tent for three days,” Baute wrote on his website. “But my goal is not to just ‘not die’. My goal is to end this project without developing brain damage or just generally causing lasting harm to my body. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what he risked as the 200 plants he took with him into the tent couldn’t meet his needs. Clearly, a cloudy sky prevented them from receiving all the sunlight they needed to perform photosynthesis (光合作用), so they couldn’t recycle CO2 fast enough.
“Plants are great at taking in CO2 and they love it. Since it wasn’t a bright and sunny day, they weren’t getting the light they needed, which meant CO2 just kept rising. I had to give up the experiment as that continued.” the young experimenter said.
15 hours into the experiment, Baute reached the set danger point and then ended this experiment. Still, he called the experiment a “huge success” as his main goal was actually the terrible effects of climate change and CO2 emissions. “The conclusion about my experiment is that if CO2 is too high, I’ll escape, which is just everyday experiences for many people on this planet. Everyone deserves clean air, but not everyone has it,” he wrote.
【1】Why did Kurtis Baute stay in the tent for only 15 hours?
A.The tent is too small for him to stay too long.
B.The environment in the tent is dangerous for him.
C.CO2 in the tent couldn’t be changed into oxygen.
D.He couldn’t survive in the locked tent any longer.
【2】What made it hard for the 200 plants to satisfy Kurtis Baute’s needs?
A.His health condition.
B.His wrong decision.
C.Too much CO2.
D.The cloudy weather.
【3】What does Kurtis think of the result of the experiment?
A.Disappointing.
B.Surprising.
C.Satisfying.
D.Interesting.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.A test to show the importance of clean air
B.Surviving in the tent
C.The set danger point
D.Making people know the use of plants
