Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

Children and adults learn new languages in different ways．For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand，are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults seldom get the chance to practice as much as young children do.

Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

Research has shown that children who learn a new language when they are very young will not be likely to have a “foreign” accent when speaking a different language. Some scientists also believe that it can take up to 10,000 hours of study to master a new language. This can be difficult for adults to achieve, but young children can accumulate(积累) those hours over several years as they grow up.

When young children learn a new language, they come to see multiple languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset (思维模式) helps them learn a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.

So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!

1.By “language is their life”, the author means that children ________.

A. can’t live without language

B. lead a happy life every day

C. practice a new language a lot

D. are good at speaking language

2.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language?

A. They usually have too many interests.

B. They are afraid of being laughed at.

C. They think making mistakes is natural.

D. They always make all kinds of mistakes.

3.According to the author, a new language ________.

A. can be grasped by the old people easily

B. can never be learned by the old people

C. can be learned by both the old and the young

D. is an important skill for the old people

4.The author develops this passage by ________.

A. making several comparisons(对比)

B. presenting research findings

C. offering some typical examples

D. telling some interesting stories

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 1. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

2. Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

3. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: 4. If you want too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online. 5.

Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.

Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.

A. Start simply.

B. Break it into small pieces.

C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

D. Many websites are considered very interesting.

E. Before you start building your site, do some planning.

F. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.

G. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.

One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe（津巴布韦）, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.

The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.

1.El Nino is known as ________.

A. the changing of the weather in southern Africa

B. the weather which brings drought (旱灾) to Africa

C. the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean

D. the weather phenomenon that brings heavy rains to Africa

2.Scientists study El Nino in order that ________.

A. they can put all this information into their computers

B. they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain

C. they can do some research work in this field

D. they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.

B. Three scientists from the USA work on this subject.

C. El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe’s poor crops.

D. Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.

Dear Xiao Ming,

I am delighting to learn that you are going to visit to me during the week-long vacation. Both my parent will also be very happy to see you, but I’m sure you will enjoy every minute here.

I know you are fond of swimming. We can go swimming in the river, that lies not far away from my home. I think this will be very pleasant to swim in such hot summer days. In every big room of my home there is air-conditioner. You can watch TV, play CDs or read books very comfortable at home. About two miles away from my home stood a mountain which is really worth toured. When we climb to the top of the mountain, we can have a wonderful view of the whole village.

Yours,

Zhang Ying
