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（社区）, 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!‎ ‎8. 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 ‎9. 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.‎ ‎10. 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 ‎11. 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 D Last Saturday on the way to the shopping center, two children, a boy and a girl, came running towards me with bottles on their hands, asking if I wanted bottled water. It was a surprising gesture. I was wondering ‎ if they were doing fund-raising(筹集资金). I knelt and asked them where their parents were and how much a bottle of water cost. Then two adult women came up to me explaining what the children were doing. “We are teaching the children to give without anything in return. We are teaching people to accept without giving in return. ” Two mothers had bought bottled water and placed a sticker(小贴纸)on all bottles with five different quotes(引述):[] 1. Smile at everyone. You’ll never know when someone may need it. 2. If Plan A does not work, there are 25 more letters in the alphabets. 3. Have a thirst for life. Every day is filled with possibilities. 4. In your thirst for knowledge, be sure you don’t drown（淹没）in all the information. 5. Dig your well before you’re thirsty. The bottle I have has quoted No.5. A sudden change of attitude opened up between me, the mothers and the children. We are no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time chatting and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water. One young lady was so thankful that she happily accepted the water and said it was the best thing that happened to her all day since she had a bad day at work. A man refused and walked away saying “No, thanks”. A couple kept on bowing to us in gratitude. When it was all done, the children and I were giving each other high-five. It was so much fun. I think I had more fun doing this than the mothers and the children. 12. How did the author feel when he was offered bottled water?‎ A. Embarrassed B. Surprised C. Excited D. Disappointed ‎13. Different quotes were placed on the bottles to ________.‎ A. inspire others to think positively.‎ B. show how rich and colorful our life is.‎ C. encourage people to get more bottled water.‎ D. explain why at times abandonment（放弃）is necessary facing trouble.‎ ‎14. What did the author do after chatting with them?‎ A. Bought the rest of the bottled water. B. Gave away some money for charity.‎ C. Decided to meet with them regularly. D. Joined them in being kind to strangers.‎ ‎15. What do we know from the last paragraph?[]‎ A. Children had more fun doing this than adults.‎ B. This random(随机的) act of kindness is warmly welcomed.‎ C. People responded quite differently to this activity.‎ D. The author learned a lot from this random act of kindness.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 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。‎ Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better. 16 Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed.‎ Find the right place to study.‎ The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying. 17 You should keep away from television sets and phone calls.
