When we compare them with adults learning a foreig

8、n language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command. What accounts for this difference?De

9、spite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behavior of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning ti

10、ll night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the fight pronunciation, fight intonation, right use of words and fight structure.

Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attemp

The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. but in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (

19、性别歧视的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.2 Hurricanes and typhoons (台风) are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning “big wind“. And if they are Pacific storms, they a

20、re called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning “great wind“. To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.3 Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All wa

21、ter vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道). To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region.4 Scientists have determined that the heat given out in th

The problem is that we dont know how to make sure such great energy work for us.5 Predicting the path of

23、a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的) if you live in a coastal area that may be hi

24、t.6 The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death.

30、me settle down in Rio. “ said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several years. For many Brazilians, the centerpiece of the carnival is samba (桑巴舞) , a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the street

31、s, following the beat (节拍) of the Latin music.The climax to this street party is the float(彩车) parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is c

32、hosen at the end of the party.While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations. Rios police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crime

33、s that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honor of the citys founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so despite the troubles, the carnival

38、rket. A total of 23,000 cars rolled out of the factory in 1999This year, Shanghai GM Buick aims to produce 50,000 cars.It is interesting to review the long negotiations with the Chinese government to set up Shanghai GM Buick. The biggest issue was who would supply the car parts and how the parts wou

39、ld get from the factory to the Buick plant.A car is made up of more than 30,000 parts. Parts manufacturers in China dont have the technological know-how to make all the necessary parts. Therefore, at the beginning, about half the necessary parts will be shipped to Shanghai from North America. These

40、parts are made at GMs Tillsonburg Ontario facility. The trains carry the parts over 3,000 miles to the Port of Vancouver. From Vancouver, the parts are shipped to Shanghai. All told, the door-to-door delivery time is 17 days. But there may be a 42-day delay between steel plates leaving the steel wor

41、ks in America and arriving in Shanghai. To prevent the long-distance shipping and delay, Shanghai GM Buick has asked Shanghai Baoshan steelworks to produce plates of similar quality.“Imported car parts are our biggest headache,“ says Jay Hunt. “local suppliers are very responsive. “ To our surprise,

42、 however, the cost of localized production is much higher than buying from overseas. The reason is that although labor costs are low in China, wages comprise only 20% of the cost of producing car parts. Small-scale production in China makes production costs very high. The deputy general manager, Lau

43、rence Zahner said, “Only if the price of domestic parts drops 30% shall we be able to qualify for the international market. “Thankfully, a solution has appeared. Foreign car parts makers are coming to the Yangtse River Delta to set up joint ventures. Shanghai GM Buick will depend on those parts make

44、rs for car parts. Perhaps the Buick plant will not worry about the agreement with the Chinese partner any longer. The agreement says that in the first year of production, the Buick plant must have 42% of locally made parts, and in the second year, the locally made parts rise to 60%, and in the third

45、 year, 80%.（分数：15.00）(1).What was the biggest issue in the negotiation between the Chinese government and General Motors?（分数：3.00）A.Annual production of cars.B.The location of Shanghai GM Buick.C.Car parts and their shipment.D.The price of domestic car parts.(2).How many car parts is a car made up o

49、till, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussion of poetry are, in fact, preparations for it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation“ of it, suggesting to
