8、ow does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通 ) of the language. A grown-up person with fully
9、 developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command(掌握 ). What accounts for this difference? Despite 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 l
10、earning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. He drinks in(吸引 )
11、all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling(冒泡的 ) spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation. Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he genera
12、lly shares with others. The child has another advantage : he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as it is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and
13、 snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled. Finally, though a childs “teachers“ may not have been trained in language teaching, t
14、heir relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy. 16 Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 Adults knowledge and mental powers hinder their co
15、mplete mastery of a foreign language. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 The reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 Plenty of practice in listening during the first years of life partly
16、ensures childrens success of learning their mother tongue. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 A child learning his native language has the advantage of having private lessons all the year round. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Gestures and facial expressions may assist a child i
17、n mastering his native language. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 So far as language teaching is concerned, the teachers close personal relationship with the student is more important than the professional language teaching training he has received. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentione

Transport is one of the aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds
19、to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 2. The great advances made in transport during the last
20、two hundred years were accompanied by a big in crease in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the g
21、lobal. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food c
22、ould be brought from a distance. 3. Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally, Food
23、s, which at one time could be obtained (获得 ) only during a part of the year, can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living. 4. By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, as, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of in
24、dustries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance ove
25、r which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 5. Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send information about pr
26、ices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade. A. Higher Living Standard B.

Its size is matched by its variety. Differences in American schools compared with those found in the major
30、ity of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone not just for a privileged(享有特权的 ) elite(精英 ). Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more t
31、han academic subjects.

32、la depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic(公民的 )and community consciousness.

33、nt role in creating national unity and “Americanizing“ the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns. The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not
34、only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries
35、, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research wei1, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation (积聚 ) of facts. This
36、is Americas answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time: “How can one prepare todays child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?“ 31 Which of the following best states the goal of American education?
37、（ A） To teach every learner some practical skills. （ B） To provide every learner with rich knowledge. （ C） To give every student the opportunity to fully develop his/her ability. （ D） To train every student to be a responsible citizen. 32 It is implied in the passage that （ A） all high-school studen
38、ts take the same courses. （ B） every high-school student must take some practical ability training courses. （ C） every public school offers the same academic subjects. （ D） the subjects every student takes may vary. 33 American schools place great emphasis on the learners （ A） enrichment of knowledg

40、om foreign countries. （ D） the immigrants. 35 Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries? （ A） The large number of its schools. （ B） The variety of the courses offered in its schools. （ C） Its special consideration g
41、iven to immigrants. （ D） Its underlying goal to develop every childs abilities to the fullest extent. 35 Pushbike Peril Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure or even kill children if they fall onto the ends of the handlebars (车把 ) so a team of engineers is redesigning the humble handlebar in a
42、bid to make it safer. Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues after a study of serious abdominal(腹部的 ) injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were caused by bicycle accidents. “th
43、e task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures(对策 ). “ she says. By interviewing the children and their parents, Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct(重建 ; 重构 ) many of the accidents and identified a common mechanism responsible for serious injures. T
44、hey discovered that most occur when children hit an obstacle at a slow speed, causing them to topple over. To maintain their balance they turn the handlebars through 90 degrees but their momentum (冲力 ) forces them into the end of the handlebars The bike then falls over and the other end of the handl
45、ebars hits the ground, ramming it into their abdomen. The solution the group came up with is a handgrip(握柄 ) fitted with a spring and damping(制动的 ; 减速的，缓冲的 ) system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact, The group hopes to commercialize(使
46、商品化 ) the device, which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturer were unaware of the problem,“ says Arbogast. The team has also approached the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade manuf
47、acturers to adopt the new design. A decision is expected later this year. 36 According to the passage, some engineers are trying to improve the handlebars because （ A） they are not noble enough. （ B） they may kill children. （ C） they are likely to crash. （ D） they make the bike move at a low speed.

49、 began the project. 38 Paragraph 3 mainly discusses （ A） why the children and their parents were interviewed. （ B） when the children tom the handlebars through 90 degrees. （ C） what causes the children to topple over. （ D） how serious injuries occur. 39 The passage implies that （ A） it is not easy to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design. （ B） the team of engineers has not found any countermeasures. （ C） children like to ride bicycles at a very low speed. （ D） a lot of
