8、ue 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 developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with

9、 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 learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all,

10、 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(吸收 ) all the words and expressions, which come to him in a f

11、lash, 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 generally shares with others. The child has another advantage

12、 : 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 snow in June or scorching heat in January. And what a

13、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, their relations with him are always close and personal.

14、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 complete mastery of a foreign language. （ A） Right （ B） W

15、rong （ 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 ensures childrens success of learning their mother tong

16、ue. （ 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 in mastering his native language. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong

17、（ 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 mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (

This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. 2 An important thing to

19、 remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨 ) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12 than when kept at 26 . Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most importan

20、t aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉 ). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳

21、), called respiration (呼吸 ), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level o

22、f heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration control

23、led? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are pla

24、ced. Flowers find it difficult to “drink“ water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂 ) can be used in

25、 small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day. A.

28、每题选 1个最佳选项。 30 How Do American Consumers Borrow? Young consumers often have not established their credit ratings. Many do not have steady incomes. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relatives are usually their best source of loans. Of cour

29、se, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interest-free loan. However, a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest as any other lender. There are disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives. One is th

30、at they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time. As a result, you might let the loan drag on. This is especially true if you are not required to pay interest. This is not a way to develop good credit habits. For most consumers, the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial ba

31、nk. Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months or up to 30. Most banks also make single payment loans to consumers for short periods 30, 60, or 90 days. The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply by writing a check. It is usually called something

32、 like “ready credit“ or “reserved checking.“ It works like this. A depositor is given a limited amount of credit, usually between $ 500 and $1, 000. He or she may write checks up to the amount allowed. Once a check has been written, the amount of the check becomes a loan. Usually no charge is made f

33、or interest (利息 ) until the loan is made. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per $100 per day, or just under 1 percent a month. Suppose that you used $100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. If you repaid it in 10 days, the cost would be only 30 cents. The advantage

34、of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lower rates than most other lenders. One reason is that banks have more strict credit requirements than most other lenders. A consumer must have a fairly good credit rating to get a bank loan. 31 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） The new

35、est type of bank loan is simple to get. （ B） Bank loans are more difficult to get. （ C） Banks charge higher interest rates. （ D） Banks offer loans to those having a fairly good credit rating. 32 One of the disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives is that （ A） parents or relatives will as

37、 loans that may run from 30 to 90 days. （ C） single-payment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days. （ D） single-payment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months. 34 “Ready credit“ or “reserved checking“ （ A） is designed to give the depositor a check. （ B） allows the depositor to write a check to pay a

38、ny amount. （ C） allows the depositor to borrow money from a bank by writing a check. （ D） allows the depositor to charge an interest. 35 According to the first paragraph, young people （ A） have difficulty borrowing from their parents or relatives. （ B） cant get an interest-free loan from their paren

40、e especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money. “Ever since I went to college, Ive been traveling around a lot, exploring the country,“ said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year

41、-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous (自发的 ). “On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore.

42、“ Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. “With road trips you dont have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive.“ Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round

43、 trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities. By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US inters

44、tate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier. Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census. Though many college students

45、dont own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins trips, they used a borrowed van. Hawkins most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They cros

46、sed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots. Roberts road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the 250 cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles u

47、ntil they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage. “I know we should have planned better, but were young. Now, when I see those guys I always say.
