    Successful Language Learners

    1.Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary,master rules or grammar,and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others.They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others,so what makes language learning so much easier for them?Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners,we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
    2.First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher;they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.When they guess wrong,they guess again.They try to learn from mistakes.
    3.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to com-municate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
    4.Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
    5.What kind of language learner are you?If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully.On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.

    Paragraph 3_________.

    From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future 3 and cultural growth increased. Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language. They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us 6 an innate language ability not found in lower 7 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development. Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed. 16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 17 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones. 请在8处填上正确答案（）

    单选题
    Why is a woman better at learning foreign languages than a man?
    A

    The area of the left side of a woman’s brain for language learning develops better than that of a man’s.

    B

    The right side of a woman’s brain for language develops better than that of a man’s.

    C

    The area of the left side of a woman’s brain for feelings develops better than that of a man’s.

    D

    The area of the right side of a woman’s brain fit for seeing in the dark develops better than that of a man’s.


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    由题干中关键词learning foreign languages对原文进行定位。根据文章可知人类左半脑发展数学、言语、阅读等，“In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. (男女左右半脑不同区域发展情况不同。)，而后对此进行举例“In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics；and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better”（男孩数学区域发展较好，女孩语言区域发展较好)。这里需要注意例子中比较级的使用。由此可知，女孩子左半脑掌管语言的区域要比男孩子的发展的好。所以A项是正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    　　Do you believe that men and women think differently? Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking.
    　　In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women and they all got the same conclusion：men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys.
    　　What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc, while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics；and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limited Scientists think this affects some of our abilities.
