Latin American Festival.BLearning a second language is tricky at any age (and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open that dusty French book). Now, in a new study, scientists have pinpointed

9、 the exact age at which your chances of reading fluency in a second language seems to plummet: 10.The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that its “nearly impossible” for language learners to reach native - level fluency if they start learning a second tongue after 10. But that doesnt s

10、eem to be because language skills go downhill. “It turns out youre still learning fast. Its just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old,” says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College.Kids

11、may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Childrens brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning theyre better able to adapt and respond to new information. “All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and childrens brains seem to be a lot more s

12、killed at changing.”Kids may also be more willing to try new things (and to potentially look foolish in the process) than adults are. Their comparatively new grasp on their native tongue may also be advantageous. Unlike adults who tend to default（默认）to the rules and patterns of their first language,

13、 kids may be able to approach a new one with a blank slate（石板）.These findings may seems discouraging, but it was heartening for scientists to learn that the critical period for fluent language acquisition might be longer than they previously thought. Some scientists believed that the brief window cl

14、oses shortly after birth, while others stretched it only to early adolescence. Compared to those estimates, 17 or 18 - when language learning ability starts to drop off - seems relatively old. “People fared better when thy learned by immersion（沉浸）, rather than simply in a classroom. And moving to a

15、place where our desired language is spoken is the best way to learn as an adult. If thats not an option, you can mimic an immersive environment by finding ways to have conversations with native speakers in their own communities,” Hartshorne says. By doing so, its possible to become conversationally

16、proficient - even without the advantage of a childs brain.24. The word “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_”.A. plungeB. riseC. endD. vary25. What can be inferred from Joshua Hartshornes words?A. Age 10 -18 is the best time to learn a second language.B. Children are too young to gras

17、p a second language.C. Communicating with native speakers enables you to master all the language skills.D. Adults go beyond the critical period for learning a second language.26. What might be the reason why adults cant reach native - level fluency in a second language?A. Adults are less influenced

18、by their mother tonguesB. Adults are only too willing to experience something awkward in the process.C. Adults spend more time responding to new information.D. Adults prefer an immersive environment to a classroom in learning a second language.27. The passage is mainly about_.A. the approaches to le

19、arning a second language B. the best age to learn a second language.C. why kids learn a second language more easily than adultsD. whether adults can learn a second language like their younger selvesCIm 47 years old. Two days ago, you sent me an email, which I did not answer. I didnt answer it, in pa

20、rt, because I am 47 years old.I almost answered your email after bedtime, which is when I have often answered emails. My laptop was put on my bedside table. My husband sat on his side of the bed, and he leaned back and asked me if Id given any thought to whether the chickens would need to be kept aw

21、ay from the apple trees after he sprayed them with something to keep the bugs away.We moved on to the childrens math grades, then to the way they just take their socks off and leave them, inside out, no matter where they are. I looked at the clock and saw that it was not as early as Id thought, not

22、for a lot of things, and so we turned off the light, and I did not answer your email.Your email sat among emails from bosses and editors and orthodontists all through the next workday. My children were at school, and I had not yet managed to write 300 words nine more times. I thought about answering

23、 your email in the afternoon, while my older daughter and I waited outside the school for her sister to finish a piano lesson. My daughter probably would not have minded. She is almost 13, and sometimes, when she sits in the house texting while I try to talk to her, I sprayed her with the bottle I k

24、eep on the counter to spray the cats when they start scratching the back of the sofa. I could have answered your email then. I admit it. We could have sat there, in peaceful silence, each staring at our phone. I had time to answer your email, and I did not.I snuggled(依偎) my youngest son at bedtime t

25、hat night, because he asked. I snuggled him even though your email was calling, and some part of me wanted to pull away from the tedium of bedtime and reply. Replying would have felt fresh and new, while bedtime felt old and stale. I would like to say I snuggled my son and did not give your email on

26、e single thought, but that would not be true, and it would also be rude, even though it is a state of mind to which many of us aspire. Instead, I hovered(悬停) somewhere between presence in the bedtime moment and awareness of your email and many others. I spend a lot of time in that gap, sometimes dra

27、fting mental responses to emails, which I am later surprised and sad to find I have not actually sent.It is possible that I will answer your email later, in a few hours, or in a few years, maybe when I am 57, and I will be so happy to have your email. We will trade words, and those words will again

28、seem so real to me, a whole world in my laptop, where I live, sometimes, because there is so much that is attractive in there, where time moves fast and yet never moves at all. I will take my laptop outside and I will sit among the trees, listening for the voices of children who are no longer home,

29、and I will answer your email.It is also possible that I will not that I, in fact, will never answer your email. If that is the case, if the people and the places and the things around me still press upon me with more urgency than your email and so many others, I hope that you will forgive me. I have

30、 already forgiven myself.28. Why does the author mention chickens and the childrens math grades?A. Because daily routines took up most of her time.B. Because she was troubled by many unimportant things.C. Because she was more concerned about her family.D. Because she often put off answering email ti

31、ll bedtime.29. What can be learnt from the authors description of her daughter?A. The author used to answer emails while waiting for her daughter.B. The author would rather play with her daughter than answer emails.C. The author and daughters liked to use their phone alone.D. The author regretted th

32、e time spent on the phone.30. What tone does the author use in answering emails after snuggling her son?A. humor B. embarrassment C. apology D. happiness31. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us?A. Learn to forgive yourself for not answering emails in time.B. The world outside is so attract

33、ive that we should enjoy it now.C. I will surely answer emails without children around. D. Answering emails is a thing of little urgency.DPredictions about higher educations future often result in two very different visions about what is next for colleges and universities. In one camp: those who pai

34、nt a rosy picture of an economy that will continue to demand higher levels of education for an increasing share of the workforce. In the other: those who believe fewer people will enroll（入学）in college as tuition costs go out of control and alternatives to the traditional degree emerge.“We are living

35、 in an age for learning, when theres so much knowledge available, that one would think that this is good news for higher education,” Bryan Alexander told me recently. Alexander writes often about the future of higher education and is finishing a book on the subject for Johns Hopkins University Press

36、. “Yet weve seen enrollment in higher education drop for six years.”Alexander believes that for some colleges and universities to survive, they need to shift from their historical mission of serving one type of student (usually a teenager fresh out of high school) for a specific period of time. “Wer

37、e going to see many different ways through higher education in the future,” Alexander said, “from closer ties between secondary and postsecondary（中学后）schools to new options for adults. The question is, which institutions adopt new models and which try desperately to hang on to what they have.”“The f

38、act is that to maintain affordability, accessibility and excellence, something needs to change,” Rafael Bras, Georgia Techs provost (院长), told me when he unveiled the report at the Milken Institute Global Conference this past spring.The commissions report includes many impressive ideas, but three po

39、int to the possibility of a very different future for colleges and universities.1) College for life, rather than just four years. The primary recommendation of the Georgia Tech report is that the university turns itself into a place for lifelong learning that allows students to “associate rather tha

40、n enroll.”“Students who we educate now are expected to have a dozen occupations,” Bras said. “So a system that receives students once in their lives and turns them out with the Good Housekeeping seal(印章) of approval to become alums (校友) and come back on occasion and give money is not the right model

41、 for the future.”2) A network of advisers and coaches for a career. If education never ends, Georgia Tech predicts, neither should the critical advising function that colleges provide to students. The commission outlines a plan in which artificial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students

42、 about selecting courses and finding the best career options. But even for a university focused on science and technology, Georgia Tech doesnt suggest in its report that computers will replace humans for all advising.3) A distributed presence around the world. Colleges and universities operate campu

43、ses and require students to come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown greatly, but for the most part, higher education is still about face-to-face interactions.Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two worlds are blended in what it calls the “atrium” a place that

44、share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni.In some ways, as the report noted, the atrium idea is a nod to the past, when universities had agricultural and engineering experiment stations with services closer to where people in the state needed them.Whether Geo

45、rgia Techs ideas will become real is, of course, unclear. But as Alexander told me after reading it, “There is a strong emphasis on flexibility and transformation so they can meet emergent trends.” This is clear: colleges and universities are about to undergo a period of deep change whether they wan

46、t to or not as the needs of students and the economy shift.32. What can we learn from the two camps opinions about future colleges?A. Future workforce will have high levels of education.B. The expensive traditional degree is losing its appeal.C. Traditional higher education is not practical.D. Decli

47、ning enrollment in college results from easy learning.33. What should traditional colleges do according to Alexander?A. They should provide new options for adults to enter colleges.B. The should strengthen the ties between secondary and postsecondary schools.C. They should abandon what they have and

48、 change their historical mission.D. They should offer more freedom to students throughout their life.34. What can we infer from the commissions report?A. Students can return for further study or make donations freely after graduation.B. Artificial intelligence and virtual tutors will perform better

49、in career guidance.C. It focuses on how to make people enjoy good education without stress.D. There is no point in requiring students to be present at school.35. The passage mainly talks about _.A. a reflection on the drawbacks of current higher educationB. the key factors which determine higher edu

51、time to find out if more sleep can fight obesity （肥胖）.Nowadays, the most popular method to keep fit is doing more exercise and eating less.
