Newborns begin to develop language skills long before they begin speaking. And, compared to adults, they develop these skills more quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but babies have the ability to learn any language easily.
For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn the complicated grammatical rules and sounds of a language. Now, researchers are getting a better idea of what’s happening in the brains of the tiniest language learners. This new information might help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like people do.
Most babies go “ma ma” by 6 months of age, and most children speak in full sentences by age 3. For many years, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With help from new technologies, scientists are now finding that babies begin life with the ability to learn any language. They get into contact with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear most often.
Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world. Starting at around 6 months old a baby’s brain focuses on the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most.
In a similar way older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. For example, English children who are about 18 months old start to figure out that words ending in “-ing” or “-ed” are usually verbs, and that verbs are action words.
1.The new research in the second paragraph can be helpful in _____.
A. finding successful language learners
B. teaching kids with learning problems
C. designing human-shaped computers
D. improving babies’ language ability
2.The researchers found out that babies learn a language mainly by _____.
A. repeating the words of other people
B. remembering the full sentences they hear
C. hearing and closely watching others speak
D. figuring out the meaning of different sounds
3.The purpose of the text is to _____.
A. discuss
B. educate
C. inform
D. entertain

【四川省凉山州高中毕业班第二次诊断性】D
One hot summer I was traveling down the freeway on a day trip to Los Angeles. During my journey down the highway, another motorist suddenly started cutting into my lane. Being in the far right lane, my car was forced onto the shoulder of the road. Being an experienced driver, I steered my car back onto the highway, the motorist drove away without saying anything.
While I wasn’t very happy with the person for cutting in front of me, I decided to consider it an honest mistake—a lack of attention to the lane change or a driver lost in thought. It certainly could not have been done on purpose. The car sped away after cutting in front of me and was soon out of sight.
After a while, I caught up with the same motorist on the side of the road. He was an elderly gentleman who was walking along the side of the freeway on this hot day. With his car stopped on the side of the road and the nearest services at least twenty miles away, I decided to stop and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire, and while he had a spare tire, he didn’t have a jack. I decided to help him and allowed him to sit in my air–conditioned car while I changed his tire. Fifteen minutes later, I was hot, sweaty and dirty, but I did feel good after doing something for someone.
1.Which of the following word can best describe the author?
A. Bad-tempered. B. Humorous. C. Hard-working. D. Kind-hearted.
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that the _______.
A. motorist didn’t pay any attention to the lane change
B. motorist was lost in thought while he was driving
C. motorist cut in front of the author on purpose
D. author forgave the motorist
3.Why did the motorist stop his car on the side of the road? Because_______.
A. he got lost B. his car had a flat tire
C. he wanted to have a rest D. he wanted to travel with the author
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. An act of kindness can make you feel good.
