It is not only a great way to improve reading skills but also has a positive impact on memory, concentration, and language development.B) One of the main benefits of reading aloud is that it helps improve reading fluency. When we read aloud, we are forced to slow down and pay more attention to the words, which helps us become more familiar with the text. This, in turn, improves our reading speed and accuracy over time.C) Reading aloud also has a significant impact on memory. When we read something aloud, we engage more of our senses, including our ears and our vocal cords. This multisensory approach helps to encode the information more deeply in our memory, making it easier to recall later.D) Another advantage of reading aloud is that it can improve concentration. In a world full of distractions, reading aloud requires us to focus on the text in front of us. By blocking out other distractions and concentrating on the words, we are training our minds to stay focused for longer periods of time.E) Reading aloud is also beneficial for language development. It helps us to improve our pronunciation, intonation, and vocabulary. When we read aloud, we can hear how words are pronounced correctly, and we can also learn new words and their meanings in context.F) For children, reading aloud is especially important. It is a great way to introduce them to the joys of reading and to help them develop a love for books. Reading aloud to children also helps to improve their language skills, as they are exposed to new words and sentence structures at an early age.G) In addition to the above benefits, reading aloud can also be a formof stress relief. It allows us to relax and unwind while engaging in a simple and enjoyable activity.H) To get the most out of reading aloud, it is important to choose the right material. For example, if you are trying to improve your language skills, you may want to choose a book or article that is slightly aboveyour current reading level. If you are looking for stress relief, you may prefer something more light - hearted and relaxing.I) It is also important to read aloud regularly. Just like any other skill, the more you practice reading aloud, the better you will become. Try to set aside a specific time each day for reading aloud, whether it is in the morning, during your lunch break, or in the evening.J) In conclusion, reading aloud is a simple yet powerful activity that has many benefits. Whether you are looking to improve your reading skills, boost your memory, increase your concentration, or just relax, readingaloud is definitely worth trying.36.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1.In recent years, the sharing economy has emerged as a new economic model. It refers to the economic activities in which people share theiridle resources, such as cars, houses, and skills, through online platforms. The sharing economy has brought many benefits to both individuals and society.For individuals, the sharing economy provides an opportunity to earn extra income. For example, if you have a spare room in your house, you can rent it out on a sharing - economy platform and earn some money. Also, the sharing economy allows people to access resources more cheaply. For instance, instead of buying a car, you can use a car - sharing service, which can save you a lot of money.For society, the sharing economy can make more efficient use of resources. By sharing idle resources, we can reduce waste and save energy. For example, if more people use car - sharing services, the number of cars on the road will be reduced, which can relieve traffic congestion and reduce air pollution.However, the sharing economy also faces some challenges. One of the main challenges is the lack of regulation. Since the sharing economy is a relatively new phenomenon, there are no clear regulations in many areas. This can lead to problems such as safety risks and unfair competition. Another challenge is the issue of trust. Since people are sharing resources with strangers, they need to trust the platform and the other users. If there is a lack of trust, the sharing economy will not be able to develop smoothly.46. What is the sharing economy?A) It is an economic model in which people buy and sell idle resources.B) It is an economic model in which people share their idle resources through online platforms.C) It is an economic model in which people rent out their houses only.D) It is an economic model in which people share their skills only.47. What are the benefits of the sharing economy for individuals?A) It allows them to earn extra income and access resources more cheaply.B) It only allows them to earn extra income.C) It only allows them to access resources more cheaply.D) It allows them to make more friends.48. What are the benefits of the sharing economy for society?A) It can make more efficient use of resources, reduce waste and save energy.B) It can only make more efficient use of resources.C) It can only reduce waste.D) It can only save energy.49. What are the challenges faced by the sharing economy?A) The lack of regulation and the issue of trust.B) Only the lack of regulation.C) Only the issue of trust.D) The high cost of operation.50. If more people use car - sharing services, what can be achieved?A) The number of cars on the road will be reduced, traffic congestion will be relieved and air pollution will be reduced.B) Only the number of cars on the road will be reduced.C) Only traffic congestion will be relieved.D) Only air pollution will be reduced.Passage 2.The concept of "lifelong learning" has become increasingly important in modern society. Lifelong learning refers to the continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills throughout one's life. It is not limited to formal education in schools or universities but also includes self - study, on - the - job training, and participation in various learning activities.There are several reasons why lifelong learning is important. First, in a rapidly changing world, knowledge and skills become obsolete quickly. Forexample, with the development of technology, many jobs that required manual labor in the past are now being replaced by machines. Therefore, peopleneed to keep learning new skills to adapt to the changing job market.Second, lifelong learning can improve people's quality of life.Learning new things can expand our horizons, increase our creativity, and give us a sense of accomplishment. For example, learning a new language can enable us to communicate with more people and understand different cultures.Finally, lifelong learning is also beneficial for society as a whole. A society in which people are constantly learning is more innovative and competitive. It can also promote social harmony and development.However, there are also some barriers to lifelong learning. One of the main barriers is the lack of time. Many people are busy with their work and family responsibilities and find it difficult to find time for learning. Another barrier is the cost. Some learning activities, such as taking courses at a university or attending professional training, can be expensive.51. What is lifelong learning?A) It is the continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills throughout one's life, including formal education, self - study, on - the - job training, etc.B) It is only the formal education in schools or universities.C) It is only self - study.D) It is only on - the - job training.52. Why is lifelong learning important?A) Because knowledge and skills become obsolete quickly, it can improve people's quality of life and it is beneficial for society as a whole.B) Only because knowledge and skills become obsolete quickly.C) Only because it can improve people's quality of life.D) Only because it is beneficial for society as a whole.53. What can learning a new language do?A) It can enable us to communicate with more people and understand different cultures.B) Only it can enable us to communicate with more people.C) Only it can.。

Have fun and enjoy your language learning adventure!Yours sincerely,[Your Name]篇6How to Improve Your Chinese Listening SkillsHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a 10-year-old student who loves learning Chinese. I know it can be really hard to understand when people are speaking Chinese, especially if you're just starting to learn the language. But don't worry, I've got some tips that have helped me a lot with improving my Chinese listening skills.The first thing I always tell my friends is that practice makes perfect. The more you listen to Chinese, the easier it will become to understand. It's kind of like when you first start learning to ride a bike – it feels really wobbly and strange at first, but themore you practice, the better you get at balancing and pedaling. The same goes for listening to Chinese!One way to get more practice is to watch Chinese cartoons, movies, or TV shows. I really like watching Chinese animated movies because the characters usually speak slowly and clearly. My favorite is "Ne Zha" – it's a really cool story about a kid with special powers. Whenever I watch it, I try to listen carefully to the words and phrases they use. If there's something I don't understand, I'll pause the movie and look it up in my dictionary.You can also listen to Chinese music! There are so many great Chinese singers and bands out there. I personally love the Chinese pop group "THE9" – their songs are super catchy and fun to sing along to. Even if you can't understand all the words at first, just listening to the rhythms and sounds of the language can help train your ear.Another tip is to find a Chinese language partner to practice with. This could be a classmate who is also learning Chinese, or maybe an older student or even a teacher who is a native speaker. Having conversations in Chinese, even if they're basic at first, is amazing practice for your listening comprehension. Don't be afraid to ask them to slow down or repeat things if you get stuck!If you're feeling really stuck on a particular word or phrase, you can also look for videos or audio clips that focus specifically on that vocabulary. There are lots of great resources online for Chinese learners, with conversations or dialogues that break things down slowly. Listening to the same dialogue over and over can really help cement those words and patterns in your brain.Another fun way to practice is by listening to Chinese podcasts or audio books. There are some great ones out there designed specifically for language learners, with hosts who speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Podcasts on topics you're interested in, like sports, music, or video games, can make listening practice feel more like entertainment than studying.My last tip is to stick with it and be patient with yourself. Learning to listen in a new language is hard work, but it gets easier over time. There will be days when you feel like you can't understand anything, and that's okay! Just keep exposing yourself to spoken Chinese as much as possible. Before you know it, words and phrases that used to sound like gibberish will start to have meaning.I still have so much more to learn when it comes to listening in Chinese, but I've already improved so much by following thesestrategies. Having strong listening skills will help you in all areas of language learning, from conversations to reading comprehension. So keep practicing, be kind to yourself, and remember –you've got this!

C.Snow和M.Hoefnagel-hohle(1978)也对临界 期假说进行了深入的研究。根据临界期假说， 第一语言习得必须在大脑单侧化完成之前进行， 而第二语言习得在青春期之前会相对快些，成 功些，且在质量上与第一语言相似。 她们以不同年龄的、母语为英语的荷兰语习得 者作为实验对象，对他们在自然环境中的语言 习得进行纵向研究。发现12-15岁的实验对象 和成人实验对象在学习荷兰语的最初几个月进 步最快，而在学习一年以后，8-10岁、12-15 岁的研究对象荷兰语掌握的最好，3-5岁的儿 童在所有的测试中成绩最差。 研究表明，根本不存在什么临界期。
Age and Language
年龄与第二语言习得
我国改革开放形势不断发展 , 与国外的交往日益增多，在这种形势下我国 的外语教育事业也得到了空前的发展。越来越多的不同年龄阶段的人在学习 外语（主要是英语）。
而年龄是影响第二语言 ( 兼指外语) 习得效果个体差异的重要因素之一 。 许多心理学家 、应用语言学家和教育家十分关注年龄对二语习得的影响 , 他们用大量的时间从不同的角度 , 选择不同的对象研究年龄和第二语言习 得的关系 , 但研究的结果并不一致 ,甚至产生了一些相互矛盾的结论 。

二 年龄变化在第二 语言习得中的差异
Larwen Freeman ( 1991 年) 等认为 , 虽然对年龄在二语学习得中作用的 解释存在差异 , 但至少有 4种主要的原因是一致的 : 1. 社会心理上的解释 。 成年人与儿童之间存在差异 ,例如成人可能更加压抑 ,他们更愿确立讲 某种语言而显示的身份 。因此 ,他们可能在某种程度上抵制社会化 ; 而这恰恰是儿童学习一种语言的结果 。有时 ,成人为了区分自己作为 某一特定母语的使用者 ,故意说带有母语口音的第二语言 。 2. 认知理论上的解释 。 Krashen ( 1982 年 ) 认为 ,认知的发展对第二语言的习得有滞定的影 响 。儿童和成人的第二语言习得涉及不同的过程 。前者主要引用语言习 得机制 , 如同习得第一语言一样习得第二语言 : 而后者除“自然”习得 语言外 ,还侧重于有意识地学习语言规则 。 3. 输入上的解释 。 年轻的学习者比成人收到更好的输入 , 这将为他们学习句法提供更好 的素材 。年轻也更善于利用与本族同年人交流的机会 , 通过这些交流 , 他们能进行语音的练习 。 4. 神经上的解释 。 首先 , 大脑的两半球在青春期左右变得功能专门化 , 即大脑侧化 。 在关键期之间 ,大脑更加有弹性 。如果大脑的一侧功能受到损伤 ,该功能 或能转移至大脑子的另一侧 。其次 ,二语习得的能力随着神经的弹性丧失 而衰退 。

M.Patkowski也赞成敏感期的说法。他对67个在不同年龄来美国 并开始学习英语五年以上的移民情况进行了研究。提出了习得第 二语言的最佳年龄。这个年龄是在学习者有较高的认识能力水平、 且仍然能够运用语言习得体系的时候。这个年龄区域大约在青春 期这一关键时期之前，即12-15岁左右。

Hoef nagle - Hohle ( 1978 年) 对三组母语是 英语的人( 儿童 、青少年和成人) 在自然环境下 习得荷兰语的人进行了 10 个月的调查 。 调查结果发现 : 在荷兰居住 3 个月之后 ,成人 和青少年的测试成绩明显高过儿童 ; 在词汇和句 法方面 , 青少年做得最好 , 成人次之 , 儿童最 差 ; 在语音方面没有很大的差别 。 但在10 个月之后 ,儿童在各种测试中都赶上其他 两组 。
C.Snow和M.Hoefnagel-hohle(1978)也对临界 期假说进行了深入的研究。根据临界期假说， 第一语言习得必须在大脑单侧化完成之前进行， 而第二语言习得在青春期之前会相对快些，成 功些，且在质量上与第一语言相似。 她们以不同年龄的、母语为英语的荷兰语习得 者作为实验对象，对他们在自然环境中的语言 习得进行纵向研究。发现12-15岁的实验对象 和成人实验对象在学习荷兰语的最初几个月进 步最快，而在学习一年以后，8-10岁、12-15 岁的研究对象荷兰语掌握的最好，3-5岁的儿 童在所有的测试中成绩最差。 研究表明，根本不存在什么临界期。
Ellis ( 1994 年) 的解释还包括以下两 点 : 其一 ,感觉的灵敏度不同 。成人学习语言 的能力随着感知和切分第二语言声音能力 的减弱而衰退。
其二 ,信息储存的方式不同 。儿童分隔地 储存第一与第二语言信息 ( 并存的双 语 ) , 成人混合地储存第一语言和第二语 言的信息 ( 合成的双语) 。
成年 ( 18 岁以上)
缺点是他们没有足够的学习时间 ,事物 繁多 , 不能专一 , 学习的连续性常受 到影响 。在建立标准的外语发音模式 上常遇到难以克服的困难 ,在吸收和运 用日常交际言语并使之直接发展为交际 能力方面显著地比儿童差 。
成年人大脑神经联系已完全建立起来 , 思维方式已经完 善 ,原语言意识比儿童强 ,因而能非常容易地处理复杂 的深层的语言形式和内容 , 在掌握外语阅读 、写作等 方面占绝对优势 。成年人学习目的明确 , 学习动力充 足 , 知识经验丰富 , 理解能力及联想记忆能力比较强 ; 成年人在学习外语开始时运用母语和监控知识可能使他 们在最初阶段比儿童学得快 。
敏感期
Sensitive Period
S.Oyama(1978)的实验对象是意大利出生后移居美国的男性移民， 这些人一到美国就开始学习英语，在14-37岁的实验对象中，有 的上（过）大学，甚至研究生院，年龄小一点的也是大学预考生， 约三分之一是在6-10岁到美国，其余的在16-20岁到美国，其中 一半人在美国居住了5-11年，其余则长达12-20年。研究结果， 无论在口头运用方面还是在听力理解方面都有较大的年龄效应。 11岁以前开始学英语的实验对象听力成绩和本族语者相似，而后 来者则差些，16岁以后到美国者成绩明显低于本族语者。 研究表明，如果第二语言接触的早，习得者的分析、综合和运用 目的语的能力就强些，后开始习得者不管他们在日常生活中多么 有效的使用第二语言，一开口便表明不如早学者地道。
Lenneberg 把儿童和成人在语言学习上表现出的差异归因 于神经生理现象 , 他认为青春期开始之后 ,母语口音难以 改变 , 学习语言必须花费大力气 ,且成人的外语不可能学 得像母语那样好 。他们的调查对象是 3 - 39 岁时到达目 的语国家者 。结果发现 ,处于青春期之前的学习者在句法 知识测试中取得的成绩与抵达目的国时的年龄呈线性相关 , 处于并且青春期之后的学习者一般得分较低 , 且与抵达的 国的年龄没有关系 。
那么，究竟哪个年龄阶段学习外语最好 ? 外语学习是否有临界期 ? 是否过了这一时期就难以学好外语 ? 儿童学习外语比少年和成人学习外语真的占有绝对优势吗 ?
一 年龄与第二 语言习得的关系
说明儿童比成人习得语言快且 成功的著名解释是语言习得有
“临界期”
Critical Period
语言习得临界期假说 ( critical period hypothesis ,又译为 关键期) 的概念来源于生物学 , 它是指个体发展过程中环境影 响能起最大作用的时期 。 Lenneberg( 1967) 首先提出了语言习得临界期的概念。他认为 , 从两岁到青春期 ( Pubetty) 到来之前 , 人的大脑具有可塑性 。 青春期之前的儿童,若大脑左半球的语言区因意外事故或手术受 到伤害 , 语言功能还会从左脑移到右脑得到恢复 。到了青春期 之后 , 人的大脑语言功能侧化已经完成 ,并固定在大脑的左侧 , 此时语言功能一旦丧失 ,将难恢复 。 语言学家对一些地方发现的“狼孩” 猪孩” 特别是美国洛杉矶 “都市野孩”基尼 ,进行跟踪调查后发现 , 人们在找到他们后 不论采取什么方式教他们学习语言 , 他们的语言能力都达不到 在正常环境下成长起来的孩子的水平 。这常用来解释在人脑单 侧化形成后 , 人学习语言的能力明显降低。
Oyama ( 1976 年 ) 对60 个不同年龄时来到美国的意大利 移民进行过调查 ,这些人的年龄在 6 - 20 岁之间 ,在美 国生活了 5- 18 年不等 。 调查结果显示 ,12 岁之前来到美国的人语言能力更接近美 国人 。抵达目的国时的年龄对二语习得起明显的影响 , 而在美居住时间的长短却没有重要关系 。
最近 Christine Weber - Fox 和 Helen Neville 用一种行为主义和电生理学相结合的方 法来检验年龄是否起限制作用以及如何起作用等 问题 。他们让年龄悬殊的中国英语学习者自我 报告第二语言水平 ,并对受试进行语法评分 ,把 得到的行为数据与测量到的大脑某些部位的脑电 活动作比较 。 结果表明 , 成年人第二语言学习能力随初始学 习年龄的增长而呈直线下降 , 学习者初始学习 年龄越大 ,语义处理能力越慢 ,左半脑的专门化 程度减弱 ,右半球参与句法加工的程度加大 。 该研究还发现神经支系统习得开放和封闭词类时 在分布和时间上表现出差异 , 年龄较大才开始 学习第二语言的人习得开放词类比较慢 。这项 研究结果支持临界期假说 。

正确处理语言知识与语言能力的关 系 。外语能力的获得归根到底并不取 决于多懂一些语音 、语法和词汇的知 识 , 而是靠大量的语言实践 。 不要过度担心自己的口音 ,正确处 理准确与流利的关系 。 不要过分地分析自己 , 要多注意 语言自身的功能 。 充分考虑自身特点，消除自我压抑。 正确处理“母语” 与“外语” 的 关系 , 排除母语的负迁移 。
少年 ( 11 至 17 岁)
少年学习外语的优势是 , 少年的认知能力已发 展到较高水平 ,其原语言意识较为敏感 ,模仿 力和记忆力极强 ; 少年比儿童更善于利用语言 交际策略。少年的情感屏障没有成年人高 , 一 般不像成年人那样过于计较他人对自己的态度 , 情感屏障低有利于内在机制的正常运转 。少年 跟成年人一样 ,能利用所学的语言规则进行监 控 ,而儿童一般缺乏监控语言输出的能力 。由 于以上方面的原因 ,少年在学习速度及学习具 体语言方面 ( 如词法、句法 、听力等) 有超 过成年人和儿童之处 。 缺点是比儿童的学习要花更多的精力 , 要求有 更高的学习自觉性和坚持性.
三 不同年龄阶段学 习外语的各自优势
儿童 ( 3 至 10 岁)
儿童学习外语的优势是大脑的可塑 性最强 ,在语言才能方面未呈现差 异 ; 在习得自然的语音方面占有绝 对优势 。这一时期学习外语可能在 大脑中留下痕迹 , 激发神经功能系 统 ,以后再发展 ,语言习惯和能力 比较容易形成 。 缺点是他们的长期记忆能力较差 , 母语与外语 ,本土文化与外来文化 容易混乱 ,抽象逻辑思维能力还没 有形成 ,时间花得多 。
综合各种调查研究 ,得出以下结论 : 1. 成年人在最初的习得速度上存在优势 ，特别是在句法方面 。 如果儿童学习者获得足够的二语接触 ,最终会超过成人学习者 。 2. 儿童更有可能获得本族语的语法能力 , 语法的关键期可能迟于 发音的关键期 ( 大约 15 岁 ) 。某些成人学习者可能成功地获得 说和写的语法准确性 ,达到本族使用者的程度 ,甚至获得完全的语 言能力。 3. 不管是否能够达到本族使用 熟练程度 , 儿童在发音和语法 方面习得的水平都要高于成年 人 。 4. 习得第二语言语法的过程受 年龄的影响不大 ,但语音获得的 过程可能受到很大的影响 。

年龄与第二语言习得
我国改革开放形势不断发展 , 与国外的交往日益增多，在这种形势下我国 的外语教育事业也得到了空前的发展。越来越多的不同年龄阶段的人在学习 外语（主要是英语）。
而年龄是影响第二语言 ( 兼指外语) 习得效果个体差异的重要因素之一 。 许多心理学家 、应用语言学家和教育家十分关注年龄对二语习得的影响 , 他们用大量的时间从不同的角度 , 选择不同的对象研究年龄和第二语言习 得的关系 , 但研究的结果并不一致 ,甚至产生了一些相互矛盾的结论 。
二 年龄变化在第二 语言习得中的差异
Larwen Freeman ( 1991 年) 等认为 , 虽然对年龄在二语学习得中作用的 解释存在差异 , 但至少有 4种主要的原因是一致的 : 1. 社会心理上的解释 。 成年人与儿童之间存在差异 ,例如成人可能更加压抑 ,他们更愿确立讲 某种语言而显示的身份 。因此 ,他们可能在某种程度上抵制社会化 ; 而这恰恰是儿童学习一种语言的结果 。有时 ,成人为了区分自己作为 某一特定母语的使用者 ,故意说带有母语口音的第二语言 。 2. 认知理论上的解释 。 Krashen ( 1982 年 ) 认为 ,认知的发展对第二语言的习得有滞定的影 响 。儿童和成人的第二语言习得涉及不同的过程 。前者主要引用语言习 得机制 , 如同习得第一语言一样习得第二语言 : 而后者除“自然”习得 语言外 ,还侧重于有意识地学习语言规则 。 3. 输入上的解释 。 年轻的学习者比成人收到更好的输入 , 这将为他们学习句法提供更好 的素材 。年轻也更善于利用与本族同年人交流的机会 , 通过这些交流 , 他们能进行语音的练习 。 4. 神经上的解释 。 首先 , 大脑的两半球在青春期左右变得功能专门化 , 即大脑侧化 。 在关键期之间 ,大脑更加有弹性 。如果大脑的一侧功能受到损伤 ,该功能 或能转移至大脑子的另一侧 。其次 ,二语习得的能力随着神经的弹性丧失 而衰退 。
