3.Your child is unique,but what all children have in common is natural curiosity and an ability to learn they are born with.Our brains are active all the time,and a baby's brain is the busiest of all.Research has shown that babies begin to understand language about twice as fast as they actually speak it.By showing children other languages at an early age,you are giving them the opportunity to make use of their natural ability to hear and recognize between the sounds of other languages,and their ability to make sense of what they are hearing.
Communication is something that children do to help them achieve something else,and they are unaware of the large amount of learning taking place.They take everything in through their senses,making connections between what they hear,see,smell,taste and touch.As long as we provide the right conditions,their learning and development will take place in a natural way.
In your child's early years,the emotional environment is just as important as the physical environment.Children learn when they feel safe,happy,valued and listened to.This is central to any learning experience in a child's early years,including learning an additional language.Your child has a trial-and-error approach to its development,and making mistakes is a valuable part of the learning process.When children learn an additional language at an early age,they get the benefits of experimenting with that language as a natural part of their development.Their progress isn't prevented by a fear of getting it wrong,and very young children are simply working their way towards getting it right.
The long-term benefits of learning another language go beyond being able to communicate with others.Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening,observation,problem-solving and critical(批判性的)thinking skills.These are skills that are of life-long benefit,both personally and professionally.Encouraging in children a love of language at an early age prepares them well for school and for life.
(1)What do we know about Children according to Paragraph 1?
A.Children are busy playing.
B.Children are born to speak.
C.Children are good at speaking native language.
D.Children have a better ability to learn other languages.
(2)While learning a language,children
A.speak to themselves
B.need to have language classes
C.make use of their different senses
D.notice how much they have learned
(3)Children learn when they
A.a(chǎn)re in bad emotion
B.do not make mistakes
C.learn from their mistakes
D.a(chǎn)re taught by their teachers
(4)In fact learning another language helps children to
A.take more tests
B.have a good time
C.encourage themselves
D.develop life-long skills組卷:2引用:2難度:0.5 -
4.There have been fires in every Australian state,but New South Wales has been hardest hit.Fires have torn through bushland (叢林地),wooded areas,and national parks.Some start and are controlled in a few days,but the biggest fires have been burning for months.
Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer,with hot,dry weather making it easy for fires to start and spread.Natural causes are responsible for fires most of the time,like lightning hits in drought-affected forests.Dry lightning was to blame for starting a number of fires in late December,which then traveled more than 20 kilometers in just five hours.Humans can also be responsible.Police have charged at least 24 people with starting bushfires on purpose,and have taken action against 183 people for setting fire since November.
Fire season in Australia is always dangerous -- the 2009 Black Saturday fires killed 173 people in Victoria,making it the deadliest bushfire disaster on record.But conditions have been unusually bad this year,making fires burn more strongly and making firefighting conditions particularly difficult.Australia is experiencing one of its worst droughts over the years.Meanwhile,a heatwave in December broke the record for highest nationwide average temperature,with some places under temperatures well above 40 degrees Celsius.Strong winds have also made the fires and smoke spread more rapidly,and have led to deaths.
About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW,with millions likely dead -- and that's lower than what is probably the real number.That number of total animals influenced could be as high as one billion nationwide.Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires,and a third of the places where they live have been destroyed.
Some species,like koalas,aren't in any immediate danger of extinction because they are spread out across the country.But others that live in more suitable environments with lower populations,including certain types of frogs and birds,could be destroyed entirely if their home is hit by the fires.
(1)Fires in Australia
A.may last a long time
B.often happen in spring
C.mainly happened in some states
D.a(chǎn)re easily controlled in a few hours
(2)Fires in late December
A.spread rapidly
B.caused by humans
C.were put out by police
D.were due to wet weather
(3)What does the underlined word "heatwave" probably mean?
A.big fire
B.strong wind
C.serious drought
D.period of hot weather
(4)Why aren't koalas in danger of extinction at once?
A.Because they can run fast.
B.Because they live far and wide.
C.Because their home is well protected.
D.Because they have a lower population.組卷:1引用:1難度:0.6
