As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.”可知,全球变暖加速了海冰融化,破坏了北极熊原本的栖息地,越来越多的北极熊待在陆地上以寻找食物。故选B。2How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?AExcited.BPuzzled.CConce

Most such research has had to rely on a small number of subjects, given the difficulty of recruiting them; it is hard to know how meaningful
63、the results are.Now a large new study led by Joshua Hartshorne of Boston College (with Mr. Pinker and Joshua Tenenbaum as coauthors) has given strength to the critical period hypothesis(假说). The study ingeniously recruited 670,000 online testtakers by framing the exercise as a quiz that would guess

The real point was to test English learners knowledge of tricky bits of grammar, and to see how this correlates with the age at which their studies began.Do younger beginners do better because their earlier start gave them more l

But testing a huge amount of data against a number of possible learning curves allowed Mr. Hartshorne to do precisely that. Many previous researchers had posited a dropoff at around pubert

73、portance of mastering a foreign language.B解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中所举的基辛格的例子及“Adults struggle with accents”可知,此处主要是在突出语言学习中,成人在改善口音上有困难。由此可知,提及基辛格就是为了说明这一问题。故选B。7What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 probably mean?AAdults are better at logical thinking than children.BAdults help a lot with children
74、s language learning.CAdults are not really at a disadvantage compared to children.DAdults have more trouble learning grammar than children.C解析:句意理解题。根据第四段中的“with their greater reasoning powers”“when adults and children are exposed to the same teaching materials for a new language for several months,
75、 the adults actually do better”可知,成人的推理能力比儿童的好,同样的时间内学习同样的语法知识,成人的学习效果要比儿童的好。由此可知,画线句的意思是“与儿童相比,成人不一定就处于劣势”。故选C。8Which statement may Mr. Hartshorne agree with?AAge 14 is a turning point for foreign language learners.BA dropoff in learning results appears after the age of 17.CThe critical period is o

78、 at around ten if they are to get to nearnative fluency”和倒数第二段中的“there is still reason to begin in the first years of school”等信息可知,语言学习“关键期”的说法有其合理性,而要达到与当地人接近的流利程度,就应该早接触,早学习。故选B。10What may be discussed in the following paragraph?AThe impact the critical period has on policymakers.BThe application
79、of the critical period to policymaking.CThe importance of the critical period in policymaking.DThe attitude policymakers hold towards the critical period.A解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But for policymakers, the possible effect is clear.”可知,文章接下来可能会涉及语言学习“关键期”对政策制定者有什么样的影响。故选A。推理判断题学生用书P145(单独成册)(建议用时:25分钟)A(201
