It's no secret that children learn things faster than adults, but what is the best age to learn a new language A new study has managed to find out the time when it gets more challenging.
A new study shows that in order to master a new foreign language well, people should start learning before the age of ten. Researchers said children up to the age of eighteen remain skilled at learning grammar. Unfortunately, many people would like to pick up a new language after the “critical period” when the language-learning ability starts to go down. A researcher said, “As long as a child under the age of ten is interested in a new foreign language, it's quite easy to become a bilingual(会说两种语言的人)… That's the time when you're best at learning languages. It's not really something that you can make up later.”
The research was based on the results of 670,000 people taking a 10-minute online grammar test. Researchers measured the grammatical(语法的) ability of people who started learning a language at different periods in their life. The test had grammar rules that were likely to be very difficult for non-native speakers. These measured a person's ability to master the grammar of a foreign language.
Another researcher suggested older people might be too busy to learn a language. He said after seventeen or eighteen, people leave home, go to university or start work. All of these could affect how well someone learns a language.
20.To master a foreign language, a person had better learn it 　　　　.
A.before the age of ten B.after the age of ten
C.before the age of eighteen D.after the age of eighteen
21.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined phrase “critical period”
A.关键期 B.冷静期 C.沉默期 D.瓶颈期
22.What do non-native speakers think of the grammar rules of the test
A.Easy. B.Hard. C.Normal. D.Interesting.
23.The passage may come from 　　　　.
A.a humorous story B.a science magazine
C.a new guidebook D.a report on nature
24.What's the best title of the passage
A.How to learn a foreign language well
B.Learning a foreign language is important
C.The best age to learn a new language
D.People must master the grammar rules
答案 20-24

Ⅳ.一项新的研究表明,为了更好地掌握一门新语言,人们应该在十岁之前开始学习。因为十岁之前是开始学习外语的最佳时期,一旦错过这个时期,学起外语来可能就更具挑战性。
20.A　细节理解题。由第二段的第一句“A new study shows that in order to master a new foreign language well, people should start learning before the age of ten.”可知,要想学好一门外语,最好在十岁之前学。A。
21.A　词义猜测题。由画线短语后的内容“when the language-learning ability starts to go down”可推出,该时期为语言学习的“关键期”。故画线短语的意思是“关键期”。
22.B　细节理解题。由第三段的倒数第二句“The test had grammar rules that were likely to be very difficult for non-native speakers.”可知,这项测试中的语法规则对非母语人士来说非常困难。B。
23.B　推理判断题。本文讲的是十岁之前是孩子学外语的关键期。这属于科学研究的范畴,故本文最可能出自科学杂志。
24.C　主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是什么时间开始学习外语最好。由此推出C项最能概括本文主旨。
