　　說明文 語言學習 language 6分鐘 /5

　　If you want to learn a language and become fluent in it，then you really need to start as early in life as possible，because the older you get，the harder it can be to get your tongue round new words and sounds.However，that is not a reason to put off learning a language later in life，because there are still many advantages to it.

　　As you get older，it can become more and more tempting to stick to things you are most familiar with.However，giving yourself something new to do can help to keep your brain active，and the more active your brain is，the younger you will feel.

　　________ It makes life interesting.Don't set your expectations too high—you aren't going to become fluent in a couple of months，for example.Instead，set yourself short-term goals—to finish a textbook or to practice your skills on a language speaker.The challenge will provide you with a renewed energy for life.

　　Many people，especially when they are older，are put off going overseas because they are worried about communicating with the local people.However，once you start to learn a language，you will have much more confidence to travel in countries where that language is spoken.Once you are able to buy things，ask directions and have free conversations，you will find travelling much more enjoyable.

　　One of the best reasons for learning a language later in life is simply because you can.When younger，you probably had little spare time.Now，you probably have more time in hand in that when your family has grown up and you may even have retired.There are so many tools you can use to learn languages these days(the television and Internet are two obvious ones)，so you may not even have to pay.

　　【語篇導讀】　本文是一篇說明文。大部分人認為學習外語是青少年的事情，但是作者認為老年人學外語更有優勢。本文闡述了老年人學外語的優勢。

　　1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Learn a Language Later in Life

　　B．Gain Advantages in Later Life

　　C．Build up Confidence When Old

　　D．Older People to Meet Challenges

　　解析　主旨大意題。盡管文章中提到了advantages，challenges，confidence，它們只是老年人學習語言的細節。作者在文中闡述了老年人學習外語的優勢，故選A項。

　　答案　A

　　2．It is commonly believed that when a person is old，______.

　　A．he becomes weak and sick

　　B．he is slow in thought and action

　　C．he can never be lazy to learn new things

　　D．he has got no time to do anything

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段可知，通常人們認為學習外語是越早越好，隨著人的變老，很難發準單詞的讀音，所以通常人們認為老年人在思維和行動上遲鈍，故選B項。

　　答案　B

　　3．The author suggests that ________.

　　A．an old person do the things he is familiar with

　　B．an old person take up something strange

　　C．an old person set a high goal for later life

　　D．an old person save his brain for future

　　解析　細節理解題。根據第二段第二句可知，作者建議老年人應該從事新的事情，以便使自己的大腦活躍，故選B項。

　　答案　B

　　4．Which of the following is the best for the blank?

　　A．A good and high goal will benefit a lot.

　　B．Language learning is the best for the old.

　　C．We all need new challenges every now and again.

　　D．More skills will bring a big income for the old.

　　答案　C

　　5．The reason that old men learn a foreign language is that ________.

　　A．they are planning to travel abroad alone

　　B．they have more time than the young

　　C．they take more interest than expected

　　D．they have been left behind by families

　　解析　細節理解題。根據文章最后一段可知，老年人學外語最好的理由是他們有充裕的時間，故選B項。盡管文中提到了到國外旅游，但并不是他們的計劃，而是學好外語之后的優勢。

　　答案　B

　　【溫馨提示】　tempting adj.引誘人的，吸引人的　renewed adj.更新的　overseas adj.海外的 adv.在海外　confidence n．信任；信心，自信

　　【長難句解讀】

　　1．原文　If you want

　　to learn a language and become fluent in it，then you really need to start as early in life as possible，because the older you get，the harder it can be to get your tongue round new words and sounds.

　　譯文　如果你想學一門語言，又想學得很流利，那么你的確需要盡早開始，因為年齡越大，就越難讓你的舌頭適應新的詞語及發音。

　　分析　這是一個較復雜的復合句。if在此引導條件狀語從句，在該句的主句中用到了as...as...結構和the＋比較級．..the＋比較級．..結構，在這一結構中，又用到了it作形式主語，不定式to get your tongue round new words and sounds 作真正的主語。

　　2．原文　However，once you start to learn a language，you will have much more confidence to travel in countries where that language is spoken.

　　譯文　然而，一旦你開始學習一門語言，你將會在那些說該種語言的國家旅游時有更多的自信。

　　分析　該句中once引導時間狀語從句，用一般現在時態表將來，主句用將來時態。在主句中where引導定語從句，修飾先行詞countries，where在定語從句中作狀語。

　　與周圍的人 friend 6分鐘 /5

　　I was in trouble in overcoming my addiction to alcohol，and so was my friend Mike.We never met each other until we chanced to be in the same self-placed inpatient treatment facility.Now we had been out of the treatment center for about a year and had returned to our lives.We have become inseparable friends like brothers.

　　The thing that kept me and my friend Mike going during these times was our ability to be the counselor for each other.There was never a time when I had not called him that he did not call me right back within a couple of hours.We got together every chance we could to keep us both on the right track.

　　One day，I called Mike but he wasn't in.As usual，I had to leave a message，fully expecting to hear from him later that evening or the next day.When I had not heard from him for nearly 2 days，I started to become very anxious as to what could the problem be.Surely there must be something significant that had kept him from returning my call.On the third day，I received a message from my wife that Mike's wife had called and wanted to speak

　　to me.She said she would be calling later in the afternoon.I started to worry about the entire thing，as my wife did not even know what Marylynn wanted to speak to me about.When Marylynn called，I immediately knew there was something wrong.Mike had been killed in an unexplained truck crash on

　　the morning of my call.There were no witnesses and no explanations as to what had happened.

　　I attended my friend's funeral and even though I could hardly walk，I helped carry my friend to his final resting place.I have never met any single statement affecting me as much as that one，so I can be sure to say that I am still here and my friend Mike is still here too，in my heart and my soul.

　　【語篇導讀】　這是一篇記敘文，敘述了“我”和邁克在戒酒中心相識，成了像親兄弟一樣不可分離的好朋友。不幸的是，邁克在一次車禍中失去了寶貴的生命。

　　1．Why does the author write the passage?

　　A．To tell how he came to know Mike.

　　B．To disclose the truth of a good friend.

　　C．To search his memory for his good friend.

　　D．To announce he lost a good friend.

　　解析　主旨大意題。作者介紹了自己和好朋友邁克的相識、相交，以及彼此之間不可分離的情景，是在回顧好朋友邁克的點點滴滴，故選C。A、D兩項是文章的細節；B項文中沒有提到。

　　答案　C

　　2．How did the author and Mike know each other?

　　A．They have the same ability to give advice to each other.

　　B．They have fallen into the same habit.

　　C．When they were in an alcoholic centre.

　　D．When the author treated a patient.

　　解析　細節理解題。根據第一段的首句可知，“我”和邁克都是酗酒的人。選項中的an alcoholic centre與the same self-placed inpatient treatment facility是一個地方，由此推斷兩人是在戒酒中心認識的。A、B兩項不是認識的方式，故排除；作者和邁克都是病人，故排除D項。

　　答案　C

　　3．From the passage we can infer that ________.

　　A．Mike never answered the author in a few hours

　　B．Mike and I tried best to overcome the bad habit

　　C．my wife usually left a message to Mike

　　D．it is common for me not to get his call for 2 days

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據第二段最后一句We got together every chance we could to keep us both on the right track.可知，我們盡可能地走上正道(on the right track走上正道)，上文提到了雙方都有酗酒的毛病，故這里指擺脫酗酒的習慣。

　　答案　B

　　4．Why did the author start to become very anxious?

　　A．Because he was worried if Mike had been in a car crash.

　　B．Because Mike never returned his call so late.

　　C．Because he thought Mike was in hospital.

　　D．Because Mike's wife wasn't good to him.

　　解析　細節理解題。根據第二段可知，當作者打電話時，如果邁克沒有接到，他很快就回電話。所以這次兩天沒有消息，令作者擔心，故選B。誤解分析：作者這時不知道邁克發生了車禍，故排除A、C選項；文中沒有提到邁克的妻子與作者的關系，故排除D項。

　　答案　B

　　5．The underlined word “statement” in the last paragraph implies ________.

　　A．a message that is declared

　　B．a document showing credits and debts

　　C．a fact that is offered as evidence

　　D．a person that is important to another

　　解析　詞匯猜測題。作者全文中都在談論好朋友邁克，認為他是對自己最有影響的人，故選D項。

　　答案　D

　　【溫馨提示】　inpatient n．住院病人　inseparable adj.不能分離的　significant adj.重要的，有意義的，意味深長的　as to 至于，關于；按照，說到

　　【長難句解讀】

　　1．原文　The thing that kept me and my friend Mike going during these times was our ability to be the counselor for each other.

　　譯文　在那段時期維系邁克和我友誼的是我們都有能充當對方咨詢者的能力。

　　分析　該句有兩個定語，第一個是由that引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞The thing，that在定語從句中作主語，不可以省略；第二個是不定式短語to be the counselor for each other作定語，修飾名詞ability，名詞ability 的后置定語通常由不定式充當。此外，在定語從句中，還包括了keep的復合結構，其賓語補足語由現在分詞充當。

　　2．原文　I have never met any single statement affecting me as much as that one，so I can be sure to say that I am still here and my friend Mike is still here too，in my heart and my soul.

　　譯文　我從沒遇到過任何一個人能夠像Mike那樣強烈地影響我，因此我敢肯定，我在這里，我的朋友Mike也在這里，我們的心和靈魂是緊密相連的。

　　分析　此句話用現在分詞短語affecting me as much as that one 作定語，相當于賓語從句that affected me as much as that one；同時還用了賓語從句that I am still here and my friend Mike is still here too，in my heart and my soul。
