　　Linguistic Ability of Children
A．　　Scientists may finally have an explanation for why children reign supreme when it comes to learning new language．Using MRI and animation technology to study the brains of children．researchers like Dr.Paul Thompson of UCLA have discovered that children are processing language information in a different region of the brain than adults．
B．　　There are different areas in the brain controlling different functions in our lives．When we brush our teeth，sign our names or drive a car，we don’t consciously think：“move the right hand up and down like this，”“capitalize this letter，”or“turn the wheel 30 degrees to the left．”These are examples of automatic brain function．When children acquire language，this same part of the brain， called the“deep motor area，”is what they use，so the language is like second nature．
C．　　But when adults learn a second or third language，their brains operate differently．The window of opportunity to imprint information and skills in the deep motor region of the brain is widest during early childhood and nearly shut by the time we reach about l 8．Therefore．adults have to store information elsewhere，in a more active brain region．As a consequence，adults usually think sentences through in a native tongue and then translate them word—by-word，instead of thinking automatically in another language as a child would．Even for people with extensive training in fl second language as an adult，who feel their speech is automatic，on a neurological level the brain is still operating differently from a child’s．
D．　　Research into the neurology of language acquisition is proving useful because understanding the“geographic”differences of language learning in children versus adults may influence teachers and their decisions about foreign language instruction. As an example, Thompson says simply teaching young children the sounds and accents of other languages at an earlier age may be valuable, even if they are not getting full instruction in the language. Learning those sounds later in life from a neurological perspective can be more difficult.
E.　　 There is no proof of any physiological change that fundamentally alters language learning between childhood and adulthood. Non-physiological explanations are available for every observation made thus far, and they are just as plausible as the physiological explanations. The notion that children are physiologically different from adults with respect to language learning is accepted linguistic dogma, not proven fact. The dogma is most readily accepted by linguists who can't learn other languages, and is considered the most questionable by people who have learne

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
　　Questions12-12are based on the following passage.
　　Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to shed. You may even have tried a fad(时尚) diet or two, but found yourself right back where you　1　. The key to weight loss is regular　2　activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term,　3　effects. Your body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic　4　such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion. The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate.
　　Any time you are active,　5　energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen (糖原) and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves. Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and　6　of your activity? The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lower the intensity, the　7　your body will rely on fat as its fuel.
　　Aerobic exercise is most　8　for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you　9　contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running, rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity. Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, you will bum more fat than if you had　10　in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short, a brisk 30-minute walk will bum fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.
A．positive　　 F．physical 　　K．started
B．additional 　　G．activities 　　L．repeatedly
C．duration 　　H．functions　　 M．less
