because there are many factors to take into consideration Firstly in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally 1 A native speaker of Spanish for example will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese for example because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish while Chinese is very different 72 The greater the differences between the second language and our first the harder it will be for most people to learn 3 Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role as well as each learner s motivation for learning If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life Apparently British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese which will probably come as no surprise to many but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject object etc 4 In the case of Hungarian for British learners it is not a question of the writing system which uses a similar alphabet but the grammatical complexity though native speakers of related languages may find it easier while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy No language is easy to learn well though languages which are related to our first language are easier Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another 5 A In this case first language can affect learning a second language 用心 爱心 专心3 B Therefore it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language C Some people seem to learn languages readily while others find it very difficult D This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone E Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult F It is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world G So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language 1 5 GACEF 3 2012 哈尔滨一中期中 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选 项 Being a good student doesn t mean you have to

about Leap year Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365 It normally occurs every four years always on an even numbered year The extra day is added to our shortest month That is the second month of the year which in non leap years has 28 days two fewer than any other month 1 We also call Leap year the bissextile year 2 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once is actually slightly more than 365 days long That extra day Feb 29 every four years helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar 3 However Caesar s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds By 1582 a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year To correct this error Pope Gregory X ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400 By this system century years such as 1700 1800 and 1900 were not leap years but the year 2000 was a leap year 4 People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us 5 But if they go strictly by the calendar they have only one fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people A They acknowledge that they get older each year B When you see Feb 29 on a calendar you know that year is a leap year C This is its formal or scientific title D This may seem complicated but it works E In a leap year the extra day is added to the second month giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days F The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC G This is done every four years 1 5 BCGDA 10 2012 2012 银川一中模拟银川一中模拟 A great life doesn t happen by accident It is the result of allocating 分配 your time energy thoughts and hard work towards 用心 爱心 专心10
