33.C

34.B

35.D【分析】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了孩子比成年人更容易学语言，因为孩子在10岁以前更易更愿意尝试新事物，这对他们掌握新语言也是有利的。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Now,inanewstudy,scientistshaveworkedouttheexactageatwhichyourchancesofreachingfluencyinasecondlanguageseemtodrop:10”以及第二段“Thestudy,publishedinthejournalCognition,foundthatit'snearlyimpossibleforlanguagelearnerstoreachnative-levelfluencyiftheystartlearningasecondtongueafterage10.”可知，科学家们已经计算出讲流利的第二语言确切年龄是10岁。如果语言学习者在10岁以后开始学习第二种语言，他们几乎不可能达到母语水平的流利程度。由此可知，学习语言的最佳时期是在十岁前，故选A。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段Children'sbrainsaremoreplasticthanthoseofadults,meaningthey'rebetterabletoadaptandrespondtonewinformation."Alllearninginvolvesthebrainchanging,"Hartshornesays,"andchildren'sbrainsseemtobealotmoreskillfulatchanging."Kidsmayalsobemorewillingtotrynewthingsandtopotentiallylookfoolishintheprocessthanadultsare.可知，孩子们的大脑似乎更善于改变。孩子们也可能比成年人更愿意尝试新事物。由此可推断出孩子与成年人相比，孩子们更灵活。所以当谈到新事物时，作者认为孩子和成年人相比孩子们更灵活，故选C。【34题详解】猜测词义题。根据最后一段中划线词的上一句“thecritical(关键的)periodforfluentlanguageacquisitionmightbelongerthanpreviouslythought.”可知，学习语言的关键期可能比以前的要长些，即流利学习语言的机会长了。由此可推测出此处是指语言学习能力的“机会（Chance）”，故选B。【35题详解】主旨大意题。第一段提出“学习语言的最佳时期是在10岁”。下文用研究来说明为什么儿童在这时更容易学好语言。研究表明如果语言学习者在10岁以后开始学习第二种语言，他们几乎不可能达到母语水平的流利程度，因为孩子们在对待新生事物时更灵活，对他们较好掌握新语言是有利的。因此D项（为什么孩子比成年人更容易学语言）为短文最佳标题。故选D。【点睛】在阅读中我们经常会考查猜测词义题。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式，这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各种已知信息）并结合具体的语境推测、判断某些词或短语的词义。第3小题属于猜测词义题。根据最后一段中划线词的上一句“thecritical(关键的)periodforfluentlanguageacquisitionmightbelongerthanpreviouslythought.”可知，学习语言的关键期可能比以前的要长些，即流利学习语言的机会长了。可推测出此处是指语言学习能力的“机会（Chance）”，故选B。19.ThechildoftodayowesmuchofitspleasantschoollifetotheworkofMariaMontessoriandotherswhofeltasshedid.MariaMontessoriwasbornin1870innorthernItaly.Bothherparentswerewelleducated.WhileMariawasastudent,shetookgreatinterestinthestudyoftheparticularnatureofthechild'smind.Itcametoher
