填空题 {{B}}第二节短文理解 1{{/B}}
阅读下面短文，从[A] (Right)、[B] (Wrong)、[C] (Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。

In School, boys and girls are learning foreign languages,
Do you know how many languages there are in the world? There are about one thousand five hundred. English is one of the most important languages because so many people use it, not only in England and America, but also in other countries of the world. It's difficult to say how many people are learning it. Millions of boys and girls are trying to do so.
Many English children study French. French is also a very important language. Some children study German, Russian(俄语) ,Japanese and Chinese.
Which is the best way to learn a language? We know that we all learn our own language well when we were children. If we learn a second language in the same way, it won't seem too difficult. How does a small child do? He listens to what people say, and he tries to guess what he hears. When he wants something, he has to ask for it. He is using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time. If people use a second language all the time, he will learn it quickly.

单选题 There are about five thousand languages in the world.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】题句意为：“世界上大约有5 000种语言。”文章第二段第二句明确指出：There are about one thousand five hundred(大约有1 500种语言)，题句中的数字与这一句中的数字明显不符，因此是错误的。

单选题 English and French are two very important languages.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】题句意为：“英语和法语是两种很重要的语言。”文章第二段第三句首先指出英语是最重要的语言之一，然后在第三段第二句又指出法语也是一种很重要的语言。因此可知题句是正确的。

单选题 English is easier for us to learn than French and Chinese.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】题句意为：“我们学英语要比学法语和中文容易。”通读全文，发现文章并未对英语、法语和中文这三种语言的学习难度进行对比，因此题句应归入“未提及”。

单选题 The best age for people to learn a second language is between 4 and 8 years old.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】题句意为：“人们学习第二种语言的最佳年龄是在4岁至8岁之间。”同样，通读全文特别是最后一段，发现文章虽然含有小时候学习语言有优势的意思，但并没有就学习语言的最佳年龄进行说明，因此题句应归入“未提及”。

单选题 We all learn our own language well because we are using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】题句意为：“我们的母语都学得很好，是因为我们一直运用它、用它思考、用它谈话。”文章最后一段指出小孩学习语言的方式，其中就提到了using、thinking和．talking三种方式，说明正是这三种方式让小孩掌握语言，并且文章最后一句说：如果一直运用第二语言，学起来就会很快，因此题句的意思符合文意。
