题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Methods of training animals have changed greatly in recent years. Zoo keepers have always had problems getting the animals to leave their cages in order for the cages to be cleaned, and also training them to move indoors when appropriate（适当的）. Another problem was that many of the large animals became listless and bored. In the last twenty years, scientists have done research on dolphins and whales, training them to obey commands. The scientists found they could get animals to obey by rewarding them with food and affection when they responded（反应） correctly.
Proper training allows the animals to receive the care they need. It was very difficult to get untrained animals, especially the larger ones, to stay still when they needed medical attention. Now they can be trained, on command, to remain still and even to allow blood samples（样本） to be taken and shots administered（执行）. All this is finished through positive reinforcement, without the use of any force. Affection training, as this process is called, has been used with great success on a wide variety of zoo animals. Animal behavior experts have taught zoo keepers to train bears, tigers, monkeys, and many other species to behave in a way that provides for better animal-keeper interaction(相互作用). This training also keeps the animals from becoming bored and inactive.
Although some people proclaim(谴责) that this training is inhumane and cruel to animals, results have shown that captive(猎获的) animals who previously were not doing well flourish under the new training procedures.

“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee（保证）success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely（相反的）, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners.“Read as much as you can in the new language. Practice speaking the language every day. Live with people who speak the language.”“Don't translate--try to think in the new language. Learn as a child would learn: play with the language.”
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立的）learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language, instead of waiting for the teacher to explain. They try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues（线索）and form their own conclusions.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.
(1)A successful language learner must ________.
[ ]
A．be very intelligent
B．depend on a good book or teacher
C．always try to speak correctly
D．try to learn the new language independently, actively, and purposefully
(2)Which of the following would most probably NOT be a piece of advice offered by a language teacher?
[ ]
A．Never guess the meaning of a word.
B．Don't translate--try to think in the new language.
C．Find every chance to speak the language.
D．Read as much as possible in the new language.
(3)The expression“play with the language”in Para graph 3 means to ________.
[ ]
A．learn the language to play with a child
B．learn the language from a child
C．learn the language in a more natural way
D．use the language as a boy
(4)According to the text, thinking in the language is more important than knowing the meaning of every word of the language. Why?
[ ]
A．Knowing the meaning of every word is useless.
B．Thinking in the language is easier than knowing the meaning of every word.
C．Knowing the meaning of every word requires more time.
D．When thinking in the language, you are using the language in an active way.
