Why do children learn so quickly? Is it simply a necessity，or is a child’s brain more
capable of taking in new information than an adult’s brain?
“It is a common way of thinking that ‘children are like sponges’ and have the magical
ability to learn new skills faster than an adult，but there are some misconceptions here，” said
Debbie Raven，a researcher at the University of Chester.“A child’s cognitive(认知的)
development is age-related and，naturally，children perform worse than their older peers in most
areas.However，there are times when being young brings an advantage，and this is especially true
around their earliest years.”
This advantage is largely due to neuroplasticity，meaning the brain’s ability to form and
change its connections，pathways and wiring based on experiences.Neuroplasticity is what gives
children the capacity to learn—and，if necessary，unlearn—habits，routines，approaches and
actions very quickly.This ability is most constant and rapid before a child’s fifth birthday，when
much of what they encounter or experience is novel.“This ability to learn quickly is connected to
several areas，including plasticity，their experiences with adults，their environment，and their
biological drive to explore，”Raven said.“Childhood is a place where children spend their time
catching up with adults’ more sophisticated abilities.”
Language learning，in particular，is an area where children often have a huge advantage over
adults.This is largely because babies are able to tune in to the rhythm and sounds used in their
native language，and can therefore become fluent speakers by the age of four.“This ability can
help young children learn a second or third language with apparent ease，”Raven said.
In a research paper，the authors suggest that “human babies are born seeing and hearing
linguistic information that older children and adults miss，although they lose this ability with more
experience in their environments”．Moreover，babies can “discriminate speech sounds and
tones used in all of the world’s languages，making them open to all input，regardless of the
linguistic environment they are born into”．
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了孩子们学得快的原因，并解释了他们为什么
在语言学习领域有天赋。

A．To prove a new theory.B．To share personal experience.
C．To correct a wrong belief.
D．To solve long-held confusion.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘It is a common way of thinking...but there are some
misconceptions here’．..A child’s cognitive(认知的) development is age-related and，
naturally，children perform worse than their older peers in most areas.”可知，研究员黛比·拉文
发表评论是为了纠正一个错误的认识——孩子有比成年人更快地学习新技能的神奇能力。
而实际上孩子的认知发展与年龄有关。故选C。
2．What’s one feature of “neuroplasticity”？
A．It enables children to break a habit quickly.
B．It accompanies a person all through his life.
C．It is entirely based on a kid’s past experiences.
D．It disappears soon after a child’s fifth birthday.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Neuroplasticity is what gives children the capacity to
learn—and，if necessary，unlearn—habits，routines，approaches and actions very quickly.”可
知，“神经可塑性”的一个特点是它能使孩子们很快改掉一个习惯。故选A。
3．What impacts kids’ quick learning ability according to Raven?
A．Their brain structure.
B．Their habits and routines.
C．Their parents’ experiences.
D．Their inborn desire to explore.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘This ability to learn quickly...and their biological drive
to explore，’ Raven said.”可知，拉文认为，孩子与生俱来的探索欲望影响了孩子的快速
学习能力。故选D。
4．What does the author mainly talk about in the last two paragraphs?
A．Why children are talented language learners.
B．What are the proper ways of learning languages.
C．When is the best time to learn foreign languages.
D．How environments can influence language learning.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据倒数第二段中的“Language learning，in particular，is an area where
children often have a huge advantage over adults.This is largely because...”以及最后一段的“Ina research paper...although they lose this ability with more experience in their environments.”可知，
作者在最后两段主要讲到为什么孩子在语言学习领域往往比成年人具有巨大优势，即为什么
孩子是有天赋的语言学习者。故选A。
