10、学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题】 As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread came into my mind. I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread.Real lang
11、uage learning takes place in human relationships. No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry. You dont become bilingual (双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary. You dont become a speaker of a language by memorizing verb conjugations (动词的词形变化) and agreement rules. You

Flour is necessary, as are yeast, salt, water and other ingredients. Vocabulary is part of any lang
13、uage and will have to be learned. Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored. But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread. At best, you only end up with a ball of dough (面团).In order to get bread, you have to apply hea
14、t to the dough. And in language learning, that heat comes from the community. Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat. It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?” When you try to say so
15、mething quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread. Remember the old saying, “If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?” This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable
16、and we stop the baking process. In other words, we cant stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen.However, the language learner who stays in the kitchenin the heat until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He said that he did not

In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if t

Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of wavesa weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She think
