The Bilingual Brain
When Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea as a teenager,he had a hard time learning English.Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language.As a graduate student, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York Their work led to an important discovery.They found evidence that children and adults don't use the same parts ofthe brain when they learn a second language.
The researchers used an instrument called an MRI(magnetic resonance imaging)scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people.One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.The other consisted of people who,like Kim,learned their second language later in lite.Peoplefrom both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner ,This allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of thebrain were getting more blood and were more active.They asked people from both groups to think about whatthey had done the day before ,first in one language and then the other.They couldn't speak out loudbecause any movement would disrupt（干扰）the scanning.
Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca' s area, which isbelieved to control speech production,and Wernicke's area,which is thought to process meaning.Kim andHirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language theywere speaking.But their use of Broca's area was different.
People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca's area for both tneir first and second languages.People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Broca's area for their second language.How does Hirsch explain this difference?Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children,their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area.Once that programming is complete,the processing of a new language must be taken over by adifferent part of the brain.
A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do asadults.Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch,sound and sight.And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.Kim and Hirsch find that children______.
A: use the same region in Broca's area to learn their first and second language
B:learn a second language slower than adults
C:are better at acquiring the sound system of a second language than adults
D:use special parts of the brain to program the structures of their first language答案：A解析：由文章第一段最后一句可知，他们发现证据表明儿童和成人在学习第二语言时使用的是大脑的不同区域，故选B。
由文章第二段第一句可知，研究人员使用一种名为MRI扫描仪的设备来研究这两组学习双语人群的大脑活动，故选C。
由文章第三段第一句可知，这两个中枢的作用分别是控制语言产出和处理语言意义，这属于中枢的功能，故选B。
由文章第四段第一句可知，从儿童时期就开始学习第二语言的人在学习第二语言时所使用的大脑布洛卡区域和学母语时相同，故选A。
文章最后一段主要讲的是儿童和成年人学习语言的方式和手段不同，尤其提到了母亲在教授儿童语言时的独特方式：触觉、视觉和听觉等多种手段并用。这与以后学校的语言学习手段有着很大不同。我们可以推断出母亲很擅长教授孩子语言，尤其从“Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch,sound and sight.”这句话更可以看出。选项D是根据我们学习语言的经验得出的推断，但文中并没有这层隐含之意。 -

A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults.Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch'sound, and sight.______(50)______(46)
A:But their use of Broca's area was different.
B:One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.
C:How does Hirsch explain this difference?
D:We use special parts of the brain for language learning.
E:And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.
F:Their work led to an important discovery.答案：F解析：空格后的“found”与选项F中的“discovery”的意义相近，且空格后的句子是对F的进一步解释。
空格前一句表明要对两组使用双语的人员的大脑进行研究，空格后的句子“The other…”讲的是一组人员的情况。由此可推测出，空格处讲的应是另一组人员的情况，B项符合题意。
整段讲的是Kim和Hirsch对大脑的两个语言中心的分析，空格前讲的是他们对Wernicke's area的使用情况的研究发现，空格处应为被测试者使用Broca's area的情况。A项符合题意。
空格前两句表明了成人学习第二语言与儿童学习第二语言时对Broca's area的不同使用情况，后面的“Hirsch beheves…”是Hirsch对这一现象的解释，根据上下文语境可知，空格处应选择C项。
最后一段第一句指出，儿童和成人学习语言的方式不同，空格前的句子讲的是母亲怎样教儿童学习说话，可知空格处应说明这与成人学习语言的不同，E项与这一语境最符合。 -

长时间没认真接触过英语作文，知道有很多低级错误，因为要的比较急，所以还望各位不吝赐教，帮忙修改一下。。。不胜感激。。。
improve our language 后面加上ability吧
second改为secondlyNowadays , more and more students go to foreign countries to study . many people are spare no effort in applying for going abroad .
现在,越来越多的学生去国外去深造。其中就有很多人不遗余力地申请到国外去留学。
About this phenomenon , different people have different points . some people agree with it . first of all , studying abroad is the best way to improve our language . if we want to break away from “ mute English ” , it’s a good method to help you . second , by studying abroad we can better to know foreign countries’ culture . going in a country and we can experience different culture’s charm . last but not least , it’s a good opportunity to travel , make friends with different people and broaden your horizon .
关于这一现象,不同的人有不同的分。有些人同意这样的说法。首先,出国留学是最好的方法,以改善我们的语言。如果我们想摆脱“哑巴英语”,这是一个很好的方法来帮助你。第二,通过学习国外可以让我们更了解外国的文化。要在一个国家,我们还能体验不同的文化的魅力。最后,但并非最不重要的是,这是一个很好的机会去旅行,广交朋友,与不同的人,开阔你的眼界。
But others disagree with it . in the first few months these students will have a language barrier and hard to go in their society . many students can’t make a good programme when their parents aren’t with them , some of them spend their abroad’ time in vain .
但是其他人不同意它。在最初几个月这些学生将有语言障碍,并努力去。许多学生在他们的社会做不出好节目的时候,他们的父母没有和他们在一起,他们中的一些人花费他们的国外的时间是徒劳的。
As long as I’m concerned , if we have a chance to study abroad ,we should treasure make full use of it . it will make us be wiser . because of the study’s experience , I believe that our life will also be more beautiful and wonderful .
只要我关心的,如果我们有机会去国外学习,我们都应该珍惜充分利用它。它将使我们变得更聪明。因为该研究的经验,我相信,我们的生活也将更加美妙。
1.many people are spare no effort in applying for going abroad .
spare 应该改成 sparing ，一般进行时。
2.About this phenomenon , different people have different points .
这句话总觉得有点不太顺。
point 改成 standpoint 或许更佳。或者直接把这个句子改成：Standpoints vary from person to person. 感觉更舒服些。
3.second , by studying abroad we can better to know foreign countries’ culture .
better不是个动词，所以不能接在情态动词后。应改成we can know foreign countries’ culture better.
4.going in a country and we can experience different culture’s charm .
好像一般不会说go in a country, 可以说成 go to a country.
5.in the first few months these students will have a language barrier and hard to go in their society .
hard前面要加上be，will be hard to do sth.
另外，go in society 也好别扭，step into the society或join the society应该更舒服。
6.many students can’t make a good programme when their parents aren’t with them .
一般没make a programme这种说法，楼主或许是想表达制定计划吧。那应该用schedule。
7.As long as I’m concerned
没这种说法，应该说成As far as I’m concerned。
8.we should treasure make full use of it
这句话把两个动词谓语叠在一起了，可以分开说成we should treasure it and make full use of it。
9. it will make us be wiser
应该去掉be. 说成make us wiser.
比较明显的错误应该就是这些。
在整体上，我建议楼主在写四级作文的时候可以多用些从句，以及对一些词汇进行适当的润色。比如说最后一句的because of，可以说成owing to或者 as a consequence of之类的。agree with 可以说成 in favor of。
总之，这些需要靠平时的积累和练习。总之，希望楼主的英语作文能够取得长足的进步！如果有什么需要追问的话，很高兴能与你交流！1.many people are spare no effort in applying for going abroad .
spare 应该改成 sparing ，一般进行时。

Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.
I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus , or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm .He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me .Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied（妒忌）me. He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.When did the author fall in love with the boy?
A: After she had a quarrel with him.
B: When she was a junior.
C: When she was a second-year student.
D: After she found a part-time job.答案：B解析：本题问“什么时候作者爱上了这个男孩？”文章第一段和第二段提到了作者爱上男孩的时间，即：大学三年级的时候。其他时间与事实不一致。
本题问“他做了什么使她高兴？”本题是细节题。文章第二段中提到“为了要使我快乐，他向他的朋友借钱为我买礼物并请我吃饭。”
本题问“谁建议她与他分手？”文章第五段第一句提到“几乎我所有的同事和朋友劝告我和他分手。”因此选项C“她的同事和朋友”符合题意。
本题问“为什么他离开了她？”文章最后一段提到“他说他无法忍受我，他说他想要回家乡。”显然这是原因所在。所以选项A“他再也无法忍受了”符合题意。
本题问“当得知他将离开她时，她……”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊，我意识到真正的爱只发生一次，但我发现的已经太晚。”由此可见，作者汁这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。 -
