statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(C)
One is never too old to learn. Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a fine building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.
Within that schooling framestudy, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.
Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.
Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the table from 9 to noon. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.
Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.
63.It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______. A. tell the nature of life learning B. carry life learning through
C. learn without going to school D. find a specially trained teacher
64.According to the author, the schooling framestudy often ______. A. produces slow students with poor memories

C. clear about why to learn D. cautious about any mistakes
66.According to the author, life learning ______. A. could prevent one from running risks B. teaches a kid how to avoid being laughed at C. makes a kid independent of his parents D. could be a road full of trials and errors 【答案】63.A 64.B 65.C 66.D 【解析】

Directions：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
10/ 14
A. English has been adopted as the language of air traffic, commerce, ect. B. The people were united into a speech community through their shared language. C. The Advantages of Learning a Second Language. D. So, the importance of learning English is obvious. E. The Threat That English Poses to Other Languages. F. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. Historical Account of English and Its Community
There is no denying that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England. Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally, the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. _____67_____ The Definition of a Speech Community
A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share common language. _____68_____ More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live. The Composition of the English Community
We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience, we may classify the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education, commerce, and so on. The Wide Use of English
English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for the many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language. ____69_____ Moreover, English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English. _____70_____
Learning second language extends one's vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their cultural；a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.
