28、volved, or changed over time, to permitpeople to speak and write.Michael Ullman, the lead researcher, a professor at Georgetown University Medical School in Washington, D. C, has been studying language learning for more than 20 years.Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have

29、a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted（指派）parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says, are ancient-older even than humans themselves.This study examines the theoretical frame work（准贝 ij） that language is learned, stored and processed i

30、n two ancient learning and memory systems in the brain.Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory pr

31、ocess. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as learning memory, such as, Oh, remember what you said last night* or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory* such as how you lea

32、rn to ride a bicycle. Or, Ullman adds, nThese procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them.”However, Ullman explains that the two long-term memory systems can share tasks. And, he ads, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit dif

33、ferently than a childs brain.n Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about it purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They dont have to think about the grammar rules before speaking.nIn addition to

34、 language learners, Ullmans study could help people who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia（阅读障碍）.People with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words and symbols accurately.1、How did Ullman study

35、 humans memory systems?A. By examining the brain with his team.B. By studying language learning over years.C. By comparing different languages year after year.D. By referring to data from other studies on language.2、Which of the following is an example of motor memoryn?A. Learning to make a model pl

36、ane.C. Repeating what you heard.B. Remembering the grammar patternsD. Memorizing what you read.3 What does the underlined word “it refer to?A. Declarative memory.B. An adult language learner.C. Using grammar patterns.D. A second language.4、Whats the main idea of the text?A. Ullman has advanced our l

37、anguage understanding.B , A new research helps people learn a new language.C. Learning memory is more active than motor memory.D. Human beings learn language in pre human area of brain.Text 4One day a very skilled artist met a beautiful woman who immediately became the object of his affections. As h

38、e observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the object of his artistic interest than of his affections.

40、he pleaded, and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will be my masterpiece!?,She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you. So the beautiful, young wife of the artist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not complainin

41、g. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “ Please love me and want me as a person rather than as an object r But instead, she spoke nothing but

42、 words which pleased him.At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his beautiful work of art, he cried with a loud voice, “This is indeed life itself!”
