问题 In most people’s ideas, people lose the ability to learn language well
  
Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is why they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age of twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? On the contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases from childhood to adulthood.
    There are several possible explanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally adults have more self-control than children.
    Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.

选项 A、Adults have more self-control man children.
B、Adults can use logical thinking to think.
C、Adults have more knowledge than children.
D、Adults accept new things more easily than children.

答案D

解析 细节推断题。文章提到成年人比孩子们学习外语更容易的几个原因,即成年人知道的知识更多,会运用逻辑思维思考,以及有更好的自控能力,而D项并没有在文中提及,按常理来说,成年人比儿童更容易接受新事物这一论断也不是太正确,所以选D。
