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.

D、in their thirties.

答案A

解析 细节题。很多人认为年龄越大,学习一门新语言的难度就越大,这就是他们相信儿童学习语言比成年人轻松的原因,即可能我们在十二三岁的时候就失去了学好语言的能力,那就是在青少年的时候,故选A。
