3．Sing the Language You're Learning
How can you remember a song from your Childhood to this day？Why do you teachers use songs to teach you English？It seems there is a scientific Mason for this．
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language．They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language．
"Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language．The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way"，said Dr．Karen Ludke．The findings may help those who have difficulties learning foreign languages．On his blog，Dr．Ludke write，"A listen-and--repeat singing method can support foreign language learning，and opens the door for future research in this area．"
Many language teachers know the value of using and singing．Hua Zhuying，a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington，D．C．depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese．She says．"I use music all the time to teach children Chinese．For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics．So it's easy for them to start because they know the music．Not only does it work，but it is fun for the kids．"
"Sometimes，I think if I were taught English that way，maybe I would speak much better English than now．"Hua Zhuying adds．
Our brain likes music，especially for remembering．So，if you're still struggling in learning a language，why not try singing it out？

分析 本文是一篇記敘文．主要介紹了通過唱歌可以很容易的記住單詞，科學(xué)研究表明，通過唱，重復(fù)的方法來學(xué)習(xí)外語，通過路德克和華竹影的例子，他們都是教語言的老師，在實際教學(xué)過程中，發(fā)現(xiàn)用唱的方式來學(xué)語言，效果很好，充分證明了唱這種方法學(xué)習(xí)語言很有效的．
解答 51．答案：D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language．"可知通過唱歌來學(xué)習(xí)單詞，是學(xué)習(xí)外語的最好的方式．故選D．
52．答案：B．詞義理解題．根據(jù)"Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language．The brain likes to remember things"可知通過唱歌的方式可以比較容易的記住單詞．因此B的意思與catchy的意思最相近，意為悅耳動易記的．故選B．
53．答案：A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"A listen-and--repeat singing method can support foreign language learning"可知路德克使用"聽-重復(fù)"唱的方法來學(xué)習(xí)外語．故選A．
54．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington，D．C．"可知，華竹影是在美國華盛頓的一個學(xué)校里教漢語，故選C．
55．答案：B．主旨大意題．本文主要介紹了通過唱歌可以很容易的記住單詞，可以更好的學(xué)好外語，故選B．
點評 首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結(jié)合具體的題目再讀短文，找出相關(guān)信息，就可以確定正確答案．
