nt when learning a cond language．Studies haveshown that native speakers of Spanish find Portugue much easier to learn than，say, native speakers of Chine，becau Portugue is very similarto Spanish，while Chine is verydifferent．So a person’s first language affectstheir learning of a cond language．Thegreater the differences between a cond language and the first，the harder it will be for mostpeople to learn．Many Westerners thinkthat Chine is the hardest language to learn becau of its writing system andpronunciation．But for Japanespeakers，who already u Chinecharacters in their own language，learning writing is lessdifficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet．A recentstudy reported that British embassy staff found that the cond hardestlanguage to learn was Japane．More surprising was thelanguage that they found most problematic—Hungarian．In this ca the issue was not thewriting system (as both English and Hungarian u a similar alphabet) butgrammatical complexity．Hungarian has 35 cas(forms of a noun according to whether it is subject，object，genitive，etc．)and it was this that caud the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty．One suspects they would have evenmore problems with Tabasaran，a Caucasian languagewith 48 cas，if they ever had tolearn it．Teachers andthe circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles，as does each learner’s motivation forlearning．If people learn alanguage becau they need to u it professionally，they often learn it faster thanpeople studying a language that has no direct u in their day
to
day life．Put simply，no language is easy to learn well，though languages which are relatedto our first language are easier．Learning a completelydifferent writing system is a huge challenge，butthat does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another．In the end，it is impossible to say that thereis one language that is the most difficult language in the world．1．According to the passage，who is likely to have the mostdifficulty learning a new language?A．A Korean person learningFrench．B． A Spanish person learningPortugue．C．A German person learning English．D．A Chine person learning Japane．2．Which language did British embassystaff find most difficult to learn?A．Japane．
B．Caucasian． C．Hungarian．
D．Tabasaran．3．Which of the following is NOTmentioned as a factor affecting language learning?A．The amount of time spentstudying the new language．B．The environment in which languagelearning takes place．C．The reasons a person has forlearning the new language．D．The similarity between a person’s first language and thenew language．4．Why does the author believe there’s no single hardestlanguage?A．All languages areequally difficult to learn well．B．Wi
th enough effort，any language can be learned well．C．There is not enough evidence tomake any final conclusion．D．To different people，the hardest language is different．答案基础落实Ⅱ.1.qualification2.k
