问题     Experts say children can begin learning a second language in preschool, and should begin before the age of ten to take advantage of young children’s natural ability to acquire language. This advantage is lost by the time most children encounter (遇到) a foreign language in the classroom, in middle school or high school.
    Dr. Noble Goss, an assistant professor of Spanish and German at Harding University in Arkansas, says, "As a father of bilingual (双语的) children (My wife is Mexican), I know that not only it is easy for children to learn one or more languages, but they have an amazing way of separating them out more successfully than you would think. "
    If a child hears two languages early, he accepts both equally. But if given a chance to speak both, can they be fluent in both?
   Not everyone agrees that early childhood is the only time to start a language, however. Reeves, the chairman and founder of the Center for Performance Assessment in Denver, Colorado, points to the Defense Language Institute’s success at training adult students to speak other language fluently.
    "The frequently quoted argument that post-adolescence (青春期后) is too late to acquire foreign language skills is still a mystery," says Reeves.
    Still, if children are going to devote the six years or so of study it takes to master a second language, starting early just makes sense.
Experts advise starting a foreign language early because      .
选项 A、children have a special talent to learn languages
B、it will take a very long time to master a language
C、the linguistic ability will be weakened as one grows up
D、children have an amazing way to separate two languages
答案A
解析 根据题干关键词Experts定位到第一段第一句Experts say children can begin learning a second language in preschool...take advantage of young children’s natural ability to acquire language可知，专家认为儿童可以在学龄前就开始学习外语，而且应该在10岁之前开始，以便利用儿童天生的语言学习能力。因此答案为A
