8.If you want to help children develop language and speech skills,UCLA researchers say,listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
   The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone,the researchers found."Adults speaking to children helps language develop,but what matters much more is the interaction,"said the study's lead author,F(xiàn)rederick Zimmerman,an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California,Los Angeles.The researchers also found that TV viewing didn't have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn't displacing conversations between an adult and a child.
   The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old.They represented a variety of incomes and education.The researchers found that,in an average day,children heard about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.
   Assessed separately,factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone,TV was negatively associated with language development.But,when the three factors were analyzed together,the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
"The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult,the better idea a parent has about where the child is,"Zimmerman said."Although it's mostly done unconsciously,parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They'll alsotailor their speech to the child.Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they're doing,such as,‘I'm putting on your pajamas now'.But give your child the opportunity to talk,hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment,"she added."If parents can carve out some conversation time-maybe at bath time or at dinner time-that's a wonderful thing."
56.The researchers also found that TV viewingB.
A.could have a positive effect on a child's language development
B.had a little effect on a child's language development
C.a(chǎn)ffected a child's language development more negatively than positively
D.a(chǎn)ffected a child's language development both negatively and positively
57.Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree thatB.
A.parents should let their children talk most of the time
B.the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
C.children should watch TV programs selectively
D.it's no good for parents to correct their children's mistakes when they are  speaking
58.We can conclude from the last paragraph thatD.
A.parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B.bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C.parents should leave a child talking alone  
D.parent child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
59.What would be the best title for the passage?C
A.Let your children voice their own opinions
B.How to develop a child's language ability  
C.Talk with kids,not at them
D.The importance of early child language development

分析 本文是一篇科普文.研究發(fā)現(xiàn),父母和孩子之間的交談對(duì)孩子語(yǔ)言的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要,這種交談必須是雙向的、互動(dòng)的.

解答 56-60.BBDCA
56題:選B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第二段最后一句"The researchers also found that TV viewing didn't have much of an effect-positively or negatively-as long as it wasn't displacing conversations between an adult and a child."研究者還發(fā)現(xiàn)看電視對(duì)孩子語(yǔ)言的發(fā)展沒(méi)有多少影響,無(wú)論是積極的還是消極的.可知本題答案為B選項(xiàng).
57題:選B.推理判斷題.從文章第二段內(nèi)容可知,Zimmerman強(qiáng)調(diào)父母跟孩子之間交談的雙向性和互動(dòng)性才是更重要的.故本題答案為B選項(xiàng).
58題:選D.推理判斷題.從文章最后一段可知,父母應(yīng)該隨時(shí)創(chuàng)造跟孩子交談的機(jī)會(huì),時(shí)間的選擇是非常靈活的.故本題答案為D選項(xiàng).
59題:選C.主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容分析,文章強(qiáng)調(diào)父母和孩子之間的交流,而且強(qiáng)調(diào)交流的互動(dòng)性,因此A項(xiàng)符合文章的主旨.
60題:選A.詞義理解題.根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)和語(yǔ)境分析,此處tailor是動(dòng)詞,本義是"量體裁衣",此處的意思是"不斷調(diào)整以適應(yīng)".故答案為D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科教類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì) 性找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.

19.When you make a mistake,big or small,cherish it like it's the most precious thing in the world.Because in some ways,it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes,beat ourselves up about it,feel like failures,get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural:most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad,that we should try to avoid mistakes.We've been scolded when we make mistakes-at home,school and work.Maybe not always,but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes,we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way,mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world:they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error-trying things,making mistakes,and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light,to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,make speech possible,make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn:we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it.You don't just read about painting,or writing,or computer programming,or baking,or playing the piano,and know how to do them right away.Instead,you get information about something,from reading or from another person or from observing,then you make mistakes and repeat,making mistakes,learning from those mistakes,until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers,and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed at something,it's probably something you already knew how to do.You haven't really grown much from that success-at most it's the last step on your journey,not the whole journey.Most of the journey was made up of mistakes,if it's a good journey.
So if you value learning,if you value growing and improving,then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

56.Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?A
A.Because we've been taught so from a young age.
B.Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
C.Because it's a natural part in our life.
D.Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.
57.According to the passage,what is the right attitude to mistakes?C
A.We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B.We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C.We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D.We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
58.The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansD.
A.a(chǎn) school teenager learning to write     
B.a(chǎn) kindergarten child learning to draw
C.a(chǎn) primary pupil learning to read       
D.a(chǎn) small child learning to walk
59.We can learn from the passage thatB.
A.most of us can really grow from success
B.growing and improving are based on mistakes
C.we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D.we read about something and know how to do it right away.

13.Speaking in his first National Day Rally speech on 15August,Prime Minister Lee Hsien said Singapore's education system was set for more reforms in the years ahead,particularly for the primary and secondary education.Read the summary of his thoughts on education below.
For a start,the Government is prepared to send and additional 3,000teachers to Singapore schools,cut the courses of study even further and change the way the mother tongue,especially Chinese,is taught.But,for the changes to be successful,parents need to help.
Singapore has a devoted group of teachers and principals and quite a few of them are outstanding,but the Republic's schools can be even better.To help the schools make a jump in quality,the Government plans that within the next 6years,it will send 1,000more teachers to primary schools,1,400to secondary schools and 550more to junior colleges.Each school would decide how to use its extra teachers.Some may want to make classes smaller so students get more individual attentions while others may have new teachers assist more senior teachers,but the overall goal is to give teachers the time and space to come up with ways to bring out the best in their students.
More teachers must not mean more homework,however.In fact,the Prime Minister wants to see the courses cut down so that there is less pressure on the students.Good grades are important but they should not be the only goal students have.PM Lee is convinced that"we must teach less so that our children can learn more."
Another change will be in the teaching of the mother tongue so that students can become more fluent.The key is to teach Chinese as a living language not just an academic subject like Latin.Therefore,the focus should be on speaking and reading the language.To do this,there must be an environment outside the classroom that is contributing to strengthening the Chinese lessons.

43.The text is mainly aboutA in Singapore.
A.the education reform     
B.a(chǎn)dding more teachers
C.the mother tongue     
D.ways of teaching

20.Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes.
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality."Shoes serve a practical purpose,and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages.People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person's general age,their gender,income,political affiliation(派別),and other personality characteristics,including someone's emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
So,what do your shoes say about your personality?
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).
However,some of the more specific results are interesting.For example,"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"agreeable"people,while ankle boots were more closely aligned with"aggressive"personalities.
The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities.
And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take eexceptional care of them,you may suffer from"attachment anxiety",spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.
28.We can infer from Paragraph 2thatD.
A.shoes are vital to their wearers
B.a(chǎn) practical purpose is to wear shoes
C.people want to buy new shoes they pay attention to
D.shoes may give away their wearers'information
29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?D
A.People with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.
B.Ankle boots are closely aligned with"aggressive"personalities.
C.People wearing"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to be calm
D.People who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with
30.The underlined word"attachment anxiety",probably meansC.
A.Attached happiness to one's personality.
B.Feeling always worried about everything.
C.Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.
D.Wasting an inordinate amount of time.

17.At first,the earth's surface layer(層) was made up of huge blocks of hard,solid rocks.Then slowly,there rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces.Finally stones,pebble(卵石)and grains of sand were formed.Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth.Their remains mixed up with the stones,pebbles and  formed soil.The outmost layer of the earth is soil.
There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones.Wind,water,heat and cold help to break up rocks.When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time,the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away.These leave holes and cracks in the rock,which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.
The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks.As the water moves along,it carries with it small pieces of rock.These rub the larger ones.Thus,the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.
The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks.When the sun shines,the rocks become very hot.If these rocks are suddenly cooled,they may crack.Ice also plays a part in making soil.Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather.As this happens,it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider,and finally break into smaller pieces.

C.Sharp changes in temperature.
D.More dead plants in the cracks.
15.Which of the following is NOT true?B
A.The remains of many plants of animals formed soil.
B.If a large rock never moves,it will never break up.
C.Even if a large rock never moves,it will break up.
D.Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.
