The studys writer is Professor Anna Sosa. She leads the Child Speech and Language Lab at Northern Ari

16、zona University. She said, “Even if companies say that their toys are educational, theyre not teaching the babies anything at this time.”Anna Sosa and her team studied babies who were from 10 to 16 months old.The scientists listened to recordings of parents playing with their babies. The children us

17、ed electronic toys, traditional toys and books.What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys. Sosa says that the parents also responded(反應(yīng)) less and used fewer words when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important?She says

18、 research shows that how quickly children develop language often depended on what they hear from parents. When the babies played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. Sosa says parents talked a lot more when the babies played with traditional toys. Parents would describe the t

19、oys, name them and tell about their colors and shapes, as their children played. Parents even gave more information as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Sosa is not telling parents to throw out electronic toys. She believes that these electronic toys can provide entertainment(娛樂(lè)) for the

20、babies. But parents should not look at such play as a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study.She said, “It is important that parents make time to play with their children. Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only learning skills,

21、 but social and developmental skills.” She added that play should be balanced, including time for just “make-believe” activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.1（小題1）According to the study, electronic toys teach babies .Aa lot BlanguageCcolours Dnothing2（小題2）From this passage we can lea

To make the experience truly valuable,

24、 there has to be a purpose behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying (申請(qǐng)). Most universit

25、ies now require international students to pay for application. If you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad after considering these points, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and choose carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universit

26、ies have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths (強(qiáng)調(diào)不同的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)). Dont just think about the universitys reputation

27、(名聲); look for the most suitable for your purposes. Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This includes filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting recommendation letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great im

28、portance. Sadly, many fine applicants (申請(qǐng)者) get kicked out in the first round, simply because they dont follow the application procedure (程序) properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can

29、 be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.1According to the article, studying abroad is truly valuable because _.Ait is an interesting experience Ball your fri

When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, su

33、ch as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our

34、 brain develop.When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If

35、 we want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happe

36、ns, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause probl

37、ems with storing information. In addition, being tired will stop us from being able to remember well. As a result, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well.1How does peoples memory change when they get older?AThe short-term memory becomes stronger.BThe short-term memor

38、y becomes weaker.CThe long-term memory becomes stronger.DThe long-term memory becomes weaker.2According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT be remembered better in a short time?AA strange insect.BA colourful letter.CA dramatic event.DA boring talk.3When people try to remember the word smil

This is because they .Ause the link methodBconnect it with feelingsChave a good restDtake some notes4What SHOULD people do when they try to make their memory more efficient?AAlways do the same thin

However, it couldnt feel perfect because Peppers heal

42、th was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expectedshe was fourteenand yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.Probably it was Peppers last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Chri

43、stmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed it slowly. Our family was so happy.Pepper saw the other three presents, and then turned

44、 to Mom as if asking, May I open another?Go ahead, girl! Mom encouraged.For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a wholenot because we were in the same room or city, but because our love br

45、ought us together.Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.I still treasure (珍惜) Peppers final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holida

46、ys, the smallest act of sincere giving can unite our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.1The dog Pepper usually _ at Christmas.Achewed the dog treat slowlyBchose the presents for herselfCplayed with the authors family happilyDopened the presents for th

49、ortance of Helping OthersDEnjoying the Happiness of Making FriendsE17、In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd CDouglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried a person, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution wit

50、hout the person knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried person. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem

51、solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.This idea is popular today but in a different way. The phrase_is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to

52、 their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility(責(zé)任) which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Supp

53、ose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.You may never be able to repay her for such a gift.

54、 However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who cant afford their m

55、edicine or a doctors care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.1The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because _.Athey hadnt solved the problems thoroughlyBthey had solved the problems secretlyCthey were friends of the worri

56、ed individualDthey expected to be paid back in the future2The underlined word “pay it forward” means _.Ato repay someone who has helped youBto pay someone else who needs helpCto help someone who has helped youDto help someone else who needs help3What does the writer suggest with the example of “your

57、 elderly grandmother”?AWe should learn to respect our grandparents.BWe should work hard to get a good education.CWe should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.DWe should never forget to repay people for their help.4From the passage we know_.Aeverybody needs helpBmore children need help

58、than elderly peopleCit costs a lot of money to “pay it forward”Dnowadays many people help others without being repaidF18、There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is thegreater production of common energy sources(能源)， such as coal， oil and gas. The trou

59、ble with these sources， however， is that they are not renewable.Another way is energy conservation(節(jié)能)， which means using energy more efficiently(有效地).In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the h

60、ouse to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights， the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.Finally， renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop.One form of these is_In certain parts of the world the temperature of t
