阅读理解。     Rivers are one of our most important natural resources (自然资源). Many of the world"s great cities
are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an
important part in the lives of its people.
     Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the
United States is the Mississipi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great,
but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers
are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海),
however, is the Amazon in Brazil (巴西). It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two
thousand miles upon it.
     Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun
and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for
crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then
people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes
and industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As
the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted
with chemicals and other materials. {people are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep
their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of this natural resource.

阅读理解。     It is common to believe that  learning  just takes  place in school, but much of human learning happens
outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
     Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in
their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are  likely  to  be punished. They learn social skills for  communicating  with other
children. After they finish school,  people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives,  such
as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
     Because learning continues  throughout our lives  and affects almost  everything we do,  the study of
learning  is  important  in many different fields.  Teachers need to understand  the  best ways to  educate
children.  Scientists,  social workers  and other human service workers need to  understand how certain
experiences change people"s behaviors.
     Learning is closely related (相关的) to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain (大脑). Scientists who study memory  are interested in how the brain stores knowledge,  where this storage takes
place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it. However, scientists who study learning
are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person"s experiences. ?1. The underlined word "siblings" in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. teachers    
B. classmates    
C. doctors    
D. brothers or sisters2. When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?A. After they go into society.        
B. Before they enter school.
C. When they are at school.          
D. Before they are born.3. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. As a matter of fact, learning begins at a person"s birth and last the whole life.
B. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students.
C. People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors.
D. Social workers need to study how experiences affect people"s thoughts.

阅读理解。     Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby"s cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
     Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study.  Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they
can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
    The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including
babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies" cries.
    The volunteers" scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had
similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
    "Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford"s
psychiatry(精神病学) department, who led the study. "For example, it"s almost impossible to ignore(忽视,不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around."  
     He added that a baby"s cry can increase adults" heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable,
because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job
for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and
bodies develop a special reaction to a baby"s cry.  1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
B. The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
C. Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
D. The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby"s cry.2. The game "whack-a-mole" shows ______.A. a baby"s cry can get special attention from adults
B. men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
C. adults without babies react less quickly to a baby"s cry
D. women react to a baby"s cry more quickly than men3. "Whack-a-mole" requires people to hit _____ at a time.A. one button
B. one of nine buttons
C. nine buttons
D. ten buttons 4. According to the passage, a baby"s cry ______.A. has the same pitch as birdsong
B. is the noisiest sound there is
C. can increase adults" heart rate and blood pressure
D. is good for its health5. From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.A. taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
B. human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
C. baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
D. baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution
