Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then, they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.
The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.
小题1:What does the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories prove?
(no more than 5 words)
小题2:In the passage, what factors are mentioned that influence intelligence development in babies?
(no more than 8 words)
小题3:Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
(no more than 11 words)
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
(no more than 8 words)
答案
小题1:Babies can learn before born.
小题2:The environment, mother’s sensitivity and education before birth.
小题3:The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
小题4:Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
解析
试题分析:本文主要讲述了婴幼儿的智力发育情况,通过两个实验表明:婴儿在生命的第一天就可以开始学习,母亲的情感能强烈地影响孩子的社会发展和语言技巧。影响婴幼儿智力发育的因素有:the environment,education before birth,mother’s sensitivity三个方面。
小题1:第三段开头提到One study shows that babies can learn before they are born。然后开始描述讲实验的过程一直到第四段结束。放一个设备在刚出生第一天的婴儿嘴边,嘴朝向一个方向是播放在妈妈肚子时听过的故事,朝向另一面时放不同的故事。结果婴儿会动嘴以便一遍又一遍地听听过的故事。由此判断:新生儿听故事的实验就证明了婴儿在出生之前就会学习。
小题2:通读全文可以看到影响婴儿智力发育的三个因素依次提到并详细描述实验的经过。
1. The environment;2. education before birth;3. mother’s sensitivity
小题3:从文章的最后两段可以看出,如果母亲意志消沉,对自己的孩子关心甚少,那么孩子在智力和语言方面的发育就会比其他孩子差。所以:The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children did the worst in tests of language skills.
小题4:文章第一段提到:人们认为婴儿直到五到六个月时才能学东西。但是美国的医生们说婴儿在它生命的第一天就开始学习了。然后通过实验研究来证明关于婴儿智力发育的情况。

Learning inside the museum
Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users,especially school children.Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum;others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions,databases,handling collections and museum staff.
In an ideal world,every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist.He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections,and a strong feeling to help people especially children use and learn from them.
A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning,and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and-presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is,indeed,the only professional interpreter in the museum.
It is clearly reasonable,therefore,for the museum to make full use of the education specialist"s skills,and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions.Museum learning is not just about teaching children,though children may be its principal audience.
Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own.For them,there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum,perhaps for two or three years,who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context: another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community-perhaps retired teacher,or teachers not presently working who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship:a large company might be willing to finance the appointment an education specialist for a few years.
An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools.He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it,and that the museum staff know about development in the school.Above all,it is their responsibility to find out what schools want and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements.There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum:the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching;teachers need to learn how the museum could help,and what resources they could use.
The look of wonder on a child"s face can be the reward for a lifetime"s work in museums.The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people ----whether children or adults---and objects;and not to teach facts,but to sow(播)a seed of interest,a spark(火花)of inspiration.
