题型:不详难度:来源:
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited (遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play — the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
But at the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed — to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don"t know how much we depend on them until we don"t have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn"t snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.
The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it"s needed. Here"s how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life.
_________________. A true friend doesn"t flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn"t mean the person has to.
Friendships fade away if there isn"t an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren"t being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can"t offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don"t step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you"ll need to talk the situation through.
1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.
2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (Within 10 words)
3. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (Within 10 words)
4. What do you think the author will go on talking about if the passage continues?(Within 10 words)
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock(家畜).During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.
People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.
House building becomes a great challenge(挑战)to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.
小题1:What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?
A.The climate of their areas. |
B.The energy for their houses. |
C.The fashions for their houses. |
D.The building materials for their houses. |
A.keeping their livestock downstairs |
B.protecting their livestock from the cold |
C.sharing their houses only with their cows |
D.living on the second floor with their livestock |
A.heat raises the temperature in the houses |
B.heat goes in the upward direction |
C.heat goes up if temperature is raised |
D.heat increases the temperature of rocks |
A.people will no longer consider building materials in the future |
B.energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future |
C.almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks |
D.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology. |
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly with out words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critechley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “ There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expression. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronies and when we like the other person, we ever copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting— it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “ Spend time with happy people— otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley.” When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”
小题1: According to Hugo Critchley, ________.
A.emotions are as visible as facial expressions |
B.we yawn more frequently when we have a cold |
C.emotions are connected with states of internal responses |
D.the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions. |
A.move slowly | B.change rapidly | C.relax temporarily | D.respond accordingly |
A.sadness is as contagious as happiness |
B.anger is less contagious than friendliness |
C.surprise is more contagious than smile |
D.surprise is the most contagious among emotions |
A.Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans. |
B.Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans. |
C.Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning |
D.People tend to communicate more with body language. |
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
小题1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A.for you to make more and more new friends |
B.to begin your business talks |
C.to get the conversation going smoothly |
D.for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others |
A.make clear what kind of person he is |
B.listen to his reply attentively |
C.wait quietly and patiently for his answer |
D.go on asking him more questions |
A.are good at making any topic interesting |
B.never talk too much or too little |
C.always speak in a gentle way |
D.know how and when they should change the topic of the talk |
A.you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend |
B.it seems necessary for you to let him know it |
C.it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake |
D.it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him |
