They have 1 that babies learn much more from the sights

7、and sounds around them than we 2 before. You can help your baby by taking advantage of her hunger to learn. From the 3 beginning, babies try to imitate the 4 they hear us make. They “read“ the 5 on our faces and our movements. That is 6 it is so important to talk, sing and smile to your child. Heari

8、ng you talk is your baby“s first 7 toward becoming a reader, because it 8 her to love language and to learn words. As your child grows older, 9 talking with her. Ask her about the things she does. Ask her about the events and people in the story you 10 together. Let her know you are carefully 11 wha

Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person“s utilization does not redu

12、ce the possibilities of anybody else“s enjoying the same good. Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefitirrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the

13、 dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational proposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expend

14、itures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded. It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens

15、for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.（分数：12.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：3.00）A.Mechanisms for safer navigation

16、B.The economic structure of the marketplace.C.A specific group of commodities.D.The advantages of lowering taxes.(2).Which of the following would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage?（分数：3.00）A.A taxi.B.A bridge.C.A fire truck.D.A stoplight.(3).According to the passage, fin

17、ding out the social costs of a public good is a _.（分数：3.00）A.difficult procedureB.daily administrative dutyC.matter of personal judgementD.citizen“s responsibility(4).Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first two paragraphs?（分数：3.00）A.Suggestions for the applicat

18、ion of an economic concept are offered.B.Several generalizations are presented from which various conclusions are drawn.C.Persuasive language is used to argue against a popular idea.D.A general concept is defined and then examples are given.六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)We can make mistakes at any ag

19、e. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when w

20、e look back, it“s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don“t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You“re a lucky dog.“ That“s being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Th

21、ere“s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn“t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn“t think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means anoth

22、er. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn“t important. It“s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven“t got a date for Saturd

23、ay night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone“s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real

24、 meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that _.（分数：3.00）A.we fail to listen carefully when they talkB.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC.people usually state one thing but m

25、ean anotherD.we tend to doubt what our friends say(2).In the sentence “Maybe he doesn“t see it himself“ in paragraph 2, the pronoun “it“ refers to _.（分数：3.00）A.being friendlyB.a bit of envyC.lucky dogD.your luck(3).When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to _.（分数

26、3.00）A.notice the way the person is talkingB.take a good look at the person talkingC.mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD.examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture(4).The author most probably is a _.（分数：3.00）A.teacherB.psychologistC.philo

27、sopherD.doctor七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings (误解)? Little wonder. We often believe we“re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his

28、recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here“s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1)Don“t trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh

29、 to be polite or move the conversation along. But it“s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2)Train the editor (编辑) in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,“ it“s not clear whether she“s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to h

30、er husband about her problems.“ or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.“ (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.“ Questions like “How does that sound?“ or “Does that make sense?“ may also work. (4)Listen we

31、ll. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you“re on the same page. After all, it isn“t just the speaker“s job to make his speech understood.（分数：12.00）(1).Why does the writer give us the advice?（分数：3.00）A.We“re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.B.Misunderstanding is damaging o

32、ur normal lives.C.Misunderstanding occurs now and then.D.It“s impolite to say NO to others.(2).The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should _.（分数：3.00）A.know that listeners will show him that they understand his wordsB.express himself clearly even when he sees signs of underst

33、andingC.notice listener“s signs of understandingD.look directly into his listener“s eyes(3).By Train the editor in your head, the speakers are advised _.（分数：3.00）A.to get themselves trained by a good editorB.to discuss problems with their husbands or wivesC.to express themselves in long but simple s

34、entencesD.to make sure each sentence has only one meaning(4).In the last paragraph, the words “you“re on the same page“ mean that _.（分数：3.00）A.you“re following the speaker closelyB.you“re reading the same page as the speaker doesC.you should know which page the speaker refers toD.your story is writt

35、en on the same page as the speaker“s八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago, news of important happeningsbattles

36、 lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killedtook months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen. Apart fro

37、m supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to

38、 bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from adver

39、tisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.（分数：12.00）(1).In the past, news was _.（分数：3.00）A.sent by telegraphB.sent by letterC.passed from one person to anotherD.sent by telephone(2).The money spent on advertisements is _.（分数：3.00）A.wastedB.n
