1、成人本科学位英语 13及答案解析(总分：44.00，做题时间：120 分钟)一、Part I Reading Co(总题数：3，分数：3.00)By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the child
2、rens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as
3、 the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The paren
4、ts in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the childre
5、n in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.

10、eem six months olderTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient
11、times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C. We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East In ancient
12、times, the umbrella was allowed-to be used only by royal people or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protec
13、tion against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they hav
14、e become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors. （分数：1.00）(1).The first use of umbrella was as_.（分数：0.20）A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of powerD.a symbol of honor(2)._were regarded as t

17、the best title for the passage?（分数：0.20）A.When Was the Umbrella InventedB.The Role of Umbrella in HistoryC.The Colors and Shapes of UmbrellaD.Who Needed Umbrella FirstWe use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in differe
18、nt ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably
19、because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.
20、However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise“ can be described in a phrase like they stretched out their tongues! Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the
21、same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand
22、body language than younger people do. （分数：1.00）(1).According to the passage, _.（分数：0.20）A.we can hardly understand what peoples gestures meanB.we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC.words can be better understood by older peopleD.gestures ca
