Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.10 In the same way that a
7、child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning
8、takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning.“ This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mothers face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns tha
9、t this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called “operant( 动作的 )conditioning.“ This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishme
10、nts. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.11 The main purpose of this passage is to

15、egular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth
16、and runs for 30 hours or more per week.Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. “This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail,“ contends Jay
17、Belsky, a psychologist.The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in their homes and v
18、ideotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6, and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness.

24、 and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is full of examples.In 1870
25、, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer prob
26、ably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic mm of mind. Had they been “economists“, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that would be only a matter of
27、 time before steam would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.21 Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?（A）Old
