12、ng（C） having started（D）having been started30 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 childrens language development.
13、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 the control group. In the e
14、xperimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask openended 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 parents in the experimental group
15、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 children in the experimental group sh
16、owed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.31 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（A）Children who ta
17、lk a lot are more intelligent.（B） Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.（C） Active children should read more and be given more attention.（D）Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.32 What does “It“ in Line 2 can most probably be replaced by?（A）Parents increasing
18、 childrens language development.（B） Reading techniques being simple.（C） Parents reading to children.（D）Childrens intelligence development.33 According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?（A）Do you see the elephant?（B） Is the elephant in the cage?（C）
19、 What animals do you like?（D）Shall we go to the zoo?34 The difference between the control group and the experimental group was_.（A）the training that parents received（B） the age of the children（C） the books that were read（D）the number of the children35 The best conclusion we can draw from the passage
20、 is that_.（A）parents should be trained to read to their children（B） the more children read, the more intelligent they will become（C） childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively（D）children who read actively seem six months old35 Traditionally, universities have carri
21、ed out two main activities; research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing
22、pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers“(象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical sk
23、ills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, manag
24、ers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.
25、 In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.36 We can know fr
26、om the first paragraph that the author_.（A）believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the community（B） believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society（C） thinks some experts require too much of universities（D）thinks universities should do mor
27、e than just research and teach37 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that_.（A）society is not satisfied with the present college education（B） interference from the government is unwelcome（C） teachers are forced to do what they dont like to do（D）its a mistake for universities to teach courses
28、 of no commercial use38 The example of Aristotle indicates that_.（A）universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates（B） universities should stop teaching philosophy（C） high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities（D）universities should put more stress
29、on computer science39 According to the passage, literature, music and the arts_.（A）contribute directly to economic growth（B） are as necessary to man as medical and social services（C） are justified since they bring profits（D）are a good way of earning money40 The author implies that_.（A）economy should
30、 always be a nations first consideration（B） universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses they will offer（C） successful musical plays are part of national economy（D）economic growth is not the only need of mankind40 I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect
31、to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if its given from the heart. When people are talking, theres no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring
32、about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us dont value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “Im so sorry.“ when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people
33、often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move th
34、e focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them
35、 out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because the
36、y were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.41 What does the author value most in the communication with each other?（A）Deep understanding.（B） Saying “Im sorry“.（C） Attention from heart.（D）Doing nothi
37、ng.42 The womans patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.（A）she didnt get enough respect from others（B） she was discouraged by being often interrupted（C） people often told her their own opinions（D）people couldnt understand her sad situation43 If you hand a handkerchief to someone c
38、rying, you may_.（A）hurt his feelings（B） make him embarrassed（C） encourage him to continue to cry（D）stop him from letting out his sorrow44 It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, _.（A）listening is a perfect way to respond to others（B） people keep silent because they dont know th
39、e answer（C） keeping silent means being too shy to speak（D）it is easy to form the habit of listening silently45 Which of the following might be the authors opinion about communication?（A）Keep silent.（B） Just listen.（C） Be careful.（D）Tell your own story.45 There is a definite possibility that the clim
40、ate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling.Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or s
41、o may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns
42、change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding.What regulates the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar
43、 heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that mans industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening
44、to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the worlds population.46 According to the text, the climate of the world seems to_.（A）be getting colder（B） be getting warmer（C） remain the same in the past ten years（D）have good effects on the worlds population47 According to what you h
45、ave read, which of the following is TRUE?（A）Mans activities have no effect on the climate.（B） Another ice age will come soon.（C） People dont care about the changing climate.（D）Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate.48 A meteorologist is a person who_.（A）reads weather f
46、orecasts on radio or television（B） thinks there will be another ice age（C） studies and knows about the weather（D）believes there will be widespread flooding49 Which of the following may be factors that affect the natural weather patterns?（A）Clouds.（B） The amount of heat the earth receives.（C） Mans in
47、dustrial and agricultural methods.（D）All of the above.50 The best title for the text would be_.（A）Droughts and Floods（B） Meteorologists（C） Changing Climate（D）Solar Heat二、Cloze50 One British school is finding that allowing children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while studying is helpin
