26、dren s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s language skills increase.A study was done with 30
27、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 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
28、 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 were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beg
29、inning 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 showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental g
30、roup still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.46 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（A）Children who talk 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 mo

34、 s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively（D）children who read actively seem six months old50 To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primari
35、ly on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship“ to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of con
36、sumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, th
37、e makers and dealers first endeavor(努力) to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to
38、every business transaction the firm and the customerand each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers, A striking example of the importance of catering to the consu
39、mer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration(恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!51 The marketing co
40、ncept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _.（A）the practice of turning goods into money（B） making goods available for purchase（C） the customer-centered approach（D）a form of persuasive salesmanship52 What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?（A）
41、The needs of the market.（B） The efficiency of production.（C） The satisfaction of the user.（D）The preferences of the dealer.53 According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible“ ( Para. 1 ) means _ .（A）to sell the largest possible amount of goods（B） to transport goods as efficient
42、ly as possible（C） to dispose of these goods in large quantities（D）to redesign these goods for large-scale production54 What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?（A）Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.（B） It takes time for a new product to be accepte
43、d by the public.（C） Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.（D）Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.55 In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on_.（A）its main characteristic（B） its social impact（C） its possible consequence（D）its theoret
44、ical basis55 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types o
45、f questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great
46、deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as “nature/nurture“.Those who support the “nature“ side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has littl
47、e, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Proponents of the “nurture“ theory, or as they are
48、 often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists view of the human b
49、eing is quite mechanistic. They maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy
