Judging from the 1 experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discove
2、r what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than 2 of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the
3、3 to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. 4 , some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the 5 of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these
4、sensitive periods are neglected, the 6 time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so 7 again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed s
5、equence and at a 8 age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like 9 ; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a 10 of three to
6、 fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.

The new protectionism, in fact, 14 to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade.

Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is an expression
11、 of a profound scepticism as to the ability of the market to 17 resources and incomes to societies“ satisfaction.“ It is 18 this profound scepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a 19 economy, economic change of various colours implies redistribution of resource

Your humour must be 22 to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or th
14、at you understand their situation and are in 23 with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the 24 methods of their secretaries; 25 if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comme
15、nt on their disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses“ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful 26 , beautiful gardens, sunny weather, a
16、nd so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a 27 for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the 28 of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. “Who is that?“ the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, t
17、hat“s God.“ came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he“s a doctor.“ Look for the humour. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar 29 “If at first you don“t succeed, give up“ or a play on words or on a situation. Search for 30 and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a fe

19、Western world in having a very 31 attitude to natural or alternative therapies, according to Dr. Paul Laver a lecturer in Public Heath at the University of Sydney. “We“ve had a tradition of doctors being 32 powerful and I guess they are pretty 33 to allow any pretenders to their position to come int
20、o it.“ In many other 34 countries orthodox and alternative medicine have worked “hand in glove“ for years. In Europe only orthodox doctors can 35 herbal medicine. In German, plant remedies 36 for 10% of the national turnover of pharmaceuticals. Americans made more visit to alternative therapists tha
21、n to orthodox doctors in 1990, and each year they spent about $US12 billion on therapies that have not been scientifically tested. Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has seen the 37 of alternative therapies in Australia climb steadily during the past 20 years. In a 1983 national health survey, 1.
22、9% of people said they had contacted a chiropractor, naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist or herbalist in the two weeks prior to the survey. By 1990, this figure had risen to 2.6% of the population. The 550,000 38 with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey represented about an eighth of
23、 the total number of consultations with medically qualified personnel covered by the survey, according to Dr. Laver and colleagues writing in the Australian Journal of Public Health in 1993. “A better educated and less accepting public has become 39 with the experts in general, and increasingly scep

32、”联系下一句“缺少的还有母亲细心的爱抚照顾”,该空所缺名词应该和 missing 为同义词,因此选 lack。解析:E解析 此处应填名词。再分析句意“没有母亲般的悉心照顾,尤其是在生命的第一年,婴儿活下去的 -|_|-会大大受损”,选项中 capacity“能力”符合句意。解析:I解析 此处应填副词。前一句意为“今天像弗雷德里克要求的那种严重缺乏照顾的情况已不复存在”,本句意为“有些孩子学说话仍然很慢”。前后两句存在转折关系,选项中 nevertheless 有“然而,不过”的意思,用在句中符合逻辑关系,consequently 表示“因此”应排除。解析:C解析 此处应填名词。本句意思是“多数
33、的原因是其母亲对婴儿发出的 -|_|-不敏感,而婴儿的大脑天生就能够迅速学习语言”,选项中 signals“信号”符合句意,而文章并没有特别提示是 cries“哭声”,因此选 signals。解析:A解析 此处应填形容词。根据句意“如果这些敏感期被忽略了,婴儿获得语言技能的 -|_|-时期过去了,他们可能就再也不能这么 -|_|-学会一门语言了”可知这一时期是较快较好学习语言的期间,选项中 ideal“理想的”符合句意。解析:O解析 此处应填副词。联系上一道题,本句大意为“如果这些敏感期被忽略了,婴儿获得语言技能的最佳时期过去了,他们可能就再也不能这么 -|_|-学会一门语言了”,最佳时期学习
34、语言肯定很快,且这个形容词和上一行 rapidly 应为同义词,选项中 easily 合适。解析:L解析 此处应填形容词。该句意为“专家认为学习语言的阶段是固定有序的,而且在 -|_|-年龄”,所缺形容词应该和 fixed 为同义词,而不是指 late“较晚的年纪”,选项中constant 表示“恒定的,固定的”,放在句中合适。解析:K解析 此处应填名词。该句意为“12 周时,婴儿学会笑并发出类似元音的 -|_|-”,选项中 sounds 表示“声音”,可以用形容词 vowel-like 修饰,dialects 意思是“方言”,应排除。解析:G解析 此处应填名词。该句意为“18 个月时 -|_
35、|-是 350 个词”,选项中vocabulary“词汇量”符合句意,而不是 memory“记忆”。In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the 11 sense of the term.

42、。且根据下文对新保护主义的定义,它指政府对私有经济的干预,“the whole of government intervention”,可推断此空应填 interventions“干预”。解析:F解析 此处应填动词。选项中有两个动词:refers 和 distribute。首先主语为单数名词,动词应加-s,排除 distribute。其次,这句话解释新保护主义的含义,refer to“指的是”,符合句意。解析:K解析 此空应填写名词。原句意为“西方世界新保护主义的 -|_|-反映了”,emergency“出现”符合原文。选项中名词,market“市场”,welfare“福利”,security
43、“安全”,insurance“保险”均与原文意思不相符。解析:D解析 此处应填形容词。As a -|_|- as well as an international.是并列结构,意为“不仅 -|_|-上,而且国际上也”,可知应选 national“国内的”。解析:H解析 此处应填动词。原文指出市场是否能够分配资源和收入,让社会满意。根据固定短语distribute to“分配”,可知应选 H。解析:O解析 此句为强调句,意为“正是对市场经济的怀疑导致保护主义的出现”。此空应填副词,选项中 significantly“重要地”与 precisely“精确地,恰恰”,后者更符合题意。解析:A解析 原
44、文始终讲述市场经济背景下的活动,可知此空应填 market“市场”。解析:J解析 此空应填连接词,需要把握上下文逻辑。前一句指出大多数人认为这种分配方式不合理。此句说明政府干预应运而生,以期带来满意的结果。可知应为顺承关系,所以选择 Therefore“因此”。If you intend using humour in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to 21 shared experiences and problems.
