24、ged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover 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 lack of langua
25、ge here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason
26、for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly
27、 at the 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 sequence and at a constant 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
28、 baby smiles and makes vowel like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can puts into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his
29、 parents in style rather than grammar. Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man“s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy bear with the sound pattern
30、 toy bear“. And even more incredible is the young brain“s ability to pick out an group in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways. But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the
31、child, where the mother recognize the signals in the child“s babbling (咿呀学语), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only tile obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child“s non-verb
32、al signals is essential to the growth and development of language.（分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of Frederick “s experiment was _.（分数：2.00）A.to prove that children are born with the ability to speakB.to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speechC.to find out what role car
33、eful nursing would play in teaching a child to speakD.to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language(2).The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that _.（分数：2.00）A.they are incapable of learning language rapidlyB.they are exposed to too much language at o
34、nceC.their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speakD.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them(3).What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that _.（分数：2.00）A.he is born with the capacity to speakB.he has a brain more complex than an animal“sC.he can produce his own
35、 sentencesD.he owes his speech ability to good nursing(4).Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The faculty of speech is inborn in man.B.Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning.C.The child“s brain is highly selective.D.Most children le
36、arn their language in definite stages.(5).If a child starts to speak later than others, he will in future _.（分数：2.00）A.have a high IQB.be less intelligentC.be insensitive to verbal signalsD.not necessarily be backward八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from f
37、ood helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. All foods contain water cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty
38、it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria (细菌) which cause food to go bad is checked. Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110 at entry to ab
39、out 43 at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish. Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. I
40、n the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Dried foods take up less room and weight less than the same food pack
41、ed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.（分数：10.00）(1).The chie
42、f point of the second paragraph is about _.（分数：2.00）A.the comparison of lean meat and fishB.the removal of water in foodC.the water content in foodD.the relationship between water and food(2).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the rattier fish contain as much water as the lean one
43、sB.the fattier the fish is, the more water it may containC.a fatty fish holds less water than a lean oneD.the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat(3).The word “conventional“ in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by _.（分数：2.00）A.creativeB.scientificC.usual and
44、acceptableD.not common(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true about drying food?（分数：2.00）A.the removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.B.The open- air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.C.In the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot curre
45、nt coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.D.The process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.(5).The last paragraph tends to discuss _.（分数：2.00）A.the reason why housewives like dried foodB.the general convenience of dried foodC.the methods of storing foodD.t
46、he advantages of dried, canned and frozen food九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood pressure is, in part, a family disease. Since families have similar genes as well as similar environment, family diseases could be due to shared genetic influences, to shared
47、environmental factors, or to both. For some years, the role of one“s environmental factor commonly shared by families, namely, dietary salt, has been studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These studies suggest that chronic excess salt ingestion can lead to high blood pressure in man and animals
48、. Some individuals, however, and some rats consume large amounts of salt without developing high blood pressure. No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments, some salt-fed animals never develop hypertension whereas a few rapidly developed very severe hyperte
49、nsion followed by early death. These marked variations were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution. By mating in successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion, a resistant strain (the “R“ strain) has been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood pressure significantly. In contrast, by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt, a sensitive strain (“S“ strain) has also been developed. The availability of
