25、nts五、BSection Readi(总题数：4，分数：20.00)BPassage 1/BLanguage, like food, is a basic human need without which a child in a critical period of life can be starved and damaged. Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be so. Hoping to discover what language a child

26、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 language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive i

27、s seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most of the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these se

28、nsitive 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 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

29、 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 baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he h

30、as a vocabulary of three to 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.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man s

31、 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 “toy-bear“. And even more incredible is the young brain s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to a

32、nalyze, 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 child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child s babbling, grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mothe

33、r to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.（分数：5.00）(1).The purpose of Frederick s experiment was _ .（分数：1.00）A.to prove that

34、children are born with ability to speakB.to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speechC.to find out what role careful nursing would play in reaching child to speakD.to prove that a child can be damaged without learning a language(2).The reason some children are backw

35、ard in speaking is most probably that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they are incapable of learning language rapidlyB.they are exposed to too much language at onceC.their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speakD.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them(3).What is exceptionally remarkable

36、 about a child is that _ .（分数：1.00）A.he is born with the capacity to speakB.he has a brain more complex than an animal sC.he can produce his own sentencesD.he owes his speech ability to good nursing(4).Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?（分数：1.00）A.The faculty of speech is in

37、born 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 learn language in definite stages.(5).If a child starts to speak later than others, he will _ in future.（分数：1.00）A.have a high IQB.be less intelligentC.be ins

38、ensitive to verbal signalsD.not necessarily be backwardBPassage 2/BIn the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profound

39、ly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk“. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common t

40、alk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hale, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (133%) of other people s lives.Like Jerry Spri

41、nger, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Com

42、pared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word“. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, t

43、he Oprah show is not for everyone. The show s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18-t

44、o-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show s exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years n

45、ow. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.（分数：5.00）(1).Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _ .（分数：1.00）A.more fam

46、ily-orientedB.unusually popularC.more profoundD.relatively formal(2).Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _ .（分数：1.00）A.remain fascinated to themB.are ready to face up to themC.remain indifferent to themD.are willing to get involved in them(3).Which

47、of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?（分数：1.00）A.A new type of robot.B.Racist hatred.C.Family budget planningD.Street violence.(4).Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both _ . A. ironical R. sensitive C. instructive D. cynical（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).W

48、e can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _ .（分数：1.00）A.have monopolized the talk show circuitB.exploit the weaknesses in human natureC.appear at different times of the dayD.are targeted at different audiencesBPassage 3/BThis kind of complex meaning expressed in written language soon becomes a fish out of water. The complexity of spoken language is more like that
