on Friday.The research，believed to be the first of its kind，found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk，laugh and interact with their parents.The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile，facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half.Parents using face­to­face buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep，an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.In addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an away­facing buggy.“Our data suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful.Stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk，Developmental Psychologist at Scotlands Dundee University who carried out the research.The study，which was published by National Literacy Trust as part of its “Talk To Your Baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in away­facing buggies.Zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies development if they spent a long time in away­facing buggies，which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers should look closely at the findings.1Using away­facing buggies may_.Abenefit both the babies and their parentsBaffect babies language ability permanentlyChelp babies communicate with their parentsDhave positive effect on babies development2Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AParents may talk twice with the babies in away­facing buggies.BThe study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.CThe samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in

failure以失敗告終。3A隨著年齡的增長，你會獲得更多經(jīng)驗。4Abe/get caught in是固定搭配，指“突然碰上；突然遭受”，多用于被動結(jié)構(gòu)。5C整個地區(qū)被大雪封閉了。cut off使 (人、城鎮(zhèn)、地區(qū))封閉孤立。6DA、B項為及物動詞，不符合題意，manage不符合題意；react回應(yīng)。7C根據(jù)前面的looked here and there判斷，我們的老師“好像”在找東西，所以用as if。8C考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據(jù)這兩個學(xué)生現(xiàn)在正站在老師辦公室門口，可知現(xiàn)在正在受罰，從而推斷在課上小聲說話發(fā)生在過去。9B考查形容詞辨析。particular挑剔的。be particularabout對挑剔的。special特殊的，特別的，專用的；unusual不同尋常的，獨特的；especial特別的，特殊的。10D考查倍數(shù)的表達和省略。根據(jù)句子所要表達的含義，but后補充完整為：but is three times as expensive as ours/our apartment。11B考查would rather的用法。would rather意為“寧愿，寧可”，后接動詞原形，故選B。12B考查短語辨析。cut off切斷。句意為：由于修路，電流被切斷了，整座大樓一片漆黑。cut up切碎；cut out切去，省略，停止；cut down砍倒，削減，刪節(jié)。13Alead/live a simple/easy/hard life過生活，當life有定語修飾時，前面要用a限定；make a/ones fortunemake money發(fā)財致富。14B考查介詞的用法及非謂語動詞的用法。介詞by表程度，reaching短語在句中作結(jié)果狀語。不定式也可作結(jié)果狀語，但常與only或just連用，表示一種意想不到的結(jié)果。15Bonly to do sth.表示意想不到的結(jié)果。.完形填空【語篇解讀】這是一篇記敘文。圣誕節(jié)前夕，Carl Fenter到處尋找玉米粉蒸肉，終于在一家店找到了玉米粉蒸肉。等待的時候，他在寒風(fēng)中脫下自己的外套給一個同樣在等待的母親穿上，而這一善舉使他得到了回報：這位女士后來專程給他家送去了他要買而沒買到的玉米粉蒸肉。1B從語境的連貫判斷選B，Carl Fenter說，家里是溫暖的，可是在這里，早晨的寒風(fēng)冷得很不正常。2A在這寒冷的日子，晚上在教堂做完圣誕節(jié)前夕的禮拜后回家和家人一起享受玉米粉蒸肉的盛宴，這樣的點子或想法應(yīng)該用brilliant來描述。a brilliant idea：絕妙的想法/主意。3A從語境的連貫看，本題用were：誰能想到，城里的玉米粉蒸肉在圣誕節(jié)前夕都賣完了呢？可是這些玉米粉蒸肉的確被賣完了。4B在幾家店鋪都沒有買到玉米粉蒸肉，而他下定決心一定要買一份帶回家，于是他開車跑遍了El Paso，并來到這最后一家賣玉米粉蒸肉的店鋪。5D語境提到“45分鐘之后，從鍋上下來”，可見此處表示這家店鋪的玉米粉蒸肉再過45分鐘就能出鍋了，用(be)due表示“預(yù)期發(fā)生”。6C這里用take ones place表示“就位，就座”：于是，他在人群后面開始排隊等候購買。7D從語境的連貫判斷選D，remove“移開，脫下，去掉”：他注意到，在他前面的那位女士把自己的外套脫下來，給自己凍得發(fā)抖的孩子披上。8C沒過多久，這位母親自己也凍得瑟瑟發(fā)抖。這里用shake表示“發(fā)抖”，與前面的shivering呼應(yīng)，而freeze表示“凍僵”，不符合語境敘述的排隊買東西的場景。9C從語境和選項判斷選C“猶豫，遲疑”：看見這番情景，Carl Fenter遲疑片刻，將自己的外套脫下來，遞給這位母親。10A面對這樣的情景，這位母親當然是非常感激，而不是B.讓人尊敬的C.絕望的D.羞愧的。11A當隊伍開始向前移動(玉米粉蒸肉終于出鍋了)，微笑的人們帶著熱騰騰的玉米粉蒸肉走出店鋪，他們一起歡呼雀躍。12D前面的人群終于散盡，輪到他購買了。13D他走進店鋪，向柜臺慢慢地挪過去。shoulder ones way擠著(人群)前進，force ones way用力擠過去，feel ones way摸索著走，inch ones way小心地、慢慢地挪動。顯然這里選D表示慢慢地往前挪動，符合人們排隊買東西時的場景。14B他在寒風(fēng)中排隊等待了很長時間，輪到他買的時候，玉米粉蒸肉卻賣完了，此時的他當然很沮喪，因此選B。No way用來表示驚訝或不相信，意為“不會吧！不可能！”。15A他后面還有人在排隊，因此選A。他在抱怨的時候，身后其他排隊等候的人也跟著一起抱怨。line up“排除等待”，符合語境。wait up一般指“熬夜等待”。16B此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折含義，雖然這一爐玉米粉蒸肉賣完了，可是你要是再等兩個小時，還有最后一爐。17C表示“在多長時間之后”用介詞in。18C從下文可知，他還要回教堂懸掛傳統(tǒng)的圣誕燈，因此用have to表示“不得不，必須”。19A這個女士對他先前的幫助心存感激，因此選A，“至少我能為你做這點事(報答你)”。20B從故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展看，本題選B表示“恰好，確切地，準確地”：正好在圣誕前夕的中午，那位女士把玉米粉蒸肉給他家送來了。A、D項語序不對，C項“準確地，精密地”。.閱讀理解【語篇解讀】長期以來，父母習(xí)慣于在童車后面推著寶寶，而最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種缺少了面對面的交流的方式會對寶寶的感情和語言能力產(chǎn)生長期的影響。因此父母應(yīng)該和童車里的孩子多進行面對面的溝通。1B細節(jié)理解題。由文章的第一句話可以看出：使用away­facing buggies影響寶寶的長期的語言能力，即原文所說的“l(fā)ong­term emotional and language problems”。2C細節(jié)判斷題。由第二段的第一句話可知答案。解決此題的關(guān)鍵是準確理解選項中的sample。3A詞義猜測題。由上文可以看出，接受試驗的20個孩子中，只有一個“l(fā)aughing”，也就是說他們的感情不夠豐富。即該詞和poor同義。4D細節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第三段得出答案。5A標題判斷題。綜觀全文，結(jié)合圖片可以看出，文章前半部分介紹父母在后面推童車缺少和孩子面對面的交流而出現(xiàn)了對孩子長期的負面影響，后面又提出了應(yīng)對方案：“Talk To Your Baby”由此可以看出，只有A.Best for Kids to Face Parents in Buggy最能概括全文。.短文填詞1permission2.What3.had4.through5was6.climbed7.closer8.surprised/astonished9.around10.so
