They listen attentively, and at around 6 months of age start to babble(含糊不清地說) with passion while their brains figure out how to make sounds understood by others. A new study suggests babies might also learn to gab by using their eyes. “Babies start to lip­read when they learn to babble，” said David Lewkowicz, a psychologist who worked on the study. At that time, he says, infants probably connect the sound of a word to the shape of a person's mouth when saying the word.Lewkowicz and Amy Hansen­Tift, both of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, conducted the experiments demonstrating babies' lip­reading skills. The scientists studied 179 infants from families where English is the main language spoken at home.The children, who were divided into groups by age, wore special devices while they watched videos of a woman speaking English or speaking Spanish, which was a foreign language to the babies. The device kept track of where the child looked while watching each video.Babbling babies between ages 8 and 12 months old watched the speaker's lips during every video. Babies who could talk also watched the speaker's lipsbut only while viewing Spanish videos. While watching the English videos, babies who could talk switched to watching the woman's eyes. The scientists say these findings suggest that babies who already use words can look away from a speaker's mouth and toward the eyes for additional, nonverbal(非語言的) communication clues.The new study is useful for understanding how babies learn to speak, but it also might help researchers understand disorders like autism. Children with autism have a hard time communicating clearly and forming relationships with people. Previous studies have shown that children with autism watch people's mouths and avoid eye contact by the time they are 2 years old. The new experiments suggest that prolonged(長時期的) lip­reading in younger children, between 1 and 2 years old, may be an early sign of impending(將發(fā)生的) problems.“It's too soon to know if a longer period of lip­reading might be connected to autism，” said Rhea Paul, who is a psychologist and autism researcher at Yale University. She says the new study demonstrates, however, that “it is normal for infants to increasingly look away from adults' eyes and at their mouths from 6 to 12 months of age.”16The underlined word “gab” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_”Aread BcommunicateCobserve Dtalk17Why did the researchers make the children wear special devices during the experiments?ATo know how they would react to the videos emotionally.BTo keep them always interested in watching all the videos.CTo know what they would focus on while watching the videos.DTo know which language they would be more interested in.18In the study, Lewkowicz and Amy Hansen­Tift found that _Aall the babies watched the speaker's lips during every videoBbabies who couldn't talk watched the speaker's mouth during every videoCbabies who could talk watched the speaker's eyes during every videoDbabies who could talk watched the speaker's lips and eyes during every video19The sixth paragraph is intended to explain _Athe early signs of autism in childrenBhow babies learn to speakCthe significance of the new studyDthe effects of autism on childrenBThe King's School, Canterbury is an independent, coeducational secondary school. There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名單). The school has a long and distinguished history, and it is also one of the oldest charities in the country, providing scholarships to pupils and organizing a Charity of the Term.The curriculum(課程) at King's is based on strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring and tutorial system, and a wide­ranging co­curricular programme. However, it is continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques are adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills.The curriculum is divided into three units: the Lower School(Year 9 ), an introductory year; the Middle School(Years 10 and 11 ), working to GCSEs; and the Sixth Form(Years 12 and 13), taking AS and A levels.Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 20092011; Middle School Academic Guide 20102012; Sixth Form Guide 20092011 and Sixth Form Guide 20102012.Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels. The well­stocked library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week. ICT facilities (including the Internet) are available for all and the whole school(studies within the houses as well as classrooms) is extensively networked.Pupils are offered extensive career advice throughout their time at King's. Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year. The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London.Director of Studies: Geoff Cocksworth: grc kings­school.co.ukExaminations Officer: Elaine McDowell: eam kings­school. co. uk.Click here for more information.20The best title of the passage might be _AThe King's SchoolBThe Curriculum in BritainCNew Teaching TechniquesDBritish Education System21Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe King's School, Canterbury is a famous high school in Britain.BThe curriculum at King's is best in traditional and modern education.CAll pupils of the school go to university immediately after they graduate.DPupils' dormitories as well as classrooms are provided with network.22The following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT that_Athe King's School focuses on pupils' individual developmentBpupils in the King's School who pass GCSEs will go to universityCpupils in the King's School have an easy access to the school libraryDpupils in the King's School receive good education23The passage is probably taken from a _Ahandbook BwebsiteCmagazine Dnewspaper課時作業(yè)(二十三).1.C句意：他被解雇了，因為他被警告要嚴(yán)守時刻，但他又遲到了。punctual 意為“守時的”。2Atake up拿起，從事；catch on (to) 理解；carry out 開展，實施；make for向前進(jìn)，有利于。由句意知選A。3Bfind賓語doing/done，其被動形式為be founddoing/done，現(xiàn)在分詞表示“主動，動作正在進(jìn)行”，過去分詞表示“被動，動作已經(jīng)完成”。dead adj. 作狀語通常表示主語所處的一種狀態(tài)。4A考查短語make better use of(更好利用)。5C考查句型It is up to sb. to do sth.(由某人決定做某事)。6B考查動詞詞義辨析。postpone the football match 推遲足球賽。advance前進(jìn)，提升；abandon拋棄，放棄；advocate主張，提倡。7C考查非謂語動詞。此處為過去分詞短語作后置定語。8D本題考查動詞辨析。根據(jù)句意“我在找到所有的證據(jù)之前寧愿保留自己的判斷?！笨芍xD。9C該題考查形容詞辨析。句意：你認(rèn)為單憑容貌來判斷一個人是可靠的嗎？只有C項符合句意。10D考查動詞短語。因為要掙錢養(yǎng)活一家人，20歲時，“我”不得不輟學(xué)。drop out輟學(xué)，中途退學(xué)；come out出來，出現(xiàn)；stay out不在家中，避開；leave out未顧及，遺漏。D項符合句意。11C句意：警察昨晚逮捕了幾個小偷。A中的few 應(yīng)改為a few；B中的a little修飾不可數(shù)名詞；a great deal of修飾不可數(shù)名詞。12A考查非謂語動詞。該空分詞動作與其邏輯主語she在邏輯上是主動關(guān)系，且伴隨著句子謂語動作cut him short同時發(fā)生，即作伴隨狀語，故選A。13Can invitation to 是的誘因。14A考查動詞短語。link up 連接，會合，聯(lián)合；break up 打碎， 破碎， 分裂， 結(jié)束， 衰落， 分解， 變壞， 驅(qū)散；gather up 收集，概括；pick up 撿起， 獲得， 收聽，用車接。根據(jù)句意應(yīng)選A。15Cturn down 拒絕，調(diào)低，調(diào)暗；turn over翻過來；fall down下降；fall over摔跤。由句意可知選C。.A不會說話的嬰兒會通過觀察大人的嘴唇來學(xué)說話。16D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該段出現(xiàn)的“talk”，“babble”和“make sounds”的提示，再結(jié)合句中的“also”不難推斷劃線詞意為“說話”，故選D項。17C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“The device kept track of where the child looked while watching each video.”可知研究者給孩子們用特殊的裝置其目的是為了知道他們在觀看錄像的時候其注意力在哪兒，故選C項。18B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Babbling babies between ages 8 and 12 months old watched the speaker's lips during every video.”可知，不會說話的孩子在觀看錄像時會集中注意力觀察說話者的嘴唇，故選B項。19C主旨大意題。根據(jù)第六段的首尾兩句不難判斷此段旨在說明研究的意義所在，故選C項。B本文是對一所學(xué)校的介紹，包括學(xué)校概況、課程設(shè)置、教學(xué)設(shè)施、畢業(yè)生去向以及聯(lián)系方式等。20A主旨大意題。文章第一段的第一句是本文的主題句，所以本文的中心話題是介紹這所學(xué)校。21C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段第二句“Almost all go to university，either immediately or following a GAP year.”可知并非所有的學(xué)生畢業(yè)后立即去上大學(xué)。22B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的內(nèi)容可知學(xué)生通過GCSEs后，需要進(jìn)入下一階段(the Sixth Form)的學(xué)習(xí)，并不能馬上去上大學(xué)。23B推理判斷題。文章最后的“Click here for more information.”意思是“點(diǎn)擊此處獲取更多信息”，由此可知本文出自一個“網(wǎng)站”。
