They listen attentively, and at around 6 months of age start to babble(含糊不清地说) 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 persons 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 speakers lips during every video. Babies who could talk also watched the speakers lipsbut only while viewing Spanish videos. While watching the English videos, babies who could talk switched to watching the womans eyes. The scientists say these findings suggest that babies who already use words can look away from a speakers mouth and toward the eyes for additional, nonverbal(非语言的) 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 peoples mouths and avoid eye contact by the time they are 2 years old. The new experiments suggest that prolonged(长时期的) lipreading in younger children, between 1 and 2 years old, may be an early sign of impending(将发生的) problems.“Its 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 speakers lips during every videoBbabies who couldnt talk watched the speakers mouth during every videoCbabies who could talk watched the speakers eyes during every videoDbabies who could talk watched the speakers 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 Kings School, Canterbury is an independent, coeducational secondary school. There are currently 791 pupils on the school roll(名单). 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(课程) at Kings 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 Kings. 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 Kings SchoolBThe Curriculum in BritainCNew Teaching TechniquesDBritish Education System21Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe Kings School, Canterbury is a famous high school in Britain.BThe curriculum at Kings 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 Kings School focuses on pupils individual developmentBpupils in the Kings School who pass GCSEs will go to universityCpupils in the Kings School have an easy access to the school libraryDpupils in the Kings School receive good education23The passage is probably taken from a _Ahandbook BwebsiteCmagazine Dnewspaper课时作业(二十三).1.C句意：他被解雇了，因为他被警告要严守时刻，但他又迟到了。punctual 意为“守时的”。2Atake up拿起，从事；catch on (to) 理解；carry out 开展，实施；make for向前进，有利于。由句意知选A。3Bfind宾语doing/done，其被动形式为be founddoing/done，现在分词表示“主动，动作正在进行”，过去分词表示“被动，动作已经完成”。dead adj. 作状语通常表示主语所处的一种状态。4A考查短语make better use of(更好利用)。5C考查句型It is up to sb. to do sth.(由某人决定做某事)。6B考查动词词义辨析。postpone the football match 推迟足球赛。advance前进，提升；abandon抛弃，放弃；advocate主张，提倡。7C考查非谓语动词。此处为过去分词短语作后置定语。8D本题考查动词辨析。根据句意“我在找到所有的证据之前宁愿保留自己的判断。”可知选D。9C该题考查形容词辨析。句意：你认为单凭容貌来判断一个人是可靠的吗？只有C项符合句意。10D考查动词短语。因为要挣钱养活一家人，20岁时，“我”不得不辍学。drop out辍学，中途退学；come out出来，出现；stay out不在家中，避开；leave out未顾及，遗漏。D项符合句意。11C句意：警察昨晚逮捕了几个小偷。A中的few 应改为a few；B中的a little修饰不可数名词；a great deal of修饰不可数名词。12A考查非谓语动词。该空分词动作与其逻辑主语she在逻辑上是主动关系，且伴随着句子谓语动作cut him short同时发生，即作伴随状语，故选A。13Can invitation to 是的诱因。14A考查动词短语。link up 连接，会合，联合；break up 打碎， 破碎， 分裂， 结束， 衰落， 分解， 变坏， 驱散；gather up 收集，概括；pick up 捡起， 获得， 收听，用车接。根据句意应选A。15Cturn down 拒绝，调低，调暗；turn over翻过来；fall down下降；fall over摔跤。由句意可知选C。.A不会说话的婴儿会通过观察大人的嘴唇来学说话。16D词义猜测题。根据该段出现的“talk”，“babble”和“make sounds”的提示，再结合句中的“also”不难推断划线词意为“说话”，故选D项。17C细节理解题。根据第四段“The device kept track of where the child looked while watching each video.”可知研究者给孩子们用特殊的装置其目的是为了知道他们在观看录像的时候其注意力在哪儿，故选C项。18B细节理解题。根据第五段“Babbling babies between ages 8 and 12 months old watched the speakers lips during every video.”可知，不会说话的孩子在观看录像时会集中注意力观察说话者的嘴唇，故选B项。19C主旨大意题。根据第六段的首尾两句不难判断此段旨在说明研究的意义所在，故选C项。B本文是对一所学校的介绍，包括学校概况、课程设置、教学设施、毕业生去向以及联系方式等。20A主旨大意题。文章第一段的第一句是本文的主题句，所以本文的中心话题是介绍这所学校。21C细节理解题。根据第六段第二句“Almost all go to university，either immediately or following a GAP year.”可知并非所有的学生毕业后立即去上大学。22B推理判断题。根据第三段中的内容可知学生通过GCSEs后，需要进入下一阶段(the Sixth Form)的学习，并不能马上去上大学。23B推理判断题。文章最后的“Click here for more information.”意思是“点击此处获取更多信息”，由此可知本文出自一个“网站”。
