The studys writer is Professor Anna Sosa. She leads the Child Speech and Language Lab at Northern Arizona University. She said, “Even if companies say that their toys are educational, theyre not teaching the babies anything at this time.”Anna Sosa and her team studied babies who were from 10 to 16 months old.The scientists listened to recordings of parents playing with their babies. The children used electronic toys, traditional toys and books.What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys. Sosa says that the parents also responded(反应) less and used fewer words when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important?She says research shows that how quickly children develop language often depended on what they hear from parents. When the babies played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. Sosa says parents talked a lot more when the babies played with traditional toys. Parents would describe the toys, name them and tell about their colors and shapes, as their children played. Parents even gave more information as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Sosa is not telling parents to throw out electronic toys. She believes that these electronic toys can provide entertainment(娱乐) for the babies. But parents should not look at such play as a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study.She said, “It is important that parents make time to play with their children. Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only learning skills, but social and developmental skills.” She added that play should be balanced, including time for just “make-believe” activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.28 . （小题1）According to the study, electronic toys teach babies .Aa lotBlanguageCcoloursDnothing29 . （小题2）From this passage we can learn that .Aparents talk helps baby to learn language quicklyBplaying with electronic toys is a kind of learning experienceCSona advised parents to throw away electronic toysDparents talked more when the babies played with electronic toys30 . （小题3）What is the passage mainly about?AA study on electronic toys.BBabies different learning skills.CA study on the tools to teach baby talk.DThe importance of traditional toys.In America, when the eighth-graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.Even though theyve done this already in the middle school, its still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman(新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. Students from different grades are allowed to join these clubs. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications(申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.Whats more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.31 .

Soon from the tree out ran a white rabbit. The rabbit ran away very fast.Pursuedand driven by the three dogs, the rabbit climbed up a tree. But it couldnt stand steadily, so it fell down to the ground. Before the dogs came to realize what had happened, the rabbit ran away quickly againFinishing the story, the teacher asked, “Are there any problems with the story?” One student said, “Rabbit cannot climb trees.” Another said, “Its impossible for three dogs not to catch a rabbit.”When the students couldnt find any more problems with the story, the teacher said, “There is another problem. Where did the woodchuck go? The woodchuck was the goal that the dogs were chasing. But because of the rabbits appearance, the dogs changed their direction, and our thoughts unknowingly changed, too. The woodchuck disappeared in our minds.”Such is life.

And now, scientists say that it can also tell us our height.Scientists at Washington University, Indiana University and University of California found that listeners could accurately tell the height of speakers, just by their voices. And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance（声门下共振）. Itdeepenswith height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.“The best way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,” said John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And its the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The taller we are, the deeper the resonance frequency is. In order to find out whether people could identify the resonance, scientists did experiments. A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of the pairs was taller. Then, other listeners had to rank the speakers from the shortest to the tallest. The listeners were able to identify the tall people 62.17% of time, much higher than a lucky guess. Why not try the experiment yourself? Find out if your tall friends have deeper voices.40 . The scientists in some American universities found that peoples voices _.Achange more quickly as they get olderBcan tell the height of the speakerCsound different when they have water in their mouthDcan tell the speakers gender, age and weight41 .

Which of the following is TRUE?AOur voice is made up of the subglottal resonance.BThe people tested in the experiments were of different-sex pairs.CA persons voice is greatly different even when reading the same sentence.DListeners ability to identify taller speaker is much higher than a lucky guess.44 . The best title of the passage might be _.AHow to Be TallerBOur Voice Tells Our HeightCAn Experience about VoiceDSomething about Subglottal Resonance四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母提示完成单词45 .
