A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as yes and no.

Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕的) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (设备) in the mouth of the new born baby. The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again. Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity (体恤) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their childrens activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (抑郁). The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies? A. The environment. B. Mothers sensitivity. C. Their movement. D. Education before birth.29. What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories? A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born. B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born. C. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies language skills. D. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.30. Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills? A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children. B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression. C. The children of depressed but caring mothers. D. Children with high communication abilities.31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth. B. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies. C. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies intelligence. D. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.DAs a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the enemy would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldnt let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.32. The author had _kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. one B. two C. three D. none33. _ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lights B. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and wind D. Strange sights and sounds34. When she went to some other places, she would _.A. walk away without others B. take a bus by herselfC. follow others closely D. make sure not to take a wrong bus35. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A. She was usually popular among people. B. She was always the leader of the others.C. She always got poor grades. D. She was not at all liked by others.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 76 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club.
