14、Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. 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 or other caregiver. 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) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers tried to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (装置) in the mouth of the newborn 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 tried to measure the sensitivity (敏感度) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s 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.
1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies? A．Their peers (同龄人). B．The environment.
C．Mother’s sensitivity.D．Education before birth.
2．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 show that early education has a deep effect on the babies’ language skills.
D．To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.
3．Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
A．Children with high communication abilities.
B．The children of depressed but caring mothers.
C．The children of women who did not suffer from depression.
D．The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
4．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 stories have effects on babies’ intelligence.
D．A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.

15、Scene 1
On a wild mountain, two goats met on a rock just over a high cliff (峭壁). The rock was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back.
One of them with great care laid himself down on the narrow rock, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat gently and softly stepped over his friend, till, safely past him, he could lightly get away.
The goat that had lain down then drew himself up, safe and free to leap again from rock to rock, and eat the sweet grass on the hills.
Scene 2
Two other goats met on the banks of a wild, rushing stream. They found there was a tree across the stream. It formed a bridge from one side to the other.
They stood for a moment with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would draw back. But neither of them would give away, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!
They then began to push and fight with their horns (犄角), till at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the stream, and were lost in the waters!
Both might have been saved if either of them had known how to give way to another at the right time.
1．（小题1）How did the two goats in Scene 1 manage to get away from the rock?
A．One goat turned around and went back.
B．One goat jumped over the other and walked away.
C．They stood there and passed the rock carefully together.
D．One goat lay down on the rock so that the other could first leave.

b. They met on the bank of a rushing stream.
c. A tree fell across a stream and formed a bridge.
d. They pushed and fought with their horns.
e. They met on the middle of the narrow bridge.
A．b-c-e-a-d B．b-c-e-d-a
C．c-b-e-d-a D．c-e-b-d-a
3．（小题3）What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many hands make light work.
B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D．Being kind to someone is never a waste.

16、Most people see Batman(蝙蝠侠) in the movies. In fact, there are many common people who are like Batman around us. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He loves bike riding and also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list
things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register(注册) their bikes and post reports when th ey’re taken. The bike, which he was considering buying, clearly matched the one reported stolen on Bike Index!
Then he called the “owner” of the bike. When the two men met, Bike Batman told him, “You’ve got two choices. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” With anger, the thief(小偷) warned him and left quickly.
After that first success, Bike Batman often visits the two websites. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he matches them with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he is sure they are the lost ones, he arranges(安排) a meet-up with the thief and calls the Seattle police to join in the action.
So far, he has got back and returned 22 bikes and that’s why the police officers call him Bike Batman. Altho ugh he thinks it a little silly, the main reason he continues his work is to help more owners find their lost bikes.
