(2019·杭州模拟)Experts believe that the best time to teach kids language skills is when they are babies.Most time the task is easily accomplished with parents reading or talking to their babies.However, in some cases that is not possible due to busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf.Now, an adorable blue­eyed robot, a human avatar, and some high­tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.
The R obot AVatar thermal­Enhanced system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura­Ann Petitto, an educational neuroscientist, at Washington, D．C.'s Gallaudet University.The learning process begins when the robot's camera,
which is focused on the baby's face, detects tiny changes
in his/her body temperature.This, combined with the baby's
facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide
the baby's attention to a computer screen, on which a human
avatar starts to communicate with the baby, much like a parent would.For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond, “Are you pointing to me？” and follow that up with a nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or some essential social communication, all in American Sign Language (ASL)．The “conversation” continues until the kid loses interest.
The researchers, who have been testing the system for three years, found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes.Petitto says natural language, whether communicated through speech or sign, activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.
What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive nature and real­time response to the baby's actions.The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's lo ng­term influence on baby communication, the initial response has been
very encouraging.Next, they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.
A．Improve babies' health condition.
B．Take good care of babies.

Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.
Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That's true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.
So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens' closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight, family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.
Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowl edges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”
5．Where can you probably read this passage?
A．Science fiction. B．Health column.

D．the teens who couldn't express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
解析：选 D 细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back ...sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。

故D项正确。

7．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into
consideration.
“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion，” sa id Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper­cuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us，” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day
解析：选A 细节理解题。

根据第四段的整体内容可推知，哈尔滨的一位居民所说的这段话是在感慨今昔过年的差异，故选A。

9．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
解析：选B 推理判断题。

根据最后一段的“My family has been preparing for ...”
和“On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see ...”以及本段的整体内容可推知，张惠习惯和家人一起过春节，故选B。

10．What does the whole passage show?
A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.
解析：选 C 推理判断题。

根据第一段的最后一句“But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.”，并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲述了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失这一现象，故选C。

品味人生
1、不管鸟的翅膀多么完美，如果不凭借空气，鸟就永远飞不到高空。

想象力是翅膀，客观实际是空气，只有两方面紧密结合，才能取得显着成绩。

2、想停下来深情地沉湎一番，怎奈行驶的船却没有铁锚;想回过头去重温旧梦，怎奈身后早已没有了归途。

因为时间的钟摆一刻也不曾停顿过，所以生命便赋予我们将在汹涌的大潮之中不停地颠簸。

3、真正痛苦的人，却在笑脸的背后，流着别人无法知道的眼泪，生活中我们笑得比谁都开心，可是当所有的人潮散去的时候，我们比谁都落寂。

4、温暖是飘飘洒洒的春雨;温暖是写在脸上的笑影;温暖是义无反顾的响应;温暖是一丝不苟的配合。

5、幸福，是一种人生的感悟，一种个人的体验。

也许，幸福是你风尘仆仆走进家门时亲切的笑脸;也许，幸福是你卧病床上百无聊赖时温馨的问候;也许，幸福是你屡遭挫折心灰意冷时劝慰的话语;也许，幸福是你历经艰辛获得成功时赞赏的掌声。

关键的是，你要有一副热爱生活的心肠，要有一个积极奋进的目标，要有一种矢志不渝的追求。

这样，你才能感受到幸福。

6、母爱是迷惘时苦口婆心的规劝;母爱是远行时一声殷切的叮咛;母爱
是孤苦无助时慈祥的微笑。

7、淡淡素笺，浓浓墨韵，典雅的文字，浸染尘世情怀;悠悠岁月，袅袅茶香，别致的杯盏，盛满诗样芳华;云淡风轻，捧茗品文，灵动的音符，吟唱温馨暖语;春花秋月，红尘阡陌，放飞的思绪，漫过四季如歌。

读一段美文，品一盏香茗，听一曲琴音，拾一抹心情。

8、尘缘飞花，人去楼空，梦里花落为谁痛?顾眸流盼，几许痴缠。

把自己揉入了轮回里，忆起，在曾相逢的梦里;别离，在泪眼迷朦的花落间;心碎，在指尖的苍白中;淡落，在亘古的残梦中。

在夜莺凄凉的叹息里，让片片细腻的柔情，哽咽失语在暗夜的诗句里。

9、用不朽的“人”字支撑起来的美好风景，既有“虽体解吾犹未变兮”的执着吟哦，也有“我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的跌宕胸怀;既有“我以我血荐轩辕”的崇高追求，也有“敢教日月换新天”的豪放气魄。

33 我是一只蜜蜂，在祖国的花园里，飞来飞去，不知疲倦地为祖国酿制甘甜的蜂蜜;我是一只紫燕，在祖国的蓝天上，穿越千家万户，向祖国向人民报告春的信息;我是一滴雨点，在祖国的原野上，从天而降，滋润干渴的禾苗;我是一株青松，在祖国的边疆，傲然屹立，显示出庄严的身姿。

10、母爱是一滴甘露，亲吻干涸的泥土，它用细雨的温情，用钻石的坚毅，期待着闪着碎光的泥土的肥沃;母爱不是人生中的一个凝固点，而是一条流动的河，这条河造就了我们生命中美丽的情感之景。

11、青春是盛开的鲜花，用它艳丽的花瓣铺就人生的道路;青春是美妙的乐章，用它跳跃的音符谱写人生的旋律;青春是翱翔的雄鹰，用它矫健的翅膀搏击广阔的天宇;青春是奔腾的河流，用它倒海的气势冲垮陈旧的桎梏。

12、失败，是把有价值的东西毁灭给人看;成功，是把有价值的东西包装给人看。

成功的秘诀是不怕失败和不忘失败。

成功者都是从失败的炼狱中走出来的。

成功与失败循环往复，构成精彩的人生。

成功与失败的裁决，不是在起点，而是在终点。

13、母爱是一缕阳光，让你的心灵即便在寒冷的冬天也能感受到温暖如春;母爱是一泓清泉，让你的情感即使蒙上岁月的风尘仍然清澈澄净。

14、不要吝惜自己的爱，敞开自己的胸怀，多多给予，你会发现，你也已经沐浴在了爱河里。

15、奉献是爱心，勇于付出，你一定会收到意外之外的馈赠。

16、人生就像一条河，经历丰富，才能远源流长。

伟大的一生，像黄河一样跌宕起伏，像长江一样神奇壮美。

人生就像一座山，经历奇特才能蔚为大观。

伟大的一生，像黄山一样奇峰迭起，像泰山一样大气磅礴。

经历就是人生的硎石，生命的锋芒在磨砺中闪光;经历就是人生的矿石，生命的活力在提炼中释放。

经历就是体验，经历就是积淀。

没有体验就没有生存的质量;没有积淀，就没有生存的智慧。

人生的真谛在经历中探寻，人生的价值在经历中实现。

17、生命不是一张永远旋转的唱片;青春也不是一张永远不老的容颜。

爱情是一个永恒的故事，从冬说到夏，又从绿说到黄;步履是一个载着命运的轻舟，由南驶向北，又由近驶向远。

18、过去与未来，都离自己很遥远，关键是抓住现在，抓住当前。

19、采一点晨曦，装点一天的清新，捧一把阳光，温暖一季的心情。

雨中潇洒走一回，去释放心底的罗曼蒂克。

一段白云下的遐想，找回的是心灵空间的宽广和飞翔。

听一曲欢快流畅音乐，脸上没有了忧郁的浮云，心中燃烧着一团艳阳。

把笑意写在脸上，人生四季的良辰美景，即如小桥流水，也如风清月明!
20、生命本是一场漂泊的漫旅，遇见了谁都是一个美丽的意外。

我珍惜着每一个可以让我称做朋友的人，因为那是可以让漂泊的心驻足的地方。

有时候会被一句话感动，因为真诚;有时候会为一首歌流泪，因为自然。

要快乐，不止此时，而是一生!。
