【题目】Babies’ Look Changing
Researchers show that the early social behavior called look changing is linked to babies’ ability to learn new language sounds. 【1】. It is when a baby makes eye contact and then looks at the same object that the other person is looking at.
Rechel Brooks, one of the researchers, made a report, showing that babies’ look changing serves as a building block(基础)for more complicated language and social skills. 【2】.
In this experiment, nine 5-month-old babies from English-speaking families attended foreign language tutoring sessions. Over four weeks, the tutors talked and played with toys while speaking Spanish.
At the beginning and end of the four-week period, researchers counted how often the babies changed their look. 【3】. There they tested how much Spanish language sounds.
【4】. The more look changing the babies participate in during their tutoring sessions, the greater their brain response were to the Spanish language sounds.
“Our findings show young babies’ social engagement contributes to their own language learning – they’re not just passive listeners of language,” Brooks said. “They’re paying attention and showing parents they’re ready to learn when they’re looking back and forth.” 【5】.
The researchers hope their findings help people develop strategies for teaching young children.
A.That’s when the most learning happens
B.These skills are what preschool children can gain
C.The results were really amazing
D.We can’t imagine how look changing helps them learn so much
E.However, others may regard look changing as something useless
F.Look changing is one of the earliest social skills that babies show
G.After the experiment ended, the researchers brought the babies back to the lab

【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Voice for the Planet
It's the voice you notice first. In person, David Attenborough speaks in the same awestruck hush he has used in dozens of nature documentaries, a crisp half whisper 【1】 is often imitated but seldom matched. Sitting in his home in the Richmond neighbourhood of west London for one in a series of conversations, I feel obliged to drink 【2】 second cup of tea when he offers. It somehow seems wrong to say no.
In his native U. K. Attenborough is held in the kind of respect usually 【3】 (reserve) for royalty. Over decades - first as a television executive, then as a wildlife filmmaker and recently as a kind of elder statesman for the planet -- he has achieved near saintly(圣人的)status. He was knighted(封为骑士)by the Queen in 1985 and 【4】 (usually refer) to as Sir David.
Attenborough pioneered a style of wildlife film-making that brought viewers to remote landscapes and gave them a close perspective on the wonders of nature. In the autumn of his life, Attenborough has largely moved away from 【5】 these films are made but lends his storytelling abilities to wildlife documentaries in collaboration with filmmakers his storytelling abilities to wildlife documentaries in collaboration with filmmakers he has mentored. His most famous work, the 2006 BBC series Planet Earth, set a benchmark in the use of high-definition cameras and had a budget equal to 【6】 of a Hollywood movie. Among its highlights 【7】 (be) the first footage of a snow leopard, the impossibly rare Asian wildcat that hunts high in the Himalayas. More than a decade 【8】 it was first released, Planet Earth remains among the all-time best-selling nonfiction DVDs.
Now Attenborough is putting his voice and the weight of authority he has accumulated to greater moral purpose. In recent months he has stood 【9】 powerful audiences at the 2018 U. N. climate talks in Katowice, Poland, and the 2019 World Economic Forum at Davos, in Switzerland, to urge them into action on climate change. These kinds of event are not his chosen habitat, Attenborough tells TIME. "I would much prefer not to be a sign- 【10】 (carry) conservationist. My life is the natural world. But I can't not carry a placard(标语牌)if I see what's happening."

【题目】 Our wedding was about to begin. My throat was tight and my cheeks got red, but I didn’t care. I was ready to marry David Sanchez. We’re a “nontraditional” couple: getting married not at a church but in a bookstore that supports a charity to fight H.I.V. and homelessness.
“Kim! I could walk you down the aisle if you like!” David’s father offered gently.
“I'm OK. But I appreciate that,” I said with a smile. And I was reminded, again, of my dad's absence.
My father died of cancer six weeks ago. For the last two months, we tried to make him feel comfortable and loved as he departed from this world. He always told us that he didn’t like a funeral and insisted our wedding go forward as planned. But how could we honor him since the wedding would be the first time the family would gather after his death and some even didn’t know he was sick?
During the ceremony, my dear friend Eva delivered a reading entitled “When Things Go Missing” by Kathryn Schulz. She paused and got everyone on the same page: “When we are experiencing it, loss often feels like confusion in the usual order of things. In fact, the entire plan of the universe consists of losing, and life amounts to a reverse(逆向的)savings account in which we are eventually robbed of everything.”
I felt the energy full of the room. Everyone was listening. By choosing to accept the pain, we knew what a wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple. Loss became a compass that pointed us away from a fantasy and toward celebrating the difficult realities of life.
After rings were exchanged, fried chicken was served, our friends offered so many funny and touching toasts, and finally David sang “Married” on my father’s guitar. I felt joy filling all the holes in my soul. Celebrating my father’s life at our wedding made me grateful for all the time I had spent with him, because it all goes by so fast.
【1】Why did David’s father offer to walk the author down the aisle?
A.To relieve her tension.B.To play the author’s late father’s role.
C.To welcome her to his family.D.To contribute something to the charity.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 suggest?
A.Kim could distance herself from the pain.
B.Kim knew how to start her new family.
C.Kim got more courage for marriage and life.
D.Kim imagined she would meet more challenges.
【3】What do we know about Kim and David’s wedding ceremony?
A.It was a touching and happy one.B.Kim and David turned it into a funeral.
C.It was held at a church.D.There was no other activity except reading.

【题目】 Once I had a student called Jamal. He would squirm (扭来扭去)in his chair during independent work, and he would never stay still for more than three or four minutes. Students like Jamal can confuse brand new teachers because they’re not quite sure how to support young people like him. I took a direct approach. I negotiated with Jamal. If he could give me focused work, then he could do it from anywhere in the classroom: from our classroom rug, from behind my desk, or from inside his classroom locker, which turned out to be his favorite place.
Jamal’s least favorite subject was writing, and he never wanted to read what he had written out loud in class, but we were still making progress. One day, I decided to host a mock (模拟的)2008 presidential election in my classroom. My third graders had to research and write a speech for their chosen candidate: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The favorite candidates were obvious, but one student chose John McCain. It was Jamal. Jamal finally decided to read something that he had written out loud in class, and sure enough, Jamal stunned all of us with his brilliance. Just like Jamal’s dad, John McCain was a veteran, and just like Jamal’s dad protected him, Jamal believed that John McCain would protect the entire country. He wasn’t my candidate of choice, but it didn’t matter, because the entire class erupted into applause for our brave friend Jamal who finally showed up as his most confident self for the first time that year.
A lack of confidence pulls us down from the bottom and weighs us down from the top, crushing us between a flurry of can’ts and won’ts. Without confidence, we get stuck, and when we get stuck, we can’t even get started. Instead of getting mired in what can get in our way, confidence invites us to perform with certainty.
【1】Which of the following best describes Jamal?
A.Naughty and stubbornB.Determined but shy
C.Smart but unfocusedD.Confident and generous
【2】Why did Jamal choose John McCain in the mock 2008 presidential election?
A.Because John was the least popular among the three choices.
B.Because John had written something about him before.
C.Because John shared some similarities with Jamal’s father.
D.Because John was a soldier who could protect the country.
【3】What does the underlined word “stun” mean?
A.Amaze.B.Cheer.C.Awake.D.Entertain.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To introduce the change of the authors student.
B.To show how to deal with problem students.
C.To stress the importance of encouragement.
D.To encourage us to be confident.
