25、 Studies show that language learning in babies is improved when parents speak more than a few simple words and use a wider vocabulary. Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could increase language development.
One such speaking style is known as “parentese”. Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life. Generally, “parentese” requires adults to speak in a higher voice and at a slower speed. The language is made easier to understand, while sentences are short and often repeated.
Can parents be taught good ways to improve their “parentese” skills? Patricia Kuhl, a professor of speech and hearing sciences, carried out a study on it. She says the purpose of the study was to find out whether a parent can be “trained” to create their own speaking style to improve language learning in children.
Naja Ferjan Ramirez helped lead the study. “Most parents know that the amount (数量) of language their child hears is important,” Ferjan Ramirez said. “What we shared with them through training is that how they talk to their baby may matter even more. ”
For the study, parents were given a small recording device (设备), which they put inside a piece of their baby’s clothing. All spoken communication from parents and the child was recorded. The recordings were made at three different periods of the child’s life: when the child was six, ten and fourteen months old. The parents were divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention (干预) group. Those in the intervention group received training after their six and ten month recordings.
The study found that between the ages of six and fourteen months, trained parents increased the amount of speech directed to the child and their use of “parentese” by l5 percent. Parents in the control group showed less growth in those areas, about 7 percent.
【1】What can parents do to improve their baby’s language learning?
A.Communicate with their baby with a few simple words.
B.Communicate with their baby with a wider vocabulary.
C.Communicate with their baby using longer sentences.
D.Communicate with their baby in a gentle voice.
【2】What can we learn about “parentese” from the text?
A.It means that adults talk with their babies in a lower voice.
B.It means that the language parents use becomes more difficult.
C.It means that adults talk with their babies more quickly.
D.It means that the sentences parents use are short.
【3】According to Ferjan Ramirez, what do the researchers want parents to know about through training?
A.The importance of the amount of language their child hears.
B.The importance of the type of language their child understands.
C.The importance of the way parents talk to their children.
D.The importance of high and low voices when parents talk to children.
【4】What can be concluded (推断) from the study mentioned above?
A.Trained parents are more likely to improve their children’s language learning.
B.Six to fourteen months is the best time to improve children’s language learning.
C.Parents in the control group used more “parentese” than in the intervention group.
D.Trained parents needed to use “parentese” for at least fourteen months.
26、"BANG!" the door caused a big noise. It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never allows it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I walked in the streets, without a place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"
All the lights were off except Father's.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry. After an argument he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door , tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.
【1】Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a
C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
【2】What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. The father is actually kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.
D. The father is always finding his son wrong .
【4】This passage is mainly about________.

27、 Your Internet experience is ruined when the net speed is too slow—it takes so long to open a web page and the show you're watching stops every few minutes.
But it could be a thing of the past. Major telecom carriers will start to provide 5G services in China.
What is 5G?
The "G" in “5G" refers to the generations of mobile network technologies. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages; 3G gave us mobile data and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.
Now 5G promises much faster speeds, and more stable connections. This means that you will be able to download an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay between sending and receiving data.
What changes will 5G bring us?
According to the Straits Times, SC will be able to improve many advanced technologies. With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid probable dangers. Meanwhile, 5G-enabled wearable products will keep doctors in touch with their patients and warn them immediately if there's something wrong. Besides, VR games will become more popular with 5C. The short delay of SG will make the games feel even more real.
Does 5G have any disadvantages?
5G is not perfect. For one thing, 5G will not "travel" far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest stable transmission base. But 5G will only cover about 300 meters, meaning that we will need more transmitters 80 that we can get signals.
And in order to use 5G. we will have to buy new products specifically designed for 5G that are now expensive.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案

【2】What can't we do with 5G?

B.Many advanced technologies will change because of 5C.
C.New products designed for 5G will be cheaper in the future.
D.There will be no delay in information exchange with 5C.
【4】How far can you be away from the nearest transmission base if you have a 5G mobile phone?
A.About 10 meters. B.About 10 kilometers.
