11、 bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his foodmight seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research touncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing .right?Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(心理学家) have argue
12、d that this “play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushedover the table edge, it falls to the groundand, in the process, it brings out importantevidence about how physical objects interact(
13、相互作用): bowls of rice do not float in mid-air,but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basicfact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form anunderstanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build
14、 on thisknowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and toolsdiffer, the babys investigation and the scientists experiment appear to share the sameaim(to learn about the natural world), overall approach(gathering direct evidence from theworld), and logic (are my obse

17、 learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do youngchildren and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effortthe desire to explore, explain, and understand our worldis simply somethingthat comes from our babyhood. Perhaps
18、evolution(进化) provided human babies withcuriosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use ofthe same drive that served them as children.

32、hat my son treasures most; when4.some of whom; speak Chinese fluently5.meaning/indicating that winter has arrived.1.C句意: 渔民将这名年轻人捞起来之前, 他已经在河里漂浮了接近两个小时。put up “建造,举起, 提供住宿”; make up “组成, 编造”; pick up “拾起, 救起, 偶然学会”; bring up “提出, 抚养, 呕吐”。根据句意选 C 项。2.Cnever, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely等含
33、有否定意义的副词若置于句首, 则其后要用部分倒装, 排除 A、B 两项; 因强调对现在造成的结果或影响, 要用现在完成时, 排除 D 项。故 C项正确。3.A答句第二句的意思是: 这种车即使在湿滑路面也好操控, 因此很受欢迎。handle做及物动词, 意为 “驾驶; 操纵”, 做条件状语, 与主语 this kind of car构成逻辑上的动宾关系, 故用动词-ed形式。handled只表示被动, 不表示时间。being handled 表示 “正在被驾驶”, 不合题意。4.C句意: 当特蕾西获悉儿子的病能够治好的时候, 她松了一口气, 离开了医院。in peace “和平地”; in su
34、rprise “惊奇地”; in relief “松了一口气”; in time “及时, 迟早”。故选 C项。5.C句意: 他想当一名飞行员的志向因视力不好而被搁置了。destination “目的地”; inspiration“灵感, 激励”; ambition “志向”; promotion “提升, 促进, 促销”。根据句意选 C项。6.B句意: 到目前为止进展非常好。因此, 我们确信这个工作将会如期完成。however “然而”;therefore “因此”; otherwise “否则”; besides “除之外”。根据句意选 B 项。7.D句意: 让我们感到惊讶的是, 曾经认为
35、英语枯燥无味的加布里埃尔, 现在英语说得很流利,就好像英语是他的母语一样。前面的 “is surprising to us” 是主语从句。第一个空格在主语从句中做主语, 故用 what。 “forEnglish was once boring” 是定语从句, 修饰 Gabriel。这个定语从句中的主语是 English。介词 for后面要跟关系代词 whom 做宾语。8.Cother “其他的”; more “更多的”; another “另一个”; each “每个”。这里使用 “another+数词”,表示 “还有”, more是在其前面加数词。故选 C项。.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。
36、文章主要介绍了孩子的玩耍和科学家的研究有共同之处。1.D细节理解题。由文章第一段最后一句中的 “.some developmental psychologists have arguedthat this play is more like a scientific investigation.”可知, 科学实验和孩子的玩耍这两种行为均包含一种共性。D项中的 is somehow similar to和句中的 is more like 为同义替换。2.D细节理解题。在第二段中, 作者通过实例论证了婴儿的玩耍和科学家们的实验两者间存在的共性, 即目的、方法和逻辑相同。注意该段落最后一句话括号中的
37、信息: gathering directevidence from the world, D 项中的 collect 和 gathering属于同义替换。故选 D项。A项错在differently; B 项属于理解错误, 正确的表述应该是科学家们以及婴儿和物质世界的互动; C 项错在 born with一词。3.C推理判断题。推理判断的起点是第三段第一句中的 using similar means这一说明。既然调查人类心理和语言规则的方法同上, 则应该从上文的第二段中找到对应的方法, 即第二段倒数第二句中的 through repeated experiments。故选 C项。4.B主旨大意题
38、。段落的首句为该段的主旨句。该句句意: 把儿童的发展看作是一个科学研究的过程, 这让人们进一步了解了孩子学习的方法; 同时也对怎样看待科学和科学家具有启示性意义。因此研究婴儿的玩耍的科学性可以更好地理解科学本身的发展。故选 B项。5.D推理判断题。该题要求判断作者的语气(tone), 需从作者的用词来做出判断, 特别是副词、形容词、情态动词等的使用。第一段中的 Perhaps, 第二段中的 It is likely that., may, appear, 第三段中的 may, 以及第四段中的 Perhaps, may等都说明了作者在下结论或做出判断时所持有的谨慎(cautious)态度。.【语
