If the baby is very young, and you _21_the ball behind a pillow (枕頭), then the ball _22 exists for the

2、child. As the child grows older, the child will move the pillow to get the ball. Even though the child cannot see the ball, the ball still exists. This is an early example of “l(fā)earning to see the _23_”.Just about all of us have _24_, so we all think we can see. But, in _25_ we are all blind to proba

3、bly 99% of the world. Because_26_ people realize this, few people make the attempt to learn more, in order to see more. Just like a child, what we dont see doesnt exist. _27_, because most of us are blind to 99% of the world, we rely on others to give us the answers. We willingly allow doctors, lawy

4、ers, priests, and politicians to tell us what to do or think, but they take no responsibility when the results go wrong. Commercial television, radio, newspapers, and magazines are largely corporate owned, profit driven, and focus more on distraction and misinformation than on education. Yet, we con

Nowadays, many Shanghai white-collar workers have received native English speaking _31_(nation) students as their host families, too, in or

9、der to learn English from them. It is usually free for foreign students to stay in a host family in Shanghai, but he/she must take_ 32_ the responsibility of teaching English to at least one certain members of the family. Miss Li has always worried about her 33 (limit) English. “I never knew what to

10、 say to an English-speaking person,” said she. She has taken a number of English courses, but 34_ has proved to be useful. Last year, she saw _35 advertisement recruiting（征募） host families for foreign students, and that was how Carey (from Chicago, US) came to her home. Carey is actually not a stude

She stays in Lis apartment for free, _36_has to teach Li oral English for 1 hour every day. “She could hardly speak Chinese at the beginning, and we had to guess_37_ each other meant through gestures,” said Li. Two months later, they could talk to each other 38 gesticulating. Now,

Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can

14、 speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies

15、make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys

16、 intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of

17、 sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation an

18、d it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else

19、 he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.41. Before children start speaking_.A. they need e

20、qual amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions42. Children who start speaking late _.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probabl

21、y do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly43. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD

22、. an imitation of the speech of adults44. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageC. is no

23、t especially important because the changeover takes place gradually D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because childrens use of words is often meaningless 45. The author implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. even after they have learnt to speak, children

24、 still enjoy imitating C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakD. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly BAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on th

25、e go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motiv

26、ation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material f

27、or managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between flight or fight and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or de

28、ath. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do

29、 so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _.A. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are traveling fast all the timeD. they are becoming bus

30、ier with their work than ever before47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _.A. strong will to hold out stressB. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance48. Which of the following statements is TRUE, a

31、ccording to the passage?A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.B. Stress is always harmful to peoples healthC. Its easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.49. In the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _.A.

32、 expose ourselves to stressB. find ways to deal with stressC. remove stress from our livesD. establish links between diseases and stress50. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _.A. to avoid it B. to try to cope with it C. to regard it as a vital motivation D. to find some re

33、laxation CIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French,and Englishand all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it m

34、ay soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation techn

35、ologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype(雛形機(jī)) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right

36、 next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)錄) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle move

37、ments made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named S

38、ang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthedwithout speaking alouda few words in Mandarin(普通話) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me

39、introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exc

40、hanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自發(fā)的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret tal

Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.C. There is no Muscle Translator in the wor

With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translato

46、e best price in buying a new car.Ideally, a dealership should help you find the right vehicle at a fair price. But some dealers place more emphasis on their profit margins than on satisfying their customers. Read the following situations and match the advice with them.56. Many dealerships prey on th

47、e unprepared. Going into a showroom “cold”-without having gathered key facts and preliminary(初步的) pricing figures-gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process.57. The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides. But the invoice price isnt necessari

48、ly what the dealer paid. There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses（幕后紅利）, such as dealer incentives and holdbacks, that give the dealer more profit margin.58. Salespeople like to mix financing, leasing, and trade-in negotiations together, often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure

49、. This tactic（策略） gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating figures in another.59. The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher rate than you could get elsewhere.60. Dealers often try to sell you extras such as rust proofing, fabric protection,

50、 and paint protectant, or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves.請(qǐng)結(jié)合以上情形，與下面的建議進(jìn)行匹配。When buying a car, keep your interests front and center-and avoid common pitfalls（缺陷） that can cost you extra money-by following these tips:A. Dont assume that the sticker price（標(biāo)

51、價(jià)） is the purchase price（買價(jià)）.To get the lowest price, go in with a starting price thats based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle.A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price, depending on t

52、he demand for the model.B. Do your homework. Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability, safety, fuel economy, and pricing of any models youre considering. And dont wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles. If you have a trade-in, know its

53、 approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicles age, condition, mileage, and equipment, as well as where you trade it in. C. Negotiate one thing at one time.Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the

54、same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price.Only after youve settled on the price should you discuss financing, leasing, or a trade-in, as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember, youre in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start

55、 a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer.D. Dont pay for extras you dont need.Dont accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale, put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability surveys show that rust

56、is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products. You can also do your own VIN etching with a kit that costs about $25.E. Other costs.In addition to the vehicle price, you need to consider other costs, including: S

57、ales tax ; Registration fees ; Insurance premiums Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more, and driving a car thats worth more than your current one will cost more to insure.
