12、ment” period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do bel

13、ieve this.According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents influence on their childrens well-being may never be greater than during the ear

14、liest years of life, when a childs brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment.However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人類學(xué)家) point out that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies

15、does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 BC, argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies s

16、how that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people.Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and c

17、aring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples.Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems wi

18、th it. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult

19、to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for

20、 young children.1、The passage mainly argues whether _.Achildren over three will accept school educationBchildren under three should be sent to nursery schoolsCthe family relationship is different in traditional societiesDearly day care should be totally replaced in modern societies2、Which of the fol

32、when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. Thats exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the “ugly food” movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.O

33、ne San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters (垃圾箱) where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea

34、 to bring about the awareness of Americas food waste problem. “There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,” he told Seekers Laura Ling.Treuhaft isnt alone in his effort to reduce Americas food waste. A request last year cal

35、led for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen (畸形的) fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Ra

36、leys, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called “Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had “some challenges sourcing the product” A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if t

37、he weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes i

38、t a step further by not only buying the ugly product, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.1、What does the underlined words “edible food” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AHealthy food. BExpensive food.CFood suitable to eat. DFood grown locally.2、Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners i

41、ngs as virtual speed breakers（減速帶） on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers, Indias transport minis

42、ter Nitin Gadkari wrote.The optical illusions(視覺錯(cuò)覺) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accid

43、ent deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has a

44、lso been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months o

45、f 2016. The artists say their motto is to increase the attention of drivers, and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point ou

46、t that Indias decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.1、Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?ATo make the surroundings more beautiful.BTo attract the attention of tourists.CT

47、o reduce the rate of traffic accidents.DTo show the advanced technology.2、Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?AReminder BThreat CRegulation DTheory3、What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?AThe use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial

48、 in India.BPhiladelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.CThe idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.DThe new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.4、What do we know about 3D zebra crossings from the text?AThey can immediately lower the death rate.

49、BThey have been widely used in India so far.CThey are designed to increase drivers attention.DThey are welcomed by both drivers and pedestrians.25（10分）Gorilla Study Reveals New ConnectionHumans and gorillas (大猩猩) shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years ago

50、. Research on how gorillas communicate can help us understand human language development. Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different e

51、xpressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study on gorillas revealed that right-handedness- preferring to use the right hand instead of the left hand for most physical activities-may have a connection with communication.Two cameras were used to film all of one apes movements. O

52、ne of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brains work and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the

53、results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans.Dr Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have a serious

54、 illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.1、When did the evolution of gorillas and humans

55、 separate?AMore than 5 million years ago. B7 million years ago.C23 million. DIts not known.2、Right-handedness in apes may have a connection with _.Aintelligence BcommunicationCsocial success Dconvenience3、The research team used _ to help to find the result.Avideo recording BphotographsCvoice recordi
