To kick off their project, Denise introduced her group (19 first graders and 8 fifth graders) to community mapping.“Where do you live？What's the name of your county？What's the name of your state？” she asked. “So it starts in your own backyard，” she explains, “and it progresses across the street to the park, where you see urban wildlife, and finally you start to look at the bigger picture.” Students then observed homeless cats outside their school, and together, they took action to return them to where they were found. The students led the entire project.“I was just a guide，” says Denise.“But that's the point：They are going to love science and animals.They know they are the future and that they are the people who are the keepers of this planet.”She also notes that students come to understand what positive choices can have：They discover their own strengths and even weaknesses.They identify partners' efforts and they form friendships and bonds. But ultimately, says Denise, “my goal was to try to teach compassion, namely sympathy.” That's the biggest payoff she tries to convey to her students. For other educators with a willing heart, she offers a few words of advice：Get students outside—even just to walk around the school grounds, guide them to build trust and put themselves in others' shoes, and never give up! 语篇导读　主题语境：人与自我/学校生活。本文为记叙文，讲述了主人公丹尼斯在学校发起了“根与芽”项目，激发学生的同情心和探索欲。 4．What does the underlined phrase “that same connection” probably refer to? A．Love for nature and animals. B．Desire for a higher social status. C．Denise and Goodall's relationship. D．Courage to explore the unknown. 答案　A 解析　词句猜测题。画线短语的上文讲到，和简博士一样，拥有林业背景的丹尼斯总是与自然和动物联系在一起。不久之后，她在学校发起了“根与芽”项目。由此可知，画线短语that same connection可能指的是“热爱自然和动物”，故选A项。 5．Which of the following might Denise agree with? A．There are many homeless cats to handle. B．A bigger picture is built on urban wildlife. C．Change may start from small things around. D．Every kid should know their own county. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中So it starts in your own backyard…to look at the bigger picture可推知，丹尼斯可能同意的观点是改变可能从身边的小事开始，故选C项。 6．What is the third Paragraph mainly about? A．Ways to brave hardships in life. B．The project's impact on students. C．Links between human and nature. D．Challenges to face in the future. 答案　B 解析　段落大意题。第三段主要讲的是项目对学生的影响，故选B项。 7．What does Denise most highlight in teaching? A．Being sympathetic. B．Remaining responsible. C．Staying determined.

In the study, researchers looked at 11- and 12-month-old babies' vocalisations, gestures and gaze behaviours, and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure the interactions, the researchers videoed infants(婴儿) and caregivers at home，and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university. The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalisations while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregivers. The statistics showed that at 19 months，children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words. “The message of this paper is that it is the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development，” said McGillion, a co-author of the work. “The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context…across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.It can happen when you're doing the laundry，for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks…in the park, in the car, at mealtimes, at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context，” added McGillion. “This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours.It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there，” said Donnellan，the lead author on the study. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/人际沟通。本文为说明文。一项研究表明和婴儿的眼神以及语言交流越多，孩子的语言能力就越好。 8．How did the researchers get the findings? A．By interacting with babies. B．By asking babies to vocalize. C．By analyzing relevant recordings. D．By referring to the previous statistics. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，研究人员通过分析相关录像得到这一发现，故选C项。 9．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．Infants' eye contact. B．Infants' larger vocabulary. C．The response from caregivers. D．The best predictor of vocabulary. 答案　B 解析　代词指代题。根据第四段和第五段首句可知，这里的it指代的是上文婴儿更大的词汇量，故选B项。 10．What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour? A．It's easy to perform. B．It's complex to understand. C．It's difficult to copy. D．It's interesting to video. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第六段可推测，这种互动的表现是很容易去执行的，故选A项。 11．What might further studies be on? A．Children's academic progress. B．Children's growing environment. C．Children's potential physical development. D．Children's behaviours across more age ranges. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，进一步的研究应该是去研究儿童在更多年龄段的行为，故选D项。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Just a few years ago, Cindy Riley of New York City was frightened by computers. “I had a fear that if I touched a button it would mess up another button，” she says. 　1　 About one-third of Americans 65 and older don't use the Internet, according to a study.Even among those who use it, around one-third aren't confident when performing tasks online. Riley was fortunate, though.　2　 She signed up and not only overcame her fears, but also made friends with others facing the same challenge. In today's connected world, the access and use of technology by older Americans is important to building and keeping a social network.A study found that greater technology use was associated with better health and higher well-being.　3　 Thanks to the classes, Riley is staying more involved in her social circle through her computer and her cellphone.She uses technology to text her grandchildren, other relatives and friends, to follow the news about her native Jamaica, and to make travel reservations(预订)． Riley is an enthusiastic student at Senior Planet, a program run by Older Adults Technology Services(OATS), a New York City-based nonprofit that has offered more than 35,000 classes since it began in 2004.　4　 The vast majority of participants report that they have made friends through the program. OATS is far from the only organization serving elderly people who may be fearful of technology.People learned about using iPads at an American Association of Retired Persons(AARP) workshop.　5　 In 2018 alone, AARP expects to train about 30,000 people age 50 and older.The basic class includes such topics as searching the Internet, taking and sharing photos, and downloading apps. A．Riley is self-taught technical professional. B．Riley, now 70, was hardly alone in her fear of technology. C．The average age of students at OATS is 74；some are in their 90s. D．She learned about a program offering free tech classes to older adults. E．AARP offers free technology training in 36 markets across the country. F．The study also found that technology use reduced feelings of loneliness. G．However, the overuse of technology may have a great side effect on people's health. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/社会服务与人际沟通。本文为新闻报道。越来越多的技术培训项目帮助老年人建立与社会的联系、树立自信。 1．答案　B 解析　顺承关系。根据上一段第一句可知，Cindy Riley对操作电脑感到恐惧，再根据下文可知，美国约三分之一的65岁以上的老年人不用网络，在使用互联网的老人中有约三分之一的老人对技术操作不自信，由此可知，Cindy Riley并不是唯一对技术恐惧的老年人，故选B项。 2．答案　D 解析　解释关系。根据空处上下文以及倒数第二段第一句可知，Riley得知OATS这个项目为老年人提供技术培训课，她报名参加后不仅克服了恐惧，而且交了很多朋友，故选D项。 3．答案　F 解析　递进关系。F项(该研究也表明使用技术会减少孤独感)与空前一句呈递进关系，且与本段第一句(主题句)以及空后一句相互呼应，符合此处语境，故选F项。 4．答案　C 解析　顺承关系。C项中的students at OATS呼应该空前一句中的Older Adults Technology Services(OATS)和空后一句中的The vast majority of participants，符合此处语境，故选C项。 5．答案　E 解析　解释关系。空前一句提到AARP workshop，E项提到的“AARP在全国开设免费技术培训课程”与空后一句相互呼应，符合此处语境，故选E项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
