A.Monster B.David C.another tecnager D.programme host When we meet someone for the first time.we usually get a little sense of what kind of person be or sbe is by the way he or she shakes hands.talks,or walks.In the age of social networking.bowever.first impressions (are sometimes made even before we meet someone in person-that is.by looking at their profile photos () According to a recent study,these profile photos say n lot about people's personality )For example,outgoing people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting expericnces. However,neurotic people often bold back their bad feclings.They try to avoid showing their faces.So they often use something like a pet,a car or a building. "The colors used in them also give us some information about the photos'owners.For example,outgoing people were found to have the most colorful profile photos.as they want to show themseives off."the researchers wrote. "Although social media photos usually mean an extension (of oneself.ther also allow a user to show his or her own personality and how perfect they can be,"according to the researchers. So.when choosing a profile photo,maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of photo we'd like to show.After all, first impressions always last. 43.In social networking,we can know what kind of person someone is by A.the way he or she shakes hands B.taking a look at his or her profile photo C.talking or walking with him or ber D.asking his or her friends for some information 44.If Steve is outgoing,which profile photo would he like to choose? 45.What does the underlined word"they"refer to?

B.Outgoing people are different from ncurotic ones. C.We should be careful when we use the profile photos. D.Our profile photo shows what kind of persons we are. D Babies don't learn to talk just from heanng sounds.They are lip-readers too.It bappens during the stage when a baby's babbling (gradually changes from unclear voices into that first"mama"or"dada".The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are heanng,according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University,who led the study. Apparently it doesn't take tbem too long to leam about the movements that match basic sounds.By their first birthdays. babies start changing back to look you in the eye again.It is true that face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than,say.tuming on the latest baby DVD. But Lewkowicz went a step further.He and his student Amy Hansen-Tif tested nearly 180 babies,groups of them at ages 4,6,8,10 and 12 months.How?They showed videos of a woman speaking English or Spanish to babies of English speakers.They found that when the speaker used English,the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes.The 6-months-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth.The 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth.At 12 5 months,attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes. But what happened when these babies nccustomed to English heard Spanish?The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer.just like younger babies.They needed the extrn information to recognize the unfnmiliar sounds.That fits with research into bilingualism )that shows babics'brmins adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native langunge over other languages in the first year of life. The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fit for leaming.Babies are so hard to study that this is "a fairly heroic data set",says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum.who found the research so fnscinating that he wants to know more. 47.According to the first paragraph,babies A.might get its voice'mamo"by lip-reading B.leam to talk just from hearing the sounds C.like to figure out how to shape their lips D communicate with parents through gestures 48.What is necessary in developing babies'speech according to Lewkowicz? A.Playing baby DVD nearby. B.Teaching babies to read English. C.Speaking with babies face to face. D.Speaking different languages in front of babies. 49.Which of the following shows the right change of babies'eye gaze according to the text? Eye9a Eye gaze 4 8 12 Month 4 8 12 Month Eye gaze Eye gaze 4 8 12 Month 48 12 Month 50.What would be the best title of the text? A.Babies Have Different Methods to Talk B.Babies Try Lip-reading in Learning to Talk CBabics Are Suitable to Leam Two Languages D.Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language 五、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） Sometimes we may have a fever )And it makes us much more worried.If we are having a fever,there are some things that we can't do.51 Don't drink any drinks. "Soda and coffee should be refused when you have a fever,"says Pauline,a doctor about family medicine.They can cause dehydration(脱水). 52 "It's better not to put on too many clothes,"says Dr.Mannov.Your body will work harder to change your temperature 6 to a proper one and then it just makes your fever worse.

Cars bring us many conveniences. For example, people can save time by driving cars instead of spending a long time waiting for buses. Cars also make it easier for people to travel long distances. However, more and more cars also bring some problems. Firstly, the increasing number of cars wastes energy. Secondly, cars cause air pollution and traffic jams, which have a negative impact on our environment and daily life. In my opinion, we should use cars reasonably and try to reduce the negative effects. We can choose to walk, ride a bike or take public transportation more often to protect the environment and save energy. At the same time, the government should also take measures to control the number of cars and improve the traffic system. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
