Ⅵ.阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

2024·苏州中学高一检测Young kids' brains are very sensitive (敏感的) to their mums' voices, as science has shown. But as kids grow into teens, everything changes. Teenagers' brains are now more sensitive to strangers' voices than those of their own mums', new research shows.

The researchers studied the brains of 7－ to 16－year－olds as they listened to things said by their mums or by unfamiliar women. The words were gibberish:__teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. Using such meaningless words allowed the scientists to study the voices, not what they were saying. As the kids listened, certain parts of their brains became active. This was especially true in brain areas that help us to find rewards and pay attention.

Daniel Abrams, a researcher at Stanford University, says that younger kids' brains respond more strongly to their mums' voices than to strangers'. “However, in adolescence(青春期), we show the exact opposite of that，” said Abrams.

“These areas in the adolescent brains don't stop responding to mums' voices，” Abrams explains. “It's just that unfamiliar voices become more worthy of attention. Here's why: As kids

grow up, they widen their social connections beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.”

But mums' voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their mums' voices on the phone.

The brain seems to adapt to new needs that come with adolescence. “As we grow up, our survival depends less and less on our mums' support，” says Leslie Seltzer, a biological anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin－Madison. “Instead we rely more and more on our friends and others closer to our own age.”

“So while both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, that's OK，” says Abrams. “This is the way the brain is wired, and there's a good reason for it.”

(　D　)1．What does the underlined word “gibberish” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Questions.　　　　B．Stories.

C．Sayings.    D．Nonsense.

(　A　)2．Why do teens become more sensitive to unfamiliar voices?

A．They need more connections.

B．They desire real understanding.

C．They are tired of their mums.

D．They have more energy to spare.

(　C　)3．What do teens think of their mums' voices according to the 2011 study?

A．Exciting.    B．Unpleasant.

C．Comforting.    D．Strange.

(　B　)4．What is Daniel Abrams's opinion on teens' change in their voice preference?

A．It deserves scientific prevention.

B．It is normal and understandable.

C．It is discouraging and problematic.

D．It negatively affects their growth.

【语篇解读】当孩子们变成青少年时，陌生的声音会变得比妈妈的声音更有吸引力，这其中是有科学依据的。

1．D　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt”和“Using such meaningless words(用这些无意义的词语)”可推知，画线词gibberish的意思是“无意义的话”，与nonsense的意思最为接近。故选D。

2．A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It's just that unfamiliar voices become more worthy of attention. Here's why: As kids grow up, they widen their social connections beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.(只是不熟悉的声音变得更值得关注。原因如下：随着孩子的成长，他们扩大了家庭以外的社会关系。所以他们的大脑需要开始更多地关注更广阔的世界。)”可知，青少年对陌生的声音反应更敏感是因为他们需要扩大自己的社会关系。故选A。

3．C　推理判断题。根据第五段“But mums' voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their mums' voices on the phone.(但2011年一项针对女孩的研究显示，母亲的声音仍然具有特殊的力量，尤其是在压力大的时候。当这些女孩在电话里听到妈妈的声音时，她们的压力水平下降了。)”可推断出，对于青少年来说，妈妈的声音让他们感到安慰。故选C。

4．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Abrams说的话，尤其是其中的 “that's OK” 和“there's a good reason for it”可推断出，Daniel Abrams认为青少年的声音偏爱的变化是正常且可以理解
