So when these two young bookworms heard that some children didn’t have access to books, they believed that was a problem they just couldn’t 32 .

Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty of the spirit. 41 , one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides (自杀) every year by children under 15, and one child 42 five needs psychiatric (心理) advice. There are many good things about 43 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 44 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 45 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 46 and often shares in that work. A child 47 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s work: helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies — rather than through playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 48 playing with dolls. These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the Western children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 49 , are provided with a watch as one of the 50 signs of growing up, so that they can 51 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows. Third World children do not usually 52 to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments (公寓). Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of 53 to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them 54 from ten floors up. 55 , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease. But childhood in the Third World is not all bad. 41．A．As usual B．In other words C．In fact D．For instance 42．A．by B．under C．to D．in 43．A．spirit B．pity C．childhood D．present 44．A．neighbours B．fathers C．adults D．relatives 45．A．Instead B．However C．Anyhow D．Still 46．A．away B．nearby C．along D．alone 47．A．playing B．living through C．growing up D．working 48．A．or B．but C．and D．so 49．A．on the other hand B．at the same time C．at any moment D．on the whole 50．A．easiest B．quickest C．happiest D．earliest 51．A．shake B．ensure C．care D．arrange 52．A．have B．expect C．dare D．require 53．A．control B．freedom C．disappointment D．danger 54．A．impatiently B．eagerly C．anxiously D．proudly 55．A．Of course B．In the end C．Above all D．What’s more 【答案】 41．D 42．D 43．C 44．C 45．A 46．B 47．C 48．A 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过对比第三世界与富裕国家的童年状况，揭示了一个核心观点：第三世界的儿童面临生存的艰辛，但富裕国家的儿童却可能遭遇“精神贫困”；同时也客观指出，第三世界的童年并非毫无优势，反而存在亲子关系紧密、成长空间自由等独特亮点。 41．考查介词短语辨析。句意：例如，仅一个西方国家每年就有1.4万名15岁以下儿童试图自杀，且每五名儿童中就有一名需要心理咨询。A. As usual像往常一样；B. In other words换句话说；C. In fact事实上；D. For instance例如。根据上文“But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty of the spirit.”以及下文“one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides (自杀) every year by children under 15”可知，上文提出“富裕国家儿童可能遭受精神贫困”的观点，下文紧接着用“某西方国家15岁以下儿童每年1.4万起自杀未遂、每5个孩子就有1个需要心理咨询”的具体数据支撑观点。此处是举例说明。故选D。 42．考查介词词义辨析。句意：句意：例如，仅一个西方国家每年就有1.4万名15岁以下儿童试图自杀，且每五名儿童中就有一名需要心理咨询。A. by通过；B. under在……下；C. to到；D. in在……中。one in five是固定搭配，表示“五分之一”。故选D。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：第三世界的童年有很多可取之处。A. spirit精神；B. pity遗憾；C. childhood童年时期；D. present礼物。根据上文“The survey about childhood in the Third World”可知，本篇文章是关于儿童时期的调查研究。故选C。 44．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在西方，工作的本质让成年人和孩子之间产生了距离。句意：A. neighbours邻居；B. fathers父亲；C. adults成人；D. relatives亲属。根据下文“mother and father, relations and neighbours”可知，此处指成人和孩子们之间的关系。故选C。 45．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，孩子能看到父母、亲友和邻居在附近劳作，且常常能参与其中。A. Instead相反地；B. However然而；C. Anyhow无论如何；D. Still仍然。根据上文“In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 　　　 and children.”以及下文“the child sees mother and father”可知，上文提到西方“父母与孩子疏远”，下文提到第三世界“父母与孩子亲近”，形成鲜明对比，“Instead（相反）”可衔接这种“反向对比”关系。故选A。 46．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，孩子能看到父母、亲友和邻居在附近劳作，且常常能参与其中。A. away离开；B. nearby附近；C. along和……一起；D. alone独自。根据上文“do not go miles away”可知，父母在附近工作。故选B。 47．考查动词短语和动词词义辨析。句意：以这种方式成长的孩子，通过参与社区劳动来学习自身的社会角色：帮忙挖掘、建造，照料动物或婴儿——而非在幼儿园里玩沙戏水、养宠物或是玩洋娃娃。A. playing玩耍；B. living through亲身经历并度过；C. growing up长大；D. working工作。根据下文“These children may grow up”可知，此处指的是孩子们的成长方式。故选C。 48．考查连词词义辨析。句意：以这种方式成长的孩子，通过参与社区劳动来学习自身的社会角色：帮忙挖掘、建造，照料动物或婴儿——而非在幼儿园里玩沙戏水、养宠物或是玩洋娃娃。A. or或者；B. but但是；C. and而且；D. so所以。上文“playing with water and sand”、“keeping pets”和下文“playing with dolls”是并列的“幼儿园活动”，且用在“rather than（而非）”之后，表选择关系。故选A。 49．考查副词短语辨析。句意：另一方面，富裕国家的儿童会得到一块手表，作为成长过程中最早的标志之一，这样他们就能和父母一样在意上学、吃饭、睡觉以及电视节目的时间是否迟到。A. on the other hand另一方面；B. at the same time与此同时；C. at any moment在任何时刻；D. on the whole整体上。根据上文描述的是第三世界的孩子童年成长方式以及空前“Children in the rich world”可知，此处话题进行了转折。故选A。 50．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：另一方面，富裕国家的儿童会得到一块手表，作为成长过程中最早的标志之一，这样他们就能和父母一样在意上学、吃饭、睡觉以及电视节目的时间是否迟到。A. easiest最容易的；B. quickest最快的；C. happiest最快乐的；D. earliest最早的。根据下文“along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows”可知，西方文化中，手表是儿童“开始学习管理时间”的早期象征，结合“成长标志”的语境，“earliest（最早的）”最合理——手表是孩子成长中较早接触的“时间工具”。故选D。 51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：另一方面，富裕国家的儿童会得到一块手表，作为成长过程中最早的标志之一，这样他们就能和父母一样在意上学、吃饭、睡觉以及电视节目的时间是否迟到。A. shake摇动；B. ensure保证；C. care关心；D. arrange安排。根据下文“about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows”可知，此处指的是和父母一起留意各种时间，短语care about表示“留意”。故选C。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：第三世界的孩子通常不必待在室内，更不用说待在高层公寓里了。A. have有；B. expect期待；C. dare敢；D. require要求。根据下文“still less in high-rise apartments (公寓)”可知，第三世界的孩子们不必常待在室内，have to表示“不得不”，与否定词not连用表示“不必”。故选A。 53．考查动词词义辨析。句意：那里没有危险的马路、“禁止践踏草坪”的标识和“不要和陌生人说话”的告诫，取而代之的是学习和玩耍的自由。A. control控制；B. freedom自由；C. disappointment失望；D. danger危险。根据上文“Instead of dangerous roads, ‘keep off the grass’ signs and ‘don’t speak to strangers’”可知，第三世界的孩子们有相对的自由。故选B。 54．考查副词词义辨析。句意：父母能看到孩子在户外活动，而非从十楼之上焦虑地注视着他们。A. impatiently不耐烦地；B. eagerly渴望地；C. anxiously焦虑地；D. proudly骄傲地。根据上文“Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers””可知，西方父母因孩子在“危险道路、有禁止标识的环境”中活动，且无法近距离看到，故会焦虑地注视。故选C。 55．考查副词短语辨析。句意：当然，每年仍有1200万五岁以下儿童因饥饿和疾病夭折。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book. It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn’t thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too. When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills (逐步培养) a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. 56．What impressed the author most? A．His mother read to him during his childhood. B．Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace. C．They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series. D．He imitated the characters in the book. 57．What made the author have contradictory feelings? A．He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum. B．He did everything when others were asleep. C．He was always lost in the crowd. D．He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it. 58．Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage? A．It helps kids perform well in elementary school. B．It helps kids form a sense of security. C．It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. D．It helps adults find answers and rules. 59．What is the passage mainly aimed at? A．Calling on kids to read more classical literature. B．Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C．Advertising for National Children’s book week. D．Relieving everyday stress. 【答案】56．A 57．D 58．B 59．B 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者深情回忆童年母亲深夜为自己读书的美好时光，成为父母后理解母亲的付出。借自身经历强调亲子共读对孩子成长意义重大，还能助成年人缓解压力，倡导亲子共读。 56．细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. (我童年最美好的回忆之一是我母亲给我读书的时候。)”以及后文对母亲给作者读书的各种描述可知，作者童年时母亲给他读书这件事给他留下了最深刻的印象。故选A项。 57．推理判断题。根据第二段“It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. (这本来可能是她在照顾孩子和丈夫一整天后放松的时间，但相反，当我从床上溜下来，在其他人都睡着后踮着脚尖回到客厅时，她会微笑。作为11个孩子中最小的一个，有时很容易在人群中被忽视，而我珍惜那些时刻；我可以坐在她身边，知道那是只属于我的时间。)”可知，母亲本可以在那时放松，而作者却占用了母亲的放松时间，但他又很享受和母亲在一起的这些时刻，所以作者有这种矛盾的感觉。故选D项。 58．细节理解题。根据第五段“Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and installs (逐步培养) a sense of security they never forget. (除了帮孩子培养阅读兴趣，这也是一种与孩子拉近距离的美好方式，还能为他们逐步培养起一份终生难忘的安全感。)”可知，亲子共读的好处是能帮助孩子形成安全感。故选B项。 59．推理判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段“Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. ( 读书并任想象驰骋，并非孩童专属。每当生活忙碌到极点、压力最大时，我会找本书，让自己沉浸其中片刻。读书、刷平板或窝在电视前放松，三者的区别在于：读书时，故事的模样能由你想象塑造，阅读节奏也能完全由自己掌控。我就喜欢这一点。)”可知，文章开篇讲述了作者童年时母亲给他读书的美好回忆，接着阐述了自己成为父母后对亲子共读的理解，以及亲子共读的好处，最后还提到阅读对成年人放松的作用，整体围绕亲子共读展开，目的是推广亲子共读的理念。故选B项。 B The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day — which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity. “In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation,” Dr. Tasali said. “Now we’ve shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight.” 63．What’s the new finding of the research? A．Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B．Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C．Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D．Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. 64．What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2? A．Harmful. B．Unique. C．Lasting. D．Apparent. 65．According to the text, the subject of the study ________. A．usually slept 6.5 hours per night B．were 80 adults of the similar age group C．got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D．were particularly chosen from a certain place 66．What do researchers think of the study? A．Its results are hard to explain clearly. B．It lays a foundation for further studies. C．It’s unreliable with many factors ignored. D．It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. 【答案】63．B 64．A 65．C 66．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项研究结果，在现实生活中，睡眠延长会减少能量摄入，致使习惯性缩短睡眠时间的超重成年人出现负能量平衡，睡眠时间不足已日益被认为是肥胖的一个重要因素。 63．细节理解题。根据第一段“In a clinical trial with 80 adults, a team of researchers found that sleep extension reduced energy intake and resulted in a negative energy balance in real-life settings among adults with overweight who habitually reduced their sleep duration (持续时间). (在一项针对80名成年人的临床试验中，一组研究人员发现，在现实生活中，睡眠延长会减少能量摄入，致使习惯性缩短睡眠时间的超重成年人出现负能量平衡。)”可知，这项研究发现，延长睡眠时间有助于减少热量摄入。故选B。 64．词句猜测题。根据下文“Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. (特别是，睡眠时间不足已日益被认为是肥胖的一个重要因素。)”可知，睡眠不足对健康有害，故画线词所在句意为“大量证据表明，经常每晚睡眠不足7小时与不良健康结果有关”，由此可知，adverse意为“有害的”。故选A。 65．细节理解题。根据第三段“The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. (经过个性化的睡眠咨询后，参与者每晚的睡眠时间平均增加了1.2小时。)”可知，研究对象得到了适合自己的睡眠建议。故选C。 66．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity. (最终，研究人员希望研究出解释这些结果的潜在机制，并相信他们的工作应该鼓励新的、更大规模的体重控制研究，以确定延长睡眠是否可以支持减肥计划，并有助于预防或逆转肥胖。)”可知，研究人员认为这项研究为进一步的研究奠定了基础。故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Top College Graduates Get Paid More, but do They Perform Better? Is a top university a good predictor of job performance? Our research shows yes-but only to an extent. We tracked the performance of 28,339 graduates from 294 universities, ranging from the top 10 to the top 20,000. 67 Importantly, we didn’t just measure output quality, but also a wide range of hard and soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Our findings offer comfort to recruiters. After accounting for age, gender, and year of study, we found graduates from top universities performed only slightly better, and only in certain areas. 68 The first was selection: higher-ranked universities usually can choose from a larger pool of applicants, which leads to steeper competition and a higher quality of the incoming class. Corroborating the selectivity hypothesis, our data demonstrated that students at higher-ranked universities indeed score higher on general cognitive ability tests, have more international experience, better English proficiency, and higher cultural intelligence. Second, higher-ranked universities should provide better training. Top universities employ better instructors, offer access to better-equipped facilities, attract better speakers and guests to campus, which in turn, should lead to better training and subsequent performance. Finally, it might be expected that higher-ranked institutions might provide a more stimulating academic environment. 69 Having notable, hardworking, celebrity-status professors, along with being around intelligent, highly-motivated, achievement-oriented peers, positively affects self-efficacy, motivation, effort, and work ethic. Despite their slightly better overall performance, hiring graduates from higher-ranked institutions could have a downside. Our data suggest that students from higher-ranked universities might damage team cooperation, sometimes carelessly. 70 In some instances, graduates from top universities tend to be less friendly, are more prone to conflict, and are less likely to identify with their team. A．Indeed, education is not only lectures and seminars. B．However, our study revealed no difference in the following aspects. C．They clearly know that interpersonal relationships at work play a critical role in career success. D．They tend to excessively focus on the instrumental tasks, paying insufficient attention to interpersonal relationships. E．We also found several reasons why the graduates from the top universities performed better than those from the lower-ranked schools. F．We observed the students’ performance for two months as they were working in global virtual teams on real-life business consulting projects. 【答案】67．F 68．E 69．A 70．D 【导语】这是一篇议论文，文章围绕 “顶尖大学毕业生薪资更高，但工作表现是否更出色” 展开，通过对2.8万余名不同排名大学毕业生的追踪研究，分析顶尖大学毕业生工作表现的优势、原因及潜在不足。 67．上文“We tracked the performance of 28,339 graduates from 294 universities, ranging from the top 10 to the top 20,000. (我们追踪了来自294所大学的28339名毕业生的表现，这些大学排名从 Top10 到 Top20000 不等。)”提到了“追踪毕业生表现”，但未说明具体追踪场景；下文“Importantly, we didn’t just measure output quality, but also a wide range of hard and soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence. (重要的是，我们不仅衡量工作产出质量，还衡量一系列硬技能和软技能，如团队合作、领导力和情商。)”则补充了“衡量的维度”。需要一句衔接“追踪场景”的句子。选项F“我们观察了这些学生两个月，期间他们在全球虚拟团队中处理现实商业咨询项目。”具体说明了“追踪表现”的场景，填补了上文“追踪”的细节空白，同时为下文“衡量技能”提供了合理的背景。故选F。 68．上文“we found graduates from top universities performed only slightly better, and only in certain areas. (我们发现顶尖大学的毕业生表现仅略好一些，且只在特定领域如此。)”提出了“顶尖大学毕业生表现略好”的结论；下文“The first was selection... (第一个原因是筛选机制……)”以及“Second, higher-ranked universities should provide better training... (其次，排名更高的大学应能提供更好的培训……)”则开始分析“表现略好”的原因。需要一句引出“原因分析”的句子。选项E“我们还发现了顶尖大学毕业生比排名较低大学毕业生表现更好的几个原因。” 直接承接上文的“表现略好”，并明确引出下文的“原因列举”，起到了承上启下的过渡作用。故选E。 69．上文“Finally, it might be expected that higher-ranked institutions might provide a more stimulating academic environment. (最后，人们可能会认为，排名更高的院校可能会提供更具激励性的学术环境。)”提出了“激励性学术环境”的观点；下文“Having notable, hardworking, celebrity-status professors, along with being around intelligent, highly-motivated, achievement-oriented peers, positively affects self-efficacy, motivation, effort, and work ethic. (拥有著名的、勤奋的、名人地位的教授，以及周围聪明、上进心强、以成就为导向的同龄人，对自我效能、动机、努力和职业道德都有积极的影响。)”则具体解释了“激励性环境”的构成和作用。需要一句衔接“环境”与“具体影响”的句子。选项A“事实上，教育不仅仅是讲座和研讨会。”打破了对“教育”的传统认知，暗示“激励性环境”（如教授、同学）也是教育的一部分，为下文具体阐述“环境如何影响学生”做了铺垫。故选A。 70．上文“Our data suggest that students from higher-ranked universities might damage team cooperation, sometimes carelessly. (我们的数据显示，排名更高大学的学生可能会破坏团队合作，有时甚至是无意间的。)”提出了“顶尖大学毕业生可能影响团队合作”的问题；下文“In some instances, graduates from top universities tend to be less friendly, are more prone to conflict, and are less likely to identify with their team. (在某些情况下，顶尖大学的毕业生往往不太友好，更容易发生冲突，也不太可能认同他们的团队。)”则进一步补充了“破坏团队合作”的具体表现。需要一句解释“破坏团队合作”原因的句子。选项D“他们往往过度关注工具性任务，对人际关系关注不足。”从“关注重点偏差”的角度，解释了上文“破坏团队合作”的核心原因，同时与下文“不够友好、易冲突”的表现形成逻辑呼应。故选D。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Why can’t adults talk normally to babies? In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child? Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that? It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours. To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Adults use baby talk, a distinctive speech, to engage with babies for several reasons. First, it captures their attention through expressive facial expressions and vocalizations. Second, it builds emotional bonds, providing a sense of security. Research indicates that babies, regardless of cultural background, instinctively prefer baby talk. So make it part of your interaction.

It’s changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives. It’s easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you’re ready to go!

Over 30%. 15. A. British senior managers. B. Patients in mental hospital. C. Prime ministers. D. American presidents. 16. A. Factors of affecting people’s success. B. Importance of keeping emotional health. C. Encouraging children to have ambitions. D. Relationships between hardship and success. 【答案】14. D 15. A 16. D 【解析】 【原文】In raising clever kids, there are exceptions. It’s maltreatment that seems to fuel exceptional achievement more than anything. It’s not a gene that enables it—it’s great difficulty. For instance, one in three exceptional achievers in all fields that have been studied lost a parent before the age of 15 (compared with 18% before modern medicine). That applies equally to prime ministers, American presidents, British business people and exceptional writers. These people are driven by the pain of loss. Of course, exceptional success does require exceptionally hard work. Staying comfortable is not the way. It creates needy, hungry and lonely adults. Emotional grief leads to exceptional achievers. British senior managers are actually more likely to be self-centered than patients in mental hospitals. It’s the same in the arts. If you really care a lot about having an exceptional child, you should ensure that your children love you and you love them. By all means have ambitions for them. A child whose parents have no ambition is emotionally neglected, but if they are going to be emotionally healthy and exceptional achievers, ambitions really come from them. Questions: 14. Among exceptionally successful people, what percentage of them lose a parent before the age of 15? 15. Which of the following are more likely to be self-centered according to the passage? 16. What is the passage mainly about? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 17. A. Because he thought smoking would do good to his heart. B. Because he didn’t believe smoking would be that harmful. C. Because he thought smoking could help him feel relaxed. D. Because he believed smoking could make him feel excited. 18. A. Air pollution. B. Smoke. C. Secondhand smoke. D. Thirdhand smoke. 19. A. Because the government hasn’t taken any effective measures to stop smoking. B. Because each year many children’s death is connected with secondhand smoke. C. Because smoking and secondhand smoke do more harm to children than adults. D. Because the government has passed the relevant law to prevent from smoking. 20. A. The smell of tobacco smoke left on things such as clothes, furniture and so on. B. The tobacco smoke accidentally caused by the third person who smokes nearby. C. The poisonous chemicals released from things like clothes, furniture and so on. D. The poisonous chemicals from tobacco smoke left on things like clothes etc. 【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【原文】Brent: Hello, Alison. Alison: Hi, Brent. You look great! Are you on a diet? Brent: No, but I am getting more exercise. And I did quit smoking recently. Alison: Quit smoking? I thought you said smoking helped relieve your stress. Brent: It did at first. But after I became more aware of the harmful effects of smoking, my perspective changed. Alison: It must have been something pretty serious. Brent: It was. I’ve been smoking for years, but last month I started coughing really badly. Alison: That’s scary. It’s true that smoking can cause lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Brent: I had read about that stuff and didn’t think it applied to me until I got that cough. Then I realized I should take it seriously. Alison: And now that you’ve quit, the people around you won’t be affected by secondhand smoke. Brent: I know! Recently, I’ve been on my friend’s case to quit smoking now that she’s pregnant. Alison: That’s very dangerous. The baby could get asthma which will affect its entire life. Brent: I read a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) that said a top cause of death for children under the age of five is air pollution. Much of that is from secondhand smoke. Alison: Oh, what else? Brent: The report also said that secondhand smoke and air pollution result in about 570,000 child deaths around the world each year. The true harm of tobacco smoke is that it is a silent killer. Have you ever heard of thirdhand smoke? Alison: You mean the poisonous chemicals from tobacco smoke that are left on things like clothes and furniture? Brent: Exactly. So there’s really no avoiding the poisons left behind by smoking. Alison: Even using a fan or air conditioner can’t get rid of the remains. The poison remains on surfaces for at least six months and is especially dangerous for babies and young children. Brent: I used to think smoking was just a matter of personal choice. But obviously there are more things to consider. Alison: I can imagine quitting smoking wasn’t easy. But you made the right choice. Good for you. 17. Why hadn’t Brent intended to give up smoking? 18. What is the main reason of death for children under the age of five according to a report ? 19. Why did Brent say tobacco smoke is a silent killer? 20. What does third-hand smoke mean according to the conversation? 试卷第6页，共7页 ( 19 / 19 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $g999 2025-2026学年高二英语上学期第三次月考 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 标记 准考证号 □ 贴条形码区 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 注意事项 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，并 2 2 2 2 2 认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 2345678 2345678 3 2345678 3 23 34 3 23 3 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5m 4 4 4 4 黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整。 45678 5 45678 5 5 6 6 3.请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范围 6 678 6 6 6 的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 78 7 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂 8 8 78 改液、刮纸刀。 9 9 9 9 9 5.正确填涂 ■ 9 9 9 选择题 (请用2B 铅笔填涂〉 C 6 A B D 11 A D) C D BB 7890 C 3 A B C A D 61789 毁 B IA 23415 A 20 [AIIBIICI DI C 578 B 招锡4 BBB 12345 BBB BBB 5 IA C D 60 Di A [AT D a位6 BBB D BBB 65 67880 A ic i 非选择题 (请在各试题的答题区内作答) Ⅱ、Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分，共20分) Section A 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 英语第1贝（共2贝） 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ Section B ! 31 32 33 34 35. ! : 36 37. 38 39. 40. !

They both love reading so much that it is almost impossible to 31 a favourite book. “I have many favourite books. If I had to select one, it would be Believe It or Not,” Hannah said. So when these two young bookworms heard that some children didn’t have access to books, they believed that was a problem they just couldn’t 32 .

Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty of the spirit. 41 , one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides (自杀) every year by children under 15, and one child 42 five needs psychiatric (心理) advice. There are many good things about 43 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 44 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 45 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 46 and often shares in that work. A child 47 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s work: helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies — rather than through playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 48 playing with dolls. These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the Western children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 49 , are provided with a watch as one of the 50 signs of growing up, so that they can 51 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows. Third World children do not usually 52 to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments (公寓). Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of 53 to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them 54 from ten floors up. 55 , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease. But childhood in the Third World is not all bad. 41．A．As usual B．In other words C．In fact D．For instance 42．A．by B．under C．to D．in 43．A．spirit B．pity C．childhood D．present 44．A．neighbours B．fathers C．adults D．relatives 45．A．Instead B．However C．Anyhow D．Still 46．A．away B．nearby C．along D．alone 47．A．playing B．living through C．growing up D．working 48．A．or B．but C．and D．so 49．A．on the other hand B．at the same time C．at any moment D．on the whole 50．A．easiest B．quickest C．happiest D．earliest 51．A．shake B．ensure C．care D．arrange 52．A．have B．expect C．dare D．require 53．A．control B．freedom C．disappointment D．danger 54．A．impatiently B．eagerly C．anxiously D．proudly 55．A．Of course B．In the end C．Above all D．What’s more Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book. It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn’t thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too. When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills (逐步培养) a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. 56．What impressed the author most? A．His mother read to him during his childhood. B．Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace. C．They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series. D．He imitated the characters in the book. 57．What made the author have contradictory feelings? A．He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum. B．He did everything when others were asleep. C．He was always lost in the crowd. D．He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it. 58．Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage? A．It helps kids perform well in elementary school. B．It helps kids form a sense of security. C．It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. D．It helps adults find answers and rules. 59．What is the passage mainly aimed at? A．Calling on kids to read more classical literature. B．Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C．Advertising for National Children’s book week. D．Relieving everyday stress. B The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day — which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity. “In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation,” Dr. Tasali said. “Now we’ve shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight.” 63．What’s the new finding of the research? A．Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B．Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C．Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D．Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. 64．What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2? A．Harmful. B．Unique. C．Lasting. D．Apparent. 65．According to the text, the subject of the study ________. A．usually slept 6.5 hours per night B．were 80 adults of the similar age group C．got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D．were particularly chosen from a certain place 66．What do researchers think of the study? A．Its results are hard to explain clearly. B．It lays a foundation for further studies. C．It’s unreliable with many factors ignored. D．It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Top College Graduates Get Paid More, but do They Perform Better? Is a top university a good predictor of job performance? Our research shows yes-but only to an extent. We tracked the performance of 28,339 graduates from 294 universities, ranging from the top 10 to the top 20,000. 67 Importantly, we didn’t just measure output quality, but also a wide range of hard and soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Our findings offer comfort to recruiters. After accounting for age, gender, and year of study, we found graduates from top universities performed only slightly better, and only in certain areas. 68 The first was selection: higher-ranked universities usually can choose from a larger pool of applicants, which leads to steeper competition and a higher quality of the incoming class. Corroborating the selectivity hypothesis, our data demonstrated that students at higher-ranked universities indeed score higher on general cognitive ability tests, have more international experience, better English proficiency, and higher cultural intelligence. Second, higher-ranked universities should provide better training. Top universities employ better instructors, offer access to better-equipped facilities, attract better speakers and guests to campus, which in turn, should lead to better training and subsequent performance. Finally, it might be expected that higher-ranked institutions might provide a more stimulating academic environment. 69 Having notable, hardworking, celebrity-status professors, along with being around intelligent, highly-motivated, achievement-oriented peers, positively affects self-efficacy, motivation, effort, and work ethic. Despite their slightly better overall performance, hiring graduates from higher-ranked institutions could have a downside. Our data suggest that students from higher-ranked universities might damage team cooperation, sometimes carelessly. 70 In some instances, graduates from top universities tend to be less friendly, are more prone to conflict, and are less likely to identify with their team. A．Indeed, education is not only lectures and seminars. B．However, our study revealed no difference in the following aspects. C．They clearly know that interpersonal relationships at work play a critical role in career success. D．They tend to excessively focus on the instrumental tasks, paying insufficient attention to interpersonal relationships. E．We also found several reasons why the graduates from the top universities performed better than those from the lower-ranked schools. F．We observed the students’ performance for two months as they were working in global virtual teams on real-life business consulting projects. IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Why can’t adults talk normally to babies? In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child? Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that? It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours. To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me. When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book. It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn’t thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too. When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills (逐步培养) a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. 56．What impressed the author most? A．His mother read to him during his childhood. B．Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace. C．They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series.

A．It helps kids perform well in elementary school. B．It helps kids form a sense of security. C．It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. D．It helps adults find answers and rules. 59．What is the passage mainly aimed at? A．Calling on kids to read more classical literature. B．Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C．Advertising for National Children’s book week. D．Relieving everyday stress. B The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session. Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day — which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity. “In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation,” Dr. Tasali said. “Now we’ve shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight.” 63．What’s the new finding of the research? A．Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. B．Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. C．Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D．Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. 64．What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2? A．Harmful. B．Unique. C．Lasting. D．Apparent. 65．According to the text, the subject of the study ________. A．usually slept 6.5 hours per night B．were 80 adults of the similar age group C．got advice on sleep tailored to themselves D．were particularly chosen from a certain place 66．What do researchers think of the study? A．Its results are hard to explain clearly. B．It lays a foundation for further studies. C．It’s unreliable with many factors ignored. D．It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Top College Graduates Get Paid More, but do They Perform Better? Is a top university a good predictor of job performance? Our research shows yes-but only to an extent. We tracked the performance of 28,339 graduates from 294 universities, ranging from the top 10 to the top 20,000. 67 Importantly, we didn’t just measure output quality, but also a wide range of hard and soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Our findings offer comfort to recruiters. After accounting for age, gender, and year of study, we found graduates from top universities performed only slightly better, and only in certain areas. 68 The first was selection: higher-ranked universities usually can choose from a larger pool of applicants, which leads to steeper competition and a higher quality of the incoming class. Corroborating the selectivity hypothesis, our data demonstrated that students at higher-ranked universities indeed score higher on general cognitive ability tests, have more international experience, better English proficiency, and higher cultural intelligence. Second, higher-ranked universities should provide better training. Top universities employ better instructors, offer access to better-equipped facilities, attract better speakers and guests to campus, which in turn, should lead to better training and subsequent performance. Finally, it might be expected that higher-ranked institutions might provide a more stimulating academic environment. 69 Having notable, hardworking, celebrity-status professors, along with being around intelligent, highly-motivated, achievement-oriented peers, positively affects self-efficacy, motivation, effort, and work ethic. Despite their slightly better overall performance, hiring graduates from higher-ranked institutions could have a downside. Our data suggest that students from higher-ranked universities might damage team cooperation, sometimes carelessly. 70 In some instances, graduates from top universities tend to be less friendly, are more prone to conflict, and are less likely to identify with their team. A．Indeed, education is not only lectures and seminars. B．However, our study revealed no difference in the following aspects. C．They clearly know that interpersonal relationships at work play a critical role in career success. D．They tend to excessively focus on the instrumental tasks, paying insufficient attention to interpersonal relationships. E．We also found several reasons why the graduates from the top universities performed better than those from the lower-ranked schools. F．We observed the students’ performance for two months as they were working in global virtual teams on real-life business consulting projects. IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Why can’t adults talk normally to babies? In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk. What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies? Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child? Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that? It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours. To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
