Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons一in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needsenable children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement-born in the United States-which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” "more" "all gone" "fbod and “tired” . It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child's intelligence.But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, "Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think 'if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother'."Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, "So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it."Which of the following may help improve children's language skills?A. Using simple words and phrases.B. Talking to them as much as possible.C. Buying them more books and DVDs.D. Creating a serious home environment.12. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that.A. they are influenced by othersthey are sure of the effects of themB. they don't want to be looked down uponthey don't know how to teach their children13. The underlined word "sustained，z in the last paragraph means .A. obtainedB. soughtC. approved ofD. figured out14. What's the main idea of the text?A. How to teach children to communicate effectively.B. Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.D. Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.【答案】12.B13.A14. C 15. D【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇新闻报道主要介绍了一项最新研究结果一一为提高语言能力而开设 的婴儿手语课程实际上对儿童的语言技能开展几乎没有什么作用。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective"（一个父母经常和孩子交谈的，气氛活泼的家庭环境 会更有效。）可知，尽可能多地和孩子交谈可能更有助于提高儿童的语言技能。应选B项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段 “Some even think 'if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother有些人甚至认为“如果我不这样做，而其他人都这么做，我一定是个坏妈 妈。）可知，一些新手妈妈选择婴儿手语课是受他人影响，盲目跟风下的行为。应选A项。 【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段“the findings”指的是第四段的“research from HertfordshireUniversity has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development" Hertfordshire大学的研究没有发现使用婴儿手语有助于改善他们的语言开展 的证据，但宝宝手语专家 Wendy Moat 所说的"the classes encouraged speech development，z这些课程鼓励了语言的开展）可知，宝宝手语专家所说和研究发现形成对立的观点。因此 综合 ubaby signing experts barely sustained the findings. （婴儿手语专家几乎不这一发现）句意可知，“sustained”意为"支持、赞成”。选项A. obtained获得；B. sought寻求； C. approved of赞成;D.figured out弄明白,解决。应选C项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，根据文章第一段“'Baby signing，classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research（最新研究显示，为提高语言能力而开设的婴儿手语课程实际上对儿童的开 展几乎没有什么作用）以及下文的各项研究结果都在围绕这一观点展开可知，本文主旨即婴 儿手语课不能提高儿童的语言技能。应选D项。第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. 16Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action.17 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.18 What's the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive （蓬勃开展）or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. Thafs a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 19 Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.Now there are some people who don't accept the "Life is hard“ story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose.They work to thrive. 20 They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.A. So let me ask you a few questions.B. This state does not allow you to be creative.C. It lies in what motivates people to take action.D. Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.E. And they don't think about why something cannot be done.F. And this makes you take even more or better quality action.G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.【答案】16.C17. G 18. A 19. B 20.
