The researchers produced images o£ the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example5one order was mubaba. This is the pattern “A -B B” . Another order was mubage. This is the pattern "A-B-C” . The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B“ pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive （敏感）to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is exci ted by these findings because the order of sounds is the base of words and grammar, “Position is key to language,“ she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference： * John caught the bear* is very different from ' The bear caught John.Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter howeducationaldoesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development. Theycarried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who'd watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to- face with the same sounds. Instead they found a hugedifference. The babies in the second group were able to dist inguish （辨另ij） between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies-rcgardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio-learned nothing.12. Why are early experiences so important to chiIdren according to the study?A. They can show connections in their brains.B. They can increase new information of IQs.C. They can offer children more attention,They can help to develop their brains.13. How was the research carried out?A. By recognizing babies' different appearances.B. By producing images of new words for babies,By testing how babies* brains learn to speak language.C. By checking babies' brains to identify different sound patterns.14. Why is Gervain excited about the findings?A. Grammar is important in learning languages,Different orders of sounds have different meanings.B. The order of words comes from its grammar meaning.C. Different languages have different grammar rules.15. What is Patricia Kuhl most likely to agree?A. Learning Chinese is of great benefit to babies' brains.B. Bcibies are better than adults in learning a foreign language.C. Face-to-face communication can improve babies, brains.D. Babies learn a lot from television, audio books or the Internet.12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C【分析】这是一篇说明文。通过研究表明，孩子们早期经历很重要。这些经历会影响大脑的 发育。当孩子得到更多的关注时，他们的智商通常会更高。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第段第二句 "These experiences affect the development of the brain. "（这些经历会影响大脑的发育。）可知，早期经历对孩子如此重要是因为它们可以 帮助发育孩子的大脑。故选及【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 wResearcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at telling different sound patterns. n （研究人员朱迪特格尔万测试了新生儿辨别不 同声音模式的能力。）可知，这个研究是通过检查婴儿的大脑如何识别不同的声音模式来实 施的。故选Do【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 "Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the base of words and grammar, “Position is key to language, “ she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference： 'John caughtthe bear* is very different from * The bear caught John. v （Gervain对这些发现感到兴奋，因为声音的顺序是单词和语法的基础，“位置是语言的关键，”她说。“如果某件事是在开头还是在结尾，这有很大的不同：'John caught the bear'和'the bear caught John'是非常不同的。）可知，Gervain对这些发现感到兴奋的原因是不同顺 序的声音有不同的含义。故选B。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段 “They expected the first group who* d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to- face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the secondgroup were able to distinguish （辨别）between similarChinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies-regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio-learned nothing. （他 们希望，第一组看了中文视频的人和第二组面对面用同样的声音学习的人表现出同样的学习 效果。相反，他们发现了巨大的差异。第二组的婴儿能够区分相似的汉语声音，也能区分母 语的人。但是其他的宝宝一一不管它们是看电视还是听音频，都没有学到东西）可知，接受 面对面交流的宝宝大脑发育更好。所以PatriciaKuhl最可能认同面对面的交流可以改善婴儿的大脑。故选C。第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。Choosing a major is a very important thing in our life.
