根据以下材料,回答题

Why is the Native Language Learnt So Well

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty and inexact command.

What accounts for this difference?

Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the behavior. of the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, right use of words and right structure. He drinks in all the words

and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.

Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice and snow in Juneorscorching heat in January.

And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again and again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood and fulfilled.

Finally, though a child"s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close and personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.

Compared with adults learning a foreign language, children learn their native language with ease. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题

Why Would They Falsely Confess?

Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To mostpeople, it just doesn"t seem logical. But it is logical, say experts, if you understand what can happen in a police interrogation (审讯) room. Under the right conditions, people"s minds are susceptible (易受影响的) to influence, and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings(盘问) is enormous. __________ (46) "Thepressure is important to understand. Because,otherwise, it"s impossible to understand whysomeone would say he did something he didn"t do.

The answer is: to put an end to anuncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess." Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratorydetermine how likely people are to confess to things they didn"t do. __________ (47) The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hittingthe "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.

Redlich"s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed __________ (48) Of the 15-to-16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12-to-13-year-olds.

"There"s no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, Professor at Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar results. __________ (49) Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation——not hours of aggressive questioning—— and still, most participants falsely confessed. Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can becomeconvinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation. __________ (50)

回答(46)题 查看材料

A.In her experiment, participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing so would crash the systems.

B."In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision."

C."It"s a little like somebody"s working on them with a dental (牙齿的 ) drill," says Franklin Zimring, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.

D."But adults are highly vulnerable too."

E.How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn"t do?

F.Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession.

根据以下材料,回答题A New Citizenship Test(1) Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship

根据以下材料,回答题

A New Citizenship Test

(1) Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship (公民身份) exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are 13 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

(2) "The goal is to make it more meaningful." explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US-CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better "understanding and respect" for US civic(公民的) values, Gonzalez says.

(3) The US isn"t the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a "shared commitment" from immigrants for their adopted country"s "values". In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude (裸体的 ) women bathing at beaches and gay (同性恋的 ) men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that "newcomers will be comfortable with the country"s liberal social mores (风俗) ".

(4) Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes (穆斯林聚居区) in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

(5) Officials believe that a person"s attachment to, a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate (同化) themselves. "Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?" says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (难民辩护联盟) .

Paragraph 2 __________ 查看材料

A.Preparation for taking a citizenship test

B.Citizenship tests in European countries

C.Importance of promoting integration

D.Necessity to know the branches of government

E.Different views on the new citizenship test

F.Goal of the new citizenship test

根据以下材料,回答题The Issue of PackageMaybe everyone has such an experience that you have

根据以下材料,回答题

The Issue of Package

Maybe everyone has such an experience that you have to unwrap several layers of packaging when you enjoy a piece of candy. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.

The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.

Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies, washed out,and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.

The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.

It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.

"This overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. " (Line 2, Paragraph 1) means __________. 查看材料

A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary products

B.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products

C.too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products

D.the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary

根据以下材料,回答题The Biology of MusicHumans use music as a powerful way to communicate.

根据以下材料,回答题

The Biology of Music

Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate. It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all theanswers.

What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing .better than a lot of people).

However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals ,have developed musical instruments.

Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things——especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form. of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?

If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.

Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However,they don"t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russiancomposer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later.

On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.

By studying the physical effects of music on the body, scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That"s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone"s.mate. For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally ,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.

However, Miller"s theory still doesn"t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.

Humans,but not animals, can sing. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题。A Letter from Alan-I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred hous

根据以下材料,回答题。

A Letter from Alan-

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson"s Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parson"s Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax——the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It"s very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neigh bour hood.

I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. There fore these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.

The roads will always be full of traffic, there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this, we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this. plan before it is too late.

Why has Alan written this letter? 查看材料

A.To persuade the government to build new houses.

B.To protest about a new motorway near the town.

C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parson"s Place.

D.,To inform. other people about the builders" plans.
