　　Blondin was a very famous acrobat in the 19th century. He used to walk on a tight--rope across the Niagara Falls. On September 8th, 1860, a crowd of about 300,000 people gathered at Niagara to watch Blondin carry a man across! Three men had offered to go with him, but they falled to appear, so Blondin asked his manager, Mr. Colcord, to climb on his back, Colcord agreed to go this so as not to disappoint the crowd, but he was terrified. The crossing was very difficult because Colcord was heavier than Blondin thought. After he had gone a short way, Blondin had to stop in order to rest. He asked Colcord to get down.

　　One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond. For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木) under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without ever, slowing down. I stopped.

　　“What’s up?” he cried out from the other side.

　　“I’m not riding over that thing. If I slip, I’ll be in there with that cow,” “There’s nothing to it. I just did it. didn’t I?”

　　“You’re stronger and taller. My feet don’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”

　　Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse(女襯衫) to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went.

　　Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.

　　All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.

　　Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.

　　Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.

　　Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy-bear.” And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.

　　But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling (咿呀學(xué)語), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.

　　1. The purpose of Frederick II’s experiment was ________.

　　[A] to prove that children are born with the ability to speak

　　[B] to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speech

　　[C] to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speak

　　[D] to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language

　　2. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that ________.

　　[A] they are incapable of learning language rapidly

　　[B] they are exposed to too much language at once

　　[C] their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak

　　[D] their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them

　　3. What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that ________.

　　[A] he is born with the capacity to speak

　　[B] he has a brain more complex than an animal’s

　　[C] he can produce his own sentences

　　[D] he owes his speech ability to good nursing

　　4. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?

　　[A] The faculty of speech is inborn in man.

　　[B] Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning.

　　[C] The child’s brain is highly selective.

　　[D] Most children learn their language in definite stages.

　　5. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will ________.

　　[A] have a high IQ

　　[B] be less intelligent

　　[C] be insensitive to verbal signals

　　[D] not necessarily be backward

　　Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM,轉(zhuǎn)基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solutiorr?

　　Despite what it promiises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact

　　Studies show that the most crown GM croo.

　　GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

　　Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(殺蟲劑). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.

　　At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.

　　As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.

　　57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly . 【C】

　　A. by classification B. by comparison

　　C. by example D. by process

　　58. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean? 【D】

　　A. Control. B. Evaluate C. Obtain. D. Increase.

　　59. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from _________. 【B】

　　A. practicing “green” farming B. use of less chemicals

　　C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel

　　60. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?【C】

　　A. Optimistic B. Defensive C. Disapproving D. Casual

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction.

　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

　　Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store bywhat the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

　　17. The passage mainly talks about ________.

　　A. differences between men and women shoppers

　　B. A man goes shopping because he needs something

　　C. How women go about buying clothes.

　　D. Women are better at shopping than men

　　18. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ________.

　　A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear

　　B. he buys whatever he likes without considering its value

　　C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

　　D. he often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.

　　19. What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

　　A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.

　　B. He usually does not buy anything.

　　C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.

　　D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

　　20. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

　　A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.

　　B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.

　　C. The time they take over buying clothes.

　　D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never.

　　A little under one-third of U.S. families have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, with most of the holdouts seeing little use for it in their lives, according to a survey released on Friday.

　　Park Associates, a Dallas-based technology market research firm, said 29 percent of U.S. families, or 31 million homes, do not have Internet access and do not intend to subscribe(預(yù)訂)to an Internet service over the next 12 months. The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.

　　Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.

　　The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribers converted(轉(zhuǎn)變)from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.

　　“The industry continues to chip(擊破)away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.

　　1. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?

　　A. some American families

　　B. those who hold out one’s opinions

　　C. those who have been surveyed

　　D. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently

　　2. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.

　　A. they show too much concern about the cost B. they can find little value of it

　　C. they do most YouTube-watching at work D. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes

　　3. From the passage we can infer that ________.

　　A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet users

　　B. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no more

　　C. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at home
