12．Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl（爬行），while boys will head for cars，a study has shown．The findings，the first to show differences in very young babies，suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences．
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months．The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys．Some were typically boys'toys----a car，a digger，a ball and a blue teddy．The rest were girls'toys：a pink teddy，a doll and a cooking set．They were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked； their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded．
Of the youngest children （9 to 14 months），girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys，and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did．Among the two and three-year-olds，girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it．The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars，which the girls barely touched．There was no link between the parents'view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls，and the children's choice．
Dr Brenda Todd said，"Children of this age are already exposed（顯示出） to much socialization．Boys may be given‘toys that go'while girls get toys they can care for，which may help shape their preference．But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys．There could be a biological basis for their choices．Males through evolution（進(jìn)化，發(fā)展） have been adapted to prefer moving objects，probably through hunting instincts（本能），while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink，the color of a newborn                             
60．Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably becauseD．
A．baby boys are much more active    
B．baby girls like bright colors more 
C．their parents treat them differently   
D．there is a natural difference between them．
61．What can we infer from Paragrah3？C
A．Nine-month-old baby boys don't play with dolls at all．
B．Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls
C．The older the babies are，the more obvious their preference is
D．Parents should teach their babies to share each other's toys
62．What conclusion did Dr．Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study？B
A．A dults purposely influence their babies preference．
B．Babies'preference isn't affected by social surroundings
C．Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting
D．Baby girls preferning warmer colors will be warm-hearted
63．We may read this article in aAsection of a newspaper
A．science    B．health     C．education     D．entertainment．

分析 文章是關(guān)于兒童對(duì)于玩具的傾向性，說明孩子的喜好是不受環(huán)境的影響的，是生來具有的

解答 60．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences．和最后一段But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys．可知D正確．
61．C 推理題．根據(jù)第三段Of the youngest children （9 to 14 months），girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys，and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did．Among the two and three-year-olds，girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it．The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars，which the girls barely touched．可知年齡越大，傾向性越明顯．故C正確．
62．B 推理題．孩子很小的時(shí)候就已經(jīng)顯示出傾向性了，說明他們的喜好不受社會(huì)環(huán)境的影響，故B正確．
63．A 推理題．文章是關(guān)于兒童對(duì)于玩具的傾向性，說明孩子的喜好是不受環(huán)境的影響的，是生來具有的，可以判斷這是一份科學(xué)研究的報(bào)告，故A符合．

2．Some children are natural-born bosses．They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow．Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，"operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，"says his mother．"The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers（劍）．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones．"
"Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation．It's an inheritable trait，"says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina．Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位） when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other．
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family．Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor．Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，"have secret feelings of weakness"and"a desire to feel safe．"It's the parents'role to provide that protection．
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family．The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends．It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．
"I see more and more parents giving up their power，"says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years．"They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were．But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills．Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious．"
66．Bossy children like Stephen JacksonB
A．make good decisions                   B．show self-centeredness
C．lack care from others                 D．have little sense of fear
67．The underlined phrase"inheritable trait"in Paragraph 2 meansA
A．inborn nature                         B．developed character
C．a(chǎn)ccepted theory                       D．particular environment
68．The study on bossy behavior implies that parentsB．
A．should give more power to their children
B．should be strict with their children
C．should not be so anxious about their children
D．should not set limits for their children
69．Bossy children may probably becomeD．
A．relaxed           B．skillful         C．hesitant         D．lonely
70．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．How bossy behavior can be controlled．
B．How we can get along with bossy children．
C．What leads to children's bossy behavior．
D．What effect bossy behavior brings about．

3．In an age dominated （控制的） by new med ia and the Internet，there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when，if we couldn't make it into a classroom，the only real option was to pick up a book，or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（時(shí)有時(shí)無的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web，we have a whole new learning domain （統(tǒng)領(lǐng)） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button，and tests and assignments can be submitted （進(jìn)行） and marked online．Questions and learning，studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning，an approach to education which seeks to combi ne the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching，will achieve better results．For example，there are some aspects of study，like practical sessions，dealing with more subjective questions，or meeting the needs of an individual student，which require face-to-face human interaction，whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning，such as answers to clear-cut questions，can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example，in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment，a simple scenario （劇情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session，the teacher express his opinion about their work．
1．What is the main idea of this passage？A
A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．
B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials，
C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．
D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．
2．Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students？D
A．Practical sessions．
B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．
C．Dealing with more subjective questions．
D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．
3．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality
B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays
C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past
D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days
4．Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learning？D
A．Critical．          
B．Objective （客觀的）．
C．Supportive．            
D．Neutral （中立的）．

17．When I was a little girl，my mom would say，"Half the fun of doing anyth1ng is sharing it with others"．（71）BFriends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys，comfort us in our hard moments，and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves．I've always looked at friends as the family we choose．They enrich our lives．As Robert Louis Steven once said，"（72）E"
To be a good friend or partner，it's important to be a good lis1ener．Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive．（73）DWhen they hear their words repeated back to them，it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly，what they meant to say．

4．Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（懷舊的）．I have four brothers and sisters，and my memories are all about being with them，playing board games on the living room floor，or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children，racing up and down on our bikes，or exploring the nearby woods．My parents scarcely appear in these memories，except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days，in the UK at least，the nature of childhood has changed dramatically．Firstly，families are smaller，and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family，or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result，today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home，inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally，the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive"．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？I personally believe that they do，but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．
25．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph？C
A．To show who the passage is written for．
B．To gather people's opinions on childhood．
C．To get people's attention and lead in the topic．
D．To compare the childhood lives of two generations．
26．Which is NOT a reason for the changes？B
A．Families are smaller today．
B．It's too dangerous to play outside．
C．Toys can be played by children alone at home．
D．Parents worried too much about their children．
27．What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph？C
A．Young people today shouldn't play electronic games．
B．Computer and video games have replaced the board games．
C．Some games that young people play today aren't really good．
D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games．
28．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB．
A．a(chǎn)pprovingB．objectiveC．unconcernedD．optimistic．
