7.In 1958,Jean Berko Gleason,an American psycholinguist,created an experiment called the Wug Test.It investigated how children learn to make plural forms of nouns in English like cats,dogs,and horses.The children were shown imaginary words in the singular and asked to change the word into their plural forms.There are three ways of pronouncing the"s"that comes after plural nouns in English; it can be pronounced like/z/,/s/,or/iz/.The most common sound is the/z/sound like in dogs,then the/s/sound like in cats,then the/iz/sound like horses.
In the experiment,the child was presented with a picture of some kind of pretendcreature.He or she was told that the creature was a"wug".The experimenter said,"This is a wug."Another card was pulled out with another wug,and the experimenter said,"Now there are two of them.These are two…?"Children who understood the proper use of plural form for nouns ending with a"g"would say,"They are two wugs,"with a/z/sound.Very young children were often confused by this and said"Two wug."Generally,children who were 4 years or older got the question right.The researchers also carried out several other experiments to create plural forms ending with the/s/sound and with the/iz/sound and found that children usually learned these rules later in their lives because they are not as common as the/z/sound plurals.
The Wug Test also included questions that explored a child's understanding of the proper use of verbs and the suing of the possessive,such as"This is Rob's bike."Possessives are parts of grammar that show ownership.Also,the children were prompted to use the"-er"suffix (后綴)of a noun to demonstrate a person's job,such as someone who drives is a"driver".Again,the children were given a nonsense word,this time"zib".The researcher asked the child,"A man who‘zibs'is a…?"Some young children replied"zibber",but many young children replied"zibman".
The Wug Test demonstrated that even very young children have established grammatical systems that allow them to make plurals,possessive,and other forms of words that they have never heard before.This test was the first of its kind to prove that children learn their language akills naturally without needing to be taught grammar rules.
32.The author introduces Jean Berko Gleason as a psycholinguist in order toBA.explain why she used imaginary words for the experiment
B.show that she was interested in how the mind learns language
C.suggest that she studied the language of the mentally ill
D.state that she illustrated the pictures used in the experiment
33.The underlined word"pretend"is closest in meaning toA
A.a(chǎn)rtificial         B.domestic            C.incorrect          D.living
34.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE about the Wug Test?C
A.It was an experiment to show that children must be taught the rules of language
B.It investigated whether children could use English verbs to show ownership
C.It examined how children learned complex language rules ( like forming plurals )
D.It proved that children acquire/z/-sound possessives before/s/-sound ones
35.The passage probably comes fromD.
A.a(chǎn) book review                           
B.a(chǎn)n official documentary
C.a(chǎn) biography of Jean Berko Gleason

12.As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the 6,000~7,000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations-UNESCO and National Geographic among them-have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Centre,Yale University,who specializes in the languages and  oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that_tradition.His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experience living,working,and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes-which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now,through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet,Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
64.What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3refer to?A
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
 D.Living with the native speakers.
65.What is Turin's book based on?D
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
66.Which of the following best describes Turin's work?C
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repair and reward.
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.

2.What makes a person a scientist?Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is"no".It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to investigate,how to discover information,is important to everyone.The scientist,however,goes one step further;he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact.There's no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different,any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions.
This is one reason why investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein,who developed the Theory of Relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation.Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
13.What makes a scientist according to the passage?C
A.The tools he uses.            
B.His ways of learning.
C.The way he uses his tools.     
D.The various tools he uses.
14."…knowing how to investigate,how to discover information,is important to everyone."The writer says this to showC.
A.the importance of information
B.the difference between scientists and ordinary people
C.the importance of thinking
D.the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
15.What is the main idea of the passage?D
A.Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B.The Theory of Relativity.
C.Exactness is the core of science.
D.Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.

20.Seeing in Stereo
Have you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face?The reasons are simple and important to the way you see the rest of your world.
Your eyes are like two small cameras.A camera catches an image(影像)of an object and records it on film.Similarly,when you look at something,each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball.Because your eyes are set close together,they view the world from about the same height but from slightly different angles.Working as a team,the eyes send the images to your brain,which puts them together into a single,centered image.
Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together,which is called stereoscopic sight.This allows you to view the world in three dimensions,or 3-D.Seeing depth helps you to judge the distance between you and the objeets you see and to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it.If images are coming from only one eye,however,only two of these dimensions-height and width-can be perceived.A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional,as in a photograph.
Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face.Think of other animals with this same arrangement.They are all animals that hunt,like lions and wolves.Their eyes face directly in front of them.This provides a field of sight about 180degrees wide,which is called binocular sight.On the other hand,animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head,which  Drovides nearly 360-degree field of sight.In order to stay alive,they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind.However,without stereoscopic sight,they have difficulty determining how far a danger is.
With sight both stereoscopic and binocular,humans share with animal hunters the ability to  see from side to side and to accurately determine the distance.If you think it would be great to  have another type of sight,perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do,think again!Each tinv insect eye sees only a tiny part.Besides,what if you needed glasses?Be glad for the  eyesight that you have.

67.According to the passage,an eye is like a camera because bothA
A.can record images           B.can imagine objects
C.provide centered images     D.work at the same height
68.Stereoscopic sight is a result of havingC
A.a(chǎn) three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight
B.hundreds of eyes,all seeing parts of an image
C.two eyes close to one another that work together
D.one eye on either side of the head,each seeing a different image
69.The underlined word"perceived''in Paragraph 3meansC
A.set    B.taken    C.seen    D.understood
70.The author implies that"seeing in stereo"B
A.is similar to the way cameras work
B.is an ability humans are fortunate to have
C.would be better for a wider field of sight
D.helps people to havelbetter sight than animals.
