But how did this slightly unusual, if precious, concept of putting babies on show come into being?Well, theyre not really for putting babies on show. Firstly, they were created as an area for nurses to take care of all of the new babies, separate from their mothers. Newborn nurseries have been around pretty much since moms started having babies in hospitals. In the early 1900s, hospitals replaced homes as the primary place to give birth. Hospitals built maternity wards (产科病房), and those wards had nurseries with windows.According to Smithsonian. com, a 1943 publication gave two main purposes for the nurseries. The first purpose was to allow the relatives to see the new babies. The windows, however, were to keep the babies safe and clean while they were being admired by relatives. And that sanitary concern is right and reasonable. Babies immune systems (免疫系统) are not yet developed, which has to do with the frightening reason you should be careful about letting people kiss your new baby. However, the Smithsonian. com article does admit that solid walls would be even more effective at keeping bacteria and viruses out than windows. Not to mention they would be more costeffective. So, yeah . the primary purpose is still to look at the cute babies. Some hospitals would offer individual viewings so that relatives could have some quality time with their new member. In the mid to late twentieth century, these nursery viewings were often the first time fathers got to see their new babies.Today, though, the nurseries mean a lot to many hospital visitors and family members. Dotti James claims that “the nursery window has become a destination for patients and families from other parts of the hospital experiencing a health crisis . Standing outside the nursery, seeing the babies . can give hope to families trying to deal successfully with something difficult.” Its pretty much a universal truth that healthy babies are an immediate mood booster (令人鼓舞的事情)语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了医院设立育婴室的原因，育婴室的发展及作用等。4Whats the function of Paragraph 1?ATo attract readers interest.BTo summarize the whole passage.CTo provide background information.DTo introduce the theme of the passage.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容，尤其是“But how did this slightly unusual, if precious, concept of putting babies on show come into being”及下文内容可知，文章第一段主要是用来引出文章主题的。故选D。5What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?AKissing new babies may cause them harm.BSafety is the main focus of newborn nurseries.CNurseries with windows are more costeffective.DFathers were the last to see new babies decades ago.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段中的第五句可知，新生儿的免疫系统还没有发育成熟，因此在让别人亲吻新生婴儿时要特别小心。由此可推知，亲吻新生婴儿有可能会对他们造成伤害。故选A。6Whats Dotti Jamess attitude towards newborn nurseries?APositive. BDoubtful.CConcerned. DDisapproving.解析：选A观点态度题。根据最后一段中Dotti James所说的话可知，Dotti James认为，站在育婴室的窗外看着新生婴儿能够给努力应对困境的人们以希望，因此Dotti James对于为新生儿设立育婴室是持积极态度的。故选A。7Whats the purpose of the passage?ATo show the benefits of newborn nurseries.BTo stress the importance of newborn nurseries.CTo explain why hospitals set up newborn nurseries.DTo state some misunderstandings of newborn nurseries.解析：选C写作意图题。纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了医院设立育婴室背后的故事，故C项最能概括作者写作本文的意图。C(2019安徽师大附中模拟)“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My fiveyearold daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someones control over their movement) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”， I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs) arent always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26yearold teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a highfive (a gesture of greeting or congratulation). I couldnt help but be reminded of Syonas teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and selfworth increase rapidly, ” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.Syonas teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesnt focus on what cant be doneshe focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syonas confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldnt have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. Weve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmers reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives. 语篇解读：作者介绍了自己有病的女儿在她的老师的教育下越来越好，再联想到自己，产生了一些人生感悟。8What does the author think of Einsteins quote?AFunny.

Thats one of the key findings of an ongoing research project by Canadian and Chinese researchers. The research suggests that while we are still in the womb (子宫), our brains are learning speech patterns and laying the groundwork for language acquisition. “Before birth, the brain is being set up to learn language，” says Barbara Kisilevsky, who conducted the research.It had already been known that newborn babies show a preference for their mothers voice, but her latest research shows they also prefer that familiar sound while still in the womb. Kisilevsky carried out the first leg of the research in China, because she already had a research project under way there and this fit nicely with that work.Working with researchers at Zhejiang University, Kisilevsky tested 60 women in the final stage of pregnancy. All the mothers were taperecorded as they read a poem out loud. Then the mothers were divided into two groups. Half the fetuses (胎儿) heard the recording of their own mother. The other half heard that of another mother, but not their own.In both cases, the poem caused a change in the babys heart rate. The heart rate accelerated among those who heard their own mothers voice, and decelerated among those who heard a voice other than that of their mothers.Deceleration of the heart rate is “an attention mechanism (机制)”， Kisilevsky says. The heartbeat among fetuses who heard an unfamiliar voice slowed down, she says, because they were paying close attention to a voice they did not recognize. The fact that the heartbeat changed in both cases up for Mom, down for someone else shows the fetuses “noticed both voices”， she says, and could tell one from the other.By the way, the poem is immaterial here. Kisilevsky suspects she would have had the same results if the mothers had been reading a phone book. “Its not the content that the fetuses recognized，” she says. “We all have our own way of talking. We stop at different times, take breaths at different times, and thats what they are recognizing.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项有关胎儿对声音的识别的研究。12What did Kisilevskys research find?ABabies are good language learners.BBabies language acquisition begins after birth.CBabies can recognize Moms voice while in the womb.DInfants are more sensitive to Moms voice than fetuses.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Even before we were born, we knew our mothers voice and could distinguish it from other voices”并结合下文内容可知，我们在出生之前就已经熟悉母亲的声音，并能将其与其他声音区分开来。由此可知，婴儿在母亲的子宫中就能识别母亲的声音。故选C。13What led to the change in fetuses heart rate according to the research?ATheir familiarity with the voice.BThe quality of the recordings.CTheir curiosity about everything.DThe content of the poem recorded.解析：选A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的第二句可知，在研究中，胎儿对声音的熟悉度的不同导致了他们心率的变化。故选A。14What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AAdults talk in a way quite different from babies.BKisilevsky firmly believes her findings are applicable.CSpeech patterns are what fetuses recognize in telling voices.DDifferent experimental materials can lead to different results.解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是最后一句可知，胎儿在辨别声音时识别的是人们的说话方式，即他们的语言模式。故选C。15In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?AMedicine. BLifestyle.CEducation. DScience.解析：选D文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项有关胎儿对声音的识别的研究，它最可能出现在报纸的科学专栏上。故选D。.阅读七选五(2019惠州调研)By 2025, water shortage will be a big problem for about 1.8 billion people. In a world where water resource is increasingly short, nations cannot afford to waste it._16_ After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it.Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients._17_ A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants.They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy, and produce “new water” that can be reused.But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems, polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it._18_ This is still better than the situation in smaller cities.In Latin American countries, those living in small and mediumsized cities at most treat it in the form of septic tanks (化粪池) that lack regular and proper maintenance.Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land: on the surface it is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy.The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild.This is not a dream project._19_ A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments.Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries, they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated with waste water._20_ABut that is exactly what we do.BThis can provide easy access to clean water.CThere is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.DA constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale.EThis would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.FIf collected and treated properly, it could provide “new water”， fertilizer, and energy.GAlthough waste water systems in large cities are effective, the whole procedure usually costs much.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了当前世界水资源的现状以及有效利用水资源的方法。16解析：选A上文说在水资源短缺的大环境下，很多国家不能承担浪费(的后果)，下文说我们用完水后，就直接把水冲走。根据上下文可知，A项“但是那正是我们所做的”与此处匹配，起承上启下作用，故选A。17解析：选F上文说废水富含碳元素和养分，而F项说如果收集和处理得当，它就能提供“新的水”、肥料和能量，前后形成语义上的衔接，故选F。18解析：选G下文讲述的是拉丁美洲的中小城市的废水处理系统缺乏常规和合适的维护，而G项提到大城市的废水处理系统有效但成本高，与本段内容吻合，故选G。19解析：选D上文提到在这些小城市建造湿地环境的设想，下文提到已经有科学家在研究建造的湿地环境的潜力了，由此可知，D项“建造的湿地环境已经在小范围的实践中了”符合语境。20解析：选E上文讲述的是这种解决方案的另一种好处是人们可以用废水灌溉农田，而E项说这可以减少用淡水灌溉的需求及抽水所需的能量，前后语义衔接，故选E。练(二)语言知识运用组块专练练准度(限时：30分钟).完形填空(2019押题卷四)Earlier this year, I created the Gustine Traveling Library.
