Week 8MondayTask 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。(2016浙江，C)A scientist working at her lab bench and a sixmonthold baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all，the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world，and the baby is，well，just playing.right？Perhaps，but some developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this“play”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table.Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge，it falls to the groundand，in the process，it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact(相互作用)：bowls of rice do not float in midair，but require support to remain stable.It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe；nor are they ever clearly taught it.Instead，babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ，the babys investigation and the scientists experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world )，overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world)，and logic (are my observations what I expected？)Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this waythat they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means.For example，it may only be through repeated experiments，evidence gathering，and finally overturning a theory，that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has，for example，unlike the child，Mommy actually doesnt like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effortthe desire to explore，explain，and understand our worldis simply something that comes from our babyhood.Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds，and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children.The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists.As some psychologists put it，“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的玩耍和科学家的研究有共同之处。1According to some developmental psychologists，_Aa babys play is nothing more than a gameBscientific research into babies games is possibleCthe nature of babies play has been thoroughly investigatedDa babys play is somehow similar to a scientists experiment答案D推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句.but some developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.可知心理学家觉得孩子的玩耍和科学家的研究有共同之处，故选D。2We learn from Paragraph 2 that _Ascientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyBscientists and babies often interact with each otherCbabies are born with the knowledge of object supportDbabies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do答案D推理判断题。根据文章第二段的句子overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world)可知孩子也会像科学家一样收集证据，故选D。3Children may learn the rules of language by _Aexploring the physical worldBinvestigating human psychologyCrepeating their own experimentsDobserving their parents behaviors答案C细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering and finally overturning a theory可知孩子可以通过重复自己的实验来学习语言的规律，故选C。4What is the main idea of the last paragraph?AThe world may be more clearly explained through childrens play.BStudying babies play may lead to a better understanding of science.CChildren may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.DOnes drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.答案B段落大意题。根据最后一段的Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.可知，研究孩子可以让人们更好地了解科学，故选B。5What is the authors tone when he discusses the connection between scientists research and babies play?AConvincing. BConfused. CConfident. DCautious.答案D观点态度题。纵观全文，尤其第一段最后一句，玩耍比我们想象的更像科学研究，第四段的have suggested，perhaps，may have been adopted可知，作者步步为营，小心求证儿童的玩耍和科学家实验的相似之处，论述的语气比较谨慎。Task 2：词汇积累1have little in common 几乎没共同之处2be engaged in 从事于，忙于3bring out生产，使显出(特性)4build on依赖，建立于5investigation n调查6throw light on 阐明；使显得清楚7curiosity n好奇8figure out 算出；想出Task 3：攻克长难句1For example，it may only be through repeated experiments，evidence gathering，and finally overturning a theory，that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has，for example，unlike the child，Mommy actually doesnt like Dove chocolate.分析：这是一个强调句型，强调介词短语through repeated experiments
