of the growth of the brain during childhoodtherefore there are critical _10_ times for language development current _11_ of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable_12_, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in _13_ gradesyoung children often can learn several languages by being _14_ to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the _15_ of their first language have become firmly fixed _16_ some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum children who have been _17_from other human beings do not possess language this demonstrates that _18_ with other human beings is necessary for proper language developmentsome linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language _19_ than any innate capacitiesthese theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior_20_ , children learn

below each text by choosing a,b,c or d a most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty secondswhen this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memoryhow did the information get there in the first place? information that makes its way to the short term memory （stm） does so via the sensory storage area the brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the stm, also known as the working memory there is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memorythe most accepted theory comes from george amiller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of informationa chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information togetherby organizing information, one can optimize the stm, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage when making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in “rote rehearsal”by repeating something over and over again, we are able to keep a memory aliveunfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptionsas soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappearwhen a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud if the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to 海风自主招生指南系列丛书华师大财大上外分册 海风官网 111 make your phone call, you will forget the number instantlytherefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memorya better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal”this involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievableretrieving information can be done by recognition or recallhumans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used oftenhowever, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by promptingthe more cues a person is given （such as pictures）, the more likely a memory can be retrievedthis is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization 1according to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the stm? a） they revert from the long term memory b） they are filtered from the sensory storage are a c） they get chunked when they enter the brain d） they enter via the nervous system 2how do theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time? a） by organizing it b） by repeating it c） by giving it a name d） by writing it down on paper 3why does the author mention a dogs bark? a） to exemplify poor memory b） to analyze a type of interruption c） to compare human memory with dogs memory d） to illustrate the lack of efficiency of rote rehearsal 4which of the following is true about retrieving information? a） elaborate rehearsal contributes to information retrieval b） the most efficient way of retrieving information is to assign semantic meaning to the information c） its impossible to retrieve forgotten information without picture prompts d） encoding information is more efficient than chunking it 5which of the following is true according to the passage? a） ones memory capacity can be enhanced by rote rehearsal b） putting information to writing is suggested to improve memory c） providing sufficient prompts helps information retrieval d） multiple choice exams are the most difficult b before, whenever we had wealth, we started discussing povertywhy not now? why is the current politics of 海风自主招生指南系列丛书华师大财大上外分册 海风官网 112 wealth and poverty seemingly about wealth alone? eight years ago, when bill clinton first ran for president, the dow jones average was under 3,500, yearly federal budget deficits were projected at hundreds of billions of dollars forever and beyond, and no one talked about the “permanent boom” or the “new economy ” yet in that more straitened time, clinton made much of the importance of “not leaving a single person behind” it is possible that similar “compassionate” rhetoric might yet play a role in the general election but it is striking how much less talk there is about the poor than there was eight years ago, when the country was economically uncertain, or in previous eras, when the country felt flusheven last summer, when clinton spent several days on a remarkable tour through impoverished areas from indian reservations in south dakota to ghetto neighborhoods in east stlouis, the administration decided to refer to the effort not as a poverty tour but as a “new markets initiative” what is happening is partly a logical, policy-driven reactionpoverty really is lower than it has been in decades, especially for minority groupsthe most attractive solution to ita growing economyis being appliedthe people who have been totally left out of this boom often have medical, mental or other problems for which no one has an immediate solution “the economy has sucked in anyone who has any preparation, any ability to cope with modern life,” says franklin draines, the former director of the office of management and budget who is now head of fannie maewhen he and other people who specialize in the issue talk about solutions, they talk analytically and longterm: education, development of work skills, shifts in the labor market, adjustments in welfare reform but i think there is another force that has made this a rich era with barely visible poor peopleit is the unusual social and imaginative separation between prosperous america and those still left out its simple invisibility, because of increasing geographic, occupational, and social barriers that block one group from the others view 1in the 1st paragraph, the word “straitened” means _ a） difficult b） wealthy c） distant d） straightforward 2the author states that one important reason that we do not talk much about poverty is that _ a） no one knows what to do about it b） poverty really is lower than in the past c） no one has been left out of the current boom d） the president is not concerned about the poor 3after reading this passage, we can conclude that _ a） the relationship between the rich and the poor has changed b） the good economy will soon end c） poverty will be obliterated as a result of increased wealth d） all people benefit from good economic conditions 4what is the authors purpose in writing this passage? 海风自主招生指南系列丛书华师大财大上外分册 海风官网 113 a） to entertain b） to tell a story c） to describe d） to persuade 5the main idea of the passage is that _ a） the country is enjoying economic growth b） the poor are benefiting from todays good economy c） in the past we were more aware of the poor than we are today d） in the
