They often behave in limited and repeated ways and have unusual strong interests.Autism is more common in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes(基因) and possible environmental influences.Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis（诊断）of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a professor and researcher in Maryland. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that studied 235 babies between six and 36 months of age.“At six months of age, some signs of the development of communication and social is slow, like when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position, it seems hard for the baby to raise his/her head . That does not mean the baby is going to have autism, but it does mean the baby needs to have some exercises. And when they strengthen their body, they are able to play with toys and people and grow better.”By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam.Professor Landa says, its important for parents to care about their childrens development. The earlier parents notice signs, the sooner they can begin doing simple things that may help improve their childs development, such as talking to the child about what they are doing, and playing simple games that keep the childs attention.42.

But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.Water buffaloes are so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animals calm nature, water buffaloes almost never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young. It will prevent them from hurting one another when they grow up. Another common wrong ideais that water buffaloes can be raised only near water. Though they love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babiesin situations where there is not enough water to do this. However, several researchers report that water buffaloes who roll in muddy water do not need to be treated with insecticides(杀虫剂) because the mud (烂泥) coating that forms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫). Another untrue belief about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas. Actually, buffaloes are able to live in a wide range of climates. Although they are most common in the tropics, water buffaloes were used to pull snowplows(雪犁) in parts of Europe many years ago. 34. Why are water buffaloes horns not taken off ?A.

Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesnt seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twains famous face on it wouldnt have made people forget about him. The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works. Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Hucks freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isnt really looking for freedom, but survival. Its even more of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Hucks life seem even better. Its easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产). Huck and Jims friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach todays readers.38. Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twains greatest works? A. It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner. B. It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.C. It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.D. It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience. 39. According to the passage, which statement is Wrong? A. Huck gets away from his father for survival. B. Jimescapesfrom his slave owner for freedom. C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.D. Without the special coins, hell probably be forgotten. 40. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _. A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time. 41. Whats the main purpose of the article?A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.B. To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.D. To draw readers attention to the many race issues in the US today.参考答案38-41 DDAC （来自2016中考模拟训练）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Its a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door thats been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match” Theres no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.Theres a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes halfclosed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想)，”Brunt said. Theyre probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?42. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong?A. Cats can copy humans behaviours.B. Cats are smart and have a long memory.C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.D. Humans can learn from cats in some way. 43. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Humans keeping searching the fridge.B. Humans drinking green tea and going to yoga C. Cats copying humans habit of looking for food. D. Cats going to their owners for food. 44. What can we learn from our cats?A. To remain peaceful. B. To be able to copy.C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends. 45. The best title for the passage could be “_” A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your catC. You can make your cat social D. Your cat is copying your habit参考答案42-45 CCAD（来自2016中考模拟训练）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Many teenagers are fond of science fictions.
