They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant（怀孕的）woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their childrens activities and did not interfere（干扰）unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.51. What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?A. To prove that babies can learn before they are born.B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies language skills.52. Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?A. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression.C. The children of depressed but caring mothers.D. Children with high communication abilities.53. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT the factor that influences the intelligence development in babies?AThe environment . BMothers sensitivity .CTheir peers . DEducation before birth.BPrimary schools could be told to remove some traditional subject-based lessons and replace them with “personal development” classes to encourage children to improve their social and practical skill. Parents, teachers and pupils, who took part in the investigation carried out for the biggest ever official review of the primary curriculum, argued that the number of subjects taught to very young people should be reduced. The review, being conducted by the governments schools director Sir Jim Rose, will consider how to redesign the primary school day to handle concerns that too many pupils leave primary school unable to read, write and do maths at the level expected of them. It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning. The 60 focus groups brought together 1,500 parents, pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose review, which the government is promising to back. Instead of a broad range of subjects, pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal, learning and thinking skills, they say. Such lessons might include “healthy lifestyles, sex and relationships education, drugs and alcohol education”. “Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics.” John Bangs, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said, “The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system. That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet childrens unique needs.” However, the shadow schools minister, Nick Gibb, said, “If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects, it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.” “Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they dont have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school. Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest.” Nick added. A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) said, “This is a summary of stake holders view, not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF, and has been submitted to Sir Jim Roses review as evidence to consider.”54. According to the focus groups, the result of learning too many subjects is most likely to be that _.A. children may not have any freedomB. children may not have enough time to pursue personal interestC. children may not know anything outside the classroomD. children may not have creative ability55. Which of the following is False about the review conducted by Sir Jim Rose? A. It will greatly influence the countrys future primary curriculum.B. To complete it will take more time and efforts.C. It is supported by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF.D. It needs to take fully into account varied views from the society. 56. According to Nick Gibb, grasp of basic subjects early on in primary school is important for _.A. the primary curriculum reform B. childrens development in the futureC. learning more basic knowledge D. increasing the childrens confidenceCHe leant down to the pickpocket. The heaving and gasping had stopped, but he was still making a show of his breathlessness.“Thats better,” Mallon said. “Can you stand up? Try to stand up. Here,” he said, and gripped the pickpockets arm and forced him upright until he saw his face for the first time. As the pickpocket labored for breath, he gazed up at Mallon with his dark eyes.“How could you?”they asked.Mallon might have said, “Because you tried to steal from me.” But he was still conscious of the flush of joy hed felt when his blow struck home when he knew hed hurt the man. Where that joy came from he couldnt say, but he knew that its roots were deeper than some clumsy failed theft.Fat drops of rain began to patter on theawning(雨篷).“How are you?” Mallon said. “Can you walk?” The pickpocket turned away and leant against the store window with both hands, and his head sank lower as his shoulders rose and fell. A gray-haired woman inside the store rapped on the glass and made a shooing motion. When the pickpocket ignored her, she rapped harder and kept rapping.“I have to go,” Mallon said. “Im sorry.” He looked up at the sky. “Im sorry,” he said again, and stepped into the rain and walked quickly up the street.One of the Bangladeshi umbrella sellers was working the corner, and Mallon had just paid seven euros when he heard a woman shouting. He didnt want to look back but did. It was the woman from the shop, pushing and batting the pickpocket away from the window while he bent down and covered his head like a boxer trying to get through the last seconds of a round. Mallon slipped his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the umbrella that the Bangladeshi had opened for him.The pickpocket was out on the sidewalk now, in the rain. The woman stood just under the awning with her arms crossed over her chest.“Excuse me, madam,” Mallon said, coming up to them. “This man isnt well. He needs to rest a moment.”“I know these people,” she said. “Our Romans dont want them here.”The rain fell in sheets, ran down the pickpockets shinyscalpand face, down his leather jacket.“Here,” Mallon said, and offered him the umbrella, but he only looked at Mallon with his hurt dark eyes and then lowered his head again. Mallon bumped him in the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella. “Go on take it!” he said. And finally, with a beaten, unwilling look, the pickpocket did.And that was when he saw a taxi round the corner with a light glowing on its roof. Mallon ran out waving his arm and the cab turned sharply to the pavement, sendinga lot ofwater over his shoes. He opened the door but couldnt help looking back. The pickpocket had lowered the umbrella to the ground upside down and was leaning on theshaft, head low, neck bared to the sky.“Wait,” Mallon said to the driver. He went back and grabbed the pickpockets sleeve and pulled him to the cab. “Get in,” Mallon said, and took the umbrella and pushed him into the back seat. He leaned inside. “O.K., where do you live?”“No Gypsies!” the driver said. He was twisted around, glaring at the pickpocket.“Gypsy? Look, hes not well. Ill pay,” Mallon added.The driver shook his head. “No Gypsies. Get him out,”Mallon looked at the drivers nameplate: Michele Kadare. “Its the law,” he said, “If you dont take us, Signor Kadare, Ill report you and youll lose your license. Believe me I am quite serious.”The driver fastened those pale eyes on Mallon and turned and put his hands on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and he and Mallon exchanged stares.“O.K., Mr. American,” he said. “You pay.”57. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. Mallon shouldnt have saved the pickpocket.B. The pickpocket didnt thank Mallon for his offer.C. The pickpocket blamed Mallon for his failure to steal.D. Mallon must have beaten the pickpocket before helping him.58. Where should the sentence “He hesitated, then turned back.” be placed?A. Between paragraphs 5 and 6.B. Between paragraphs 6 and 7.C. Between paragraphs 7 and 8.D. Between paragraphs 8 and 9.59. From the attitudes of the woman and the driver towards the pickpocket, we can conclude that _.A. the Gypsies had a
