I turned onto one of the lonely rural country roads.Maybe it was because I was listening to the radio, maybe it was because I was already thinking about some projects at work, that I didnt spot the dark object on the road until I was too late. I ran over it and felt the back left tire pull, and then sink. I stopped and got out of the car.No mystery here- my back left tyre was cut like a loaf of bread. Back 50 yards was a piece of sharp iron I had run over. I had never changed a tyre. I looked up the road. Not a car in either direction. The nearest service station was miles away. I threw up my hands. Then I remembered- my cell phone! I powered it up before realizing, I didnt know who to call.Wouldnt you know it, I spotted a car coming from the opposite direction. The driver slowed as he approached. I guessed he could see I was in trouble. He stopped his car, got out and immediately saw the trouble. “Madam, would you like me to change that tyre for you?” he asked. The man couldnt have been more friendly. I was frightened out there and he put me completely at ease. “There,” he said, after putting on the spare, “you are all set to go.”“Good thing for me that you were driving this way,” I told him, as I climbed back into my car.“Funny you should say that,” he said. “Just like you, I was heading to work, but my job is in the opposite direction. I made a wrong turn at some point. I dont know what I was thinking.”31The writer didnt notice the object on the road because _.A. it was rather dark then B. she didnt use her headlightsC. there was much traffic D. she was careless when driving32From Paragraph 4 we learn that_.A. the writer felt quite anxiousB. no one would like to help the writerC. the writer was a new driverD. the cell phone should be powered up33What did the man do when he saw the writer?A.

Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. 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 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 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.42According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A. The environment. B. Mothers sensitivity.C. Their peers (同龄人) D. Education before birth.43What 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.44Which 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.45What is the main idea of the passage?A. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.B. Scientific findings about how the environment has an effect on babies intelligence.C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months old.D. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Bargain shopping is popular throughout the globe.
