In on

25、e of Doctor Kuhls studies, for example, native Mandarin Chinese speakers spoke Chinese to 9-month-old American babies for 12 sessions(训练课) over 4 weeks. Each session lasted about 25 minutes. At the end of the study, the American babies responded to Mandarin（中国话） sounds just as well as Chinese babies

26、 who had been hearing the language in their entire lives. To get a better idea of how an infant easily does what an adult often struggles to do, Kuhl puts a soft hat, called an electrode(电极) cap, on a babys head. The cap enables scientists to measure electrical activity in the brain. The amount and

27、location of electrical activity show how much work different parts of the brain are doing. The measurements show that the way the brain responds to speech changes dramatically between 6 and 12 months age. The measurements also show connections forming between parts of the brain that recognize speech

28、 and the part that controls the production of speech. If a child regularly hears two languages, his/her brain forms a different pathway for each language. However, once the brain solidifies(使固定) those electrical language pathways by around age 7, it gets harder to form new ones. By then, a babys bra

29、in has disposed of all the unnecessary connections that the infant was born with. So, if you dont start studying Spanish or Russian until middle school, you must struggle against years of brain development, and progress can be frustrating. A 12-year-olds brain has to work much harder to make languag

30、e connections than infants brain does. 56. Doctor Kuhls study method mainly depends on _. A. speech characteristics B. computer languages C. the activities one joins in D. the information collected 57. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A. American babies are cleverer than Chinese babies. B. Chi

31、nese is more difficult than English for a baby to learn. C. All babies should be given scientific training on language learning. D. A baby can master a language quickly and efficiently. 58. What can we infer from the text? A. Practice makes a quick mind. B. Better to learn languages before 7. C. Kuh

32、l is a scientist in computer science. D. Nothing could stop the brain slowing down. 59. The text is mainly about _. A. the language learning difficulties B. the characteristics of an infants brain C. how the brain works to learn a language D. how to get the language-learning skills 60. What does the

33、 underlined word “dramatically” probably mean? A. strikingly（引人注目的） B. permanently（永久的）C. practically D. immediately BThe first thing Jose Halloy wants you to know is that he will not help you get rid of the roaches(蟑螂) in your apartment. Its true that he and his colleagues have created a set of tin

34、y robotic Pied Pipers that can trick roaches into following them. But the research theyve just described in Science has nothing to do with the program of removing roaches from houses but with understanding how roaches make decisions. To observe ordinary roaches behavior, Halloy and his colleagues cr

35、eated an enclosure(围场) with two “shelters” inside. Plastic disks（磁盘） were set up so that roaches could run below the shelters to avoid bright light. When the insects were dumped into the enclosure, they moved around aimlessly for a while, but eventually all gathered under the same shelter. Some expe

36、rienced roach-watchers have a more common explanation. Roaches, they said, use just two pieces of information to decide where to go: How dark it is (the darker, the better) and how many of their friends are there. At first, the roaches will wander freely into one shelter or the other - but at some p

37、oint, enough of them will end up gathering in one shelter to reach a mass, which then becomes more attractive to the others. If that is true, Halloy and his co-workers believed they could trick the roaches into doing something unnatural. They asked some engineers to build roach robots that would run

38、 into the crowd of the real roaches. In the end, the engineers produced many wheeled robots shaped like matchboxes having the smell and size of roaches. They were programmed to have the same likes and dislikes as roaches - that is, to prefer crowds and darkness. When introduced to the real roaches,

39、the robots fit right in and the gathering behavior of the roaches was pretty much unchanged. Researchers then reprogrammed the robots to prefer a less dark hiding place. The insects and the infiltrators were put back into the enclosure which was brighter inside. Again, all the roaches ran around fre

40、ely for a while, but the robots eventually settled under the lighter, less shadowy place and the real roaches followed. 61. Jose Halloy and his companions carried out the research to _. A. remove the roaches from our flats B. show the game between robots and roaches C. show that robots can follow ro

41、aches D. study the way roaches make decisions 62. According to the passage, plastic disks _. A. are used as shelters for the roaches B. are used as a mirror to see the roachesC. are used to record roaches action D. are used to give out bright light63. According to some experienced roach-watchers, ro

42、aches will choose _. A. any place where many of their friends gather B. dark places where many of their friends gather C. dark places where few of their friends gather D. bright places where many of their friends gather 64. The underlined word “infiltrators” in Paragraph 5 refers to “_”. A. real roa

43、ches B. robotic roaches C. Halloy and his colleagues D. the roach-watchers 65. Which of the following is WRONG? A. roaches like gathering in crowds B. roaches prefer dark and shadowy places C. the research tries to get rid of roaches by killing them D. the robot roaches can trick real roaches into f

44、ollowing them even though they are in brighter places CRising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.Montana State University scienti

45、st Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.Weve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And weve been able to

46、record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in

47、particular.As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid, Dore explains. And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic.The se

48、awater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those de

49、pths. Or there could be a biological explanation.Its important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. Its potentially catastrophic.66Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospher

54、 exact tale before, to the same person. Why do w e make such memory mistakes?According to research published in Psychological Science, it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory.Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin Macleod, of the University of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory, or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from. The second was destination memory, or the ability to recall who w
