During her stops there, she wou

22、ld see an 11-year-old boy, Elijah, playing basketball with an old and rusty bent hoop（篮球框）.“It was crazy to me how happy he was with the broken hoop. Every time I saw him, he was so joyful playing basketball. Seeing him so happy stuck with me,” said Aubrey.The FedEx driver thought about Elijah many

23、times over the months, and decided that she wanted to help him in a special way. “I just wouldnt stop thinking about it. I really wanted to get him a hoop. He should have a new one.”Aubrey went out and bought a new basketball hoop and replaced the old one when the family wasnt home. She left a note

25、I showed it to him, he got really emotional. He got teary-eyed but hes an 11-year-old boy, so he really didnt want to show he was crying,” laughed Coledo. “He just sat there for 10 minutes looking at the hoop until it really touched him that she went out of her way to do something just for him.”Aubr

COver the past half-century, scientists have agreed on two reasonable theories related to baby talk. One states that a young childs brain needs time t

31、o master language. The second theory states that a childs vocabulary level is the key factor. According to this theory, some key steps have to happen in a logical order before sentence formation happens. In 2007, researchers at Harvard University, who were studying the two theories, found a clever w

32、ay to test them. More than 20,000 internationally adopted（收养的） children enter the U.S. each year. Many of them no longer hear their birth language after they arrive, and they must learn English more or less the same way infants（婴儿） do. International adoptees dont take classes or use a dictionary whe

33、n they are learning their new tongue. All of these factors make them an ideal population in which researchers could test these competing theories about how language is learned.Neuroscientists Jesse Snedeker, Joy Geren and Carissa Shafto studied the language development of 27 children adopted from In

34、dia between the ages of two and five years. These children began learning English at an older age than US natives and had more mature（成熟的） brains. Even so, just as American-born infants, their first English sentences were made up of single words. The adoptees then went through the same stages as typ

35、ical American-born children, though at a faster speed. The adoptees and native children started putting words together in sentences when their vocabulary reached the same sizes, further suggesting that what matters is not how old you are or how mature your brain is, but the number of words you know.

36、This findingthat having more mature brains did not help the adoptees avoid the baby talk stagesuggests that babies speak in baby talk not because they have baby brains, but because they have only just started learning and need time to gain enough vocabulary. Before long, the one-word stage will give

37、 way to the two-word stage and so on. Learning how to chat like an adult is a gradual process.But this finding also raises an even older and more difficult question. Adult immigrants（移民）who learn a second language seldom achieve the same level in a foreign language as the average child raised as a n

38、ative speaker. Researchers have long supposed there is a “critical period” for language development, after which it cannot proceed with full success to fluency（流利度）. Yet we still do not understand this critical period or know why it ends. 27. What is the writers main purpose in Paragraph 2?A. To arg

39、ue that culture influences the way children learn a language.B. To give reasons why adopted children were used in the study.C. To challenge the view that adopted children need two languages.D. To prove a particular method to language learning.28. What does the Harvard finding show?A. Language learni

40、ng takes place in ordered steps.B. Some children need more conversation than others.C. Children with more mature brains avoid baby talk stage.D. Vocabulary makes little difference to sentence formation.29. When the writer says “critical period”, he means a period when_.A. children start to learn a s

41、econd languageB. immigrants want to learn another language C. adults need to be taught by native speakersD. language learners may achieve native-like fluency 30. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. What role baby talk plays in our lives.B. Why babies learn a second language easily.C. What af

42、fects childrens language development.D. How children enlarge their vocabulary gradually. DWhat does it mean to live a good life? This question has been discussed for centuries. In the field of psychology（心理学）, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure

43、and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice（奉献）. But what if these arent the only choices?In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental activities, a wide ran

44、ge of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring.After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become boring and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married wit

45、h children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesnt necessarily involve economic（经济的） richness. For instance, consider Hesses character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.Research has found psyc

46、hological richness is related to, but partially different from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life the one that people actually want?

47、In a new study, Oishi and his coworkers asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many peoples self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majorit

48、y chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes

49、their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettabl

50、e event would have made their lives psychologically richer. These findings suggest that while most people try very hard to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are satisfied living a psychologically rich existence. As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe tha

51、t taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you. 31. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _

52、.A. means living a rich lifeB. involves various deep emotions C. mixes pleasure with purposeD. stresses openness and repetition32. What does Oishis research suggest?A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many peoples lives.C. A hidden

A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significanceB. the choice of a good life differs from person to personC. a

54、positive mindset helps us understand our well-beingD. we should never be satisfied and always work for the best34. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To compare different concepts of a good life.B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.C. To talk people into achieving psychologi

55、cal richness.D. To draw attention to a less familiar form of a good life.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共8分，每小题2分）A Colourful PuzzlePeople often wear clothing with colours that express something about themselves. A happy person might choose to wear a bright yellow shirt. A swimmer might wear a sea-blue dress. A

56、nimals appear in different colours too, but they dont get to pick what they wear every morning. Scientists have known for a long time about some of the ways animal colouring can be beneficial. They know that some animals colours attract mates or show who is boss. Other animals colours blend（融合） in w

Now many scientists are working hard to figure out the puzzles of animal colours.Part of the answer can be found in an animals habitat, the place where it lives. It turns out that many animals especially birds, fish, and reptiles can see m
