They often act in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.Autism is more often seen in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studyi

31、ng DNA and possible environmental influences.Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis(确诊) of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She

32、led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age.“At six months of age, when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated place, the babys head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. But that does not mean that the baby

33、 is going to have autism. It does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to help their body get stronger. And when the babies strengthen their bodies, they are better able to play with toys and also with people, which will help them have better outcomes.”By the time a baby is one year old, signs

34、 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 very small and their children might be missed during a short health exam.“

35、Its important for parents to pay attention to their childrens development, and if they care about a childs development, they should listen to experts.”The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin simple things that may help improve their childrens development.

36、they can talk to the children about what they are doing, give opinions when the children show them something, and play simple games that keep the childrens attention.1Whats the best title of the passage?AHow to Confirm a Diagnosis of AutismBCatching the Early Signs of Autism in BabiesCWays to Help C

39、fights hunger and homelessnessAustin Perine is only four years old. His story started this past February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. “I told him that the babies would be homeless for a while,” TJ

40、 says. “Austin didnt know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.” Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救济中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men standing on the

41、 street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed thefood out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week.He handed out burgers along

47、 socialmedia.DBy spending time and money caring about them.E17、 Ragtime is a fast and complicated (复杂的) kind of music that was popular around the beginning of the twentieth century. Scott Joplin is now considered to be the most important American ragtime composer and piano player. During his lifetim

48、e, Joplin only enjoyed a short period of career success in the early 1900s. However, his work had an important, lasting effect on music-lovers, as well as other composers.When ragtime first appeared in the late nineteenth century, it was considered a low form of cheap entertainment, not a serious mu

49、sical movement. Then in 1899, Joplin wrote a ragtime song called Maple Leaf Rag. The song showed Joplins creative mix of African. American rhythm and more accepted European American musical styles. It was a huge success and helped to make ragtime popular with the general public. Maple Leaf Rag was t

50、he first instrumental work to sell over one million copies of sheet music (乐谱). It was also the first music by an African American to find a large number of fans among European Americans.Although the general ragtime style already appeared for a long time before Joplin began composing, his work attra

51、cted a lot of attention from other ragtime composers of his time. Songs like Maple Leaf Rag influenced these composers mostly because they were very popular with the public. And many of them started to add similar fast and complicated rhythm to their music. Later, composers came to think highly of t

52、he high quality of Joplins music, which has continued to capture the imagination of many composers and musicians by now. For example, many later jazz musicians were influenced by Joplins complicated Africanstyle rhythm. Jazz, in turn, went on to influence many more popular music styles. These includ

53、e the blues, rock and roll, soul, and even hiphop. As a result, many music historians now list Joplins work as an early basis of all modern popular music.1What can we learn about ragtime?AIt was a mix of music styles.BIt was most popular during Joplins time.CIt was not a serious musical movement.DIt

54、 helped make ragtime became cheaper.2What can we infer from the passage?ARagtime came from Europe in the late nineteenth century.BRagtime was started by Joplin around the beginning of the twentieth century.CMost of European Americans in Joplins time were tired of European American music.DMost of Eur

55、opean Americans in Joplins time didnt listen to music by African Americans.3The expression “capture the imagination of many composers and musicians” in this passage is the closest in meaning to _.Amake many composers and musicians relaxedBmake many composers and musicians stressedCmake many composer

56、s and musicians satisfiedDmake many composers and musicians interested4What is the passage mainly about?AScott Joplins fast piano playing.BThe types of music Scott Joplin liked.CScott Joplins short period of success .DThe importance of Scott Joplins music.F18、Shopping for clothes is not the same exp

57、erience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want If the shop has it, the salesman quickly finds it, and the business of trying it on continues at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is compl

58、eted in less than five minutes.For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then, the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. I know this jacket is not the style(款式)you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you ment

59、ioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is, This is the right color and maybe the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.However, a woman does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on(以. 为基础) need, and she is only having

60、a look around. She is always open to persuasion, really she believes in what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected sale. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a w
