【題目】Babies’ Look Changing

Researchers show that the early social behavior called look changing is linked to babies’ ability to learn new language sounds. 1. It is when a baby makes eye contact and then looks at the same object that the other person is looking at.

Rechel Brooks, one of the researchers, made a report, showing that babies’ look changing serves as a building block(基礎(chǔ))for more complicated language and social skills. 2.

In this experiment, nine 5-month-old babies from English-speaking families attended foreign language tutoring sessions. Over four weeks, the tutors talked and played with toys while speaking Spanish.

At the beginning and end of the four-week period, researchers counted how often the babies changed their look. 3. There they tested how much Spanish language sounds.

4. The more look changing the babies participate in during their tutoring sessions, the greater their brain response were to the Spanish language sounds.

“Our findings show young babies’ social engagement contributes to their own language learning – they’re not just passive listeners of language,” Brooks said. “They’re paying attention and showing parents they’re ready to learn when they’re looking back and forth.” 5.

The researchers hope their findings help people develop strategies for teaching young children.

A.That’s when the most learning happens

B.These skills are what preschool children can gain

C.The results were really amazing

D.We can’t imagine how look changing helps them learn so much

E.However, others may regard look changing as something useless

F.Look changing is one of the earliest social skills that babies show

G.After the experiment ended, the researchers brought the babies back to the lab

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了嬰兒的表情變化對語言學(xué)習(xí)的影響。

1

根據(jù)上文所說:“研究人員表明,被稱為表情變化的早期的社會(huì)行為與嬰兒學(xué)習(xí)新語言聲音的能力有關(guān)!彼钥梢灾挛摹氨砬樽兓菋雰鹤钤缯故镜纳缃患寄苤!币?yàn)楸砬樽兓窃缙诘纳鐣?huì)行為,所以這也就是嬰兒最早展示的社交技能之一。上下文有因果關(guān)系。故選F。

2

根據(jù)上文說:“嬰兒的表情變化是更復(fù)雜的語言和社交技能的基礎(chǔ)!笨芍挛模骸斑@些技能是學(xué)齡前兒童可以獲得的!边@里的these skills指代的就是上文中的“more complicated language and social skills”。要注意代詞的指代作用。故選B

4

本段是給先前做的實(shí)驗(yàn)以結(jié)論。先說:“結(jié)果是非常令人吃驚的。”然后再得出結(jié)論:“在他們的輔導(dǎo)課程中,嬰兒參與的表情變化越多,他們的大腦對西班牙語聲音的反應(yīng)就越大!惫蔬xC。

5

根據(jù)上文說:“研究表明:當(dāng)嬰兒們左顧右盼的時(shí)候,他們正在關(guān)注,并向父母展示他們準(zhǔn)備好學(xué)習(xí)了!毕挛膶ι衔淖鬟M(jìn)一步解釋:“那就是大多數(shù)學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)生的時(shí)候!贝颂幍摹that”就是指上文的“when they’re looking back and forth.”。故選A。
