  Not long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. 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 caregivers. 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 children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) 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 (消沉).
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.
小題1: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?
A．The environment.B．Mother’s sensitivity.
C．Education before birth.D．Their peers (同齡人)
小題2: What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?
A．To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.
B．To prove that babies can learn before 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.
小題3: Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?
A．The children of women who did not suffer from depression.
B．The children of depressed but caring mothers.
C．The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.
D．The children with high communication abilities.
小題4: What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.
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 babies develop before birth.

  How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?
The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(愛斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
Some people live near the sea from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again
小題1: From the passage we can know there are _______ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
A．3B．4C．5D．7
小題2:. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________
A．they know very little about the sun
B．the sun there never goes down in winter
C．it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D．it has long dark winters and long light summers
小題3:. What does the underlined word “tides” mean in the passage?
A．洋流B．潮汐C．海嘯D．波浪
小題4: In which page of newspaper can you probably read this passage?
A．NewsB．ScienceC．AdvertisementD．Sports
小題5: What is the best title for the passage?
A．Different Ways to Tell TimeB．How the Clock Was Invented
C．The Development of the ClockD．A Useful Machine to Tell Time

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources (資源). Many of the world's great cities are located(坐落) on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important role in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of the history, people have used rivers for transportation(運(yùn)輸). The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Gangs is great, but it is also important for transportation; Ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops(莊稼), and chances for fun and entertainment for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase(增加) the supply of crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大壩) across a river and let a lake from behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.
However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of this natural resource.
小題1:The greatest river for navigation is ___________.
A．the Amazon B．the Nile
C．the MekongD．the Mississippi
小題2:From a dam, people can use the water for ___________.
A．keeping the rivers cleanB．only making electricity
C．washing clothesD．irrigation and making electricity
小題3:The water in the river is polluted because of _____________.
A．people's drinking water too much
B．people's swimming in the river too much
C．chemicals and other materials
D．people's building a dam across a river
小題4:The best title of the passage is ___________.
A．Rivers in Cities B．The importance of Rivers
C．TransportationD．Natural Resources

閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)所給語境，按要求完成下列各題。
①After Pluto (冥王星) was found in 1930, people took it as the ninth planet in our solar system(太陽(yáng)系). But it isn’t like other planets. It is smaller and has an strange orbit(軌道). On August 24,2006， scientists said,“Pluto is not a planet.”
About 2,500 scientists met in Prague（布拉格，捷克首都）. At first, some of them said that there would be 12 planets in our solar system. In the end, the scientists said that only Mercury（水）, Venus（金）, Earth, Mars（火）, Jupiter（木）, Saturn（土）, Uranus（天王）and Neptune（海王）are the planets in the solar system. ②Each of these planets has its own orbit, and of the planets is big enough to be a planet. Pluto’s orbit overlaps (重疊) Neptune’s and it is smaller than the other planets. ③So Pluto is classified(劃歸/分類) as a dwarf planet (矮行星), but no longer a planet in the solar system.
Students at school will have new schoolbooks to learn the new solar system!
小題1:根據(jù)①處完成下面的句子（每空一詞）
