I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding . The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7 , 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ(智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(樣本)of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeling style. These results don't surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.

【解析】
試題分析:本文典型的議論文,論點是反對定期喂養(yǎng)嬰兒。論據(jù):一是我們不知道嬰兒的血糖的情況。二是文中例舉了定期喂養(yǎng)的害處。三是實驗表明,按需喂養(yǎng)比定期喂養(yǎng)的孩子更聰明。結(jié)論:希望結(jié)束定期喂養(yǎng)的習(xí)慣。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I've never heard anything so ridiculous. wrong idea和ridiculous“荒謬的”兩者屬于同義重現(xiàn),故選C。
2.詞義猜測題。basic基本的; reliable可靠的; surprising吃驚的; interesting有趣的。根據(jù)第四和第五段的實驗結(jié)果的具體描述可知,故選B。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7 , 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ(智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. wiser更加聰明的,故選D。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. whenever it wants food什么時候需要就喂孩子,故選C。
考點:健康保健類短文閱讀。
點評:本段主要考查細(xì)節(jié)題。細(xì)節(jié)題通常采用詞語和句型轉(zhuǎn)換的形式來取代原文中的表述,命題者在出這類題時慣用“偷梁換柱、張冠李戴”的手法來迷惑考生,所以正確理解題干和信息句的意義是關(guān)鍵。
