11、hat the accident really is a sort of attack on oneself. Road accidents for example happen frequently after a family quarrel and we all know people who are accident-prone so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others. By definition an accid

12、ent is something you can not predict or avoid and the idea which used to be current that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of careless

13、ness or thoughtlessness. It is not always clear either what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident.

19、Is language like food a basic human need Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King Frederick II in the 13th century it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the

20、 first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering in the first year of life especially the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless some

21、children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times it seems when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected th

22、e ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. Linguists语言学家suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. Rec

23、ent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Mans brain compared with that of the monkey is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of say a teddy-bear玩具熊with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”. But speech has to be stimula

24、ted and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child where the mother recognizes the signals in the childs babbling牙牙学语 grasping crying smiling and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out on

25、ly the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the childs non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language. 11. Frederick IIs experiment was violent because_. A he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak B he ignored the importance of mothering to the infant C he was un

26、kind to the nurse D he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue 12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_. A their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak B their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them C they do not listen carefully to their mothers D thei

27、r brains have to absorb too much language at once. 13. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means_. A difficult periods in the childs life B moments when the child becomes critical to its mother C important stages in the childs development D times when mothers often neglect their children 1

28、4. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage A Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in man B Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speak C Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligent D Most children learn their language in definite stages 15. If th

29、e mother does not respond to her childs signals_. A the child will never be able to speak properly B the child will stop giving out signals C the child will invent a language of his own D the child will make little effort to speak Passage Four Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. A

30、mericans who remember “the good old days” are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants移民 complain too.

31、iplication and division.

32、hy is it that this is still the country of innovation创新 When I was 12 in Indonesia I had to memorize the name of all the worlds major cities from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age my son who was brought up by a Californian thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6 he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school including the streets the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are
