Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say children should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.America’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make speech-like sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children can say between eight and ten words. By two years of age, most children are able to make simple statements. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language.41. Language and communication skills are best developed in an environment full of .A) babies’ loud crying B) sounds and sightsC) nonsense speech D) food and attention42. According to the second paragraph, evidence shows that for children there exist .A) natural abilities to learn a languageB) difficult periods to learn a languageC) critical abilities to develop their languageD) critical periods to develop their language43. A baby begins to learn what communication is when .A) it realizes crying will bring food and attentionB) it first realizes nonsense speech over timeC) it first makes some recognizable soundsD) it makes the sounds and speech repeatedly44. When do babies usually begin to make speech-like sounds?A) By the age of two. B)By the age of one.C) By the age of 6 months. D) By the age of three.45. According to the passage, which of the following language skills do children develop last?A) Grammar. B) Sounds. C) Words. D) Statements.Passage TwoThe only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed earnestly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from bad weather, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, when he came back from looking for food, he found that his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened. Everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” the weary man asked his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldn’t lose heart, even in the midst of pain and suffering.Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the help from God.46. From the first paragraph we learn that a ship .A) had been on fire B)had been robbedC) had sunk D)was missing47. The word exhausted (Para.2) can be best replaced with .A) tired B)shocked C) excited D)disappointed48. When he came back from looking for food, the man found his little hut .A) washed away B)in water C) torn down D)on fire49.

Passage ThreeDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to Paragraph 1 why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart.B) The tuition was raised.C) Their saving ran out .D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the school and the federal government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the school.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out from the school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that _______.A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blamed the government for the college tuition increase.B) The earn enough to support their kids’college education.C) They will try their best to send kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the last paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from making student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourOnline dating or Integer dating is a dating system which allows individuals, couples and groups to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a personal, romantic, or sexual relationship.

Few realize, however, how very uneven the distribution actually is .71) It is necessary to think of the total amount of water on Earth, the areas where the water occurs, and the long-term importance of the findings.The oceans of the world cover 140 million square miles of the Earth’s surface and the average depth of the ocean basin is about 12,500 feet. If the basins were shallow, seas would spread far onto the continents. 72) Dry land areas would consist mainly of a few island groups with high mountain ranges rising above the sea.Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere is roughly four times the volume of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. 73) It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the Earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inchthick. 74) A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only s small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? 75) The answer is that rain-yielding air masses are in motion, and as the drying air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.Part V writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My Opinion on Helping Those in Need.
