　　Ⅱ.阅读理解【科普知识类】

　　Baby girls make their way to dolls as soon as they can crawl and boys will head for the toy cars,a study has shown. The findings,the first to show consistent differences in very young babies,suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.

　　Dr. Brenda Todd carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged between nine months and 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys’ toys:a car,a digger,a ball and a blue teddy (泰迪熊). The rest were girls?toys:a pink teddy,a dtoll and a cooking set. They were placed a metre away from the toys,and could pick whichever they pleased. Their choices,and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.

　　Of the youngest children (between nine months and 14 months),girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys,and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than girls did. Among the two-and-three-year-olds,girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with the car,which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents?views on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girlls,and the children抯 choices.y

　　Dr. Brenda Todd said,揅hildren of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that move while girls get toys which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that childrehn show interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been well adapted to prefer moving objects,probably through hunting instincts (本能),while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink,the color of a newborn baby.”

　　活页综合提升练(九)

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　语篇解读:本文讲述了一个叫Louis的人因将车停错位置而导致车被警方拖走的故事。

　　1.longer　考查形容词比较级的用法。由空格后面的than可知应用比较级longer。

　　2.drove　考查动词的时态。由全文内容可知,本文讲了一个发生在过去的故事,故用一般过去时。

　　3.but　考查连词的用法。由前后内容可知此处应用转折连词but。

　　4.looking　考查非谓语动词的用法。此处looking for a parking space在句中作伴随状语,且与主语He之间为主动关系。

　　5.spaces　考查名词的用法。由空格前面的数词two可知应用复数名词spaces。space表示“停车位”时是可数名词。

　　6.that　考查连词的用法。由前面的so glad...可知,此处用that引导结果状语从句。

　　7.hurried　考查动词的时态。此处hurried与前面的drove和parked为并列的谓语动词。

　　8.to get　考查非谓语动词的用法。句意:第二天早上他回到停车场去取车。由句意可知,此处为目的状语,故用to get。

　　9.him　考查代词的用法。由空格前面的tell可知,此处应用宾格him作宾语。

　　10.away　考查副词的用法。take away带走,为固定搭配。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　语篇解读:女孩对玩具娃娃感兴趣而男孩则对活动的玩具情有独钟, 这一切都是有生物基础的。

　　1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“there is a biological basis to their preferences”可知,男婴和女婴对玩具有着不同的偏爱是因为存在生物基础的差异。

　　2.B　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,男婴和女婴都喜欢的玩具是泰迪熊。

　　3.C　推理判断题。根据第三段提供的数据可推知,婴儿的年龄越大,对玩具的偏爱就越明显。

　　4.B　推理判断题。最后一段提到这个年龄段的婴儿已经开始接触社会,但研究结果与以前的观点相吻合,很可能是人类进化的结果,故可推知男女婴儿对玩具的偏爱不受社会环境的影响。

　　Ⅲ.完形填空

　　语篇解读:一只刚出生几天的小海豹被遗弃了,在作者一家和环保志愿者的帮助下,这只海豹活了下来。

　　1.A　根据本空后的but he always came back可知,与“回来”相对应的动作应该是“游走”,故选away。

　　2.B　这只小海豹总是游回来找作者一家,这让作者一家感觉很“惊讶(amazing)”。

　　3.A　根据本空后的had nowhere else to go和下文中的Without his mother’s milk,in the absence of his mother可知,这只小海豹被“遗弃(abandoned)”了。

　　4.C　根据本句中的Without his mother’s milk及with his eyes closed可以看出,由于没有母亲的乳汁喂养,这只小海豹很“虚弱(weak)”,连眼睛都睁不开。

　　5.B　作者游向这只小海豹,“为的是(so that)”和他近距离接触。

　　6.A　根据本段内容可知,这只小海豹很虚弱,所以作者希望他有“精力(energy)”。

　　7.B　根据本段开头的with his eyes closed可知,小海豹原来闭着的眼睛突然“睁开(opened)”了。

　　8.C　原本虚弱的小海豹现在活蹦乱跳,跟作者互动,这太“不可思议(magical)”了。

　　9.C　出生几天就被遗弃,没有母亲的乳汁喂养,所以如果得不到帮助的话,这只小海豹不可能“活下来(survive)”。

　　10.D　为了帮助这只小海豹,作者一家“联系(got in touch with)”了当地的环保志愿者。

　　11.B　12.A　从上文小海豹一直回来找作者一家并且与作者的互动不难看出,他跟作者一家建立了“亲密的(close)”关系。从下文志愿者要把小海豹带走的举动及he was too close to humans可知,这种亲密的关系正是志愿者“担心的(concerned)”问题。

　　13.B　由于小海豹跟人类的关系过于亲密,所以志愿者要把他带到人“不多(few)”的地方。

　　14.C　小海豹要被带走,看到他“离开(leave)”,作者一家都很难受。

　　15.A　根据下段中的we called again可知,这里是指作者一家给志愿者“打电话(called)”。

　　16.B　17.D　“当(When)”志愿者告诉作者一家小海豹跟人类过于亲密时,作者一家意识到这可能是他们的“过错(fault)”。

　　18.B　根据上段中的keep an eye on him可知,志愿者不仅要把小海豹带到人少的区域,还要密切“观察(observe)”他,确保他的安全。

　　19.D　20.D　一星期后,作者一家又给志愿者打电话,志愿者说他们“发现(spotted)”小海豹跟其他海豹一起在水里游,这说明小海豹“活了下来(alive)”。

　　【疑难词汇解读】

　　1.keep an eye on照看,照料

　　Mary offered to keep an eye on the baby while I was away.

　　玛丽提出可以在我外出时照看婴儿。

　　2.inform vt.通知;通告

　　Please inform us of any changes of address as soon as possible.

　　地址如有变更,请尽早通知我们。

　　We regret to inform you that your application has been rejected.

　　我们很遗憾地通知你,你的申请未被接受。

　　【长难句子分析】

　　At first we thought it was amazing that he kept swimming back to us,until we noticed that he obviously had been abandoned,and had nowhere else to go.

　　这是一个主从复合句。主句为we thought it was amazing that he kept swimming back to us,其中it was amazing that he kept swimming back to us为省略了that的宾语从句,在宾语从句中,it为形式主语,指代that he kept swimming back to us。until在句中引导时间状语从句,在状语从句中,that he obviously had been abandoned,and had nowhere else to go为宾语从句。

　　起初,我们一直觉得它不断地游回到我们身边是令人惊异的,直到我们注意到它很显然是被遗弃了,并且它无处可去。
