　　A

　　The word “labyrinth”， or maze, refers to a complex structure of interconnecting passages through which it is difficult to find one's way. The most famous labyrinth is found in Greek mythology (神话). Designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Knossos to contain the fierce Minotaur (a half man and half bull monster), Daedalus' labyrinth was so complex that he, himself, could hardly find his way through it and, having successfully done so, Minos put him and his son, Icarus, into prison in a high tower in case he told the secret of the maze. Daedalus and Icarus fled using the feathers of birds bound together by wax to form wings and fly from the tower. Sadly, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax of his wings, and fell into the sea to drown.

　　The

　　other

　　well known labyrinth

　　was

　　a pyramid complex (金字塔群) of many courts in Egypt, built at Hawara for Amenemhet Ⅲ， a ruler of the 12th Dynasty (1844－1797 BC). There were twelve separate courts of large size — six in a row facing north, six south — and all connected by corridors (走廊). Inside, the building was of two stories and contained about three thousand rooms, of which one half were underground, and the other half directly above them. The labyrinth was described by the Greek historian Herodotus,

　　“The Egyptians in charge refused to let me see the underground ones, as they contain the tombs of the kings. I did actually see the upper rooms,

　　and it is hard to believe that they are the work of men. The mysterious

　　and complicated passages from room to room and from court to court were an endless wonder to me.” The great Egyptian labyrinth fell into ruin at some unknown point and was pulled down. So great was the site as a source of building materials that a small town grew up around the ruins. Nothing remains of this great architectural wonder today except the destroyed pyramid of Amenemhet Ⅲ at Hawara by the oasis

　　(绿洲)

　　of Faiyum.

　　(2016·哈尔滨市第三中学一模)Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip­readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”. The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.

　　Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face­time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.

　　But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen­Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4­month­olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6­month­olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8­ and 10­month­olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes.

　　But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12­month­olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.

　　The continued lip­reading shows the 1­year­olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”， says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.

　　5.According to the first paragraph, babies________.

　　A.might get its voice “mama” by lip­reading

　　B.learn to talk just from hearing the sounds

　　C.like to figure out how to shape their lips

　　D.communicate with parents through gestures

　　6.What is necessary in developing babies' speech according to Lewkowicz?

　　A.Playing baby DVD nearby.

　　B.Teaching babies to read English.

　　C.Speaking with babies face to face.

　　D.Speaking different languages in front of babies.

　　7.Which of the following shows the right change of babies' eye gaze according to the text?

　　8.What would be the best title of the text?

　　A.Babies Have Different Methods to Talk

　　B.Babies Try Lip­reading in Learning to Talk

　　C.Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two Languages

　　D.Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language

　　Ⅱ.任务型阅读

　　(2016·辽师大附中高三模拟)Though great progress has been made in science these years, but there are still many people living in poor conditions. They make their lives by collecting and selling used thing. Their children cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there. Why you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion.
