　　(2017·衡阳模拟)Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.

　　Psychologist Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were typically boys’ toys—a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys:a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choices and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.

　　Of the youngest children(9 months to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and the ball than the 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’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choices.

　　Dr Brenda Todd said, “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that go while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preferences. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts(本能), while girls prefer warmer colours such as pink, the colour of a newborn baby. ” (356W)

　　1. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because　.

　　A. baby boys are much more active

　　B. baby girls like bright colours more

　　C. their parents treat them differently

　　D. there is a natural difference between them

　　2. Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with　according to the study.

　　A. a ball

　　B. a teddy

　　C. a car

　　D. a doll

　　3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

　　A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with the doll at all.

　　B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with the car and the ball.

　　C. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.

　　D. Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.

　　4. What conclusion did Dr Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?

　　A. Adults purposely influence their babies’ preferences.

　　B. Babies’preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.

　　C. Baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting.

　　D. Baby girls preferring warmer colours will be warm-hearted.

　　5. We may read this article in a　section of a newspaper.

　　A. science

　　B. health

　　C. education

　　D. entertainment

　　下面文章中有5处(第1~5题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

　　A. Gift giving proven to be valuable

　　D. Various functions of gift giving

　　E. Gift giving as a wasteful practice

　　Gift Giving

　　1. 　 

　　There are many occasions(场合)for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.

　　2. 　 

　　What is happening when we give gifts? Most importantly, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(义务).

　　3. 　 

　　Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者)know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special” . We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry. ” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages?often very expressive ones.

　　4. 　 

　　People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years, “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me, ” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had. ” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.

　　5. 　 

　　Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.
