Deaf and Hearing Loss

People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They
have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication一perhaps at a time when learn-
ing is not all that easy.
A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem.The sound perceived by the deaf person
through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with
normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
Lip reading is difficult,demands intense concentration,and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's
face.No other activities can take place at the same time:the lip reader has to stop eating,stop everything in
order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper一as it sometimes appears to
be一but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted.Remember what it's
like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line.Frustrating,isn't it?The deaf have to face all the
time.
A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner一to treat them as if you
were in a foreign country.You would speak more clearly,slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you'd
use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be abso-
lutely certain.You can do all those things with the deaf一as well as making sure you don't obscure your
mouth with your hand,a pipe or a cigarette.
Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may be quite efficient and useful in a quite
carpeted room一but try it in the high street in the rush hour,in a noisy car,in a railway station ticket office,
a cinema or a concert hail and you've got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech.So don't suggest
to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse一and in-
crease their sense of failure.
On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should
experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing,fitting adaptors for radio and television,observing
which friends are easier to understand,and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and
positive activities.

Why might increase deaf people's sense of failure?
A:Because they cannot hear well when they go to the cinema.
B:Because their hearing aids are not effective.
C:Because they can not see the speaker's mouth in order to lip-read.
D:Because they will not be able to hear very well and this may make them feel particularly conscious of their handicap.

3.Under normal conditions, the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols that mean the same to the sender and the receiver.The means of communication are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touching seem to play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of sings and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and imitation. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf, and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing light. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form. of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.1、Reception of communication______ .A、is more important than sending messagesB、 depends on two personsC、 involves use of the sensesD、 play only limited roles2、Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ______.A、communication by soundB、 gesture and imitationC、 communication by sending a messageD、 communication between the listener and speaker3、Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through ______.A、gesturingB、handshakingC、smellingD、hand-stroking4、The author specifically mentions that speech is______A、often used when other means are impossibleB、necessary for normal communicationC、the only highly developed system of communicationD、the most developed form. of communication based on hearing5、According to the passage, means of communication _________A、can develop quickly if there is enough time and spaceB、all have the same featuresC、have some limitations even if they are fully developedD、depend on the persons involved

    A:.different techniques
    B: social relationships and communication
    C: language and information
    D: several causes working together
    E: a degree of repetition
    F: skill development

    答案:F
    解析:
    该段第一句是个定义句(A is B),因此应该是该段主题句。该句在对孤独症 进行定义和解释,E项“什么是孤独症”与之呼应。
    段落中出现了明显的段落主题词:cause“原因”, problem affecting“起影响作用的问题”, factor“因素”。这三组词的核心词义都是“原因,因素”,因此包含段落主题词 cause的A项“造成孤独症的原因”是该段主题。
    该段中出现了段落主题词retardation"智力迟钝”,因此D项“孤独症和智力迟钝之间有杆么不同”是段落主题。
    段首句提到“总的来说,患有孤独症的人在做设计安排好、具有重复性的工作时表现得最出色”,接下来具体提到了什么工作适合患孤独症的人。由此可见F项“患孤独症的人能做什么工作?”是该段主题。
    题干意为“患有孤独症的人尤其不擅长……”。第一道完成句子题常依据第 一段内容设置,因此首先重点关注第一段:Autism(孤独症) is a lifelong developmental disability that prevents individuals from properly understanding what they see,hear,and otherwise sense. This results in severe problems of social relationships,communication,and behavior. Individuals with autism have to painstakingly(费力地)learn(与题干中的particularly weak呼应)normal patterns of speech and communication , and appropriate ways to relate to people, objects, and events, in a similar manner to those who have had a stroke.第一段最后一句意为“患有孤独症的人在学习语言模式和交流模式,学习与他人打交道的方式,学习应对物品和事件上感到很费力”,由此可知B项“社会关系和交流”是答案。
    题干意为“孤独症的出现可能是因为……的结果”。题干从内容上看涉及到造成孤独症的原因,第二段的主题就涉及到造成孤独症的原因,因此重点关注第二段,题干中没有定位线索词可以利用,因此关注题干中的其他核心词(如:题干中的修饰词,谓语动词等)(提示:题干中没有定位线索词可以利用时,就需要关注题干中其他的核心词/短语,并利用它们作为定位线索),关注题干中的修饰词possible,谓语动词happen及介词短语as a resuit of。(第二段)The cause of autism is still unknown. Some research suggests a physical problem affecting those parts of the brain that process language and information coming in from the senses. There may be some imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain. Genetic(遗传 的)factors may sometimes be involved. Autism may(与题干中的possible呼应)indeed result from(与题干中的as a result of呼应)a combination of several“ causes”.第二段最后一句提到 “孤独症可能是几个致病因素共同作用的结果”,因此答案为D项“几个致病因素共同作用”。
    题干意为“应该用……对待孤独症和智力迟钝”。利用题干中的细节信息短 语mental retardation作为定位线索,在第三段中找到相关句:Most people with mental retardation(智力迟钝) show relatively even skill development. Individuals with autism , however, typically show uneven skill development, with deficits(欠缺)in certain areas一most frequently in their ability to communicate and relate to others一and distinct skills in other areas. It is important to distinguish autism from mental retardation or other disorders,since diagnostic(诊断的)confusion may lead to inappropriate and ineffective treatment techniques.段 落最后一句提到“区别孤独症和智力迟钝及其他疾病很重要,因为如果不能清楚地诊断病情可能会造成不恰当而且无效的治疗”。由此可知孤独症和智力迟钝这两种疾病需要区别对待,并且采取不同的治疗方法,因此该题答案为A项“不同的治疗方法”。
    题干意为“患有孤独症的人的一个通常特征是他们不平衡的……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语a typical feature,作为定位线索,同时关注题干中出现的修饰词uneyen,这样在第三段中找到相关句:Most people with mental retardation(智力迟钝) show relatively even skill development. Individuals with autism, however, typically(与typical呼应) show uneven skill development, with deficits(欠缺)in certain areas-most frequently in their ability to communicate and relate to others-and distinct skills in other areas. It is important to distinguish autism from mental retardation or ether disorders , since diagnostic(诊断的)confusion may lead to inappropriate and ineffective treatment techniques.第三段第二句提到“然而,患有孤独症的人通常会出现技能发展不平衡”,由此可知患有孤独症的人通常具有的一个特点是技能发展不平衡,因此该题答案为F项“技能发展”。

    Deaf and Hearing Loss

    People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They
    have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication一perhaps at a time when learn-
    ing is not all that easy.
    A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem.The sound perceived by the deaf person
    through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with
    normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
    Lip reading is difficult,demands intense concentration,and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's
    face.No other activities can take place at the same time:the lip reader has to stop eating,stop everything in
    order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper一as it sometimes appears to
    be一but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted.Remember what it's
    like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line.Frustrating,isn't it?The deaf have to face all the
    time.
    A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner一to treat them as if you
    were in a foreign country.You would speak more clearly,slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you'd

    which friends are easier to understand,and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and
    positive activities.

    A person who loses hearing________.
    A:can hear well with the help of a hearing aid
    B:can communicate with others by lip reading and at the same time with the help of a hearing aid
    C:can only communicate with others with the help of pencil and paper
    D:can communicate easily with others by lip reading

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第二段可知,助听器并不能完全解决问题,因为声音通过助听器常常变调,另外 噪音很大,所以听觉差者还必须通过唇读理解别人的话。故选B。
    由文章第三段第三句话可知,听觉差的人为了唇读,不得不把手头的任何活动停止。 为了去注视说话人的嘴,而不得不停止任何活动,有时候看上去显得很愚蠢。故选A。
    由文章第四段可知,我们要像对待外国人那样对待耳聋者,说话时要清楚缓慢,稍微提 高声音,并且利用手势把意思表达清楚等等。第五段第一句说:另一点常被人忽视的是助听器 在安静的环境下可能很有用,但在嘈杂的环境下可能是另外一回事。"another point”显然是承 接上段的内容,故选D。
    文章第五段最后一句话说:不要建议或鼓励聋人去那些地方,使他们感觉到他们的缺 陷很严重——从而使他们有一种失败的感觉。故选D。
    本文的目的是告诉读者A项:怎样去帮助耳聋者。文章的前半部分提到耳聋者为了明 白别人的说话所面临的困难,后半部分讲了我们在和耳聋者相处时应该怎么做。文章的重点 在于强调后者,故选A。

    The Biology of Music
    Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate.It may also play an important role in love.But what is music,and how does it work its magic?Science does not yet have all the answers.
    What are two things that make humans different from animals?One is language,and the other is music.It is true that some animals can sing(and many birds sing better than a lot of people).However,the songs of animals,such as birds and whales,are very limited.It is also true that humans,not animals,have developed musical instruments.
    Music is strange stuff.It is clearly different from language.However,people can use music to communicate things-especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song,it is a very powerful form of communication.But,biologically speaking,what is music?
    If music is truly different from speech,then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.
    Sometimes people who , suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language.However,they don't automatically(自动地)lose their musical abilities.For example , Vissarion Shebalin , a Russian composer , had a stroke(中风)in 1953.It injured the left side of his brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could,however,still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other hand,sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability,but they can still speak and understand speech.This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.
    By studying the physical effects of music on the body,scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions.But why does music have such a strong effect on us?That is a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller,a researcher at University College,London,thinks that music and love have a strong connection.Music requires special talent,practice,and physical ability.That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate.For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remember the notes(音符).And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition.Finally,when a man sings to the woman he loves(or vice versa),it may be a way of showing off.
    However,Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists,this is clearly an area that needs further research.

    Humans are different from animals because______.
    A:they have different languages and music
    B:they have different languages and communications
    C:they have different songs and languages
    D:they have different music and songs

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第一段第一句可知,音乐可以作为高效的交流方式;根据第六段第六、十句可知,音乐可以作为一种有用的求爱工具;根据第六段第一句可知,音乐可以影响情绪。虽然第一段第三句出现了“magic”这个词,但并没有提到音乐可以用来表演魔术,故选B项。
    根据第二段第一、二句可知,导致动物与人类不同的因素有两个,分别是语言和音乐。
    根据第五段第一、二句可知,丧失处理语言能力的人不会自动丧失音乐才能,所以A项错误;根据第五段第三、四、五、六句可知,Vissarion Shebalin在1953年患了中风,中风损伤了他的左脑,他便不能说话或理解话语了,却依然能够作曲,可知BC两项错误。根据第五段最后一句可知,大脑对音乐和语言分别进行处理,D项正确,故选D项。
    根据第六段第五句可知,作者认为学习音乐需要特殊的天赋、练习以及体能。文章中并没有提到学习音乐需要某种心理素养。
    文章第一段提出了什么是音乐这个问题,然后指出音乐是人与动物区别的因素之一。第三段最后一句又再次提出了从生物学上来说音乐是什么这个问题,然后对此进行了分析。由此可知,本篇文章主要讲的是如何从生物学的角度来理解音乐。

    How Deafness Makes It Easier to Hear【如何让耳聋的人更容易听见】
      Most people think of Beethoven's hearing loss as an obstacle to composing music. However, he produced his most powerful works in the last decade of his life when he was completely deaf.
      This is one of the most glorious cases of the triumph of will over adversity, but his biographer, Maynard Solomon, takes a different view. ___1___. In his deaf world Beethoven could experiment, free from the sounds of the outside world, free to create new forms and harmonies.
      Hearing loss does not seem to affect the musical ability of musicians who become deaf. They continue to "hear" music with as much, or greater, accuracy than if they were actually hearing it being played.
      ___2___. He described a fascinating phenomenon that happened within three months: "my former musical experiences began to play back to me. I couldn't differentiate between what I heard and real hearing. After many years, it is still rewarding to listen to these playbacks, to ‘ hear' music which is new to me and to find many quiet accompaniments for all of my moods. "
      How is it that the world we see, touch, hear, and smell is both "out there" and at the same time within us? There is no better example of this connection between external stimulus and internal perception than the cochlear implant. ___3___.However, it might be possible to use the brain's remarkable power to make sense of the electrical signals the implant produces.
      When Michael Edgar first "switched on" his cochlear implant, the sounds he heard were not at all clear. Gradually, with much hard work, he began to identify everyday sounds. For example, "The insistent ringing of the telephone became clear almost at once.”
      The primary purpose of the implant is to allow communication with others. When people spoke to Eagar, he heard their voices "coming through like a long-distance telephone call on a poor connection.” But when it came to his beloved music, the implant was of no help.___4___.He said, "I play the piano as I used to and hear it in my head at the same time. The movement of my fingers and the feel of the keys give added 'clarity' to hearing in my head.”
      Cochlear implants allow the deaf to hear again in a way that is not perfect, but which can change their lives.___5___.Even the most amazing cochlear implants would have been useless to Beethoven as he composed his Ninth Symphony at the end of his life.
    文章(36~40)

      A No man-made device could replace the ability to hear.
      B When he wanted to appreciate music, Eagar played the piano.
      C Still, as Michael Eagar discovered, when it comes to musical harmonies, hearing is irrelevant.
      D Michael Eagar, who died in 2003, became deaf at the age of 21.
      E Beethoven produced his most wonderful works after he became deaf.
      F Solomon argues that Beethoven's deafness "heightened" his achievement as a composer.

    64._________
    A: make
    B: give
    C: have
    D: do

    答案:D
    解析:
    此处阐明作者的观点,只有view能代表对某方面的“见解”或“观点”,其他选项只是单纯的“想法”或是“决定”,不合题意。
    a number of是固定搭配,修饰可数名词,表示数量上“很多”。
    can’t afford to do sth.为惯用语,表示“负担不起……”。
    此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的out of搭配,out of reason意为“无理的,不合理的”,out of duty与out of task意思是“出于责任,任务的”,out of necessity“有必要,出于……的必要”,综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
    固定搭配he cut out for/be cutout to do sth.意为“适合于,天生就是做某事的料”, make out“理解,辫认出;亲热”,bring out“使显出;出版;生产”,只有B选项符合文意。
    it comes to sth.为惯用说法,在这里意思是“涉及”,整句说的是“当涉及儿童托管时,有许多方式可供选择”,referto意为“指……而言”。
    across the street意为“街对面”,其他选项的词搭配不当,故选C。
    前面说父母有很多选择。此处说很多父母根本没有选择的余地,可见空内应为转折词however。因此C项正确。
    no matter+疑问词,表示“无论……”,此句意为“不管你选的托管方式有多好,一些孩子被留下时,都会激烈杭议”。因此B项正确。
    perfectly normal为惯用说法,意思是“完全正常的”,其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错,但perfectly更好些。
    family members“家庭成员”,其他选项均不适合,C为正确答案。
    首先从逻辑上排除A和B选项,一定是留给孩子足够“多”的时间。C选项lots后面若能加上介词of则构成修饰可数名字的短语,lots of“许多的”,原文中被修饰词time 是不可数名词,只有D选项plenty of可以修饰不可数名词,表示“大量的”。
    四个选项中除了fond与of搭配,意为“喜欢”之外,其他的选项都可与to搭配,be used to sth./doing“习惯于(做)某事”,be attached to“依附于,依恋于”,be keen to do sth.“急切,渴望”,此处孩子要“依恋于”母亲,因此B选项正确。
    此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”,一般用do one's best for,而不用make one's best, 若想用give,则是give one's best to,因此只有D选项符合要求。
    上半句的quantity已经对此题的答案做出了暗示,一定是“质量”quality与“数量” quantity相对。

    问答题
    Test 14  People from different cultures keep different value systems and have different ways of looking at things. Failing to recognize these cultural differences will lead to misunderstanding.  Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:WAYS OF DEALING WITH CULTURAL DIFFERENCES  You are to write in three parts.  In the first part, state the necessity of dealing with the cultural differences.  In the second part, state specifically what your suggested ways are.  In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Different cultures have their own rules of behavior. People from different cultural backgrounds may have very different beliefs, religions, customs and habits. Ignorance of cultural differences often causes misunderstanding, offense, or embarrassment in cross-cultural communication. In order to avoid misunderstanding or giving unnecessary offense, we need to develop a cross-cultural perspective. Here are two basic ways to help deal with cultural differences:
    First of all, we must bear in mind that all cultures are equal, however different some cultures may seem from our own. Having a respect for other cultures is an effective way to promote international communication, since understanding can only be reached if we are willing to treat people from other cultures as equals. Second, we can avoid unintentionally offending others by learning the basic characteristics of other cultures. It is a good policy to ask your foreign friends or business associates about their everyday customs and let them know your customs as well.
    As China opens to the outside world, more and more people are involved in international business transactions or cultural exchanges in various areas. It is important that we improve our awareness of cultural differences so as to prepare ourselves for successful cross-cultural communication.

    Deaf and Hearing Loss

    People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are born deaf. They
    have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication一perhaps at a time when learn-
    ing is not all that easy.
    A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem.The sound perceived by the deaf person
    through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with
    normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
    Lip reading is difficult,demands intense concentration,and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's
    face.No other activities can take place at the same time:the lip reader has to stop eating,stop everything in
    order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper一as it sometimes appears to
    be一but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted.Remember what it's
    like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line.Frustrating,isn't it?The deaf have to face all the
    time.
    A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner一to treat them as if you
    were in a foreign country.You would speak more clearly,slowly and raise your voice slightly.And you'd
    use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be abso-
    lutely certain.You can do all those things with the deaf一as well as making sure you don't obscure your
    mouth with your hand,a pipe or a cigarette.
    Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may be quite efficient and useful in a quite
    carpeted room一but try it in the high street in the rush hour,in a noisy car,in a railway station ticket office,
    a cinema or a concert hail and you've got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech.So don't suggest
    to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse一and in-
    crease their sense of failure.
    On the other hand careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should
    experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing,fitting adaptors for radio and television,observing
    which friends are easier to understand,and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and
    positive activities.

    "Another point overlooked"suggests that something has been overlooked before this.Overlooking things like the fact that________.
    A:you can obscure your mouth with you hand when you speak to the deaf
    B:you have to be sensitive about the surroundings
    C:you have to depend on a hearing aid
    D:you have to speak clearly,slowly and loudly

    答案:D
    解析:
    由文章第二段可知,助听器并不能完全解决问题,因为声音通过助听器常常变调,另外 噪音很大,所以听觉差者还必须通过唇读理解别人的话。故选B。
    由文章第三段第三句话可知,听觉差的人为了唇读,不得不把手头的任何活动停止。 为了去注视说话人的嘴,而不得不停止任何活动,有时候看上去显得很愚蠢。故选A。
    由文章第四段可知,我们要像对待外国人那样对待耳聋者,说话时要清楚缓慢,稍微提 高声音,并且利用手势把意思表达清楚等等。第五段第一句说:另一点常被人忽视的是助听器 在安静的环境下可能很有用,但在嘈杂的环境下可能是另外一回事。"another point”显然是承 接上段的内容,故选D。
    文章第五段最后一句话说:不要建议或鼓励聋人去那些地方,使他们感觉到他们的缺 陷很严重——从而使他们有一种失败的感觉。故选D。
    本文的目的是告诉读者A项:怎样去帮助耳聋者。文章的前半部分提到耳聋者为了明 白别人的说话所面临的困难,后半部分讲了我们在和耳聋者相处时应该怎么做。文章的重点 在于强调后者,故选A。

    答案:B
    解析:
    此处阐明作者的观点,只有view能代表对某方面的“见解”或“观点”,其他选项只是单纯的“想法”或是“决定”,不合题意。
    a number of是固定搭配,修饰可数名词,表示数量上“很多”。
    can’t afford to do sth.为惯用语,表示“负担不起……”。
    此题四个选项在语法上都能与前面的out of搭配,out of reason意为“无理的,不合理的”,out of duty与out of task意思是“出于责任,任务的”,out of necessity“有必要,出于……的必要”,综合分析只有C选项填入此空较为合理。
    固定搭配he cut out for/be cutout to do sth.意为“适合于,天生就是做某事的料”, make out“理解,辫认出;亲热”,bring out“使显出;出版;生产”,只有B选项符合文意。
    it comes to sth.为惯用说法,在这里意思是“涉及”,整句说的是“当涉及儿童托管时,有许多方式可供选择”,referto意为“指……而言”。
    across the street意为“街对面”,其他选项的词搭配不当,故选C。
    前面说父母有很多选择。此处说很多父母根本没有选择的余地,可见空内应为转折词however。因此C项正确。
    no matter+疑问词,表示“无论……”,此句意为“不管你选的托管方式有多好,一些孩子被留下时,都会激烈杭议”。因此B项正确。
    perfectly normal为惯用说法,意思是“完全正常的”,其他选项虽说在语法上与逻辑上也不错,但perfectly更好些。
    family members“家庭成员”,其他选项均不适合,C为正确答案。
    首先从逻辑上排除A和B选项,一定是留给孩子足够“多”的时间。C选项lots后面若能加上介词of则构成修饰可数名字的短语,lots of“许多的”,原文中被修饰词time 是不可数名词,只有D选项plenty of可以修饰不可数名词,表示“大量的”。
    四个选项中除了fond与of搭配,意为“喜欢”之外,其他的选项都可与to搭配,be used to sth./doing“习惯于(做)某事”,be attached to“依附于,依恋于”,be keen to do sth.“急切,渴望”,此处孩子要“依恋于”母亲,因此B选项正确。
    此处意为“为你的孩子做到最好”,一般用do one's best for,而不用make one's best, 若想用give,则是give one's best to,因此只有D选项符合要求。
    上半句的quantity已经对此题的答案做出了暗示,一定是“质量”quality与“数量” quantity相对。

  • 第22题:

    单选题
    For a long time people believe that ______.
    A

    men and women have exactly the same brains in their heads

    B

    men and women have quite different brains in their heads

    C

    men are better at mathematics while women better at languages

    D

    men and women see the world around them in different ways


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    录音的开始便提到“They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn.”,意思是:人们通常认为男人和女人天生具有相同的思考能力和学习能力。而且在过去十年科学家们研究男人和女人之间的差别时,得出的结论是“men and women are different because their brains are different”(男人和女人是不同的,因他们的大脑是不同的),由此可以推断出长久以来或者说至少在过去十年内人们认为男人女人有相同的大脑。所以A项的表述符合原文意思。
