They often behave in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests. Autism is more common in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences. Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age .“At six months of age, the signs of some risk of developing communication and social delays, including autism, include motor delays. For instance，when you lay your babies on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position, their head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. It does not mean that the baby is going to have autism ，but it does mean that the baby needs to have some exercises to strengthen his body. And when the babies strengthen their body，they are better able to play with toys and engage with people, which then go on to help them have better outcomes. By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam. “Its important for parents to stay tuned in to their childrens development, and if a parent is concerned about a childs development, seek for professionals, and listen to them. ” The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin doing simple things that may help improve their childs development, such as talking to the child about what they are doing, commenting when the child shows them something, and playing simple games that keep the childs attention.24. Whats the best title tor the passage?A. How to Confirm a Diagnosis of AutismB. Children with Autism Have Difficulty with CommuncationC. Ways to Help Children with Autism to RecoverD.

Landa tried to find out autism earlier by comparing the differences as the baby grows up. D. Now doctors can confirm diagnosis of autism betore a child is about three years old.26. When a baby with signs of possible autism is a year and two months old, he or she may_.A. show great interest in learning B. express less when communicating with othersC. like reaching out to other people D. have difficulty in raising his or her head27.What should the parents do when their child is diagnosed with autism?A. Send the child to the hospital at once.B. Spend more time talking with the child.C. Find a special school for children with autism.D. Encourage the child to play games online.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They were large in number. B. They developed very fast.C. They had similar patterns. D.They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. ModernD.Powerful.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 1,200. B.About 2,400.C.About 3,400 D. About 6,800.31. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. Human development results in fewer languages. C. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages. D. Geography determines language evolution.DReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.32 Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A To explain what they are. BTo encourage readers to share their ideas. C To stress the importance of reading. DTo introduce BookCrossing. 33 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?AA public place.B An adventure. CThe bookD The identification number.34 What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A Meet other readers to discuss it.B Keep it safe in his bookcase. CMail it back to its owner.DPass it on to another reader.35 What is the best title for the text?AA Website Links People through Books B Electronic Books: A new Trend C A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D0nline Reading: A Virtual Tour 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why cant they find a cure tor the common cold? The answer is easy. 36 You never know which one you will get, so there isnt a cure for each one. 37 Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you cant breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. 38 You may feel very uncomtortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. 39 There is one interesting thing to note-some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesnt have a way to fight it and kill it. 40 There is a joke, however ,on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you dont take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.A.
