12、Children first begin to make language-like noises when they are between two and four months old. These noises generally begin with the letters g and k and because these sounds goo and kooare the easiest sounds for infant mouths to make. Between four months and eight months, infants begin to babble m

13、eaningless syllables. Most common are those beginning with p, b, d, m, or n sounds, followed by a vowel sound. Parents sometimes misinterpret these as actual words, such as mama or dada.

14、a few words a month, but once a child has learned about fifty wordsgenerally around 18 monthsthe pace picks up rapidly. At first, children say single words; then they begin forming two-word combinations: all gone more milk see doggie. Childrens two word combinations are so similar to the world over

15、that they read like translations of one another. Between the age of two and three, children can form complete sentences and have mastered the basis of grammar. Can you believe it?

40、SWER SHEET. Some doctors are taking an unusual new approach to communicate better with patientsthey are letting 1 read the notes that physicians normally share only with each other. After meeting with patients, doctors typically jot 2 notes on a range of topics, from musings about possible diagnoses

41、 to observations about 3 a patient is getting along with a spouse. The notes are used to justify the bill, and may be audited. But the main idea is to have a written record 4 insights into the patients condition for the next visit or for other doctors to see. A study currently under way, 5 the Open

42、Notes project, is looking at what happens 6 doctors-notes become available for a patient to read, usually 7 electronic medical records.

45、 to improve doctor-patient communication, in part 15 studies show it can result in better patient outcomes. The introduction of electronic medical records in recent years has helped to achieve that. 1.答案:them解析 这句话表达的意思是“有些医生正在采取一种不同寻常的新方法以达到与患者更好沟通的目的。他们会让患者读医生们通常只与同事分享的笔记。”这里缺少宾语，应用“them”指代前面提及的“p

46、atients”。参考译文 有些医生正在采取一种不同寻常的新方法以达到与患者更好沟通的目的。他们会让患者读医生们通常只与同事分享的笔记。 当患者检查完身体，医生会在笔记上记录下一个主题范围，其范围涵盖从大致的诊断到观察患者与配偶如何相处。笔记被用来证实那些想法，也可能会被审核。但记笔记的主要目的还是为患者复诊或者是为其他给他们看病的医生提供方便。 最近，一个被称为Open Notes的项目一直在观察当患者看医生记录的笔记(通常是在电子病历上的记录中)时会发生什么。在研究早期阶段的一个报告(于星期二刊登在内科医学年鉴上)中，研究人员表示，邀请病人审查记录可以更进一步提高他们对自己键康状况的了解，

47、让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗。 但同时，研究人员也提出了可能出现的负面影响：如果医生写下类似癌症或者是心脏病的字眼，他们的病人会产生恐惧，进而带来如洪水般涌来的电话和电子邮件。医生们也表示，他们担心病人会误解一些专业术语。例如，“病人出现了SOB”是指气短，而是不代表贬义的意思。“OD”是oculus clexter(右眼)的缩写形式，即指右眼，而不代表药剂过量。 医疗机构已努力改善医患沟通，一部分原因是因为有研究表明，它可能会有利于提高患者治疗效果。近年来，电子病历的引入也为实现这个目标做出了贡献。 2.答案:down解析 “jot down”为固定搭配，意为“记下，写下”。3.答案:how解

48、析 这句话的意思是“当患者检查完身体，医生会在笔记上记录下一个主题范围，其范围涵盖从大致的诊断到与配偶如何相处。”根据句意，可知该空应填一个表示程度的副词“how”。4.答案:with解析 “a written record with insights into the patients condition”意思是“一份可以洞察病人病情的手写记录”，“with”在这里表示具有某种特性。5.答案:called解析 “called”意为“被称作”，这句话句意为“最近，一个被称为Open Notes的项目致力于发现。当患者在看医生记录的笔记(通常笔记是在电子病历上)时会发生什么。”6.答案:when

49、解析 “when”在这里作时间状语，“当时候”。7.答案:on解析 这句话的意思为“在电子病历上的记录中”，根据后面的records可知，此处应用介词“on”。on record意为“有记载的，记录在案的”。8.答案:records解析 这句话意思为“研究人员表示，邀请病人审查记录可以提高他们对自己健康状况的理解，让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗。”根据句意，可知该空应为文中前一句提到的“records”。9.答案:more解析 “more closely”意为“更进一步地”。这句话意思为“邀请病人审查记录可以更进一步提高他们对自己健康状况的理解，让他们严格按照要求坚持治疗”。10.答案:in解析

50、“speculate in”为固定搭配，意为“推测”。11.答案:wrong解析 这句话的意思为“医生们也表示，他们担心病人会误解一些专业术语”，病人误解了专业术语，即以一种“错误”的方式理解。12.答案:the解析 “the”在这里是特指，“the phrase”即指代后面的“the patient appears SOB”。13.答案:refers解析 “refer to”为固定搭配，意为“涉及，提及”。这里的时态应该是一般现在时，主语是the phrase，故要用refer的第三人称单数。14.答案:not解析 这句话意思为“OD是oculus dexter(右眼)的缩写形式，即指右眼，

51、而不代表药剂过量。”由此可知，该空填not。15.答案:because解析 这句话意思为“医疗机构已努力改善医患沟通，一部分原因是因为有研究表明，它可能会有利于提高患者治疗效果。”根据因果关系，可推测出填“because”。Part BDirections: Read the following three texts.
