As for how the insects got there, some doctors thought they entered her body through the ears.Last week, the girl, known only as Ashw

12、ini, started complaining of severe pain in her eyes. She told her parents that she felt there was something stuck in her eyes, and when they checked, they did find a small ant in one of her eyes. They didnt pay much importance to it, as they assumed the insect had gotten there by accident, but it wa

13、snt long before the girl again started reporting pain in her eyes. They discovered more dead ants, and this time, they took her to hospital.A local doctor told Ashwinis parents that the insects must have first entered her body through the ears and then somehow made their way to her eyes. He gave her

14、 some eye-drops to help with the irritation（刺激）, but the girl still has 5 to 6 ants pulled from her eyes daily. A week ago, the Daily Mail reported that Ashwinis eyes produced around 60 dead ants in a period of 10 days.As doctors in Belthangady were left scratching their heads about how the ants rea

15、ched Ashwinis eyes or what they could do to stop the unusual phenomenon, she was taken to an eye hospital in Moodabidri, where her family hope to get some answers.IB Times reports that Ashwinis parents feared she had been affected by some evil spirit, so they also took her to an astrologer（占星家） who

16、told them that the ants in the eyes were caused by something called Naga Dosha. But who knows?1、Why did Ashwini recently make news headlines?ABecause of her love for insects.

19、 can damage your health,and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.Sleep might be one answer to the problem.A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds. Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less

20、 and weighing more,but scientists have had a tough time determining which came first,the chicken or the egg, says Julie CLumeng of the university of Michigan in Ann Arbor.In other words,it hasnt been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping,or whether sleeping less leads to weight

21、 gain.Both scenarios (可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which,Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States.The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.Three years later,the parent

22、s answered the same questions.By sixth grade ,18percent of kids involved in the study were obese.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students race or gender.It also didnt matter how strict their parents were,or whether they were boys orgirls.Obesity struck all of these groups

23、 equally.Instead,sleep seemed to be the key factor.Over the three years of study,the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleepa night.Some kids,however,slept a lot moreor less than others.For the sixth graders,every hour of sleep above the 9.5houraverage was linked toa 20 percent lower risk of

24、being obese.Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders.Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.1、What does the underlined sentence on paragraph 2 imply?AScientists have found the exact causes of childrens obesity.BThere is always something difficult t

25、o understand through theoryCThe causeeffect relationship between weight and sleep isnt clear.DA persons weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.2、What did the interview find out?A9.5 hours of sleep a night is enough for children.BThe more a child sleeps,the healthier he will be.CSixt

28、 for her to read.

37、bition will include discussions about modern chemistry24（8分） Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it becomes enormously difficul

38、t to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant noisesthe phonemes (音

39、素) of a languageeach cover a range of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages.But where do these phonemes come from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world m

40、ay be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected. Wed rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.Hunter gatherer languages very seldom use the sounds known as labiodentals (唇齿音)those such a

41、s f and vthat are made by touching the lower lip with the upper teeth. Only two of the hundreds of Australian aboriginal languages use them, for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (辅音) are much more common. The argument goes that farmers eat more cooked food and

42、more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lower jaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the labiodental consonan

43、ts instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f come to take the place of p. Romans said “pater” but English speakers (unless theyre ReesMoggs) say “father”.Beyond these particular changes, the story highlights the way in which everything distinctively human is both material and spiritu

44、al: speech must combine sound and meaning, and the meaning can t exist or be transmitted without a real object. But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in tu

45、rn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very d

46、ifferent from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味觉).1、Compared with adults, babies could more easily .Acreate significant noisesBclassify the forms of noisesCunderstand the Greek languag

47、eDdistinguish meaningful sounds2、According to the passage, which of the following factors help shape language?ALips and teeth.BJobs and habits.CAge and regions.DFood and thinking.3、The reason for farmers making sounds of “f” and “v” is .Aenjoying more cooked foodsBbiting more with front teethCconsta

48、ntly chewing harder foodsDgrowing up with lager lower jaws4、By writing this passage, the author intends to reveal .Ajaws help shape our thoughtBfood determines our thoughtCdiet has some influence on languageDlanguage consists of sound and meaning25（10分）One morning more than thirty years ago, I enter
