What if our babies could somehow tell us what they're thinking about,what they want,and what makes them unhappy?Robyn Holt,a researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand,says they can.Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop(研讨会).
“Sign language,is something that's always interested me,and I thought it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”
Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin,now 12,and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk.She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic,8,and Matthew,3.
Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice which is based on adult sign language has been out in America for more than 30 years.But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.
The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so.Although many mothers develop an intuition(直觉)about whether their baby's crying is from hunger,tiredness,or pain,baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the__mystery.
When babies are between 6 months and 12 to 13 months,parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding,and also talk about milk,so that the children begin to make the link(关联)in their brain.Then they can begin to add other signs,such as food,sick or pain.
“I know of one parent.Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth,and she realized his first teeth were growing.It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.
( )34.Holt went to the baby sign language workshop to ______.
A.entertain(使快乐)her own children B.better understand babies' needs
C.help babies with language problems D.develop a new system of sign language
( )35.According to the passage,baby sign language______.
A.has been used in New Zealand for 30 years B.can easily make the parents understood
C.has developed from adult sign language D.was designed by Robyn Holt
( )36.What does the underlined part “the__mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A.The ability to communicate. B.Mothers' intuitions.
C.The cause of the baby's crying. D.Baby sign language.
( )37.Holt showed that baby sign language is helpful by ______.
A.listing numbers B.giving examples
C.comparing the facts D.using famous sayings
C
Every boy wants to find treasure.And Tom was no different.One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.
“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.
“It's hidden on islands,under dead trees,but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的)houses.”
So one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill.It was a quiet and lonely house which made the boys feel very frightened.They entered quietly,and explored downstairs.There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken.Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs,but there was nothing there.They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
“What is it?” whispered Huck,going white with fright.
“Keep quiet!There's someone downstairs.”
The boys lay down,looking through the holes in the wooden floor.There were two men downstairs.One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe.He said,“It's time for us to move,partner.What will we do with the $650 from the robbery(抢劫)?”
“Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone.Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fear when they saw real treasure downstairs.
Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
“What is it?” asked the other man.
“It's a box,” said Indian Joe.And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.The other man found the boys' tools,and they soon pulled out the box.
“There are thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe.
“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner.
“They must have hidden their money here.”
“What will we do with this,Joe?Will we bury(埋)it again?”
“No,someone might find it,” said Indian Joe.“Let's bury it in the number two den.”
Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left.They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.
( )38.The underlined word “He” refers to ______.
A.Tom B.Huck C.Indian Joe D.The dirty man
( )39.Where was the bag of money probably from
A.The two men robbed others of it. B.Some villagers hid it there.
C.The owner of the house left it there. D.Tom and Huck buried it there.
( )40.Which is the correct order of what happened in the story
a.The two boys threw their tools in a corner. b.The dirty man lifted out a bag full of money.
c.Tom and Huck went to look for treasure one day. d.Indian Joe found a box full of gold coins.
e.The Murrell Gang hid their money in the house.
A.c-a-b-d-e B.c-d-b-e-a
C.e-c-a-d-b D.e-c-a-b-d
( )41.We can infer from the story that ______.
A.the real treasure was $650 in the bag B.the man in the sombrero was Indian Joe
C.Tom would join Indian Joe and be a robber D.Tom and Huck would try to get the treasure

For years,people have believed that an area of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda,Puerto Rico and Florida,the US was a dangerous place.They thought planes and boats passing through here were likely to disappear.By 1964,a writer had called the area the “Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)”.The name stuck,and so did the mystery.
In 1945,five US Navy planes,called Flight 19 took off from Florida and never came back.After they disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle,different ideas had begun to spread that the area was a dangerous place.Even before this famous flight,several ships had disappeared in these waters.People had many different ideas about why this happened.Some people even believed that a huge octopus(章鱼)was responsible!
However,scientists believe that weather is a part of the problem.Unusually shaped clouds above the area create strong winds that go down into the water,creating huge tsunami(海啸)waves that can take down boats or low flying planes.And many researchers believe that there's no mystery at all.Ship goes down and plane accidents happen all over the world.It just seems to happen more in the Bermuda Triangle because there's more traffic.
The Bermuda Triangle is also one of the deepest areas of the Atlantic,with some areas being 8 km deep.So remains are hard to find,which makes the disappearances seem even more mysterious.
In 2011,the Flight 19 planes were found,showing that they didn't completely disappear.But no matter how much evidence there is that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other part of the ocean,many still believe that you mustn't go there.
( )42.The third paragraph mainly talks about the ______ of the accidents in the area.
A.disadvantages B.Facts C.causes D.results
( )43.It is hard to find the remains in the Bermuda Triangle because ______.
A.it's too deep B.the water runs too quickly
C.they completely disappeared D.there are dangerous animals
( )44.The writer writes the passage mainly to ______.
A.introduce the Bermuda Triangle to people B.tell people the history of the Bermuda Triangle
C.encourage people to visit the Bermuda Triangle D.show people how to pass the Bermuda Triangle safely
( )45.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage
A.The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the Pacific Ocean.
B.People had many different ideas about what caused the disappearances.
C.Evidence shows that the Bermuda Triangle is the most dangerous area in the world.
D.By the time Flight 19 disappeared,the area had already been called the “Bermuda Triangle”.

What if our babies could somehow tell us what they're thinking about,what they want,and what makes them unhappy?Robyn Holt,a researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand,says they can.Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop(研讨会).
“Sign language,is something that's always interested me,and I thought it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”
Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin,now 12,and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk.She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic,8,and Matthew,3.
Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice which is based on adult sign language has been out in America for more than 30 years.But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.
The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so.Although many mothers develop an intuition(直觉)about whether their baby's crying is from hunger,tiredness,or pain,baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the__mystery.
When babies are between 6 months and 12 to 13 months,parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding,and also talk about milk,so that the children begin to make the link(关联)in their brain.Then they can begin to add other signs,such as food,sick or pain.
“I know of one parent.Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth,and she realized his first teeth were growing.It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.
( B )34.Holt went to the baby sign language workshop to ______.
A.entertain(使快乐)her own children B.better understand babies' needs
C.help babies with language problems D.develop a new system of sign language
( C )35.According to the passage,baby sign language______.
A.has been used in New Zealand for 30 years B.can easily make the parents understood
C.has developed from adult sign language D.was designed by Robyn Holt
( C )36.What does the underlined part “the__mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A.The ability to communicate. B.Mothers' intuitions.
C.The cause of the baby's crying. D.Baby sign language.
( B )37.Holt showed that baby sign language is helpful by ______.
A.listing numbers B.giving examples
C.comparing the facts D.using famous sayings

Every boy wants to find treasure.And Tom was no different.One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.
“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.
“It's hidden on islands,under dead trees,but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的)houses.”
So one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill.It was a quiet and lonely house which made the boys feel very frightened.They entered quietly,and explored downstairs.There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken.Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs,but there was nothing there.They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.
“What is it?” whispered Huck,going white with fright.
“Keep quiet!There's someone downstairs.”
The boys lay down,looking through the holes in the wooden floor.There were two men downstairs.One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant looking.
Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe.He said,“It's time for us to move,partner.What will we do with the $650 from the robbery(抢劫)?”
“Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”
The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone.Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fear when they saw real treasure downstairs.
Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.
“What is it?” asked the other man.
“It's a box,” said Indian Joe.And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.The other man found the boys' tools,and they soon pulled out the box.
“There are thousands of dollars in there,” said Indian Joe.
“The Murrell Gang used this area one summer,” said his partner.
“They must have hidden their money here.”
“What will we do with this,Joe?Will we bury(埋)it again?”
“No,someone might find it,” said Indian Joe.“Let's bury it in the number two den.”
Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left.They decided to watch out for the “man in the sombrero” when he came to town and find out where the number two den was.

For years,people have believed that an area of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda,Puerto Rico and Florida,the US was a dangerous place.They thought planes and boats passing through here were likely to disappear.By 1964,a writer had called the area the “Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)”.The name stuck,and so did the mystery.
In 1945,five US Navy planes,called Flight 19 took off from Florida and never came back.After they disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle,different ideas had begun to spread that the area was a dangerous place.Even before this famous flight,several ships had disappeared in these waters.People had many different ideas about why this happened.Some people even believed that a huge octopus(章鱼)was responsible!
However,scientists believe that weather is a part of the problem.Unusually shaped clouds above the area create strong winds that go down into the water,creating huge tsunami(海啸)waves that can take down boats or low flying planes.And many researchers believe that there's no mystery at all.Ship goes down and plane accidents happen all over the world.It just seems to happen more in the Bermuda Triangle because there's more traffic.
The Bermuda Triangle is also one of the deepest areas of the Atlantic,with some areas being 8 km deep.So remains are hard to find,which makes the disappearances seem even more mysterious.
In 2011,the Flight 19 planes were found,showing that they didn't completely disappear.But no matter how much evidence there is that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other part of the ocean,many still believe that you mustn't go there.
( C )42.The third paragraph mainly talks about the ______ of the accidents in the area.
A.disadvantages B.Facts C.causes D.results
( A )43.It is hard to find the remains in the Bermuda Triangle because ______.
A.it's too deep B.the water runs too quickly
C.they completely disappeared D.there are dangerous animals
( A )44.The writer writes the passage mainly to ______.
A.introduce the Bermuda Triangle to people B.tell people the history of the Bermuda Triangle
C.encourage people to visit the Bermuda Triangle D.show people how to pass the Bermuda Triangle safely
( B )45.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage
A.The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the Pacific Ocean.
B.People had many different ideas about what caused the disappearances.
C.Evidence shows that the Bermuda Triangle is the most dangerous area in the world.
D.By the time Flight 19 disappeared,the area had already been called the “Bermuda Triangle”.
