(2016·哈尔滨市第三中学一模)Babies
don't
learn
to
talk
just
from
hearing
sounds.
They
are
lip readers
too.
It
happens
during
the
stage
when
a
baby's
babbling
(咿呀声)
gradually
changes
from
unclear
voices
into
that
first
“mama”
or
“dada”.
The
baby
in
order
to
do
like
you
has
to
figure
out
how
to
shape
their
lips
to
make
that
particular
sound
they
are
hearing,
according
to
developmental
psychologist
David
Lewkowicz
of
Florida
Atlantic
University,
who
led
the
study.
Apparently
it
doesn't
take
them
too
long
to
absorb
the
movements
that
match
basic
sounds.
By
their
first
birthdays,
babies
start
changing
back
to
look
you
in
the
eye
again.
It
offers
more
evidence
that
quality
face time
with
babies
is
very
important
for
speech
development
more
than,
say,
turning
on
the
latest
baby
DVD.
But
Lewkowicz
went
a
step
further.
He
and
his
student
Amy
Hansen Tift
tested
nearly
180
babies,
groups
of
them
at
ages
4,6,8,10
and
12
months.
How
They
showed
videos
of
a
woman
speaking
in
English
or
Spanish
to
babies
of
English
speakers.
They
found
that
when
the
speaker
used
English,
the
4 month olds
gazed
mostly
into
her
eyes.
The
6 month olds
spent
equal
amounts
of
time
looking
at
the
eyes
and
the
mouth.
The
8 and
10 month olds
studied
mostly
the
mouth.
At
12
months,
attention
started
changing
back
toward
the
speaker's
eyes.
But
what
happened
when
these
babies
accustomed
to
English
heard
Spanish
The
12 month olds
studied
the
mouth
longer,
just
like
younger
babies.
They
needed
the
extra
information
to
recognize
the
unfamiliar
sounds.
That
fits
with
research
into
bilingualism
(双语)
that
shows
babies'
brains
adjust
themselves
to
distinguishing
the
sounds
of
their
native
language
over
other
languages
in
the
first
year
of
life.
The
continued
lip reading
shows
the
1 year olds
clearly
still
are
fit
for
learning.
Babies
are
so
hard
to
study
that
this
is
“a
fairly
heroic
data
set”，
says
Duke
University
cognitive
neuroscientist
Greg
Appelbaum,
who
found
the
research
so
fascinating
that
he
wants
to
know
more.

(2016·烟台二中高三期中考试)
“Made
in
China”
has
Changed
Many
shoppers
in
the
West
still
prize
labels,
boasting
(吹嘘)
a
product
was
made
in
Italy
without
knowing
that
a
growing
number
of
Italian
products
come
from
factories
that
are
Chinese owned
and
staffed.
The
products
which
were
marked
“Made
in
China”
gave
the
buyer
an
impression
of
“low
pride
and
low
cost,
low
technology
and
development”.
The
statement
used
to
be
true,
but
now
it
has
changed.
“Made
in
China”
is
becoming
a
leading
part
in
the
world
market.
China's
garment
industry
(制衣业)
has
been
investing
in
producing
technology
and
training
for
decades,
and
its
workforce
has
collectively
gotten
better
at
sewing
garments.
As
a
result,
the
quality
of
Chinese made
clothes
is
rising
fast.
It
has
been
home
to
a
highly skilled,
highly specialized
garment
industry,
one
that
supplies
even
some
high end
(高端的)
labels
and
offers
the
best
mix
of
price,
speed,
and
quality.
“If
I
was
to
make
a
basic
men's
jean,
I'd
make
that
in
Pakistan，”
said
Edward
Hertzman,
co owner
of
the
trade
publication
Sourcing
Journal.
“If
I
was
going
to
make
a
fashionable
women's
garment,
I
would
move
to
China
because
their
skill
set
is
better,
their
hand
is
better,
their
finishing
is
better,
and
they
can
handle
that
type
of
fashion.”
Indeed,
luxury
fashion
labels
now
routinely
make
things
in
China.
Burberry,
Armani,
and
Prada
have
all
produced
things
there,
because
they're
still
able
to
get
good
workmanship
at
a
relatively
low
price.
Even
the
Japanese
brand
Visvim,
known
for
its
crazy
attention
to
detail,
also
produces
high end,
handmade
footwear
in
China.
Despite
the
rising
wages
and
costs
of
doing
business
in
China,
companies
have
not
walked
away.
“China
is
viewed
by
people
who
make
buying
decisions
as
unique
and
hard
to
copy
elsewhere，”
says
Josh
Green,
CEO
of
Panjiva.
语篇解读：本文是议论文。文章讨论了“中国制造”发生的变化。中国制造从过去的低端、廉价、质量不高正逐渐向现在的高端、价高、质优上转变。
5．Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true
about
“Made
in
China”？
A．It
used
to
be
associated
with
poor
quality.
B．It
has
lost
its
leading
status
in
the
world
market.
C．Its
products
are
recognized
by
luxury
fashion
brands.
D．It
reflects
China's
investment
in
producing
technology.
解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知中国制造现在在世界上正占据着主导地位。故选B。
6．Edward
Hertzman
thinks
highly
of
“Made
in
China”
in
such
aspects
as
________.
①workers'
skills　②low
prices　③advanced
technology　④a
sense
of
fashion
A．①②③　　　　　　
B．①②④
C．②③④
D．①③④
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段可知Edward
Hertzman认为中国制造的优势在于技术娴熟、专业、时尚，中国制造已不是低廉的代名词。
7．What
is
the
similarity
between
Prada
and
Visvim
A．Both
of
them
are
from
Japan.
B．Neither
of
them
sells
at
a
low
price.
C．They
both
make
products
in
China.
D．They
both
produce
handmade
footwear.
解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段可知这两种牌子现在都在中国制造产品。
8．What
can
be
learned
from
the
last
paragraph
A．Doing
business
in
China
costs
a
lot
more
now.
B．Chinese
companies
are
more
creative
than
others.
C．Foreign
producers
want
to
copy
China's
success.
D．Rising
costs
stop
the
interest
of
foreign
companies.
解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知现在中国的工资上涨、制造成本增加，这说明，现在在中国做生意成本更高了。
C
(2016·太原市第二学段测评)The
saying
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
is
an
English
idiom
simply
asking
people
to
volunteer
their
opinions
on
an
issue
being
discussed.
In
modern
usage,
it
is
often
stated
as
an
indirect
way
of
asking
what
someone
is
thinking
about.
This
phrase
is
basically
a
proposal
(提议),
and
the
speaker
is
offering
to
pay
to
hear
the
listener's
thoughts.
It
is
an
idiom,
of
course,
and
not
meant
literally
(字面上地)
so
no
real
payment
generally
takes
place.
When
the
saying
originated,
a
penny
was
worth
a
lot
more
than
it
is
in
the
21st
century.Therefore,
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
likely
indicated
the
thoughts
were
more
valuable
to
those
asking
the
listener
for
them
than
they
are
by
today's
standards.
This
loss
of
value
can
be
used
ironically
(讽刺地),
however,
through
tone
(语气)
of
voice;
it
can
be
used
to
indicate
that
someone's
idea
is
bad
or
worth
a
penny
in
modern
value.
The
phrase
is
generally
credited
to
a
man
by
the
name
of
John
Heywood,
who
was
born
sometime
just
before
the
16th
century.
During
his
life,
he
was
a
writer
who
penned
many
plays
and
a
book
in
1546,
later
known
as
The
Proverbs
of
John
Heywood.
It
is
likely
that
Heywood
did
not
actually
come
up
with
the
phrase
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”.
Rather,
he
was
simply
the
first
person
to
have
set
the
phrase
down
in
written
form.
The
actual
origins
of
the
term
are
unknown,
and
since
his
book
was
simply
a
collection
of
common
idioms
and
expressions,
it
was
probably
familiar
to
people
in
the
mid
1500s.
Another
phrase
similar
to
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”is
offering
“your
two
cents”
after
making
a
statement.
Someone
might
give
his
or
her
opinion
and
then
say,
“that's
my
two
cents，”
to
indicate
the
value
of
his
or
her
idea.
While,
much
like
a
penny,
“two
cents”
is
relatively
low
in
value
now,
it
would
have
been
more
valuable
at
one
time
and
the
expression
is
used
in
much
the
same
way.

9．When
someone
says
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”，
he
or
she________.
A．wants
to
ask
you
for
advice
B．considers
your
thoughts
unique
C．is
curious
about
what's
on
your
mind
D．will
pay
for
what
you're

about

people
to
volunteer
their
opinions
on
an
issue
being
discussed”和“asking
what
someone
is
thinking
about”可知答案。
10．The
modern
meaning
of
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
________.
A．is
more
closely
connected
to
the
value
of
the
penny
B．can
differ
greatly
according
to
a
speaker's
tone
of
voice
C．can
confuse
the
listener
easily
D．is
more
popularly
accepted
解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，由于便士的价值在古代和现在相差甚远，因此现在也可以用“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”来表达对方的主意一文不值，也就是说，根据说话人的语气，这个习语的意思大相径庭。
11．In
what
way
is
Heywood
related
to
the
phrase
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”？
A．He
came
up
with
it
while
he
was
writing.
B．He
helped
to
explain
the
origins
of
it.
C．He
contributed
to
the
wide
use
of
it.
D．He
was
the
first
person
to
use
it.
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“he
was
simply
the
first
person
to
have
set
the
phrase
down
in
written
form”和“his
book
was
simply
a
collection
of
common
idioms
...the
mid
1500s”可推测，Heywood
由于将“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”这个习语编写到自己关于常用习语和表达的书籍中，从而使得这个习语被人们所熟知。因此，他间接推广了这个习语的应用。
12．What
do
we
know
about
the
phrase
“your
two
cents”？
A．It
is
usually
used
at
the
end
of
a
statement.

comes
from
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”．
C．It
has
witnessed
some
changes
since
the
16th
century.
D．It
is
more
familiar
to
people
than
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”．
解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“offering
‘your
two
cents’
after
making
a
statement”可知答案。
