英语问题69
Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops.New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.Kristy vanMarle,professor of the University of Missouri,has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown,infants(婴儿)are able to quantify substances(物质)—like sand or water—as early as 10 months.As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough,infants will choose the larger amount,especially when it comes to food.With the assistance of her team researchers,vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups:one containing a small amount of food,and one containing a larger amount.Consistently,the babies chose the larger amount.“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however,infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said.“What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances; it’s just much harder.The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories.They decide which amount is larger,and they almost always select the larger one.” This information further refutes(驳斥)the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said.“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures,we’ve discovered a lot of early abilities.I think for parents,it should be exciting to know that there’s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world,and that knowledge is guiding their development,” vanMarle said.In the future,vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child’s progress in math-related skills,although programs marketed to increase those abilities,such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.
69.We can learn from the text that_____ .
A.some parents don’t care about their kids
B.people used to think the world is known to babies
C.little research has been done on infants
D.scholars disagree on baby-training programs
不选B,D从哪里看出来?
1.从下面这句话得出:This information further refutes(驳斥)the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said.
实验证明了婴儿是有能力判断数量多少的,即使是10个月大的婴儿.这一结论推翻了长期以来人们的观念,即:婴儿对世界是一无所知的.所以B错误.
2.最后一句话暗示了D是对的:
In the future,vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child’s progress in math-related skills,although programs marketed to increase those abilities,such as “Baby Einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.
Vanmarle说,尽管在学术研究方面 旨在增强这些能力的项目如“小小爱因斯坦”受到(学者们)不同的评论,将来这类研究仍会和孩子的数学技能联系起来.
