　　A

　　A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all，the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world，and the baby is，well, just playing...right？Perhaps，but some developmental psychologists (心理學(xué)家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.

　　Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table.Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge，it falls to the ground—and，in the process，it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact (相互作用)：bowls of rice do not float in mid-air，but require support to remain stable.It is likely that babies are not born knowing this basic fact of the universe；nor are they ever clearly taught it.Instead，babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ，the baby's investigation and the scientist's experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world)，overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world)，and logic (are my observations what I expected？)．

　　Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means.For example，it may only be through repeated experiments，evidence gathering，and finally overturning a theory，that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has，for example，unlike the child，Mommy actually doesn't like Dove chocolate.

　　Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn，but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists.Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike？Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore，explain，and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood.Perhaps evolution (進(jìn)化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds，and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children.The same cognitive (認(rèn)知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists.As some psychologists put it，“It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇議論文。作者提出自己的觀點(diǎn)：六個(gè)月大的嬰兒不斷把碗從桌子邊上推下去的這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的游戲動(dòng)作，其實(shí)包含著很深刻的道理，它與科學(xué)家做實(shí)驗(yàn)有很多相似之處。我們追求科學(xué)的態(tài)度其實(shí)源于我們的兒童時(shí)代。

　　1．解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干中的developmental psychologists定位到第一段的最后一句，心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為這種玩耍比我們所認(rèn)為的更像一種科學(xué)調(diào)查，這與D項(xiàng)“嬰兒的玩耍在某種程度上類(lèi)似于科學(xué)家的實(shí)驗(yàn)”意義一致，故選D項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)“嬰兒的玩耍僅僅是一種游戲”，與文意相悖，可排除；B項(xiàng)“對(duì)嬰兒游戲的科學(xué)研究是可行的”及C項(xiàng)“嬰兒玩耍的本質(zhì)已被徹底調(diào)查清楚”，文章并未提到。

　　答案：D　

　　2．解析：推理判斷題。第二段詳細(xì)講述嬰兒把碗推到桌子邊上掉下去的過(guò)程，然后說(shuō)，這個(gè)游戲與科學(xué)家做實(shí)驗(yàn)有相同之處：目標(biāo)相同，方式相同，邏輯推理相同，因此選D項(xiàng)“嬰兒與科學(xué)家搜集證據(jù)的方式相似”。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在differently；文中提到how physical objects interact(物體之間是如何相互作用的)，而不是科學(xué)家和嬰兒之間是如何相互作用的，故排除B項(xiàng)；C項(xiàng)與文中的babies are not born knowing this basic fact相矛盾，可排除。

　　答案：D　

　　3．解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干中the rules of language定位到文章第三段。該段講嬰兒通過(guò)重復(fù)的實(shí)驗(yàn)(repeated experiments)等來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)，故選C項(xiàng)“重復(fù)他們自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)”。除了repeated experiments，文章還提到了evidence gathering，overturning a theory，而未提及A、B、D三項(xiàng)，故可排除。

　　答案：C　

　　4．解析：主旨大意題。最后一段談到要從科學(xué)研究的角度看待兒童的發(fā)展，說(shuō)我們追求科學(xué)的態(tài)度其實(shí)源于我們的兒童時(shí)代。由此推斷，該段的主旨是B項(xiàng)“研究嬰兒的游戲或許有助于更好地理解科學(xué)”。其他三項(xiàng)并非本段主旨，均可排除。

　　答案：B　

　　5．解析：觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。作者在討論科學(xué)研究和嬰兒玩耍的關(guān)系時(shí)，采取了謹(jǐn)慎的(cautious)態(tài)度，這由行文中頻繁出現(xiàn)的might，perhaps，appear to等可推測(cè)得知。convincing令人信服的；confused困惑的，糊涂的；confident確信的。

　　答案：D　

　　B

　　Two things changed my life：my mother and a white plastic bike basket.I have thought long and hard about it and it's true.I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.

　　My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out.Looking back，I honestly don't know how she did it.Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task，but she made it look effortless.If we complained about not having what another kid did，we'd hear something like，“I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet-16 party.”We had to earn our allowance (零用錢(qián)) by doing chores around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.Like the two little girls growing up at the White House，we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced.

　　It was summer and，one day，my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window.White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.

　　“It's beautiful，” my mother said when I pointed it out to her.“What a neat basket.”

　　I tried to hold off at first.I played it cool for a short while.But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer：“Mom，please can I please，please get it？I'll do extra chores for as long as you say.I'll do anything，but I need that basket.I love that basket.Please，Mom.Please？”

　　I was desperate.

　　“You know，”she said，gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever，“If you save up you could buy this yourself.”

　　“By the time I make enough it'll be gone！”

　　“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，”she smiled at Roger，the bike guy.

　　“He can't hold it for that long，Mom.Someone else will buy it.Please，Mom，please？”

　　“There might be another way，”she said.

　　And so our paying plan unfolded.My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn't find.Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car，helping my mother make dinner，delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front)．And then，weeks later，I counted，re-counted and jumped for joy.Oh，happy day！I made it！I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon. ...

　　Days later the unthinkable happened.A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny，new bike that already had all the bells and whistles.I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster.This horrible turn of events.

　　And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life：“Honey，your basket is extra-special，”Mom said，gently wiping away my hot tears.“Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇記敘文。作者講述媽媽通過(guò)一件事給作者的教誨：作者看中了一款塑料的自行車(chē)籃，媽媽讓作者通過(guò)自己的勞動(dòng)賺錢(qián)去買(mǎi)。等作者終于擁有了這個(gè)車(chē)籃時(shí)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)鄰家女孩的自行車(chē)上也有了一樣的，其他的裝備還更齊全，這讓作者傷心不已。媽媽告訴她，自己付出勞動(dòng)換來(lái)的果實(shí)更甜。

　　6．解析：推理判斷題。通過(guò)第一段的Two things changed my life: my mother...以及第二段的We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house.以及下面的舉例可知，媽媽改變了“我”的生活。我們必須通過(guò)干家務(wù)來(lái)賺零用錢(qián)，通過(guò)這些可以看出，媽媽養(yǎng)育孩子的方式是不同尋常的(unusual)，故選C項(xiàng)。A、B、D三項(xiàng)在文中未提及。

　　答案：C　

　　7．解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干的“當(dāng)作者看到櫥窗里的車(chē)籃時(shí)”將答案鎖定在第三段。通過(guò)White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.可以看出，作者對(duì)于塑料制成的裝飾著花兒的白色車(chē)籃一眼就喜歡上了， 故選A項(xiàng)。B、C、D三項(xiàng)在文中未提及。

　　答案：A　

　　8．解析：推理判斷題。當(dāng)作者看中了這個(gè)塑料自行車(chē)籃之后，一再懇求媽媽。由“Mom，please can I please，please get it？”“I love that basket.Please，Mom.Please？”“Someone else will buy it.Please，Mom，please？”這些懇求可以看出，作者渴望馬上擁有這個(gè)車(chē)籃，生怕自己攢夠錢(qián)再來(lái)買(mǎi)時(shí)它已經(jīng)被賣(mài)掉了，因此選B項(xiàng)。她并非渴望做額外工作，只是想讓媽媽給她買(mǎi)下車(chē)籃，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；C項(xiàng)“站了好久之后，她感覺(jué)很累”在文中未提及，故排除；此處不是表示禮貌，而是表明作者一種期盼的心情，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

　　答案：B　

　　9．解析：推理判斷題。由畫(huà)線詞所在語(yǔ)境可知，作者說(shuō)自己的自行車(chē)前端沒(méi)有車(chē)籃，看起來(lái)赤裸裸的(naked)，幾周后，作者攢夠了錢(qián)，想到即將擁有這個(gè)車(chē)籃，作者感到非常快樂(lè)：...I counted，re-counted and jumped for joy.從這些信息看，畫(huà)線詞所在句子是為了渲染作者非常渴望擁有這個(gè)車(chē)籃。因此選B項(xiàng)。

　　答案：B　

　　10．解析：推理判斷題。由題干的a horrible turn of events將答案鎖定在倒數(shù)第二段。作者看到鄰家女孩的自行車(chē)上有和自己一樣的車(chē)籃，而且對(duì)方的自行車(chē)上還有all the bells and whistles，這讓作者受不了了，自己鐘愛(ài)的車(chē)籃別人也有，而且人家的自行車(chē)裝備更齊全，因此選D項(xiàng)。本題最大的干擾項(xiàng)是A項(xiàng)，表示意外的事情使作者沒(méi)有實(shí)現(xiàn)買(mǎi)車(chē)籃的計(jì)劃，這不符合文章的敘述。

　　答案：D　

　　11．解析：推理判斷題。文章最后作者的母親說(shuō)“Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”，由此推斷出選C項(xiàng)“自食其力”。A項(xiàng)“未雨綢繆”，文章沒(méi)說(shuō)做事前做好籌備；B項(xiàng)“忠言無(wú)價(jià)”，媽媽的話是忠言，但文章的本意并非強(qiáng)調(diào)“忠言無(wú)價(jià)”；D項(xiàng)“天助自助者”，也不是作者從媽媽身上學(xué)到的，這個(gè)很容易排除。

　　答案：C

　　Five Things Nobody Told Me about College

　　As I type this，I am in my university dorm room.A year ago，when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications，I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like.However，there's only so much that prep books，websites，and older friends can teach.Here are the top 5 things nobody told me about college：

　　1．________

　　Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study.If they tell you otherwise，they're lying and will probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter of attendance.During my first quarter at University of California，Riverside (UCR)，I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs，so that's what I applied for.However，once I worked with statewide and local government，I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy，and now I am in the process of changing my area.

　　2．________

　　In college，there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations.However，there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something.In order for you to take full advantage of the conferences，research，internships (實(shí)習(xí))，and fellowships that your university offers，apply！Step into your academic advisor's office，introduce yourself，and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career.Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone，and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.

　　3．________

　　College is where you meet your bridesmaids，groomsmen，neighbors，and potential bosses.The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later，so be wise about the people who you invest yourself in.You are only one person，and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose.Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are，and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.
