21、rns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B”. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more
22、 active during the “A-B-B”pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is building blocks of words and grammar.“Position is key to langua

29、 and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain.可知,婴儿通过看、听、摸等途径接收到不同信息,这可以让大脑不同部分形成联系,故B项正确。9.A推理判断题。根据第二段尤其是This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns.一句可知,实验表明,婴儿在听到“A-B-B”声音模式时,负责语言能力的大脑区域比听到“A-B-C”声音模式时更加活跃,这说明婴儿的大脑可以区别不同的声音模式,故选A。10.
30、B句意猜测题。根据第三段的“If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John.”可知,有些东西放在句首和句尾会有很大的不同,比如“John抓住了熊”和“熊抓住了John”的意思是不一样的,由此可知单词位置对于语言来说很重要,单词顺序不同,意思不同。11.D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl
31、have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development.可知,通过电视、有声书、网络和智能手机等媒介的语言教学,无论教育意义多大,对于婴儿大脑发育都是不够的,根据下文可知,面对面的语言输入才有效,故D项正确。D(2019湖南长郡中学二模)In the United States, experts are
