But I was36into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far
12、end of the sofa, was37, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldnt38 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment（尴尬） at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof（证明）of how39 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I

20、you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.A variety of explanations have be
21、en proposed by psychologists for this childhood amnesia( 记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张）that, since adults do not think like children
22、, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they dont find any that fit the pattern. Its like trying to find a Chinese word in
23、an English dictionary.Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply arent any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone elses spoken description of their personal experiences in orde
24、r to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them ab
25、out their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms,children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.56.According to the passage, it is widely believed that_.A.it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiencesB.adults and childr
26、en have different brain structuresC.adults think in words while children think in imagesD.adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories57.The wordhippocampus probably means_.A.a research center engaged in the study of human brains B.a psychological research department of a university C
27、.a miniature (tiny)campus formulated in ones childhood memoryD.a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories58.Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary is stated in the passage to show that_.A.adults and children have different memory patternsB.it is unlikely to find a Chi
28、nese word in an English dictionaryC.Chinese and English are totally different languagesD.memories are in some way connected with languages59.According to Annette Simms,_.A.verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memoriesB.there does not exist such things as childhood memorie
29、sC.childrens brains are mature enough to form permanent memories D.children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they dont understand BHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves(or anyo
30、ne else).Registered dietitian(营养学家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.Go for nutrient-dense(营养丰富的) foods, she suggests, foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rath
31、er than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just cant compare the value of these foods, the nutrient-dense ones are so superior, she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life-its the foundation
32、 of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on only one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to sustain, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients arent supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that will cure your illnesses, or mak
33、e you a superwoman, is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.We need carbohydrates, protein and fat-they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are the ma
34、tch, the spark, for the fuel, she explains. We need them all, but in very different proportions. And if the fuel isnt there, the spark is useless.60.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that working women_.A.think cooking is especially complicated B.do not share the same views with registered
35、 dietitiansC.are busy and not interested in cooking D.are likely to eat healthfully61.Orange juice is different from orange drink in that_.A.it contains only a small percentage of real juiceB.it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real orangesC.it is largely orange-colored sugar water D.it cont
36、ains nothing but calories62.In paragraph 4, a fruitless search means _.A.an effort with no results B.a search for a diet without fruitsC.research on fruitless diets D.a diet used as medicine 63.According to the passage, many women suppose that_.A.a balanced diet can result in being fat B.staying thi
37、n and healthy are both possibleC.lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin D.vitamins are some kind of substitution for food CThere seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In
38、 the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls
39、 are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanic
40、s, and technology. It is the universality(普遍性） of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence（持续) to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的)peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations dep
41、ended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characte
42、rize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步). The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artis
43、tic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.64.The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that_.A.their social roles are rigidly determined B.most boys would like to follow their fathers professionsC.boys like to pla
44、y with their fathers while girls with their mothers. D.they like challenging activities65.One aspect of the universality of toys lies in the fact that_.A.technological advances have greatly improved the durability (耐用性）of toysB.the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts o
45、f universitiesC.the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toysD.the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over66.Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys?A.The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially un
46、changed.B.Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.C.The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent yearsD.Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character67.Regarded as a kind of art form, toys _. A.follow a direct line of asce
47、nt B.also appeal greatly to adults C.are not characterized by technological progress D.reflect the pace of social progress DWhether the eyes arethe windows of the soul is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a babys lif
48、e, the stimulus （刺激物）that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile,nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile.(侧面） This attracti
49、on to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mothers back,
50、 infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode(把.编码)or decode (理解) meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the proper place to focus ones gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of on
51、es conversation partner.The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure
52、themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker reest
53、ablishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate(stop) the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering (movement)is to the maintenance(维持） of conversational flow becomes clear
54、when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.68.The author is convinced that the eyes are_.A.of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideasB.something through which one can se
55、e a persons inner worldC.of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD.something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate69.Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person_.A.whose front view is fully perceived (感知） B.whose face is covered with a maskC.whose face
56、is seen from the side D.whose face is free of any covering70.According to the passage, the Japanese fix their gaze on their conversation partners neck because_.A.they dont like to keep their eyes on the face of the speakerB.they need not communicate through eye contact C.they dont think it polite to
57、 have eye contactD.they didnt have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhood71.According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to _.A.one temporarily glancing away from the other B.eye contact of more than one second C.improperly-timed ceasing
58、of eye contact D.constant adjustment (调节)of eye contactEIs jazz a kind of folk music? Is it a performing style? How is it different from other kinds of music? There is no simple answer to these questions, because the most important quality of jazz comes from its unique combination of different music
59、al sources over a period of almost 400 years.The quality that unites the many different jazz forms is, in some degree, separate from its musical sources. That quality is the expression of freedom. The idea of freedom is central.The ancestors of jazz were black people from West Africa who were brough
60、t to America as slaves, or forced laborers, from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s. Most of them remained slaves until President Lincoln set them free on January 1,1863, during the American Civil War.With the loss of their personal freedom and the breaking up of their families, the slaves also lost t
61、he social traditions of their music from Africa. The complex rhythms(节奏) of this music involved a number of people performing together. The breaking apart of these social groups forced slaves to create new songs, that is, to develop a completely new musical tradition.Using some of the remembered Afr
62、ican rhythms, the slaves gradually began to add some features of the European classical music that was played by the slaveowners. The slaves were also influenced by American folk songs. But the result of adding these borrowed elements to the complex African rhythms was the beginning of a completely
63、new kind of music. Still, this music only existed privately among groups of slaves.The salves work had another effect on their music. It introduced new kinds of musical rhythms. Some of these rhythms became work songs to accompany their planting and picking of cotton. Other rhythms were developed by
64、 teams of workers who needed to lift heavy loads of cotton onto carts that passed through the fields. Later, during the building of the railroads, individual workers created new songs to match the sharp rhythms of steel as they put the rails into place.72.The main musical sources used by the slaves
65、to develop a new kind of music were_.A.folk music, jazz music, and modern musicB.classical music, American rhythms, and African folk songsC.African music, European classical music, and American folk musicD.slaves work songs, rhythms of lifting heavy loads, and sounds of steel striking steel 73.In so

Here it refers to_A.the slaves music B.a new musical
67、 rhythm C.the slaves work D.another effect75.When the slaves lost their personal freedom and their families,_A.they still kept their African musical tradition B.they no longer had any social traditionC.a number of people performed together D.they began to create a new musical style2006届常州调研卷.英语答卷Nam
