AIt was one of the hottest days of the
14、dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old
15、 son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward
16、 the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to sp
17、ill(溅出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I alm
18、ost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand. I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart
19、I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. and more drops. and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.29. After learning about the truth, the autho
20、r felt _.A. curious and confused B. scared and excitedC. moved and curious D. proud and moved30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Water of LifeB. Importance of WaterC. How to Save AnimalsD. Animals in DangerBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly
21、 different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usua
22、lly shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noise
23、s, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that fro
24、m about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can
25、 say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the
26、 use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to s
27、peak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.31. Before children start speaking_.A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listeningC .they are all eager to cooperate with th

29、a long time in learning to listen properly33. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults34. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be cons
30、idered as speech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageC. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually D. is one that should be completely ignore
31、d because childrens use of words is often meaningless 35. The author implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakD. children who are good at
