18、m to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover （揭露）the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing right? Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists (心理学家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigati
19、on（调查研究）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 in 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,
20、but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the 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
21、how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the babys investigation and the scientists 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 psycho
22、logists 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 （使翻转）a theory, tha
23、t 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 doesnt like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also o
24、ffers 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（婴儿期）.Perhaps evolution (进
25、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 (认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult sc
26、ientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”8. According to some developmental psychologists, .A. a babys play is nothing more than a game B. scientific research into babies games is possibleC. the nature of babies play
27、 has been thoroughly investigatedD. a babys play is somehow similar to a scientists experiment9. We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB. scientists and babies often interact with each otherC. babies are born with the knowledge of object suppor
28、tD. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do10. Children may learn the rules of language by .A. exploring the physical world B. investigating human psychologyC. repeating their own experiments D. observing their parents behaviors11. What is the authors tone when he discusses the connect
29、ion between scientists research and babies play? A. Convincing. B. Confused. C. Confidence. D. Cautious.DGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering
30、these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas
31、. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking
32、in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all
33、 admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bir
34、d and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats ar
35、ound them. I asked them what theyd seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will
36、open a new dimension （局面）to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more _.A. anxious to do wonders B. sensitive to others feelingsC. likely to develop unpleasant habits D. eager to explore the world around them13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.
37、 To avoid jumping to conclusions. B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teachers advice. D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers behavior shows that they _.A. are very patient in their observation B. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birds D. q
38、uestion the accuracy of the field guides15. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isnt attractive to them. B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the d
39、estination. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分。)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most companies will pay employees more if they have a degree. 16 If you are a babysitter with a college degree, you can expect higher babysitter pay. If you have completed courses leading to an early childhood or education
40、 degree, you can also receive more than someone without those qualifications. 17 If you have more than two years of experience and a college degree, youre very likely to get higher pay than others. If you have special knowledge or skills that are needed, you may command higher pay. 18 Another exampl
41、e: if you possess a degree in fine arts, and your employer-family wants their children to learn creative expressions, your creative skills (painting, sculpture, etc.) may earn you a higher income. 19 For example, if you obtained your CNA (certified nursing assistant) through your local community col
42、lege, and your employer-family has a child with medical conditions, you may receive a higher pay rate. 20 Just name a few here: how many children are to be attended to, what the ages of those children are, what additional responsibilities will be given to the babysitter (cooking, driving, etc.), in
43、what country/state the babysitting is happening, and the babysitters ability to promote her qualifications and discuss her pay rate.A. The same is true for babysitters. B. Not everyone is equal in the job market.C. Of course, other factors affect babysitter pay rates as well. D. For instance, anyone
44、 who can play the piano can get higher pay as a babysitter. E. Job-relevant certificates acquired through colleges may also lead to increased incomes on the job.F. Parents will be happy to have an experienced and educated person caring for their children. G. For example, if you know Russian and your
