16、that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure , they are widely different in size and shape.

17、or more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons(神經(jīng)元)in our brains

24、.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: m

25、irror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understan

26、d how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually per

27、formed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how th

28、ese discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互動). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for

29、physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.28.Mirror neurons can explain.A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we suffer from a coldC.why we smile when we see someone else smileD.why we yawn when we see some

30、one else stay up late29.The underlined word “triggered in the third paragraph probably means“.A.set off B.cut offC.built upD.broken up30.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons.A.relate to human behavior and interactionB.control human physical actions and feelingsC.result in bad behavior a

31、nd social disordersD.determine our knowledge and language abilities31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.DI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a docto

32、r, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a babys blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoye

33、d. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a

34、strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. Ive never heard anything so ridiculous.Baby feeding shouldnt follow a timetable set by the mum.What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few

35、weeks.Well,at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding.The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5,7,11 and 14,than babies fed according to the clock.By the age of 8,their IQ(智

36、商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable.This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(樣本)of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education,family income,a childs sex and age,the mothers health and feeding style

37、.These results dont surprise me.Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.32.What does the author think about Dr King?A.H

38、e is strict.B.He is unkind.C.He has the wrong idea.D.He sets a timetable for mothers.33.The word copper -bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to.A.basicB.reliableC.surprisingD.interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A.The baby will sleep well.B.The baby

39、will have its brain harmed.C.The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D.The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35.The author supports feeding the baby.A.in the nightB.every four hoursC.whenever it wants foodD.according to its blood sugar level第2節(jié) 共5小題：每題2分，總分值10分 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最正
