Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say children should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.Americas National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make speech-like sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children can say between eight and ten words. By two years of age, most children are able to make simple statements. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language.41. Language and communication skills are best developed in an environment full of .A) babies loud crying B) sounds and sightsC) nonsense speech D) food and attention42.

He prayed earnestly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from bad weather, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, when he came back from looking for food, he found that his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened. Everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” the weary man asked his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldnt lose heart, even in the midst of pain and suffering.Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the help from God.46.

Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2023, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to Paragraph 1 why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart.B)The tuition was raised.C) Their saving ran out .D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the school and the federal government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the school.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out from the school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that _.A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blamed the government for the college tuition increase.B) The earn enough to support their kidscollege education.C) They will try their best to send kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the last paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from making student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourOnline dating or Integer dating is a dating system which
