43、es Have Fun on April Fool's Day D.New Ways to Spend April Fool's Day 解析:选C 标题归纳题。本文主要讲了几家航空公司在愚人节和大家开的玩笑,所以C项符合题意。D项有一定的干扰性,“度过愚人节的新方式”作为本文标题显然是过大了。 C A new study has found that background noise in the home or at school makes it more difficult for toddlers (学步的儿童) to learn new words. “Learning
44、words is an important skill,” notes Brianna McMillan, who led the study. “Modern homes are filled with TV, radio, and people talking that could affect how children learn words at early ages. Our study suggests that adults should know the amount of background speech in an environment when they're tal
45、king with young children.” Most studies of word learning are done in quiet laboratory settings. This study focused on word learning but tried to make the noisy environments children may face at home and at school. In the study, 106 children aged 22 to 30 months took part in three experiments in whi
46、ch they were taught names for new things and then tested on their ability to recognize the things when they were labelled (标注). First, toddlers listened to sentences featuring two new words. Then they were taught which things the new names referred to. Finally, the toddlers were tested on their abi
47、lity to remember the words. In the first experiment, 40 toddlers (aged 22 to 24 months) heard either louder or quieter background speech when learning the new words. Only toddlers who were in the quieter background speech successfully learned the words. In the second experiment, a different group
48、of 40 toddlers (aged 28 to 30 months) were tested to see whether somewhat older children could better overcome (克服) the effects of background noise. Again, only when background noise was quieter could the older toddlers successfully learn the new words. In the third experiment, 26 older toddlers w
49、ere taught the meanings of two word labells in a quiet environment. Next, the toddlers were taught the meanings of four word labells — two they had just heard and two new ones. Toddlers were taught the meanings of all these labells in the right noisy environment that damnified learning in the second
50、 experiment. The children learned the new words and their meanings only when they had first heard the labells in a quiet environment. 语篇解读:研究发现,在有响声的环境里学习会让学步的儿童学习词汇的效果打折扣。 28.What Brianna McMillan said in Paragraph 2 shows that ________. A.kids think it is important to learn words B.parents sho
