A relatinship between the amunt f adult speech children are expsed t and the cncentratin f myelin, a substance in the brain, has been fund, researchers say. “I think the take-hme message is, abslutely talking t yur kids. It’s literally shaping the structure f the brain,” says the lead authr, Prf Jhn P. Spencer f the University f East Anglia.
The team find, fr the 30-mnth-lds, larger amunts f adult speech are assciated with higher quantities f myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; hwever, fr the 6-mnth-lds, it ges the ppsite way.
While the latter is unexpected, Spencer pints ut ne pssible factr: the brain’s stage f develpment.
“When babies are six mnths ld, they experience massive grwth f new nerve cells,” he says. “S the input cmes in and may help extend the perid f brain grwth.” “While at 30 mnths, the brain starts t cutback sme f the cell grwth, and frm specific cnnectins. That’s where myelin cmes in. S nw the input starts t help structure the myelin,” he adds.
The researchers cnclude adult speech is significant fr bth age grups and that the mre adult speech children g thrugh, the mre sensitive they will be t language. The next step fr them is t figure ut whether the 6-mnth-ld babies shwing that negative cnnectin will surely turn int 30-mnth-ld kids wh shw psitive relatinship.
Dr. Salni Krishnan, Reader in cgnitive neurscience (认知神经科学) at Ryal Hllway, University f Lndn, wh is nt invlved in the wrk, hwever, ntes individual differences in language ability are linked t genetics. “Children wh are expsed t mre language at hme and have higher myelinatin will als have inherited genes(经遗传获得的基因) frm parents wh are mre excellent in languages,” she said. “N final cnclusin culd be made befre this ptential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently n standard arund the amunt f input children shuld receive, caregivers shuld nt necessarily feel pressure t talk mre t their children.”
32. What surprises the team?
A. The finding fr the 6-mnth-lds.
B. The finding fr the 30-mnth-lds.
C. Hw the input help nerve cells grw.
D. Hw the input help structure the myelin.
33. What des the researchers think f adult speech?
A. It is psitively related t myelin.
B. It cuts back sme f the cell grwth.
C. Its effect varies with the size f brains.
D. It is helpful fr bth grups’ language ability
34. What might Dr. Salni Krishnan apprve f?
A. The team shuld d mre research.
B. Parents must talk mre t their kids.
C. Inherited genes decide language ability.

第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第1—2题每小题2分，第3题3分，第4题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。
Peple frm different generatins ften live and wrk tgether. Smetimes they’re happy being tgether, ther times they’re nt. One f the reasns fr their unhappiness maybe a generatin gap. A generatin gap is the difference between tw r mre generatins—nt the differences between their years but the differences between the generatins’ ideas, attitudes, and interests. Of curse, peple can have differences and still be happy tgether, but accrding t the experts, cmmunicatin between the generatins helps everyne get alng.
Gd cmmunicatin between the generatins starts in the family. These days many families are changing their cmmunicatin style. They are mving frm a “ne-way” style t a “tw-way” style f cmmunicatin. T shw this change, let’s cmpare tw families:
The Smith family uses the “ne-way” style f cmmunicatin. Mr. and Mrs. Smith shw interest in their children, but they dn’t discuss prblems f feelings. The parents make all the rules and decisins. They dn’t ask fr their children’s pinins. They explain their decisins t their children, but they dn’t discuss them. The explanatin is clear and the children understand. The cmmunicatin ges ne way: frm the parents t the children.
The Jnes family uses the “tw-way” style f cmmunicatin. Mr. and Mrs. Jnes shw interest in their children and ask fr their pinins. They discuss prblems and express their feelings. The family makes rules and decisins tgether after a discussin. The cmmunicatin ges tw ways: frm parents t children and frm children t parents.
Better cmmunicatin between generatins at hme means better cmmunicatin between generatins at wrk and in the cmmunity. When peple frm different generatins understand each ther better, they learn frm each ther mre. This helps them frm strnger bnds, wrk tgether mre easily. As a result, peple f all ages can team up effectively and cme up with new ideas in different parts f life.
40. What is a generatin gap?

【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断，虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解，但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个，比四个选项中选一个，感觉干扰性更大，很大同学在做这个题目时，总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉，致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们，首先要克服心理障碍，同时要注意方式方法。其次，注意设空前后的句子，因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的，所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。如第4小题，根据下文If depressin has yu nticing nly the negative, make an effrt t ntice the gd things in life.（如果抑郁让你只注意到消极的一面，那就努力去发现生活中好的一面）可知，此处指要看到事物积极的一面。由此可知，A项Lk n the bright side.（往好的方面想）符合文意。故选A。
