It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress(痛苦), sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The best title for this passage would be()

A. How Babies Learn to Speak
B. Early Forms of Language
C. A Huge Task of Children
D. Noise Making and Language Learning

阅读下文,完成以下问题。在过去的几年中,美国公司累计获得了创记录的利润,而且据世界商业论坛说,美国的生产率已重新居于无可争辩的领先地位,将曾是它最大竞争对手的日本甩到了第四位。但据某些权威人士说,那两者之间并没有必然联系,也就是说,公司利润的飞速增加并不是生产率提高的结果,华盛顿的经济政策研究所说;“公司利润是由于工资的凝滞和下降而增加的。”该研究所在分析政府发布的数字时发现,1994年的税后赢利率是25年来的最高点,尽管投资或生产率的增长仍然比较凝滞。排除通货膨胀因素后的男性工人的中等工资自1979年以来一直在下降,在1989至 1994年期间,降速加快,每年下降一个百分点。妇女的工资自1989年以来也一直在下降。这种趋势的一个最令人苦恼的特点是:大学毕业的男性工人这些年来第一次看到他们的工资也在下降。收入略有增加的家庭,往往是家中有更多的成员去工作。人们普遍认为,19世纪的工业革命影响的主要是蓝领工人,而今天技术革命伤害的主要是白领和中层管理人员。其实生产线上的工人也未能幸免。他们是由于产量分成——生产任务向低工资地区转移——而受到打击。例如,汽车和电子产品的生产日益向东南亚和墨西哥集中,加勒比则成了受到青睐的服装制作中心。结果,制造部门报酬较多的工作,正在被零售和服务部门的低报酬的工作所取代。随着越来越多的地区进入自由贸易领域,这些地区的制造业会更加有吸引力,这种趋势即使不会加速,也会继续发展下去。 文中两次说到“这种趋势”,从全文来看“这种趋势”指的是()。

A. 由工资的下降获得赢利率的提高。
B. 生产任务向低工资地区的转移。
C. 各类工人工资的下降或持续下降。
D. 投资或生产率增长仍然比较凝滞。

[听力原文]11-15Men are the cleverest and most dangerous animals on earth. Rats come second. Men kill their enemies. They have killed millions of men since ancient times-but rats have killed hundreds of millions of men. Rats carry diseases. Black rats carry a fatal disease called plague which still kills thousands of Asians and Africans today—as it killed millions of Europeans in the past, until brown rats came to Europe and pushed black rats out. There is no plague in Europe today, but brown rats carry 35 other diseases. Rats are dangerous. They not only carry diseases into men’s homes, they also take men’s food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. That is enough grain to feed’ 200 million people—so men die of hunger because rats eat their food. Rats are clever, too. They have good leaders. Men try to poison them, but if their leaders tell them that food is dangerous they do not eat it. So our cities and villages are full of rats. We can go to the moon, but we cannot kill this dangerous enemy. Why Is it because we axe not clean They have()to tell them what to do.
