21、 For most students, writing more clearly persuasively presents a great challenge. 【1】Few of them, though, focus on filling their essays with necessary information and details, let alone organizing the information.
In order to make an essay convincing, students should know how to select the necessary information and details. 【2】 Information that can help students clarify and better convey their ideas is certainly important. To figure out what this is, you should make sure you understand the theme of the essay. 【3】
Suppose you were asked to write an essay describing a memorable event in your life. You should start off by thinking about the events you’ve experienced, and why a particular event is especially memorable to you. 【4】 While writing the essay, you should constantly remind yourself that since the event must be a memorable one, you should pay attention to describing the details that make it so special.
【5】 Indeed, before you include any information in your essay, you should think about how to link reasons, examples and details together before you start writing. Only then will you be able to produce a strong and coherent (连贯的) essay.
A.But how do you know what to include?
B.Good writing is sure to leave a deep impression on the readers.
C.Through this process, you can choose a meaningful experience.
D.You can begin with a question, such as why I’m writing this essay.
E.Many can write grammatically correct sentences and choose proper words.
F.However, even if you think of good reasons and examples, you must try to organize your essay well.
G.Only after clearly understanding the topic can you choose proper reasons and examples to support your ideas.
22、Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them. Within the first month of their lives, babies’ responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of hearing stimulation. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that a baby notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances(讲话,说话). By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling tones. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies’ emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is happy or angry, attempting to begin or end new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of clues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating(夸张) such clues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other researchers have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels(元音) longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make those precisely perceptual(知觉的,感性的) recognition that are necessary if they are to acquire listening language.
Babies obviously obtain pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to boring meaning that it often is for adults.
【1】The author mentions syllables with rising and falling tones to .
A. show how difficult it is for babies to interpret emotions
B. provide an example of ways adults speak to babies
C. give a reason for babies’ difficulty in telling one adult from another
D. show a six-week-old baby can already tell some language differences
【2】What can be inferred about the findings described in Paragraph 2?
A. Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.
B. Babies ignore facial expressions in understanding listening language.
C. The mothers were unconsciously teaching their babies to speak.
D. Mothers only exaggerate their tones when talking to babies.
【3】Why do babies listen to songs and stories, even if they can’t understand?
A. They understand the rhythm. B. They enjoy the sound.
C. They can remember them easily. D. They focus on the meaning.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Babies can detect sounds other than the human voice.
B. Babies’ ways to learn a language differ from adults’.
C. Babies can respond to the speech before they can speak.
D. Babies can tell the sound of the human voice from other sounds.

24、Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from? You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. 【1】 And furthermore, they got the question right.
【2】 It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.
As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记).
【3】 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.
Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course. The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. 【4】 Try these tips:
★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.
★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’ re curious and excited about the information. Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand
★If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. 【5】
★ Time yourself for each passage you practice. Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.
A.To do that, you have to practice.
B.Find the common terms for the passage.
C.We miss things when we take class notes
D.Look through the textbooks for each course
E.That sounds much more complicated than it really is.
F.You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way
G.Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes
