2．I became aware of my stutter（結(jié)巴）when I was around 9，in the fourth grade.I began to see how other people viewed me.When the teacher asked the whole class questions，I never raised my hand though I knew the answer，because I knew I would stutter.Some kids would tell me that I talked funny，ask why I didn't talk normally，or laugh at me.As soon as that started to happen，I became more introverted （內(nèi)向的）.
It wasn't until the summer of 2015，before freshman year at high school.All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team.I owed much to them，especially Coach Lane who taught me how to play football.He took the time-and had the patience-to actually teach me what to do，how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
In junior year，I started my first game for the high school team.I had a very good season and in January 2018，I signed the University of North Carolina.The older we get，the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people.So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered，they did not say a thing.That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments.My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more.It's really helped me develop confidence.
Whenever I go back home to Georgia，I volunteer with children at my church，including those who have learning disabilities.I like to do that to inspire them with confidence.I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter，so I just don't want them to have to go through what I did.In the future，I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.

3．A paper published on November 15 in Current Biology suggests that a patch（小塊）of cells developed for identifying human faces，the fusiform face area（FFA），is up and running in infants（嬰兒）as young as two months old.
Rebecca Saxe，a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，and her colleagues scanned 42 infants ranging in age from two to nine months using a special functional magnetic resonance（磁共振）imaging（fMRI）helmet designed specifically for babies.Data from 16 of the infants had to be thrown out because it is extremely difficult to keep them happy，still and awake for long.For the 26 remaining infants，the scientists compared activity in visual areas of the brain while they watched 2.7-second video clips that described faces，body parts，landscapes，and other objects.Results showed more activity in the areas of the brain's visual system that are specialized for recognizing faces，bodies and scenes than areas for other observed objects.
"There's every reason to think that babies are born expecting and looking for their most important social partners，" Saxe says."Something in their brain makes them interested in faces actually before they've had any experience with faces at all.Babies look toward face-like images from hours after birth."
Other researchers are not convinced by Saxe's conclusions. "I don't believe that there are face patches present at birth，" Livingstone says.He views experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.
To Kalanit Grill-Spector，a psychology professor at Stanford University，the most exciting part of the new paper is not about this question of learned versus inborn development. "I think the study is kind of attempting to address this question，but it doesn't really provide a perfect answer one way or another.What impressed me is the amount of babies that they've scanned and with a lot of new innovations in baby fMRI，" she says. "That's going to push the field forward."
（1）Why were the data from the 16 infants abandoned？
A．Because the infants didn't watch the video clips.
B．Because the infants made no response to the objects.
C．Because the infants couldn't focus on objects for some time.
D．Because the infants were unwilling to wear helmets for long.
（2）How did the researchers get the results？
A．By listing figures.
B．By asking questions.
C．By analyzing reasons.
D．By making comparisons.
（3）Which statement would Rebecca Saxe probably agree with？
A．Infants can process facial patterns and give them meaning.
B．Specialized areas for recognizing faces are present at birth.
C．Some abilities of the visual system are gradually developed.
D．Experience and learning are essential for the development of the FFA.
（4）Which word best describes Grill-Spector's attitude to the way of the research？
A．Objective.
B．Skeptical.
C．Favorable.
D．Disapproving.組卷：10引用：3難度：0.5

9．A Midnight Rescue It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers.Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight.It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate.They headed into the forest.
The forest was black and silent.A little way into it they reached a fork in the earth path.Harry and David took the left path.They walked in silence，their eyes on the ground，watching out for the traps like big pits（坑）set by the illegal hunters.Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet（猩紅的）blood on the fallen leaves.
David saw that Harry looked very worried，asking，"Could Unicorn be hurt that badly？" Harry answered， "If we can't find it as soon as possible，it doesn't stand much chance to survive." Of course，Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant，the last wild elephant in this forest.The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest.They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger. "Without it，the forest was not complete.Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison." Harry thought，carrying his first aid kit（急救箱）on his back and walking forward with his flashlight.
It seemed that thick fog would come at any time，which would increase the danger.Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David.They walked for nearly half an hour，deeper and deeper.There were blood splashes（血跡）on the roots of a tree，as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by. "We must hurry up"，said Harry.
