答案及解析:
1.  文章主题分析:Easy Learning
    Students should be jealous.Not only do babies get to doze (打瞌睡度过)their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.
    By the time babies are a year old they Can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words.Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.
    T0 test the theory, Cheour and her colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first few days of their lives.They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds—one that sounds like“oo”.another like“ee'’and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between.EEG recordings of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish, the sounds.
    Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers.While the rest were split into two sleep—study groups.One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels.while the others listened to other, easier—to-distinguish vowel sounds.
    When tested in the morning,and again in the evening,the babies who’ d heard the tricky boundary vowel a11 night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognize this new sound.They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed,while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.
    Cheour doesn’ t know how babies accomplish this night—time learning,but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults. babies don’t“turn off’their cerebral cortex while they sleep.The skill probably fades in the course of the first year of life,she adds—so  forget the idea that you Call pick up tricky French vowels as all adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow.But while it may not help grown—ups,Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help to babies who are genetically at risk of language disorders.
借助文章开头的语句和文章中反复出现的词汇babies可以判断文章是讲述“婴儿是如何容易得进行学习的”
 
2.判断题选项判断公式:
item1 right+ item2 right +..right = right;
item1 wrong (or item2 wrong or..wrong)= wrong;
item 1 not mentioned (or item 2 not mentioned or..not mentioned) = not mentioned;
 
3.直接看题解题
1.Babies can learn language even in their sleep.
  A.Right    B.Wrong    C.Not mentioned
A. 分析:可以把题干分成2层信息:Babies can learn language + even in their sleep。借助题干中的核心词:learn language 和 sleep作为答案线索,这样找到答案相关句:
  Students should be jealous.Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.(该句既包含了信息1的内容又包含了信息2的内容,所以判断问题句的说法正确。)
Not only..but also = not only..but../不仅。。而且
 
2.An infant can recognize a lot of vowels by the time he or she is a year old.
  A.Right    B.Wrong    C.Not mentioned
分析:可以把题干分成2层信息:An infant can recognize a lot of vowels + by the time he or she is a year old,借助题干中的特征结构a year old和vowels作为答案线索,这样发现答案相关句:
    By the time babies are a year old they can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words.Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.
    To test the theory, Cheour and her colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first few days of their lives.They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds—one that sounds like“oo”.another like“ee'’(该句中的infant是 newborn babies,而不是到一周岁的幼儿,所以该段内容不用看)and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between.EEG recordings of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish, the sounds.
    Fifteen of the babies (该句中提到的babies也是指前面出现的newborn babies,不是到一周岁的幼儿,所以该段内容不用看)then went back with their mothers.While the rest were split into two sleep—study groups.One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels.while the others listened to other, easier—to-distinguish vowel sounds.
  When tested in the morning,and again in the evening,the babies who’ d heard the tricky boundary vowel (该句中提到的babies也是指前面出现的newborn babies,不是到一周岁的幼儿,所以该段内容不用看)a11 night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognize this new sound.They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed,while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.
由此可见问题句中的第1层信息在文章中没有呼应的内容,因此判断该问题句为“没提到”
