Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl，while boys will head for cars，a study has shown．The findings，the first to show differences in very young babies，suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 months．The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys．Some were typically boys' toys ---- a car，a digger，a ball and a blue teddy．The rest were girls' toys: a pink teddy，a doll and a cooking set．They were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children （9 to 14 months），girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys，and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did．Among the two and three-year-olds，girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it．The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars，which the girls barely touched．There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls，and the children's choice.
Dr Brenda Todd said，"Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization．Boys may be given‘toys that go’while girls get toys they can care for，which may help shape their preference ．But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys．There could be a biological basis for their choices．Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer: moving objects，probably through hunting instincts（本能），while girls prefer warmer color1s such as pink，the colour of a newborn baby."
61．Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because____
A．baby boys are much more active
B．baby girls like bright colours more
C．their parents treat them differently
D．there is a natural difference between them
62．Both baby boys and baby girls like to play with____ according to the study.
A．a ball B．a teddy C．a car D．a doll .
63．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Nine-month-old baby boys don't play with dolls at all.
B．Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
C．The older the babies are，the more obvious their preference is.
D．Parents should teach their babies to share each other's toys.
64．What conclusion did Dr．Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?
A．Adults purposely influence their babies' preference.
B．Babies' preference isn't affected by social surroundings.
C．Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.
D．Baby girls preferring warmer color1s will be warm-hearted．
65．We may read this article in a______section of a newspaper.
A．science B．health C．education D．entertainment.
知识点：教育类
61．D根据第一自然段 “ The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences．”可知孩子的选择有天性因素。

Children don't come with an instruction manual （手册），but now their grades in school do! Finally，parents can stop worrying about what their child's next school year will bring and get a glimpse of what's coming．
Education.com，an easy-to-use，one-stop online destination with over 4,000 articles，that helps parents and educators take an ever more active role in their children's education，unveiled Grade Specific Cheat Sheets for grades pre-school through grade 5．From academic expectations，developmental milestones，and typical social issues，to fun learning activities that literally bring it all home，parents can now find it all in one place.
"As the school year approaches，parents struggle to find time to adequately prepare themselves and their children for what's ahead," said Ron Fortune，CEO of Education.com．"Every grade is different．Whether it's helping parents understand what their third grader should be reading or how they should be talking to their teen about peer pressure，our goal is to provide parents with a grade and developmental stage-specific user manual that helps parents find authoritative information as quickly as possible."
The start of a new grade means many new questions．Now，a parent with a child about to embark （开始） on a new school year can go to Education.com's new Grade Specific Cheat Sheets and find age-specific information and content including what their child should be learning in math，reading，writing，and science，as well as physical and language milestones．Parents can find over forty articles per grade，on everything from peer relationships to self-esteem，how gender affects development，to ideas for using goldfish crackers for math practice or making a homemade fossil.

A．cover B．uncover C．discover D．invent
知识点：教育类
66．A 主旨大意题。本篇文章主要讲述的是Education．com的一些情况。
67．C 细节理解题。文章中“our goal is to provide parents with a grade and developmental stage-specific user manual that helps parents find authoritative information as quickly as possible．”已经说出了目标。而C项说跟学生提供作弊技巧显然不合适。
68．D 细节理解题。从这句话“that helps parents and educators take an ever more active role in their children's education”可以看出Education．com的积极作用。
69．A 推理判断题。从文章的第四段不难得出所涉及的内容的广泛。而BCD的表述和文章不相吻合。如C项应是for parents and educators。
70．B 词义猜测题。unveil是“揭露，揭开”的意思，只有uncover与之相吻合

It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented．And at first sight，it looks like the easiest．Competitors have to do two things．The first is to stand still．The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult．Lots of people are doing the same thing．And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time．That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do．At the beginning it is．Anyone can stand still．But when the contest has been going for four or five days，standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world．And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention．After a few days，the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat，drink or do whatever else is necessary．No one is allowed to lean on the car for support．Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention．They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter．Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation．Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”．Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”．The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions，but there is little rivalry （敌对） between competitors．They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up．People who drop out early return with food，drink and encouragement．
71．The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors ______.
A．cover a long distance
B．keep hands in place for long
C．wave hands as long as possible
D．do the same thing as in a marathon
72．What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?
A．Standing without any support.
B．Not leaning on the car.
C．Eating and drinking in five minutes．
D．Having strong powers of attention.
73．Why is handathon popular?
A．Someone can win with special training.
B．It doesn’t need to make any preparation.
C．Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D．People get along well with each other in it.
74．What is the writer’s opinion about handathon?
A．It is not as easy as it looks at first.
B．It is the easiest of all sports.
C．It can purify people’s spirits.
D．It is not good competing in a handathon．
75．Which of the following about handathon is not right?
A．The person who takes part in it should stand still．
B．The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.
C．The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D．Handathons are competitions，so competitors don’t encourage each other.
知识点：政治经济文化类阅读
71．D 推理判断题。由第二段可知，这种运动在形式上和马拉松是一样的。
72．D 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句：Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention．可以得到答案。
73．C 细节理解题。由第五段中的Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter．一句可知，它流行的原因是因为不需要进行专门的训练，换句话说，只要有兴趣就可以参加。
74．A 主旨大意题。在第一段作者就说“它好象是很容易”，第三段“那仍然看起来是很简单的事情”，但是马上来了个转折“but…, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world．”，由此可知作者的观点：它不象看上去那么简单。
75．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知D项错误。
