This shows that babies can tell the difference between different ，實驗表明嬰兒可以區(qū)別不同的聲音模式，故選A。 （3）句意猜測題。根據(jù)第三段If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 39。John caught the bear.39。 is very different from 39。The bear caught John.39?！笨芍?，有些東西放在句首和句尾，會有很大的不同，比如John抓住了熊，和熊抓住了John，意思是不一樣的，可知本句意思為位置對于語言來說很重要的，順序不同，意思不同，故選B。 （4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn39。t appear to be enough for children39。s brain ，通過電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等媒介的語言教學(xué)，對于嬰兒大腦發(fā)展是不夠的，并且后面的實驗表明，面對面的語言輸入才有效，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和句意猜測三個題型的考查，是一篇說明類閱讀，要求考生先從問題中抓住關(guān)鍵性詞語（題眼），然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀及查讀的技巧快速在文章中尋找與此問題相關(guān)的：段落、語句，仔細(xì)品味，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 During this shopping season, salesmen will e up with different strategies to get your business. Many product panies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and pete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that panies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers39。 purchasing decisions. Nobel Prizewinning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year pared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender (薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn39。t. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers39。 purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents (氣味) through their heating and airconditioning vents (通風(fēng)口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation. Ever felt frenzied due to a store39。s fastpaced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer39。s choice of music can have a big impact on consumers39。 moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers39。 satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers. Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn39。t your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers39。 experience. Online retailers (零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.（1）The passage is mainly about ________.
