【分析】
这是一道英语词汇运用题，需结合词性、固定搭配、名词单复数等基础知识点解题：
1. 第1题：形容词修饰名词，resource是可数名词，此处指各类自然资源需用复数；

4. 第4题：material是可数名词，此处指多种材料需用复数。
【解析】

Ⅳ. 阅读理解。
Babies may look like little blobs(一团) who cannot do very much, but scientists have shown that they have an unbelievable ability to learn. In the first few years of life, babies learn a lot of amazing information, usually without knowing they are learning. Language is a perfect example of
this. Have you ever thought about how babies learn all the bits and pieces of language?
▲. In one study, researchers went into families' homes once a month and recorded what kids heard and said for one hour. They started doing this when the babies were only 9 months old, and they kept going to their homes until the kids were 3 years old. During this time, kids began to talk, and the scientists plotted(标出) every new word that the kids said. They also wrote down all the words and sentences that parents said to their kids.
After analyzing(分析) these recordings, they found that most kids started speaking around their first birthday, but some kids learned new words much more quickly than other kids did. They also found that kids were better at learning new words if their parents talked to them a lot at home. Kids who heard lots of language—more questions, more encouraging words, and more words that described things—had bigger vocabularies.
There are many reasons why some kids hear more language than others. Some kids' parents have a lot of time to play with them, while some parents do not have as much time. Some kids live with their parents, while some live with other grownups or in group homes. There are many ways in which kids' lives are different, and scientists still do not fully understand how these differences have an impact on the language they hear. What they do know is that kids who get to play and talk a lot are better prepared to start school.
