Ⅴ. 阅读理解
Have you noticed that people speak differently to babies compared to adults? Carers, especially mothers, change their speech when talking to young children. How? Their speech includes higher pitches(音高) and a wider pitch range(范围). They use shorter sentences and repeat words more often. You can think of it as baby talk. Researchers have recently discovered that dolphins also use baby talk with their babies.
The research team recorded sounds of 19 mother dolphins living in the Sarasota Bay area. The sounds of the same female dolphins were compared when they were with and without their babies. Chart 1 shows the sound of a female dolphin without her baby. The researchers found that when dolphins were with their babies, dolphin mothers had a wider range of frequencies(频率) of the sound—the maximum(最高) frequencies were higher and the lowest frequencies were lower.

Chart 1
The findings mirror the way that humans change the speech when speaking to babies. Dolphin “baby talk” may have a similar purpose to human “baby talk”: It may help babies learn how to phonate. We humans don't only “baby talk” with little babies, but with the children who are still learning to speak. As a result, our children are able to talk. That's exactly what happens to dolphins. The changes in speech don't just happen when dolphin mothers stay with very young babies, but also between mothers and babies that are closer to “toddler(蹒跚学步的孩子)” age. Another possible reason for using specific pitches is to catch the children's attention. It's really important for a young dolphin to know “Oh, Mum is talking to me now.”
The research about baby talk in dolphins reminds us how important it is in humans. Whenever we speak with a young child, how we say things could be as important as what we say.
1. What's one of the features of baby talk according to the first paragraph?
A. Lower pitches.
B. Longer sentences.
C. A smaller pitch range.
D. More same words.
2. 新考法 图示理解 Which chart shows the sound that dolphin mothers make when with babies?

3. What does the underlined word “phonate” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Produce the sound.
B. Understand baby talk.
C. Change the speech.
D. Catch people's attention.
4. 语言能力 推断能力 Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To help people understand the sounds made by dolphins.
B. To ask people to build a good relationship with dolphins.
C. To remind people to communicate with children more often.
D. To let people be careful with the way of talking with children.

答案
1.D 2.D 3.A 4.D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,海豚妈妈在与宝宝交流时也会使用类似于人类的“儿语”方式,即调高音调、扩大音调范围,并且这种变化不仅出现在与幼小的宝宝交流时,也出现在与接近“学步”阶段的宝宝交流时。
1. D 解析:细节理解题。根据“Their speech includes higher pitches and a wider pitch range. They use shorter sentences and repeat words more often.”可知,她们的语言包括更高的音高和更宽的音高范围。她们使用较短的句子,并且更频繁地重复词语。故选D。
2. D 解析:图示理解题。根据“dolphin mothers had a wider range of frequencies of the sound—the maximum frequencies were higher and the lowest frequencies were lower”可知,当海豚妈妈和幼崽在一起时,海豚妈妈发出的声音频率范围更广——最高频率更高,最低频率更低。结合文中图表1,D选项符合最高频率高于图表1的最高值,最低频率低于图表1中的最低值。故选D。
3. A 解析:词义猜测题。根据“but with the children who are still learning to speak. As a result, our children are able to talk”可知,我们人类会和还在学习说“儿语”话的孩子们说“儿语”是为了孩子能够说话。所以海豚的“儿语”也是为了帮助幼崽学习发声说话,因此“phonate”表示发声。故选A。
4. D 解析:写作意图题。文章的最后一段说到关于海豚的儿语的研究提醒我们其在人类中的重要性。每当我们和幼儿交谈时,我们如何说话可能和我们说什么一样重要。由此可知作者想让人们注意与孩子说话的方式。故选D。

【分析】
1. 第1题是细节理解题,需定位第一段关于“baby talk”的特征描述,逐一比对选项排除错误答案;
2. 第2题是图示理解题,需提取文中海豚妈妈与幼崽在一起时的声音频率特征,结合图表判断符合的选项;
3. 第3题是词义猜测题,需结合上下文人类用儿语帮助孩子学习说话的目的,推断划线词含义;
4. 第4题是写作意图题,需聚焦最后一段总结内容,明确作者通过海豚儿语研究想传递的核心提醒。
【解析】
1. 第1题:根据第一段“ Their speech includes higher pitches and a wider pitch range. They use shorter sentences and repeat words more often.”可知,儿语特征为更高音高、更宽音高范围、更短句子、更频繁重复词语,选项A(更低音高)、B(更长句子)、C(更小音高范围)均错误,D(更多重复词语)正确,故选D;
