阅读理解Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No. 51 through No. 55).Although each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observeD、 Three periods of development have been identified(确定),including early infancy (幼儿期),which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding worlD、 During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands.In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy.In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler(蹒跚学步)stage.What is the main subject of this reading passage?
阅读理解Passage OneSound sleep occurs when one's internal clock is regulateD、Circadian rhythms(生理节奏)can become compromised quite easily. Many people with sleep troubles tend to vary bedtimes. To avoid this common problem , sleep sufferers should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. To help improve circadian rhythms , sufferers should enjoy 15 minutes of sun exposure the first thing in the morning.A bedtime routine can help prevent insomnia(失眠). One hour before bedtime , one should lower the lights and relax. Reading a book or listening to calm music can help prepare the body for a good night's sleep. Taking a warm, candlelit bath or drinking a cup of warm milk can also help you prepare for deep sleep at night.Stress can have a bad effect on the body and the ability to sleep. A daily exercise routine can help lower the body/'s stress naturally. One can also manage stress by writing diaries. Writing diaries can help people express their anxieties , plan for the future and improve sleep. Other ways to lower stress include deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.The light sending out from computers , cell phones , tablets and televisions can cause sleep problems. Therefore ,these items should be turned off at least an hour before bedtime. Additionally ,lowering the backlight on these electronic devices earlier in the evening can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer once bedtime arrives. A perfect bedroom invites sweet sleep. Most people sleep better in a cool , dark , and quiet room. Lower the temperature in the room to 16~20 degrees for a peaceful night's sleep. A dark room can be accomplished by installing light blocking curtains or wearing a sleep , mask. Noise can be reduced with either earplugs or a white noise machine. Finally , a comfortable mattress(床垫)and pillows are essential to a good night's sleep.What is the passage mainly about?

阅读理解Task 2 Directions : This task ( No. 51 to No. 55) is the same as Task l. It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation. Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public. But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it' s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible. The first paragraph tells us that________ .
