their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.
Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that a parent
can take in order to increase their child's skills and overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child's brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a
musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child's mental and physical health. It is recommended that parents teach their children two languages at once. Research suggests that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. Other studies state that three to four years of age is the perfect time. Clearly, any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child.
The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade.
Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be. 38. From the first paragraph, we can infer that .
A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids' various demands B. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids
C. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids D. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids' growth
39. What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?
A. To train kids as early as possible. B. To try as many means as possible.
C. To help kids develop as fully as possible. D. To use as many available resources as possible.
40. We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with .
A. inspiration
B. introduction C. suggestion
D. promotion

Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 41 They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future. The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 42 Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 43
When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from
the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 44 The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. ____45 It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway. A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.
B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.
C. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic. E. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.
F. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements. G. All of the experts don’t know what will happen in the future. 【解析】
试题分析：本文属于科普知识类，为大家预测了将来的汽车是什么样子，以及怎样操控它。 41.B首先根据文章开头的“Some experts...”可知与B项的“Other experts”构成some...others的结构；其次，根据后文说到“...remain a leading means of urban travel”可知，本句和前面说的“汽车消失”形成对比。；另外B项中的however起着转折的作用，说明专家们也有两种观点，故选B。
42.C根据上句：It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 它应该变得更小，更安全，更实用并且不应该由燃气发动机驱动。可知下句的意思应该是：未来的汽车应该比现在的汽车更无污染。可知C项符合题意。
