security, and an overall sense of well-being. ■Not surprisingly, sociologists find that the

the stronger the primary group ties of a sports team playing together, the better their record is.■

○ An infant is unable to perceive more than one stimulus at a time.
正确选择A 错误选择C
第12题
12. Paragraph 5 indicates that researchers who used the techniques described in the
passage discovered that
○ infants find it difficult to perceive some types of stimuli
○ neonates of only a few days cannot yet discriminate between stimuli
○ observational assessment is less useful for studying infant perception than researchers
previously believed
○ a neonate is able to perceive stimuli better than researchers once thought
正确选择B 错误选择C
第13题
Paragraph 3:Observational assessment techniques have become much more sophisticated,
reducing the limitations just presented. Film analysis of the infant's responses, heart and
respiration rate monitors, and nonnutntive sucking devices are used as effective tools in
understanding infant perception. ■Film analysis permits researchers to carefully study the infant's
responses over and over and in slow motion. ■Precise measurements can be made of the length
and frequency of the infant's attention between two stimuli. ■Heart and respiration monitors
provide the investigator with the number of heartbeats or breaths taken when a new stimulus is
presented. ■Numerical increases are used as quantifiable indicators of heightened interest
in the new stimulus. Increases in nonnutntive sucking were first used as an assessment
measure by researchers in 1969. They devised an apparatus that connected a baby's pacifier to
a counting device. As stimuli were presented, changes in the infant's sucking behavior were
recorded. Increases in the number of sucks were used as an indicator of the infant's attention to
or preference for a given visual display.
13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be
added to the passage.
The repetition allows researchers to observe the infant's behavior until they reach
agreement about the presence and the degree of the infant's response.
Where would the sentence best fit?
