Question

【题目】 At the time of birth, babies can explore all the five senses-hearing, seeing, touching, tasting and smelling, through these senses are not fully developed. They explore the new world with their available senses.

Right from the time of birth, babies have a good understanding of sound. In fact, the sense of hearing develops much before the birth of them. When in their mother’s womb（子宫）, they can hear their mothers’ heart-beats. 【1】. And it is very easy for them to understand the tone（语调）of speech.

The sight also develops with time. Just after birth, babies can see things which are within eight to ten inches from their eyes. 【2】. With time, their range of vision and understanding of colors also develop.

【3】. They love sleeping in lap（大腿）just because personal touches make them feel safe. Touch is an important sense, which affects the relationship between the parents and their babies.

Babies explore most things by putting them inside their mouth. 【4】. And they will spit out anything that doesn’t taste good at once.

Babies recognize（认出）their mother through smell. 【5】. They also quickly recognize the smell of the food or fruits they love. With time, they develop an understanding of all the smells around.

Though the sensory development takes a long time, you can certainly help to make it fast. But remember: do not over—burden your kid, and do not be overprotective about your kid.

【解析】

作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了婴儿的五种感官：听、看、触摸、品尝、闻。

【1】上文提到他们在妈妈的子宫里时，可以听到妈妈的心跳声。下文对他们来说理解演讲中的语调是很容易的。所以中间选E，渐渐地，他们能记住单词和明白其中的意思。这个承接上文的听到声音，和下文的理解意思。故选E。

【2】上文提及他们的视力范围，下文总结了随着时间变化，他们的视力范围和颜色理解也提升了。所以中间应是提及对颜色的辨认。故选C。

【3】下文提及他们喜欢睡在大腿上，因为身体的接触使他们感觉到安全。整段都是在说接触对他们的重要性。所以这段的开头部分应是引入这段的内容。小婴儿喜欢被触摸。故选A。

【4】这段的前后文都提及吃和taste。前文是放进嘴里，后文是他们会立刻吐出不好吃的东西。故中间应是他们可以用过他们敏感的舌头来尝出吃进去东西的味道。故选B。

【5】50.前文提及他们通过气味辨认自己的妈妈。故下文应该通过气味辨认家庭成员的。故选D。
