A
When John Milton, writer of“Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St.Paul’s School, London.Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly.His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way.They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier.They first made a word -for -word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English.As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original.The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them.All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read.And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin.Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys.During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin.He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.

B.Milton hadn’t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college
C.Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking
D.Milton\'s clamates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton
59．Which of the following is suggested in the paage?

B.The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand.
C.The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.
D.Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.

There are two factors which determine an individual’s （个人）intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unle he has opportunities to learn.So that second factor is what happens to the individualtolearn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”, and there is no reason to doubt that this is true.But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early time, had to be directly connected to such basic physiological“drives”as thirst or hunger.In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so.Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except succe in sight.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to“reward”the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements , such as turning the head to one side or the other.Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response（回答） with clear signs of pleasure.So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided.He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement“ turned on” some lights - and indeed that they were able to learn some more turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.
Papousek’s light experiment was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the light closely although they would“ smile and speak” when the light was on.Papousek concluded that it was not the sight of the lights which pleased them.It was the succe they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and then there is a basic human nature to make sense of the world and bring it under control.
65．According to the writer, babies learn to do things that ________.
A.will satisfy their surprise
B.will meet their physical needs
C.are directly connected to pleasure
D.will bring them a feeling of succe
66．Paponsek noticed in his studies that a baby would ________.
A.make learned responses when it saw the milk
B.continue the simple movements without being given milk
C.turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink
D.carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink
67．In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to ________.
A.be praisedB.please their parents
C.be rewarded with milkD.have the lights turned on
68．The babies would“ smile and speak”at the lights because________.
A.they succeeded in “turning on” the lights
B.the sight of lights was interesting
C.they need not turn back to watch the lights
D.the lights were directly connected to some basic“ drives”
