　　Section A
　　Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten  blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of  choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through  carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a  letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer  Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of  the words in the bank more than once.
　　Children do not think the way adults do. For most of the first year of  life, if something is out of sight, it’s out of mind. If you cover a baby’s  36 toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toy has disappeared and  stops looking for it. A 4-year-old may 37 that a sister has more fruit  juice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the 38  of juice.
　　Yet children are smart in their own way. Like good little scientists,  children are always testing their child-sized 39 about how things work,  When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try to  feed her, and you say, “that’s enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!” the  child will 40 test your claim, Are you serious? Are you angry? What will  happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you  41 ; rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and that  sometimes those 42 are important and sometimes they are not.
　　How and why does children’s thinking change? In the 1920s, Swiss  psychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children’s cognitive (认知的) abilities  unfold 43 , like the blooming of a flower, almost independent of what  else is 44 in their lives. Although many of his specific conclusions have  been 45 or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands of  studies by investigators all over the world.
