二、阅读理解

New mothers should hold their naked babies next to their skin for the first hour after birth so they can bond together, says a leading midwife（助产士）. The ‘golden hour’ helps calm the baby, build up resistance to infection and get breastfeeding off to a good start.

Dr Mary Price, a lecturer in midwifery at the University of Salford, said women should resist attempts by hospital staff to ‘whisk away’ the baby shortly after the birth, especially after having a Caesarean section.

Although it is common practice to allow mother and baby 10 minutes together skin-to-skin, it’s not long enough to give them time to get the bonding process underway, she said.

She said ‘I would like midwives throughout the UK to learn the benefits of leaving the baby with its mother for much longer’.

‘It’s important to have an immediate assessment of the baby’s condition after birth - but an experienced midwife can do that simply by looking at them, without taking the child away. I’ve known situations where the baby has been taken away because it needs help with breathing. But the baby goes from extremely anxious-looking to a rosebud pink within minutes once they are taken back into the mother’s arms.’

She believes mothers need to be given more information on the importance of skin-to-skin contact for calming the baby and building up resistance to infection.

Babies have a ‘primitive urge’ to find food and naturally head for the breast if left long enough, she told Nursing Standard magazine. The hour after birth can also shape a child’s emotions and there should be no rush to clean it up, she added.

Dr Price’s methods have been routinely adopted at Rochdale Infirmary and she hopes they will become known nationwide.

11. Dr Mary Price holds the view that ________________.

A. hospital staff should take away the baby shortly after the birth

B. women should refuse to have their babies taken away after the birth

C. women should insist on having their babies with them after the birth

D. women should find ways to calm their babies shortly after the birth

12. Which of the following is not among the benefits of newly-born babies staying with their mothers?

A. Having less chance of infection.      B. Getting the bonding process underway.

C. Getting calm.                                D. Starting breastfeeding sooner.

13. When a baby returns to its mother’s arms after getting breathing, the baby ____________.

A. still remains anxious                       B. soon becomes relaxed and calms down

C. will breathe more normally                    D. will shape its emotions

14. We can learn from the passage that Dr Price’s methods ___________.

A. have been widely accepted                    B. are against the common practice

C. have caught nationwide attention            D. are based on careful assessment

 

【试题答案】

一、选择题（定语从句）

1. A. which用作关系代词，在定语从句中作主语。

2. C. “和谁讲话”要说speak to sb. 本题全句应为Do you know the man whom I spoke to. 。whom是关系代词，作介词to的宾语，可以省略。

3. D. where是关系副词，表示地点，在定语从句中作地点状语。

4. C. when是关系副词，表示时间，在定语从句中作时间状语。

5. A. which是关系代词，在从句中作forget的宾语。其他几个答案都不能作宾语。

6. C. 解析同第5题。

7. A. 解析见第3题。

8. A. 本句话的先行词应该是films,因此，关系代词that是复数概念，其谓语动词应用复数的被动语态have been shown。如果句中的one前面使用了定冠词the，则the one应该视为先行词。

9. A. “谈到某事物”应说talk about sth. 。about是介词，其后要用which作宾语，不能用that。

10. A. with which是“介词＋关系代词”结构，常用来引导定语从句。with有“用”的意思，介词之后只能用which，不能用that. with which在定语从句中作状语，即he is writing with a pen.
