Scientific educational toys can develop kid's reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination. But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun.That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:
Science Kit
You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It's a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions.It's recommended for kids aged 6 and above,with adult company.You don't have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments.
Mini Terra Kit
You don't have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids aboutthe natural world.This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.
Gravity Run
This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The award-winning game is designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert),this game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.

If you've followed dieting advice and experienced significant weight loss, only to have it return, you’re not alone. It's also not your fault. The human body is designed to maintain balance as much as possible. In a restricted calorie environment, the body adapts to using fewer calories each day to function. This leads to a slowing in metabolism（新陈代谢），which makes it even more difficult to lose weight and ultimately leads to gaining weight again. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, which means it burns more calories at rest than fat does. If your body starts breaking down muscle to fuel its basic functions, that can further slow your metabolism and make losing weight and keeping it off long term difficult.
Because the body wants to preserve weight, a slow approach to losing extra pounds is healthier than sharply cutting calories. It’s better to pace your weight loss by eating just enough calories to keep you at insufficiency while still meeting most of your body's energy needs. This will help keep your metabolism working efficiently.
Determining the number of calories you need to eat to meet that rate of weight loss will depend on several factors, including your age, starting weight, activity level and sex. Candace Pumper, a staff dietitian with the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, says," The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position statement on adult weight management recommends 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day for women and 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day for men to support weight loss."
She notes, however, those guidelines are "not meant to substitute for professional nutritional advice or treatment. It's recommended that people follow the advice of their dietitian's guidance regarding appropriate calorie intake, as many factors affect calorie needs." She also notes that if one is looking to lose weight quickly, he has to work with and be supervised by a health care provider.
24. Why do people gain weight after dieting for long?
A. The muscle burns fewer calories at rest than fat.
B. The body functions slowly because of dieting.
C. It is hard to strike a metabolic balance.
D. It is impossible to have a long-term effect.
25.What does the underlined part "at insufficiency" probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Being inadequate.
C. Being improper.
B. Being unhealthy
D. Being unnecessary.
26. Which of the following may determine calorie loss?

①age
A. ②③④
②weight
B.①②③
③identity
C. ①②④
④gender
D. ①③④

27.What can be inferred in the last paragraph?
A. Individual efforts matter a lot.
B. Professional advice is important.
C. Calorie needs vary from person to person.
D.Care providers can be relied on for weight gain.
C
An asteroid is moving very fast toward Earth, threatening every human being on the planet. Humanity has one shot to save itself with brave, selfless heroes piloting a spacecraft into the universe to destroy the asteroid.
But that's the movies. On Monday evening, NASA showed what the reality was like. There was an asteroid, but it wasn't threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying on advanced technology from the Earth. The human heroes of the mission were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Baltimore and Washington, D. C. And there was a collision.In this case it was the final act of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in November,2021 and then raced around the sun for 10 months as it pursued its target-a smalI space rock,Dimorphos,seven million miles from Earth.
“For the first time,humanity has demonstrated the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid,”said Ralph Semmel,director of the lab.In its last moments, the spacecraft sent back a series of photographs. DART had spotted Dimorphos only an hour earlier, as a dot of light. Then, Dimorphos grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen.The engineers were on
their feet,cheering."Normally,losing signal from the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel
said."But this time,it was the ideal outcome.“
With movies like "Deep Impact",Hollywood has long been enthusiastic about the prospect of disaster raining down from the universe."In reality, big asteroids that would cause planet-wide destruction occur very rarely,once every 10 million years or so.Hence,planners at NASA and elsewhere devote their attention to smaller ones in space,which would not set off mass extinctions,but can release more energy than a nuclear bomb. If any of those asteroids turns out to be on a collision course with Earth,the DART mission shows that changing its orbit is a realistic possibility.
28. What's paragraph 1 describing?

A. A movie plot.
C. A witness account.
B. A natural disaster.
D. A virtual experiment.

29. What's the mission of DART?
A. Racing around the sun.
B. Tracking asteroids in space.
C. Changing the orbit of Dimorphous.
D. Establishing a permanent space lab.
30. Why were the engineers cheering?
A. They obtained clear desired photos.
B. They made a safe landing from space.
C. DART crashed Dimorphous into pieces.
D. DART completed its mission successfully.
31. What's the significance of the DART mission?
A. Preventing the earth from being destroyed.
B. Providing a solution to an asteroid impact.
C. Fueling people's interest in Hollywood movies.
D. Increasing chances of humans going into space.
D
If a cat or dog shares your house, I’ll venture a guess that you don't refer to the four-footed family member who licks your face and sleeps on your bed as "it". You probably call them by a name, and refer to them as “he”or"she".
A group of more than 80 people,including Dr.Jane Goodall,have signed a letter calling on the editors of the AssociatedPress Stylebook to change their guidance so that animals in news stories would be identified as“she/her/hers and he/him/his when their sex is known, regardless
of species,and they,or he/she,or his/hers when their sex is unknown."News organizations often follow the guidance of the AP Stylebook.The signers of this letter hope that when we write about animals in zoos,shelters,fields,farms,forests,seas and labs,they are recognized as living beings who feel hunger, fear, happiness and pain.“This update would reflect the fact that animals are sentient（有感情的）beings，and encourage people to respect and protect them and their rights and interests, and to shape a fairer world,"says Jane.
Ben Dreyer,copy chief at Random House,says thoughtful adjustments to our language don't have to wait for a stylebook.“Writers should write the way they see fit to write,"he says. “The so-called genderless 'he' for instance is now a thing of the past because writers have abandoned it.”
Laura Hillenbrand,author of Seabiscuit and other best-selling books,tells us that if we don't refer to animals in personal terms, we open ourselves to abusing, ignoring, and exploiting （剥削）creatures whose capacity for suffering is no less than our own.“We form beautiful， profound relationships with them, and we justly place animals on a moral plane alongside ourselves and far above that of the brick or the cap,the things we call 'it',”she says.
32. What is the purpose of the letter mentioned in Para 2?
A. To improve animal welfare.
B. To standardize the use of pronouns.
C. To expose the unfair treatment of animals.
D. To offer news editors practical guidelines.
33.The signers think animals should be identified as “he” or “she" instead of “it" because
A. animals are friends of human beings
B. animals' sex is usually known
C. animals' gender should be respected
D. animals are the living beings that have emotions.
34. What is Laura's attitude toward the proposal for the AP Stylebook?
A. Cautious.
B. Disapproving.
C. Uncertain.
D. Favorable.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A. How to refer to pets in your houses.
B. How to use gender pronouns properly
C. Do animals deserve gender pronouns?
D. Is "he" a genderless pronoun?
第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With New Year approaching, year-end reviews dominate the airwaves.36.Lose ten pounds? Read a book a month? However, I’ve never given much thought to New Year's resolutions. I make intentions instead. It means setting one's purpose toward a path instead of action toward specific behaviors. And more than that，I＇m setting them in a framework（框架） that will give them wings.
Set time, not goals
A wise friend once told me “Do not set a result as the goal. Set the time in which you do the things you want to do." For example, I usually tell myself I should write more. 37 Then, I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write, say ,from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Take advantage of the Premack Principle
The Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of high-probability behavior can make a low-probability behavior more likely. 38.So,now that I've set my intention to write and the time to write, I can link it to a high-probability behavior, such as dropping my kids off at school in the morning. The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self-motivating talk. 39
40
Let's face it, no matter how much you set an intention, if there's no enjoyment once you start, it will likely fall by the wayside. So, find a path you enjoy that will bring the same result In truth, I hate exercising, but, luckily, I walk my dog. A lovely way to exercise, go out in nature enjoy companionship, and meet people!
A. Face your intention directly
B. One intention, multiple paths
C. Over time, it becomes routine as well
D. But the result proves far from satisfactory
E. Perhaps most are also making new year resolutions
F. Resolutions seem to hold people prisoners rather than free them
G. In other words, to enact a new behavior, attach it to a well-established behavior

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was never very neat. Later in life I learned to attribute（把......归因于）this shortcoming to my creative genius, saying that my disorganization was simply the side of my unique gifts and talents. Yet, back at high school, I hadn't come up with any impressive reasons for my big messes.
As fate would have it, my teacher paired me with Kim as my roommate. I'm not sure why he stuck us together. I don't think he could have possibly picked two more different people to room together. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything and each item she owned had its place. Well，I think my bits and pieces of paper，odds and ends（零碎物品）would find their ways into places automatically. And apparently, my roommate didn't seem to be on the same page with me.
As time went by, she got neater, while I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes. I would complain about Lysol（杀菌消毒剂）headaches. She would push gently my clothing over to one side and I would lay one of my books on her tidy desk.
One October evening, things got ugly. Kim came into the room and lost her temper right away after seeing one of my shoes had found its way beneath her bed. She picked it up, cast it toward my side of the room angrily and managed to knock the layer of clothes onto the floor(by the way, I had planned to fold them later).I jumped off the bed and immediately started yelling about her rudeness. She yelled back, “Look at the mess you've made! Could you at least clean up your own table！＂I was sitting on my bed，fuming（发怒）.She was sitting on hers，fuming. The room was thick with anger. It could have ended with a violent fight if it hadn't been for the phone call she received.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
She picked the phone up and I could tell it was bad news from her family.



I found myself lost for words and I decided to do something.

33．细节理解题。根据第二段可知，签名者认为动物应该被称呼为“他”或“她”，而不是“它”，因为动物是有感情的生物。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Laura Hillenbrand，author of Seabiscuit and other best-selling books， tells us that if we don't refer to animals in personal terms, we open ourselves to abusing, ignoring, and exploiting（剥削）creatures whose capacity for suffering is no less than our own.”（《奔腾年代》和其他畅销书的作者劳拉·希伦布兰德告诉我们，如果我们不从个人角度来谈论动物，我们就会对那些承受痛苦的能力不亚于我们自己的动物进行虐待、忽视和剥削。）可知，劳拉认为我们应该正确使用性别代词来称呼动物，如果不这样做，就意味着我们没有平等地看待动物，可能会对动物进行虐待、忽视和剥削，由此可知，劳拉对A Stylebook的提案的态度是赞许的。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段关键句“A group of more than 80 people，including Dr．Jane Goodall， have signed a letter calling on the editors of the Associated Press Stylebook to change their guidance so that animals in news stories would be identified as “she/her/hers and he/him/his when their sex is known, regardless of species，and they，or he／she，or his／hers when their sex is unknown.””（包括简·古德博士在内的80多人签署了一封信，呼吁《美联社写作风格书》的编辑们改变他们的指导方针，以便新闻报道中的动物在性别已知时被识别为“她／她／她的和他／他／他的”，不考虑物种，而在性别未知时，识别为他们或他／她或他／她的。）可知，本文讲述了有些人呼吁动物应该得到性别代词，并介绍了其他人对这一呼吁的看法，“Do animals deserve gender pronouns？”意为“动物应该得到性别代词吗？”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。
七选五：EDGCB
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何使得自己的新年计划付诸行动。
36．根据空后“Lose ten pounds？ Read a book a month？ However，I’ve never given much thought to New Year’s resolutions.（减掉十斤？一个月读一本书？但是，我从未考虑过新年计划）”中的resolution可知，此处讲述的是年终做新年计划的话题，E选项“Perhaps most are also making new year resolutions（也许大多数人也在制定新年计划）”中的resolutions与空后的内容指代一致，且与“Lose ten pounds？Read a book a month？”内容吻合。故选E项。
37．根据空后的“Then，I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write，say，from 8：30 a．m．to 11：30 a．m．（然后，我意识到最好将我的写作意图和写作时间设定为上午8：30到上午11：30）”可知，作者调整了计划的内容和方式。由此可推断，此空处表示上文的计划内容效果不佳，D选项“But the result proves far from satisfactory（但结果远非令人满意）”中的but为关键信息，且表达的内容为“结果并不令人满意”符合语境。故选D项。
38．根据空前中的“The Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of a high-probability behavior can make a low-probability behavior more likely.（Premack 原则是一种行为策略，它指出高概率行为的存在可以使低概率行为更有可能发生）”可知，此处讲述的内容为Premack principle的介绍，其中的behavioral以及behavior与G选项“In other words，to enact a new behavior，attach it to a well-established behavior（换句话说，要制定新行为，请将其附加到已建立的行为上）”中的behavior所指性质相同，且根据 in other words 可知，该选项是对空前内容的解释。故选G项。
39．根据空格所处的位置可知，此处是对该段的总结，结合空前的“The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self-motivating talk.（关键是它让行动滚动起来，没有太多的思考或自我激励的谈话）”可知，让这种行动滚动起来不需要太多的思考，也就是成为一种习惯，C选项“Overtime，it becomes routine as well（随着时间的推移，它也变成了一种惯例）”可知，久而久之，这就成为一种惯例，与上文内容吻合。故选C项。
40．根据空格所在的位置可知， 此处应为本段的主题句， 与上文中的小标题“Take advantage of the Premack Principle（利用普雷马克原理）”句式结构相同，应为祈使句，根据空后的“Let＇s face it，no matter how much you set an intention, if there's no enjoyment once you start, it will likely fall by the wayside. So，find a path you enjoy that will bring the same results.（让我们面对现实吧，无论你设定了多少意图，如果一旦你开始就没有享受，它很可能会被搁置一旁）”可知，一开始没有享受到快乐的计划，很可能就搁置到了一边，所以找到一条自己喜欢的路，得到的会是同样的结果，B选项“One intention，multiple paths”讲述的是一个意图，多条路，符合文章的主题。故选B项。

书面表达：
第一节
Dear David,
How is everything going? Since you asked about the Red Cross First Aid Club that I'm in, let me tell you something about it.
The club was founded last year to promote health education among students. The members meet every other week to take courses or take part in voluntary services. In fact, the pictures I sent you were taken when I was performing CPR on a dummy（人体模型）.
I have gained a lot from the club. It has taught me some life-saving skills. Moreover, it provides me with a chance to see the medical professionals work up close, whose profound knowledge impresses me a lot. On top of that, I have learnt that life can be fragile so we should respect it and cherish every day.
What clubs are you in? Write to me and tell me anything that you find interesting in your clubs! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写：
Paragraph 1:
She picked the phone up and I could tell it was bad news from her family. When Kim hung up, she buried her face in her hands, her body shaking as she sobbed. Her dad was badly ill in hospital. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. I walked towards her and patted her on the back. Obviously, my pat was of little comfort. Instead, she threw herself onto the bed and cried into her pillow, sinking into her deep sorrow.
Paragraph 2:
I found myself lost for words and I decided to do something. I started to collect my odds and ends, clothes and shoes, swept the floor and tidied the table. I even cleaned her side. I was so absorbed that I didn't even notice Kim stop crying and sit up staring at me in disbelief. I stepped towards her, saying softly, “It will be OK." Kim reached her hand over to grasp mine, murmuring "Thank you?”. Suddenly, I realized the golden rule between friends was putting yourself into others' shoes.

Hi,Cathy,this is Pitt.I heard that during the Chinese Spring Festival holiday you won't go back to your hometown in the States and will go to Germany for some traveling and then come back to China. I'm leaving you this voice message to invite you to come to our family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, say, on Feb.4.My mother and I will start making dumplings around 4 p.m. and we'll probably start having dinner at 6 p.m.If you're interested in making dumplings, feel free to join us at 4 p.m. I'm afraid there will be very few buses or taxis running tomorrow afternoon. My father is happy to pick you up from your place. Just send me your address and tell me when you can come. After dinner, we will watch some Spring Festival shows on TV. The most interesting show starts at around 8 p.m. We usually stay up very late, so don't worry about staying too long. Just let me know when you want to go back to your place. Looking forward to your earliest reply.
