Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12
Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to recreate dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day show what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to decide how these huge creatures looked.
Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13
This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration — thousands of years ago, when people began star observation — and forward to today's search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.

B
Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.
40. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. advantage B. attraction
C. adaption D. attempt
41. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.
A. attract people to buy their products
B. provide the latest information
C. improve people’s quality of life
D. deal with cultural diseases
42. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.
A. consider too much technology wonderful
B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D. may enjoy life better without overused technology
43. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical.
C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
【答案】40. B 41. A 42. D 43. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。高科技在我们生活当中广泛应用，作者观察到这一生活现象，作者针对这种现象做了剖析和分析。
【40题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段People have been influenced to become technology addicted可知，人们已经被影响到对科技上瘾。所以一项研究发现，人们在抗拒社交媒体的吸引力时，比抗拒睡眠、香烟和酒精时更困难。故划线词的意思是“ 吸引力”。故选B项。

Body Language in the United States
Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males don’t hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person’s arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the arm palm (手掌) facing outward, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, palm outward, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean “no”.
When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
In the United States, it’s important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don’t make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conservation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arm’s length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.
In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger at them.
People may show that they like children by patting them on the top of the head.
44. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that in the United States ________.
A. males begin to hug each other now
B. a man usually kisses a woman for greeting
C. people only use right hands to shake hands
D. people wave good-bye as people in many other countries do
45. Some women don’t like to be offered a seat by men because ________.
A. they think sitting is harmful for health

My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine — my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially (起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family’s current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn’t where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.
Facebook has played a crucial (决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
48. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A. the writer’s family are immigrants to America
B. the writer’ family came to America for a better future
C. the writer’ parents’ didn’t want their children to get a university degree
D. the writer’ parents pushed their children away from each other
49. The writer’s parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A. they were strangers in America
B. they suffered from a culture shock
C. the local people disliked their family
D. different countries have different lives
50. The writer didn’t return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A. he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B. he didn’t graduate from university
C. he found his opportunity in Washiongton State
D. his father couldn’t find him a job in South Texas
51. What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A. The writer’s parents’ life in Texas.
B. How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C. What the writer’s brothers’ and sisters’ lives are like.
D. How the writer’s family communicate through Facebook.
【答案】48. A 49. B 50. C 51. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文写了这样一种现象，我的父母尽可能的想让我们努力学习，获得学位证书，想让我们更好的未来，却在同时我们也不得不离家越来越远，无论什么样的选择都会让我们离家越来越远。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine — my parents, four boys and three girls. (90年代初，我的父母从墨西哥搬到了德克萨斯州南部，希望他们一家九口有一个更光明的未来——我的父母，四个男孩和三个女孩)”可推知，作者的家人是来到美国的移民。故选A项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Initially (起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. (起初，我父母很难适应美国的文化和生活方式。他们来自一种文化，在这种文化中，孩子们一起长大，一起上学，大多数时候住在同一个社区。从我们的角度来看，美国的家庭价值观有点不同)”可知，美国文化与作者父母的本国文化不一样，作者父母遭受了文化冲击，所以很难适应美国的生活。故选B项。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn’t where my opportunity took me. (2010年，我毕业于印第安纳州的贝瑟尔学院，为了履行偿还学生贷款的经济责任，我搬到了华盛顿州，在Experience Mission工作。理想情况下，我的父母希望我回到德克萨斯州南部的家，但我的机会并不是在那里)”可知，作者毕业后没有回到德克萨斯州南部工作，因为作者在华盛顿州找到了工作机会。故选C项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Facebook has played a crucial (决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other. (脸书在我们生活在不同地方的交流方式中发挥了至关重要的作用。自从我们都使用Facebook以来，我们找到了一个连接的地方，感觉就像我们在一起一样)”可知，下文将讨论作者全家如何通过Facebook进行交流联系。故选D项。

For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.
Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical(光学的) instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.
In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter(散开) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets(子弹).
Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component(组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.
52. As time goes by, glass ________.
A. is regarded as transparent(透明的)
B. is used to make things look pleasant
C. is seen as more than decoration
D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers
53. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?
A. The war blocked the way of glass import.
B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.
C. They refused to use the European glass.
D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.
54. Why does the author tell us the legend?
A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.
B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.
C. To give some information about hard glass.
D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.
55. Why are new uses of glass being developed?
A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.
B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.
C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.
D. Because glass is more and more widely used.
【答案】52. C 53. A 54. C 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了玻璃的发展史。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一句“For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through.”（几千年来，人们认为玻璃是一种好看的东西。直到最近，他们才开始认为这是一件需要仔细研究的事情）可知，玻璃发展到现代才摆脱仅用在装饰方面。故选C。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own.”（然而，在战争期间，美国人被迫自己制造玻璃）可知，美国在二战期间自己研制玻璃的原因是世界大战阻止了玻璃的进口，故选A。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glass maker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years”（传说一位罗马人发明了一种非常坚硬的玻璃，他将自己的发现展示给了皇帝。当皇帝看到玻璃时，他担心它会变得比金银更值钱，使他的财宝一文不值。因此，他杀死了玻璃制造者，这个秘密几百年来一直没有被发现）可知，作者讲述Legend是给一些关于质地坚硬的玻璃的信息。故选C。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component(组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.”（有新的用途正在开发中，因为玻璃最大的优点是它的组成部分便宜，可以在世界各地找到。）可知，玻璃被开发出新用途的原因是它不贵，而且容易获得，故选B。

Dear Laura,
Thanks for let us stay at your seaside house.
Now, you might have heard from his neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, was playing football in the front of your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson’s house. Tom and I apologize to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice to people.
【答案】1.let→letting
2.which→what
3.在a walk前加for
4.去掉front前的the
5.many→much
6.angrily→angry
7.window→windows
8.apologize→apologized
9.but→and
10.repair→repaired
【解析】
【导语】这是一封书信。主要讲的是作者和家人住在朋友家海边的房子时，作者的小儿子汤姆在朋友家门前踢足球时打破了威尔逊先生家的一扇窗户。汤姆和作者为这件不幸的事向所有的邻居道了歉。
【详解】1.考查动名词。句意：谢谢你让我们住在你的海边别墅。for是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故将let改为letting。
2.考查宾语从句。句意：你可能已经从他的邻居那里听说了周六晚上发生的事。“happened on Saturday evening”是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，句子表示“你可能已经从他的邻居那里听说了周六晚上发生的事”，因此用what引导宾语从句，故将which改为what。
3.考查介词。句意：当我出去散步时，我的小儿子汤姆正在你家门前踢足球。go/be out for a walk是固定短语，意为“去散步”，故在a walk前加for。
4.考查固定短语。句意：当我出去散步时，我的小儿子汤姆正在你家门前踢足球。in front of意为“在……的前面”，是在外部；而in the front of表示在内部的前面，此处在别人家门前踢球是在外部，因此应用in front of，故去掉front前的the。
5.考查much与many的区别。句意：他制造了这么大的噪音，邻居们都很生气。noise是不可数名词，前面用much修饰，故将many改为much。
6.考查形容词。句意：他制造了这么大的噪音，邻居们都很生气。作got的表语应该用形容词angry。故将angrily改为angry。
7.考查名词的复数。句意：更糟糕的是，汤姆打破了威尔逊先生家的一扇窗户。one of后要跟名词的复数形式，故将window改为windows。
8.考查时态。句意：汤姆和我为发生的不幸事向所有的邻居道歉，并答应尽快把破窗户修好。apologize和promised是并列的动作，promised是过去式，表明句子时态是一般过去时，apologize也应该用过去式，故将apologize改为apologized。
9.考查连词。句意：汤姆和我为发生的不幸事向所有的邻居道歉，并答应尽快把破窗户修好。apologize和promised是并列的动作，且句子是肯定句，因此应用and连接前后两句话，故将but改为and。
10.考查过去分词。句意：汤姆和我为发生的不幸事向所有的邻居道歉，并答应尽快把破窗户修好。have sth. done是固定短语，意为“使某物被……”，故将repair改为repaired。
