Every parent wants their children to develop well. Sometimes it seems that a child's game is empty entertainment and it would be better to replace it with something more useful. How-ever, for a child, play is the main way of interacting with the world, mastering new knowledge and skills.
The game forms a unique model of the world, redesigned in accordance with the needs and capabilities of the children. It reflects the real world and helps to master it. That is why it is so important to choose the right toys for your children.
For a child, any game is the same productive activity as work for an adult. And if the result of adult work is the produced “product”, for children, the result of the game is new knowledge about the world and a better understanding of how the world works. Interacting with other children during the game, the child develops his or her own style of behavior and communication. In short, play is critical to development because it is the way a child interacts with the world.
Through the game, children learn new skills and develop speech, thinking and logic, memory, attention and other mental functions. In games, children learn to follow the rules, control their behaviors, develop communication skills with peers and adults. Often the game becomes a way for children to cope with their difficult experiences and express their feelings of fear, anger, resentment, sadness and shame. The game also will bring pleasure, joy and a lot of other positive emotions to children- and the significance of this cannot be underestimated. Also, through the game, children learn to be proud of their success, which supports their self-esteem. Adequate self-esteem is the key to the full development of the individual.
The role of an adult in play is to support and encourage the child. This helps the child understand that his opinion is valuable, and his ideas and fantasies deserve respect.
24. What is the parents' view on playing a game?
A. It's not a good way of developing children.
B. It hits the enthusiasm of developing children.
C. It's a disaster while interacting with the world.
D. It's a traditional way of children's development.
25. What does the underlined word “product” in paragraph 3 refer to for children?
A. Reflection of work value. B. New knowledge and theory.
C. Output from hardworking. D. Wonderment from growth stage.
26. What can we learn about children from paragraph 4?
A. They'll know how to play a game.
B. They'll create rules of playing a game.
C. They'll benefit a lot from playing a game.
D. They'll share the experience of playing a game.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Change the Ways of Developing Life Skills
B. Build Important Life Skills Through Play
C. Test the Importance of Play on Life Skills
D. Keep Away from Play to Develop Children

If you've ever eaten a free doughnut (甜甜圈) on the first Friday in June, you’ve celebrated the Doughnut Lassies—whether you realized it or not. National Doughnut Day was established to honor the Salvation Army volunteers who fried sugary snacks for World War I soldiers on the front line.
When the US entered World War I in 1917, the Salvation Army, a charity organization, sent about 250 volunteers (who were mostly women) to France, where the American army was stationed. The plan was to bring treats and supplies as close to the front line as possible. But the closer the volunteers got to the action, the fewer resources they could access.
Margaret Sheldon and Helen Purviance were credited with bringing doughnuts to the Wester Front. They had a handful of ingredients, including flour, sugar, animal fats, baking powder and canned milk. Doughnuts were one of the few sweet foods they could make without an oven, and once they had a fire hot enough to heat the oil, they could fry them up fast. The women had the pan to cook them in, but for other parts, they had to get creative. For exam-ple, grape juice bottles became rolling pins (擀面杖) when necessary.
Sheldon and Purviance's pan could fit seven doughnuts at a time, and on day one, they made just 150 doughnuts for the group of 800 men. The soldiers even fought over a doughnut. Then they made some changes to their operation， and eventually made 5, 000 doughnuts a day. The snacks were so popular that the volunteers earned the nickname “Doughnut Las-sies”，while the soldiers they served were nicknamed “Doughboys”.
The Doughnut Lassies' impact didn't end with World War I. The American soldiers’ experiences overseas made doughnuts a commonly eaten food for them back home.
28. What is the purpose of the Salvation Army in sending the volunteers?
A. To learn about life on the front line.
B. To provide French soldiers with food.
C. To bring food and supplies to the front line.
D. To increase the number of soldiers on the front line.
29. Why did the volunteers decide to make doughnuts rather than other foods?
A. Soldiers preferred doughnuts.
B. They were best at making doughnuts.
C. Doughnuts were their best choice then.
D. Doughnuts allowed them to be creative.
30. How did Sheldon and Purviance probably react on day one?
A. They were guilty.
B. They were confused.
C. They became a bit angry.
D. They were greatly encouraged.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Doughnuts were more popular out of the US.
B. The American soldiers got tired of doughnuts.
C. The Doughnut Lassies' impact didn't last long.
D. Doughnuts became popular in the US after the war.
D
Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully using a robot to help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work. This was one of the key results in a new study that also found both the youngsters and their instructors valued the positive classroom contributions made by the robot.
“Overall, the findings demonstrate that the robot has a positive effect on students,” said Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn, a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Educators have in recent years explored the use of social robots to help students learn, but most often, their research has focused on children with autism (孤独症). As a result, little work has been done on the use of socially assistive robots for students with learning disabilities.
Along with two other Waterloo engineering researchers and three experts from the Learn-ing Disabilities Society in Vancouver, Dautenhahn decided to change this, conducting a series of tests with a small humanoid (仿人的) robot called QTrobot.
Dautenhahn said the robot's ability to perform gestures using its head and hands, accompanied by its speech and facial features, makes it very suitable for children with learning disabilities.
Building on promising earlier research, the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities into two groups. In one group, students worked one on-one with an instructor only. In the other group, the students worked one on-one with an instructor and a QTrobot. In the latter group, the instructor used a tablet to direct the robot, which then autonomously performed various activities using its speech and gestures. While the instructor controlled the sessions, the robot took over at certain times to lead the students.
Besides introducing the session，the robot set goals and provided self- regulating strate-gies, if necessary. If the learning process was getting off track, the robot used strategies such as games, riddles and physical movements to redirect the students back to the task.
“Students who worked with the robot,” Dautenhahn said, “were generally more engaged with their tasks and could complete their tasks at a higher rate compared to the students who weren't assisted by a robot.”
32. What can we know about Dautenbahn's research?
A. It seeks to provide a treatment for autism.
B. It attempts to replace teachers with robots in teaching.
C. It intends to educate students to be creative and productive.
D. It studies the effects of robots on students with learning disabilities.
33. What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?
A. The process of the research.
B. The role the robot played.
C. The outcomes of the two groups.
D. The range of the participants involved.
34. How did the QTrobot help distracted students concentrate in class?
A. It warned the student directly by speech.
B. It assigned tasks for the student to complete.
C. It informed the instructor to intervene in the learning process.
D. It attracted the student's attention through interesting activities.
35. What does Dautenhahn's research imply?
A. Robots promote students' academic performance greatly.
B. There is great potential for using robots in the education system.
C. Teachers are defeated by robots when it comes to motivating students.
D. Students are becoming more independent with the assistance of robots.

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. 36 There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition is important for good health. 37 Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
38 If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time, a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. 39
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. 40 If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan. Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but also enjoyable and interesting.
If everybody eats the right foods, gets plenty of sleep and exercises regularly, the world will be a happier and healthier place.
A. It also improves your heart and lungs.
B. Keeping on reading does make a difference.
C. Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important.
D. Develop a regular running habit and keep a balanced diet.
E. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”.
F. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.

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。
Bella, a very cute squirrel, had a smooth start to life. But when she reached the age of four weeks old, everything changed. On that day, she was playing alone, when a fierce eagle (老鹰) dived from the sky, attacked and badly wounded her.
Because of this deadly hit, Bella had no chance of surviving her wounds in the wild. Luckily, a warm-hearted hunter Ruby Harrison turned up. She gently hugged Bella, being afraid to hurt her and took her home. Ruby not only gave Bella a new home, but also a family with three other adopted squirrels. Amazingly, the four lovely creatures lived and played in harmony quickly. Day by day, thanks to the considerate care of Ruby, all of them grew strong. Of course, Bella also recovered gradually. But Ruby didn't want to domesticate (驯养) any of them. “They are part of the wild rather than the pets. They belong to a wider home- nature, and they should return to their own world,” Ruby said.
Although unwilling to depart, it was time to say good -bye to each other. In April 2009, with her eyes watery, Ruby saw them disappear into the trees and never expected to see them often. Then initially, the other three squirrels came back for a treat once and stopped coming by, but Bella was different. She seemed to have a strong connection with the Harrisons that kept her visiting almost every day. Thus, they were tightly tied by an invisible bond.
In the past ten years since her release, it was not just Ruby herself who got Bella's reach. “Bella sits right at the front door to look in for someone's attention,” Ruby described. “My husband rushes out of the door to be greeted and hopefully runs back inside to a big bowl of nuts for her.”
More amazingly, this spring came with a surprise. Bella came around again, with her extended family, her three babies waiting for someone to notice.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After a while, Ruby opened the door, only to find them.

Hearing the cry, Ruby's husband came out.

W: When did you start to volunteer?
M: When I retired in 2014, I found myself with more time to spare and I was looking for things to do. So I began volunteering the next year.
W: There are many ways we can occupy ourselves as we get older. We can start new hobbies; we can travel. Why did you choose to volunteer?
M: You know there’s always someone out there that needs your help and seniors have valuable experience and knowledge that can be put to good use.
W: I can't agree more. Are there many seniors out there volunteering?
M: Absolutely. There were a large number of senior volunteers in the United States last year alone.
W: What volunteer activities do you participate in?
M: I used to offer food to the homeless at the Food Bank. But now I' m doing teaching in local schools.
W: What do you get from volunteering?
M: I gain a sense of purpose. It just feels good to be needed.
W: Thank you again, David.
M: You’re welcome. And thank you for inviting me to the show.

W: Thank you, Ron. I'm Katie Gill here at the corner of Greenwood and Pine, where the heat of the fire can still be felt some 100 feet away. The fire is said to have started inside the local store and it has spread to the surrounding apartment buildings. As we speak, fire fighters and the police are helping those who could not make it outside without assistance. Though many seem to be safe, there is not much relief left to the people of Battery Park. According to the fire department, the fire began early last night after the bakery closed. There seems to be a problem with the water system in the area and it is stopping the fire prevention system from turning on. Many have come from local areas with food and water to help. As far as we know, no one has been injured yet by the fire because most people have known to leave the building hours ago, but as these lucky people stand outside of their burning homes, they do not feel calm. This will be an August that the people of Battery Park will not forget any time. Now back to you in the studio.

Dear Allen,
I'm writing to invite you to join me to attend the first outdoor sculpture exhibition in our city, which will open next Saturday at Central Park.
During the exhibition， as well as admiring more than 150 sculptures selected by 100 sculptors, we can listen to the explanations of professional volunteers. More importantly, it will be a valuable place where we can share ideas with others. If it appeals to you, shall we meet at the gate of the park at 9:00 am next Saturday?
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文:
After a while, Ruby opened the door, only to find them. “Wow!” she slightly walked to them, bent down and asked, “Are they all your lovely babies? Can I touch them?” Bella seemed to understand what Ruby meant. She kissed one of her babies, and then looked up at Ruby as if to approve of her request. Gently and cautiously, Ruby held the furry creatures one by one, each giving a kiss. “Mike! Come out! Quickly!” Ruby couldn't wait to share the joy with her husband.
Hearing the cry, Ruby's husband came out. He was so shocked that he stood there, freezing like a log. Bella jumped to him, climbed to his shoulder and rubbed his face with her soft fur. Mike stroked her affectionately. Suddenly, he put down Bella softly and rushed into the room like an arrow from a string. Then returned Mike, but this time two bowls of nuts were in his hands. Seeing the four enjoying their feast, Ruby and Mike bloomed with a brilliant smile. How harmonious everything was!
