Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child,but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents? income,education and the amount of parent talk,Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,”Levine said in a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time.Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently,and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills.However,boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
24.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A.Building confidence.
B.Developing spatial skills.
C.Learning self-control.
D.Gaining high-tech knowledge.
25.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?
A.Parents? age.
B.Children?s imagination.
C.Parents? education.
D.Child-parent relationship.
26.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?
A.They play with puzzles more often.
B.They tend to talk less during the game.
C.They prefer to use more spatial language.
D.They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.A mathematical method.
B.A scientific study.
C.A woman psychologist.
D.A teaching program.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list,fur probably didn?t cross your mind.But some ecologists and fashion(时装) enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles.“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree,project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail.Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild.“The ecosystem down there can?t handle this non-native species(物种).It?s destroying the environment.It?s them or us,”says Michael Massimi,an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana.He says it?s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green,but he has no doubt about it.Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year,so part of Mouton?s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there?s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions.Model Paige Morgan says,“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that?s going to be a massive thing,at least here in New York.”Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable.She?s trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
28.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A.To promote guilt-free fur.
B.To expand the fashion market.
C.To introduce a new brand.
D.To celebrate a winter holiday.
29.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B.Nutria are an endangered species.
C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D.Nutria are illegally hunted.
30.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Boomed.
B.Became mature.
C.Remained stable.
D.Crashed.
31.What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A.It?s formal. B.It?s risky.
C.It?s harmful. D.It?s traditional.
D
I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiastic reader,sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties,I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother,the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library,where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them. 
I always read,using different voices,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now,I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist,I?ve found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can?t afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers,a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries,in their own way,help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
32.Which word best describes the author?s relationship with books as a child?
A.Cooperative. B.Uneasy.
C.Inseparable. D.Casual.
33.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Pleasure from working in the library.
B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D.A closer bond developed with the readers.
34.What does the author call on other writers to do?
A.Sponsor book fairs.
B.Write for social media.
C.Support libraries.
D.Purchase her novels.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Reading:A Source of Knowledge
B.My Idea about Writing
C.Library:A Haven for the Young
D.My Love of the Library

M:Hello,everyone.Today I?m going to talk about small talk,that is,short conversations people often have with strangers they meet.Such exchanges occur at bus stops,on buses,while waiting in line,almost anywhere that strangers gather close together.As a matter of fact,these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness.Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics.The topics may include weather,customer service,movies,TV shows,local sports or latest news.But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries,family life,religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations.Besides,it?s better to ask open-ended questions.If you ask visitors,“Do you like our city?” They may say simply,“Yes”.On the other hand,if you ask,“What do you think of our city?” They will have more freedom in answering.This type of question also shows that you are interested in them.If you appear interested in what people are saying,they?d feel more comfortable talking with you.

42.A　根据下文的the whole night可知,Nicolo结束了在工厂里整个晚上的工作,也就是下了夜班。finish doing sth.“完成做某事”。
【借题发挥】后接动词-ing形式的词语:

口诀:喜欢、考虑不可免,

44.B　根据语境可知,这些被拍卖的东西,是在火车上被发现的。
45.A　Nicolo注意到两幅画,他觉得如果把这两幅画放在餐桌上方,可能看起来很漂亮。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国人过新年使用的一些装饰品以及各自的含义和寓意。
61.celebration　考查名词。根据前面的不定冠词a可知,此处应用名词形式。
62.carries　考查动词时态。该句含有why引导的表语从句,从句的主语是decorating,所以此处谓语应用第三人称单数形式。
63.coming　考查非谓语动词。设空处做动词represent的宾语,所以用动词-ing形式。
64.than　考查固定搭配。根据前面的more以及后面的a symbol of good fortune and wealth可知,此处用than。more than在此处意为“不仅仅是”。
65.decorated　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,them与decorate之间是动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式。
66.Certainly　考查副词。设空处位于句首,修饰整个句子,应该用副词形式。
67.with　考查介词。be associated with是固定搭配,意为“与……有关”。
68.to care　考查非谓语动词。此处为“be+adj.+to do”结构,其中不定式做状语。
69.beautiful　考查形容词。由后面的long branches可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词。
70.the　考查冠词。设空处修饰后面的序数词first,所以用定冠词,特指“第一个”。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者给他的朋友回信。很高兴听说他的朋友在学功夫,也很期待能和他一起学习中国功夫。
第一处:what→which　考查定语从句。句意:谢谢你的来信,你的信真的让我很开心。分析句子,逗号后的从句为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词your letter,关系词在从句中做主语,指物,故将what改为which。
第二处:come后加to　考查固定搭配。句意:我很高兴知道你来中国在我家乡的一所学校学习功夫。此处come为不及物动词,后接宾语是需加相应介词。come to意为“来到”,故在come 和China之间加to。
第三处:surely→sure　考查形容词。句意:我相信你会玩得很开心的。分析句子成分可知,此处am后面需用形容词做表语,故将surely改为sure。
第四处:start→started　考查时态。句意:事实上,我七岁时就开始学功夫了。此处讲述的是7岁的时候的事情,动词应该用过去时,故将start改为started。
第五处:for→but/yet　考查连词。句意:但我早就不练习了。上文提到“我7岁开始学功夫”,后句提到“很久没有练习了”。此处前后应是转折关系,故将for改为but/yet。
第六处:vacations→vacation　考查名词。句意:幸运的是,两周后我就要回家过暑假。summer vacation意为“暑期”,故将vacations改为vacation。
第七处:such→so　考查副词。句意:然后我就可以抽出时间重新学习它,这样我们就可以每天一起练习。分析句子,此处应表示“以便;所以”,故将such改为so.
第八处:去掉on　考查介词。句意:我们就可以每天一起练习。介词on后接的是具体时间。every day意为“每一天”,前不能用有任何介词修饰,所以删除on。
第九处:yours→your/you　考查代词。句意:祝你在中国学习功夫好运。分析句子成分可知,此处为learning的逻辑主语,所以把yours改为your/you。
第十处:sooner→soon　考查固定短语。句意:希望尽快见到你。See you soon 意为“希望尽快见到你”,故将sooner改为soon。

My Weekend 
Last weekend,my classmates and I went to a farm to pick grapes.The grape farm is located at the foot of a hill,where lies a small river.We were stuck by the beauty of the scenery.
Grapes grown on this farm were big and sweet.We couldn?t help eating grapes while picking them,as we were told the grapes hadn?t been treated with pesticides.Meanwhile,several girls sang some sweet songs,which made us feel less exhausted.
On the way back home,we were worn out.However,we hoped we could have chances to come back again,because physical labor not only exercises our body,but also makes us cherish the fruits of labor.
