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 analysed 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 7girls,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.21.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.22.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?A.Parents age.B.Childrens imagination.C.Parents education.D.Child-parent relationship.23.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.24.What is the text mainly about?8A.A mathematical method.B.A scientific study.C.A woman psychologist.D.A teaching programme.BEach year there are at least five million people around the world who develop serious flu (流感),and it causes almost half a million deaths.When someone we know gets the flu virus,we expect them to be very careful not to pass it on to others.Doctors and nurses working with flu patients also need to protect themselves from the virus.But what is the best way to do this?This is the question that flu expert Professor Jonathan Van-Tam at Nottingham University is trying to answer.He wants to find out how flu is transmitted,so that he can stop doctors and nurses getting sick.Van-Tam explains their method,“There are 41 volunteers in my experiment.Some healthy volunteers are made to get flu first.When they show symptoms,other volunteers,usually called recipients (接受者),enter the house.Everyone lives together in the small space for four days.Some of the recipients wear face masks,and wash their hands every 15 minutes,but some have no protection.In this way we can study who catches the flu and which ways of transmitting flu are important.During the four days when they are in contact with the virus,and for the ten days after that,the flu recipients are checked regularly.”The experiment is not simple and it is very expensive.It is difficult to design correctly,and it is also difficult to plan and carry out.Just one study like this takes about 18 months to organise and needs hundreds of people working on it.But Van-Tam believes it is worth because the 9results will help to decide what type of protection is needed for people working in hospitals with large numbers of flu patients around the world.And perhaps it could reduce the number of deaths from flu each year.25.Which word can replace the underlined word “transmitted” in paragraph 2?A.Solved.B.Passed.C.Formed. D.Stopped.26.What is the main purpose of this study?A.To find out who gets the flu easily.B.To reduce the number of people who die of flu.C.To test the medicines for people who develop serious flu.D.To find the best way to protect doctors and nurses from the flu.27.According to the text,which of the statements is true?A.This type of study lasts 18 months.B.The experiment is neither simple nor expensive.C.Wearing masks is the best way to protect people from getting flu.D.Recipients are divided into at least 2 groups to perform the experiment.CThere are many colours in nature.But do you think that a colour has weight?I think youll say “no”.But Im afraid you are wrong.If you dont believe it,you may do a small experiment.10First,put two objects with the same weight into two boxes.Then cover the boxes.Third,wrap (包;裹) one box with a red piece of paper,the other one with a white piece of paper.OK.Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one.It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so?A scientist found that different colours have different weights in mans mind.That is to say,every colour has its own weight in our mind.The scientist told us that colours also have smell.Can you smell the colour?Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every colour stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength(波长).It reaches our brain through sense organs (器官).According to this discovery,scientists say that people accept the colours they like,and refuse the colours they hate.So your body and mind will be healthy with the colours you like.Or youll be nervous or even get ill.For example,you like blue and hate red.If you stay in a room with red windows,wallpaper and furniture for two hours,youll feel you have been there for four hours.But if the room is blue,youll feel you have been there for only an hour.And,if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room,his temperature will rise.That means our body temperature will change with different colours.28.From the experiment,we know that . A.the two boxes have the same weightB.colours can change the weight of an objectC.the red paper is heavier than the white paperD.colours have different weights in peoples mind29.From the fourth paragraph,we can infer . 11A.the smell of colours is changeable (可变的)B.people can sense the light from coloursC.people can smell the colours through the noseD.all the colours have the same smell for the blind30.Which of the following is true?A.White colour is heavier than red colour.B.People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.C.People may get ill if they refuse the colours they dont like.D.Peoples body temperature will change with different colours.31.The passage is probably . A.a short novelB.a news reportC.a science reportD.an advertisementD3-D printers are very hot today.They are being put to all kinds of uses,ranging from creating car models for movies to architectural models.However,none of these ideas are as shocking as the one suggested by Anjan Contractor,who believes that they will be the key to ending world hunger.12According to some experts,world population will increase to 10-12 billion by the end of this century.This means that food will become very expensive and possibly,even out of reach,for billions of people.This is where 3-D printing may save the day.Anjan thinks that the only way to solve the problem will be to equip every kitchen with a 3-D printer and print out meals from tubes of powder and oil.He believes that these meals with a shelf life of over 30 years would result in less food wastage.Most important of all,it would be easier to make food from things that we now do not consider edible(可食用的).A great example of that is the protein from meat.Most experts believe that as the population grows,the supply is not going to be enough to feed everyone.Anjan believes that we could easily get the same protein from insects.Though all this futuristic food may sound unappealing,the scientists believe that when faced with a terrible food crisis,it will be very welcomed.While this may sound a little difficult to believe,Anjan seems to have convinced the scientists at NASA,who are looking for a solution to feeding astronauts when they go on really long missions,like the one being planned to Mars.They gave Anjan $125,000 to start building the first real 3-D printer that creates the food.Anjan is not the only one with this idea.A group led by Professor Hod Lipson has been experimenting with this idea since 2011 and has even succeeded in printing out cube-shaped creations from powdered milk and cookies with limited sugar!For more information click here.32.The passage mainly talks about . 13A.whether 3-D printers will have a bright futureB.3-D printers will be used in every field in futureC.3-D printers will solve the problem of the increasing populationD.whether 3-D printers will be the key to ending world hunger33.It can be inferred that . A.people get unappealing futuristic cube-shaped creationsB.3-D printers can only create powdered milk and cookiesC.futuristic food that contains protein can be made by 3-D printers from insectsD.insects will be the most popular food in the future,though unappealing now34.Which group of people are mostly in need of 3-D printers?A.The people in Africa.B.The scientists and researchers.C.The astronauts working in space.D.The farmers and off-land workers.35.Where would you be most likely to find the text?A.On a notice board.B.In a college newspaper.C.In an institution brochure.14D.On a high technology website.第二节(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。Today,people use the Internet to shop,play games,make friends and read the news.Many young people cant imagine life without it.36 In fact,the Internet has been used for a much longer time than most people think. In 1957,the United States was in the middle of the Cold War.The Soviet Union had sent up the first satellite,named Sputnik,into space.This meant the Soviets were ahead of the US in technology.Americans were afraid.37 One of the ideas was a network that would let people across the country communicate by using computers. 38 It was first tried out in 1969.For another twenty years,it was used only by scientists who worked with the US government and by some engineers.Then,in 1990,the army of America gave the control of the Internet to the National Science Foundation.39 The biggest change in the way that people use the Internet came in 1992.For the first time,the Internet was opened to the general public,creating what is now known as the World Wide Web.40 Today,no one government controls the Internet and it just gets bigger and bigger.It makes our world different. A.The network took more than ten years to develop.B.Soon,people began finding all kinds of different things they could do on the Internet.C.Most older people,on the other hand,think the Internet is only 10 or 15 years old.15D.People began to be fond of the Internet.E.They didnt know what to do.F.The Internet then became available to colleges all over the United States and to scientists across Europe.G.Scientists in the army of America started developing ideas for protecting the country.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分 30 分)第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Gallego went blind when he was nine years old from a disease.That did not 41 him from enjoying the World Cup in real time at a restaurant in Bogota.Gallego was one of several people over the weekend for Colombias game against Poland in Group H.Unlike the other customers in the room,Gallego is 42 and blind.His friend Cesar Daza,43,did not want the man to miss out on the fun,so he used his own hand gestures he 44 to communicate to Gallego every kick of the ball. In the45 posted online,Daza is seen facing Gallego with a small soccer board between them.As Daza watches the game,he seizes Gallegos hands and 46 to him whats happening.He uses the soccer board as a way to 47 to Gallego where the ball is on the field.As Dazas hands move 48 back and forth across the board,Gallego smiles.When Colombia 49 a goal,both men jump up out of their chairs and hug as everyone erupts in applause.It was evident that Gallego understood the 50 sweeping through the restaurant. 16Gallego and Daza met three years ago and became friends.When they realised they were both huge soccer fans,Daza learned51 language and came u
