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 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
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 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 boy 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.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B

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 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 fashion. Morgan says,”To give people a guilt-free
option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 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 trying to
come up with a lable 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 abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s
traditional.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的
皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地,因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措,科学家们也
对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。
【28 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 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.得知,美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀,时装秀上
展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服,项目总监 Cree McCree 说:“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破
坏大片湿地,否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”,可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨
大的破坏,这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选 A。
【29 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段 Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters
$5 a tail.得知,科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们 5 美元,可
以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡,。故选 A。
【30 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段 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. 得知,毛皮贸易使海狸
鼠受到了几十年的控制,但是当海狸鼠市场在 20 世纪 80 年代末崩溃时,这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据 but 判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海
狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词
collapsed 是和 D.crashed 倒闭的意思最相近。故选 D。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 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 in New York. ” 得知,为了给人们一种无罪的选择,人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆,
我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情,根据模特摩根所说得知,在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。
故选 B。
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 form 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 1 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
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
本文是夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者是一个热情的读者,孩提时热衷读书,第一份工作在图
书馆。有了孩子以后,一家人去图书馆读书,阅读的习惯代代传承下去。作为小说家,作者
呼吁其他作家支持图书馆,宣传图书馆。
【32 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的 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.(我一直是一个热情的读者,孩
提时,有时候每天读多达三本书。故事对我来说就像空气,而其他孩子则打球或参加聚会。
我通过从图书馆借阅来的书籍经历冒险)可推断,作者小时候与书是密不可分的。故选 C。
【33 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文 As I grew older and became a mother 可知,我长大了成了一位母亲,结
合下文 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(我有几个孩子,书是我们娱乐的主要来源。对于我们来说,坐上
车去当地的图书馆是件大事,在那里我的孩子们可以挑选要阅读的书或者想让我给他们读的
书)可推断,作者成了母亲以后,带着孩子去图书馆,孩子挑选书籍来阅读,或者作者读给他
们听,因此可知图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义,阅读的乐趣在家庭中代代相传”。
故选 B。
【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的 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.( 我认为所有的作家都应该在他们可以的时候以
有意义的方式支持图书馆。鼓励读者使用图书馆。在社交媒体上分享图书馆公告。可以的时
候常去图书馆,谈论图书馆)可推断,作者呼吁其他的作家们支持图书馆。故选 C。
【35 题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,文章讲述了作者是一名热情地读者,孩提时喜欢阅读,工作在
图书馆。有了孩子以后,一家人去图书馆读书,阅读的习惯代代传承下去,作为小说家,作
者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆,宣传图书馆。因此推断全文围绕“作者对图书馆的爱”展开讲
述。故 D 项“我对图书馆的爱”为最佳标题。故选 D。

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用一些植物、水果和鲜花装饰中国新年的寓意。
【61 题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国新年是一个庆祝冬天的结束和春天的开始。不定冠词 a 后接名词形式。
故填 celebration。
【62 题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:这就是为什么用植物、水果和鲜花装饰具有特殊意义的原因。这是一
个表语从句,从句主语为动名词短语 decorating with plants, fruits and flowers,所以谓语动词用
单数形式。故填 carries。
【63 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们代表着大地的复苏和对新开端的美好祝愿。句中谓语动词为
represent,所以这里为非谓语动词。名词 earth 与 come back to 之间为主动关系,所以用现在分
词作后置定语。故填 coming。
【64 题详解】
考查短语。句意:桔子树不仅仅是装饰品;more than 不仅仅,不只是。故填 than。
【65 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们是很好的礼物,你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和好运的信息。
句中 them 指代前句中的 orange trees,与 decorate 之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补
足语。故填 decorated。
【66 题详解】
考查副词。句意:当然在假期期间,这种植物是绝对必要的事物。介词短语做时间状语,因
此只有改变成副词才能复合句子结构,用副词形式做状语。故填 Certainly。
【67 题详解】
考查短语。句意:竹类植物与健康、富足和幸福的家庭联系在一起。be associated with 与……
相联系。故填 with。【68 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们很容易照顾,也很适合作为礼物。这里考查“be +形容词 + to
do”结构。故填 to care。
【69 题详解】
考查形容词。句意:美丽的长枝上覆盖着粉红色的花蕾,做成漂亮的装饰。修饰名词
branches,用形容词形式。故填 beautiful。
70 题详解】
考查冠词。句意:雪还在融化时,梅花是第一个开花的。这里表示特指,所以序数词 first 前
要加定冠词 the。故填 the。

Thank you for your letter, what really made me happy. I’m glad to know that you’ve come China
to learn kung fu in a school in my hometown. I’m surely you’ll have a good time. Actually, I start to
learn kung fu when I was seven years old, for I have long been out of practice. Luckily, I will go home
in two weeks for summer vacations. Then I can spare some time to learn it again, such that we can
practice together on every day. Best of luck with yours learning kung fu in China. See you sooner.
【答案】1.what→which
2.come 后加 to
3.surely→sure
4.start→started
5.for→but / yet
6.vacations→vacation
7.such→so
【8.去掉 on
9.yours→your / you
10.sooner→soon
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。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。
【详解】1.考查非限制性定语从句。句意:谢谢你的来信,你的信真正让我开心。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,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,that
不能引导非限制性定语从句。故将 what 改为 which.
2. 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。分析句子,
此处 come 为不及物动词,后接宾语是需加相应介词。come to 译为“来到”是故定短语。故在 come
和 China 之间加 to。
3. 考查形容词。句意:我相信你会玩得很开心的。分析句子,此处 be 动词 am 后面需用形容
词作表语。故将 surely 改为 sure。
4.考查时态。句意:事实上,我七岁时就开始学功夫了。分析句子,此处动词 start 讲述的是 7
岁的时候,动词应该用过去时。故将 start 改为 started。
5.考查连词。句意:但我早就不练习了。分析句子,此处前句提到“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。
6.考查不可数名词。句意:幸运的是,两周后我就要回家过暑假。分析句子,vacation 译为“假
期”是个不可数名词,后面不可加 s 表示复数。Summer vacation 译为“暑期”是固定搭配。故将
vacations 改为 vacation。
7.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.
8.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 译为“每
一天”,前不能用有任何介词修饰。故 on 多余,应去掉。
9.考查代词。句意:祝你在中国学习功夫好运。分析句子,best luck of you 译为“祝你好运”是
固定短语。故将 your 改为 you。/句中的 yours 为名词性物主代词,不可修饰后面的动名词。
故将 yours 改为 your。
10.考查固定短语。句意:希望尽快见到你。See you soon 译为“希望尽快见到你”,是固定短语。此处不需用比较级。故将 sooner 改为 soon。
