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 betweenages 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
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据原文第二段Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, foundchildren who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills.中的spatial skills可知拼图游戏可以培养孩子们的数学空间能力。故选B。
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
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据原文中第二段中Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.可知Levine在设计实验前控制了父母收入、受教育水平、谈话数量3项变量。选项中只有父母受教育水平有涉及,故选C。
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.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据原文第五段中However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls.可知男孩比女孩更倾向于玩复杂的拼图。D项的tougher是对原文more complex的同义替换。ABC选项均未在原文中体现,故选D。
27.What is the text mainly about?
A. A mathematical method
B. A scientific studyC. A woman psychologist
D. A teaching program
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了一个关于拼图游戏对孩子空间能力开发的研究。A选项数学方法作为题目以偏概全。C选项女性心理学家只是本实验的研究者。D 项教育项目文中未涉及。由文章最后一段可知,该发现发表在Developmental Science 杂志,是一篇科学研究,故选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 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.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据题干关键词“New Orleans and Brooklyn”定位至第二段。并由“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur —unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”可知,如果不理解海狸鼠对环境的破坏来谈论“无罪皮毛”是疯狂的。换言之,海狸鼠对环境破坏较大,因此使用此生物的皮毛也不谓之过。再根据上文,很多生态学家和时装爱好者正尝试着将海狸鼠皮毛带回到市场中来,可见“fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn”是对上文“海狸鼠皮毛重回市场”的具体例证,因此时装秀的开展是为了开拓这种皮毛的市场。B范围太大,CD属于无中生有,故本题选A。
29.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B.Nuria are an endangered species.C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D.Nuria are illegally hunted.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段科学家们的所说的话“the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”和第四段的“The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species”。可知,海狸鼠对环境的破坏相当的大,以至于自然生态都不能自己处理这种非本地的生物。B选项的“endangered”表示海狸鼠是濒危动物,与原文第五段“multipled”相反,CD选项无中生有。正确答案选A。
30.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed.
B. Became mature.
C. Remained stable.
D. Crashed.
【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题。由“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”可知,“collapsed”与“multiplied”是反义词,“multiplied”是迅速增加的意思,所以collapsed是迅速减少的意思,故选D选项。
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.
【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据Morgans所说,“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”中的massive可知,让人们拥有“穿皮革而不被诟病”这一观念至少在纽约将会是一件很困难的事,故答案选B选项。另外根据“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”与Morgan的话间没有转折词可知他们的观点是同义的,由Jennifer Anderson的观点也可以选出B选项。
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 theexcitement 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
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。A项:合作的;B项:不舒服的,心神不宁的;C项:密不可分的;D项:随意的,非正式的,偶然的。根据文章第一段第三句Stories were like air to me. 可知,作者将书籍比喻为空气,二者之间的关系是紧密连接,分不开的。故选C。
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
【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。第三段下划线勾出的an added meaning意思是额外的意义,而此一整段都在讲和孩子一起去图书馆阅读的愉快经历,故此额外意义是指在家庭中传递的阅读乐趣。
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
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第七段Libraries, in their own way, help fight book privacy (盗版行为)and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. 可知,图书馆打击书籍盗版行为,作者认为所有的作者都应该在力所能及的范围内,以一种显著的方式支持图书馆。故选C。
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】D
【解析】主旨大意题。文章主旨为作者对图书馆的热爱,故答案选D。文章未强调从阅读中获得知识,故不选A。本篇的主题不是写作,故不选B。本篇主要强调的并非阅读对年轻人的意义,因此不选C。

G.An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform 【答案】36.D37.A38.G39.B40.F
36.D
【解析】细节句。根据前一句In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play.在亚洲,信息平台发展非常迅速,在人们的工作和娱乐中,有着数亿的用户。以及后文76% percent of employees in some western countries. 可知,这些平台在全世界范围流行。故答案为D。
37.A
【解析】细节句。根据逗号后半句encouraging better and more frequent communication鼓励更好、更频繁的交流。对应A选项中的more conversational更健谈的,且都为比较级。本题易错选F,但出题句主语应该为前一句的Using emojis 并非friendlier communication。故答案为A。
38.G
【解析】细节句。根据前一句的employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond ,and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge表明:办公室工作者年龄在22~70岁以及70岁以上,他们普遍交流困难。以及后一句中的younger generations、working with traditional tools,可知,交流平台能够为代际之间的共同交流提供更简单的方式。故答案为G。
39.B
【解析】细节句。本段说明的主体为邮件语气,与B选项的email对应。且作者对于没有emoji的邮件,态度是负向的。B选项中even表递进,承接上一句的情感。故答案为B。
40.F
【解析】主旨句。根据空格后半句and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome.可知,该句依然在描述表情符号的好处,此时答案可锁定在A和F。后一句中的employees和work culture对应F选项的workplace,可知是在描述工作场合。故答案为F。

【解析】考查副词。句首作状语,形容词变副词。
67. 【答案】with
【解析】考查介词。出现在名词前面,固定搭配be associated with“和……联系在一起”。
68. 【答案】to care
【解析】考查非谓语。后面介词,前面为动词,有谓语动词are,应该填非谓语动词,sth.+be+adj.+to do,主动表被动,所以填to care
69. 【答案】beautiful
【解析】考查形容词。出现在冠词和名词之间,填形容词,beautiful修饰branches。
70. 【答案】the
【解析】考查定冠词。序数词前用定冠词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.
71.【答案】what 改成which
【解析】定语从句关系词用法错误。依据句意,“感谢你的来信,你的信让我真的很开心。”,后面的从句为非性定语从句。因先行词为your letter,指物,在定从中作主语,且前面有逗号,所以用关系代词which。
72.【答案】come 后加to
【解析】不及物动词用法错误。come是不及物动词,后面不能直接接宾语,需要加介词,因介词to表方向,所以在come 后加to。
73.【答案】surely改成sure
【解析】形容词和副词用法错误。此处surely是副词,可以修饰动词、形容词、副词、句子,但是不能做表语,修饰系动词。而此句中,前面be为系动词,sb.+be+adj.,是典型的主系表结构,后面接形容词做表语,表示主语的某种状态。例如,You are beautiful,因此将surely改成sure。
74.【答案】start改成started【解析】动词时态错误。我们在判断动词时态时,可以依据时间标志词,或者上下文时态及语境。此句中由when引导的时间状语从句表过去,在我七岁的时候,因此,前面我开始学习功夫也应该是一般过去时,因此,将start改成started。
75.【答案】for 改成but 或yet
【解析】连词用法错误。前后句子完整,但是表意发生了明显的转折,我七岁开始习武,但是很久没有操练。因此,应该用表示转折的连词but或yet。
76.【答案】vacations改成vacation
【解析】名词单复数用法错误。此句中我将要回家过暑假,一般用summer vacation 单数即可,属常见词组表暑假,如果指两三个假期,则需要用复数vacations。77.【答案】such改成so
【解析】连词用法错误。依据语意,我可以抽出一些时间重新学习它,以便于我们可以每天一起去练习。so that可作为目的状语从句的引导词,表示以致于,为了,以便于等含义,而such that无此用法。
78.【答案】删除on
【解析】介词用法错误。on在接时间词做状语时,常表示具体某一天,比如,on Sunday,在周日。而此句中,every day表示每天,无需加介词on。
79.【答案】yours改成your/you
【解析】代词用法错误。在介词with后,如用yours,则指代不明。此处有两种改法:改法一,将yours改为your,形容词性物主代词修饰动名词learning kung fu,则强调在你的功夫学习方面,祝你好运。改法二,将yours改为you,介词with后接代词宾格,best wishes with you ,后面的learning kung fu,则动名词作状语,也就是在你习武的同时也祝你好运,故答案两个your或you均可。
80.【答案】sooner 改成soon
【解析】see you soon,惯用语,有盼望早日相见或再见的含义。sooner是soon的比较级,惯用语是sooner or later迟早,早晚有一天。作为书信的结尾,表寒暄问候,故用soon。

题目:My weekend
【范文】
My Weekend
Last weekend, my classmates and I paid an unforgettable visit to a nearby farm where we picked fresh fruit and vegetables.
Located in the countryside, the farm was free from the noises of the city, quiet but thriving, with various agricultural products growing there. After listening to a few instructions, we were then divided into several groups, among which, mine was responsible for picking grapes. I was cutting the grapes off the vine while my members were gathering and transporting them to the storeroom. As a consequence, large quantities of sweet grapes were what we acquired by the end of the day.
It was such a meaningful weekend that we would never forget. Not only did we enjoy close contact with nature, but we also learned the essence of cooperation during
the activity.
【解析】
从这篇题目本身看,要求考生所覆盖的要点还是很清晰的,需要涵盖活动的时间、地点、农场的情况、采摘的过程和个人感受,尤其是个人的感受。主要难点集中在:1. 要点依然是半开放式,很多学生想不起农场情况可以写哪些要点、对于采摘过程不熟悉;2. 学生不熟悉话题相关的词汇,尤其是采摘过程,瓜果的可数不可数等词汇应用都容易成为失分点;3. 整篇文章使用过去时,部分学生时态使用容易出现问题;4. 文章容易写成流水账,学生不熟悉如何在这种文章里灵活应用长难句。
具体写作上,一段式写作没有问题,但为了突出要点,建议学生写成三段式,首段开门见山概述上周参加了采摘活动,中间段落描述农场情况和采摘过程,第三段描写个人感受。农场情况可以从位置、环境、种植产品等入手介绍,采摘过程可从和同学分工、工具、水果种类等进行描写。个人感受则可以从人与自然,劳动最光荣、合作等角度出发写作。
开头介绍活动和农场时可以使用定语从句对于内容进行扩充,中间描述时可使用非谓语和状语从句提升语言层次,结束感想时可使用not only but also 倒装句或是it was…that强调句,进行句式的多变。中间还可以适当穿插what、how等名词性从句对于内容进行扩充。
