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.
答案B 细节理解
25.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？

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.
答案D 细节理解
27. What is the text mainly about?

一些家长认为高科技玩具对他们的孩子有帮助的话，他们会购买任何高科技玩具，但研究人员说，拼图就有助于孩子掌握数学相关技能。
芝加哥大学幼儿数学发展专家、心理学家苏珊·莱文发现，在2岁至4岁之间玩拼图游戏的儿童，后来会发展出更好的空间技能。莱文说，在控制了父母收入、教育程度和家长谈话量的差异后，益智游戏被发现是认知能力的一个显著预测因子。
研究人员分析了53对儿童家长在家中日常活动的视频记录，发现在26至46个月大之间玩拼图游戏的儿童在54个月大时的空间技能更好。
莱文在一份声明中说：“玩拼图游戏的孩子在评估旋转和转换形状能力的任务中表现得比不玩拼图的孩子要好”。
家长们被要求像平时一样和孩子们互动，研究中大约有一半的孩子一度玩拼图游戏。高收入的父母倾向于让孩子更频繁地玩拼图游戏，所有玩拼图游戏的男孩和女孩都能有更好的空间技能。然而，男孩比女孩倾向于玩更复杂的拼图，并且男孩的父母比女孩的父母给孩子提供更多的空间语言也更活跃。
研究结果发表在《发展科学》杂志上。
24儿童在哪方面受益于益智游戏？
A、 建立信心。B发展空间技能。C、 学习自我控制。D.获取高科技知识。
25.莱文在设计实验时考虑了什么
A、 父母的年龄。B儿童的想象力。C、 父母的教育。D.亲子关系。
26在益智游戏中男孩和女孩有何不同？
A、 他们更常玩拼图游戏。B、 他们往往在比赛中少说。
C、 他们更喜欢使用更多的空间语言。D、 他们可能会玩更难的谜题。
27正文主要是关于什么的？
A、 数学方法。B科学研究。C、 一个女心理学家。 D一个教学计划。

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.
答案 A 细节理解
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.
答案A 细节理解
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 推断
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 推断

当你想给度假清单上的环保主义者买什么时，你可能没有想到毛皮。但是，一些生态学家和时尚爱好者正试图把海狸鼠毛皮带回市场。
新奥尔良和布鲁克林不同寻常的时装秀展示了海狸鼠毛皮制成的不同风格的衣服。“无内疚地谈论毛皮服装听起来很疯狂，除非你明白海狸鼠每年都在破坏大片湿地，”JustifyFur的项目总监Cree McCree说。
路易斯安那州的科学家们非常关心湿地以至于他们决定付给猎人5美元一条尾巴。一些毛皮最终出现在时装秀上，比如上个月在布鲁克林的那场。
海狸鼠是由毛皮农场主从阿根廷带到那里并放到了野外。“那里的生态系统无法处理这些外来物种，它正在破坏环境。他们不能和我们共存。”这个领域的专家迈克尔马西米说。
几十年来，毛皮贸易让海狸鼠数量受到限制，但当海狸鼠皮毛市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时，这种猫大小的动物疯狂地繁殖。
生物学家埃德蒙穆顿负责路易斯安那州的海狸鼠控制计划。他说要让人们相信海狸鼠皮毛带来绿色环保并不容易，但他对此毫不怀疑。猎人每年会带来超过30万条海狸鼠的尾巴，所以现在穆顿的部分工作就是努力推销毛皮。
然后就是正义的皮毛和它不同寻常的时尚。摩根说：“给人们一个没有罪恶感的选择，让他们可以穿着而不被人泼油漆——我认为这将是一件大事，至少在纽约是这样。”设计师詹妮弗·安德森承认，她花了一段时间才意识到，用海狸鼠毛皮制作自己的作品在道德上是可以接受的。她试图想出一个标签贴在海狸鼠时装上，以表明它是环保的。
28新奥尔良和布鲁克林时装秀的目的是什么？
A、 促进无内疚环保的毛皮贸易。B、 拓展时尚市场。
C、 介绍一个新品牌。D、 庆祝寒假。
29.为什么科学家们关心海狸鼠？
A、 海狸鼠严重破坏生态系统。B、 海狸鼠是一种濒危物种。
C、 海狸鼠伤害了当地猫大小的动物。D、 海狸鼠被非法猎杀。
30.第5段中带下划线的“崩溃”可能是什么意思？
A、 轰隆声。B成熟了。C.保持稳定，D.坠毁。
31.根据摩根的说法，在纽约穿皮草我们能推断出什么？
A、 这是正式的。B。这有风险。C。这是有害的。D。这是传统的。

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.
答案C 推断
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 推断
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 细节
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 推断

图书馆在我心中有一个的特殊位置。从我记事时开始。我一直是个热心的读者，小时候有时一天读三本书。故事对我来说就像空气，当其他孩子打球或参加聚会时，我通过从图书馆借来的书来体验冒险。
我16岁时的第一份工作是在Ukiah图书馆工作，这是一份理想的工作，我做了很多事情，从整理书架到阅读故事给孩子们听。
随着我长大，当上了母亲，图书馆在我的生活中占据了一个新的位置并有了额外的意义。我有几个孩子，书籍是我们娱乐的主要来源。对我们来说，整理好行装去当地的图书馆是件大事，在那里我的孩子们可以挑书阅读，或者他们让我读给他们想听的书。
我总是用不同的声音阅读，好像我在用我的声音表演故事，他们很喜欢！这是一个与我的孩子们建立联系的特殊时期，这让使他们满满地感到了书籍的奇妙。
现在，我看到我的孩子们带着他们的孩子去图书馆，我喜欢去图书馆的兴奋感能代代相传。
作为一名小说家，我发现了与图书馆的新关系。我鼓励读者在买不起书的时候去当地的图书馆。我把图书馆看作是读者和作家的避风港，是一座帮助联系读者和一本书的桥梁。图书馆以自己的方式帮助打击图书盗版，我认为所有作家都应该在力所能及的情况下大力地支持图书馆。鼓励读者使用图书馆。在社交媒体上分享图书馆公告。尽可能地常去或者提及图书馆。
32哪一个词最能描述作者小时候与书籍的关系？
A、 合作。B.不安。C.形影不离。D.休闲。
33第3段中带下划线的短语“附加含义”指的是什么？
A、 在图书馆工作的乐趣。B、 读书的乐趣在家里传了下来。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Emoji（表情符号） and Workplace Communication
In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. 36D. The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally . It’s been reported that 76 percent of employees in some western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often read as cold and dull. Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear. 37A. Message with emojis feel more conversational , encouraging better and more frequent communication.
In any given office, employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond, and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge. 38G. An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform . While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually, for those used to working with traditional tools like email, it may feel like a learning curve（曲线）. The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.
There is also the matter of tone（语气）. Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day? 39B. Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly . Emoji can help communication feel friendlier, and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.
40F. Studies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier workplace, and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome. And when your employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication, you’ll know you have succeeded in improving your work culture.
C. Sending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strange
E. Giving employees the tools enables them to communicate honestly
点评：今年的7选5结构上属于递进式，空前空后呼应点较多，整体难度适中。
表情符号与职场沟通
在亚洲，短信平台发展迅速，无论是工作还是娱乐，都有数亿用户。36D。这些平台的普及正在全球蔓延。据报道，在一些西方国家，76%的员工在工作中使用表情符号。
书面交流通常读起来既冷淡又乏味。使用表情符号可以增加幽默感，保持意图清晰。37A.带有表情符号的信息会让人感觉更具对话性，鼓励更好、更频繁的交流。
在任何一个特定的办公室里，员工年龄从22岁到70岁甚至更高，在沟通方式上找到共同点是一个挑战。38G.一个可以让所有年龄员工凝聚到一起简单的方法就是用一个聊天平台。虽然年轻一代更喜欢用视觉交流，对于那些习惯于使用电子邮件等传统工具的人来说，这可能会让人感觉像是一条学习曲线。好消息是，学习起来很简单，值得付出努力。
还有语气问题。谁都有过因为收到一封烦人的邮件而毁了一整天的经历？即使是一封正式的电子邮件也会显得冷淡和不友好。表情符号可以帮助交流变得更友好，甚至一个严肃的留言也可以用鼓励的微笑来软化。
研究表明，更友好的交流会带来更快乐的工作环境，而表情符号可以直接带来这个积极的结果。当你的员工开始在他们的商务交流中加入微笑的表情，你就会知道你已经成功地改善了你的工作文化。

这是六月的一个早晨。“尼科罗”在都灵的一家工厂工作了一整夜，但由于意大利的隐私法，他的真名无法向公众公开。正如他经常做的那样，他在意大利警方举办的“下班后拍卖会”前停下脚步，这个拍卖行把在火车上找到的东西卖给出价最高的人。在那里，在一堆东西中，尼科洛发现了两幅画，把它们挂在他的餐桌上方会很好看。尼科罗和另一个竞拍者竞拍，最终尼科罗以32美元的价格赢得了这幅画。
尼科罗退休后去西西里岛住了下来，他把画带来了。他把它们挂在他从都灵一起搬来的一张桌子上面。他15岁的儿子上过艺术鉴赏课，他认为画里面一个小女孩坐在花园椅子上的场景有些不寻常。它的署名是“邦纳托”或着他以为是那样，但当他研究它时，他只找到了“邦纳德”，一个他从未听说过的法国画家。他买了一本书，惊讶地在书里面发现画家皮埃尔·邦纳德坐在一个花园的椅子上面，而这同他父亲的画里的花园椅子一模一样。
“这就是我们画中的花园，”尼科罗的儿子告诉他的父亲。他们最终得知，他们拥有的那幅画名为“有两张椅子的女孩”。他们研究了另一幅画，得知这实际上是保罗·高更的《小狗和桌上静物水果》；这位官员证实，这些画是原件，价值高达5000万美元。

Last week end, my classmates and I went to a farm to help the farmers to pick apples. The farm lies in the west of the city, where there are many apple trees and some animals such as cats, dogs, ducks, hens, running. What a lovely place!
Our picking work began. Everyone was given a big basket and we picked the apples from trees very carefully. Then we divided the apples by their quality, especially some bad apples needing to be dropped. Finally, we put our apples into the truck. After finishing all the work, the grateful farmers treated us with a delicious farm food.
It was a such happy weekend and I learned a lot of knowledge out of the classroom.
