But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best: ·Science Kit You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments. ·Mini Terra Kit You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids. ·Gravity Run This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures. ·WeRo Kit This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own. 1. What is the greatest strength of scientific educational toys? A. Training young scientists. B. Stimulating learning desire. C. Developing hand-eye coordination. D.

B Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.” Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 4. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement? A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors. C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide. 5. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text? A Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous. C. Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible. 6. What can be inferred from the text? A. People don’t like others to step into their houses. B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad. C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party. D. People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Love Your Neighbors B. An Amazing Woman C. Happy Front Yard Time D. Tables Where All Are Welcome C We’re frequently told that our attention problem – being easily distracted – result from modern technology. If we truly want to focus, according to the popular belief, we need to turn off all our digital devices and quit social media. Here’s my opinion about that idea. This era (时代) is no different than any other – there has always been a “crisis (危机) of attention.” Think about life long ago: people in ancient India or Europe didn’t have smartphones and social media, but they were faced with the same problem. A crisis of attention can happen anytime you don’t allow yourself a break – when you don’t allow your mind to daydream, which may inspire your creativity. We are always engaged in something. With these digital tools at our fingertips, we can be constantly exposed to all these forms of communication, content, and interaction, and we don’t let our thoughts wander (漫游) freely. When was the last time you stood in line at a store and just… looked around? Thought about whatever came to your mind? Or did you pull out your phone, check your texts, read your email during that time? We all do it. We catch ourselves all the time going from one type of mental engagement to the next. Like surfing online (clicking from link to link), we go from one task to the next and the next. We are “all task and no downtime.” Even something you might think of as relaxing is more engagement. Checking your phone messages may seem “fun,” but it’s just another task for your attention. Your attention is focused on task after task after task, without a moment for the mind to wander freely. It’s not always realistic to unplug. We can’t just turn off our phones and pause our email. We can’t create a distraction-free world. The problem is not modern technology; rather, it’s how we’re using it. 8. Why does the author mention people in ancient India? A. To argue against the popular belief. B. To discuss the benefits of technology. C. To suggest a solution to the attention problem. D. To show the seriousness of the attention problem. 9. Which is an example of “downtime” according to the author? A. Chatting with friends. B. Reading a newspaper. C. Sitting back doing nothing. D. Checking phone messages. 10. What does the underlined word “unplug” mean in the last paragraph? A. Work long hours. B. Improve technology. C. Stop using digital devices. D. Balance work and leisure. 第二节 语句排序（共5小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 11. 将下列几个部分（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 A. Two new studies have shown the benefits of spending time in parks. The latest, from University of Michigan, suggests spending at least 20 minutes walking or sitting in a place where you’re in contact with nature significantly lowers stress levels. B. The results of the studies emphasize the need for protecting our existing parks and designing greener cities for the future. C. Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in a park? Or do you walk your dog outdoor each morning and evening? Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed – regardless of whether or not you’re exercising while you’re there. D. If you don’t have a green space near you, go out to one of these picnic spots, or head to one of these brilliant parks to find some spring flowers. E. Meanwhile, a study from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier. “We did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional wellbeing. Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional wellbeing,” said lead researcher Hon Yuen. __________ →__________ →__________→__________ →__________ 第三节 选句填空（共5小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10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。 How to be Pleasant and Mindful on Holiday When we’re distracted and not mindful during the journey we risk missing out on those little moments of magic. ____12____ Here are some practical tips on how to turn your focus back to what really matters. ____13____ Therefore, try to limit your screen time.

If we truly want to focus, according to the popular belief, we need to turn off all our digital devices and quit social media. Here’s my opinion about that idea. This era (时代) is no different than any other – there has always been a “crisis (危机) of attention.” Think about life long ago: people in ancient India or Europe didn’t have smartphones and social media, but they were faced with the same problem. A crisis of attention can happen anytime you don’t allow yourself a break – when you don’t allow your mind to daydream, which may inspire your creativity. We are always engaged in something. With these digital tools at our fingertips, we can be constantly exposed to all these forms of communication, content, and interaction, and we don’t let our thoughts wander (漫游) freely. When was the last time you stood in line at a store and just… looked around? Thought about whatever came to your mind? Or did you pull out your phone, check your texts, read your email during that time? We all do it. We catch ourselves all the time going from one type of mental engagement to the next. Like surfing online (clicking from link to link), we go from one task to the next and the next. We are “all task and no downtime.” Even something you might think of as relaxing is more engagement. Checking your phone messages may seem “fun,” but it’s just another task for your attention. Your attention is focused on task after task after task, without a moment for the mind to wander freely. It’s not always realistic to unplug. We can’t just turn off our phones and pause our email. We can’t create a distraction-free world. The problem is not modern technology; rather, it’s how we’re using it. 8. Why does the author mention people in ancient India? A. To argue against the popular belief. B. To discuss the benefits of technology. C. To suggest a solution to the attention problem. D. To show the seriousness of the attention problem. 9. Which is an example of “downtime” according to the author? A. Chatting with friends. B. Reading a newspaper. C. Sitting back doing nothing. D. Checking phone messages. 10. What does the underlined word “unplug” mean in the last paragraph? A. Work long hours. B. Improve technology. C. Stop using digital devices. D. Balance work and leisure. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文，作者认为，注意力危机在任何时代都是存在的，不能归咎于现代技术的发展，问题的关键在于我们应该如何使用现代科技。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“We’re frequently told that our attention problem – being easily distracted – result from modern technology. (我们经常被告知，我们的注意力问题——容易分心——是现代技术造成的。)”及文章第二段中“This era (时代) is no different than any other – there has always been a “crisis (危机) of attention.” Think about life long ago: people in ancient India or Europe didn’t have smartphones and social media, but they were faced with the same problem. (这个时代与其它任何时代都没有什么不同——总是存在“注意力危机”。想想很久以前的生活：古印度或欧洲的人们没有智能手机和社交媒体，但他们面临着同样的问题。)”可知，作者提及古印度人是为了反对目前流行的一种看法——现代技术导致了我们的专注力问题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“We catch ourselves all the time going from one type of mental engagement to the next. Like surfing online (clicking from link to link), we go from one task to the next and the next. We are “all task and no downtime.” (我们总是发现自己从一种类型的精神投入到另一种。就像网上冲浪（从一个链接到另一个链接）一样，我们从一个任务到下一个任务。我们“全是任务，没有停机时间”。)”及“Your attention is focused on task after task after task, without a moment for the mind to wander freely. (你的注意力集中在一项又一项任务上，没有一刻让你的思想自由地漫游。)”可知，作者认为的“停机时间”指的是我们放下一切，让思想自由漫游的时间。因此，无所事事地坐着是一个“停机时间”的例子。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“not always realistic (并不总是现实的)”及“We can’t just turn off our phones and pause our email. We can’t create a distraction-free world. (我们不能只是关掉手机，暂停收发邮件。我们不能创造一个没有干扰的世界。)”可知，停止使用电子设备并不总是现实的，unplug表示“停止使用电子设备”。A. Work long hours长时间工作；B. Improve technology改进技术；C. Stop using digital devices停止使用数字设备；D. Balance work and leisure平衡工作和休闲。故选C项。 第二节 语句排序（共5小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 11. 将下列几个部分（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 A. Two new studies have shown the benefits of spending time in parks. The latest, from University of Michigan, suggests spending at least 20 minutes walking or sitting in a place where you’re in contact with nature significantly lowers stress levels. B. The results of the studies emphasize the need for protecting our existing parks and designing greener cities for the future. C. Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in a park? Or do you walk your dog outdoor each morning and evening? Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed – regardless of whether or not you’re exercising while you’re there. D. If you don’t have a green space near you, go out to one of these picnic spots, or head to one of these brilliant parks to find some spring flowers. E. Meanwhile, a study from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier. “We did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional wellbeing.

(与此同时，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）的研究人员发现，参观当地城市公园的人感觉更快乐。“我们没有发现体育活动水平与改善情绪健康有关。相反，我们发现在公园里度过的时间与改善情绪健康有关，”首席研究员Hon Yuen说。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 ④第四句话应总结两个研究的成果的影响。故选项B“The results of the studies emphasize the need for protecting our existing parks and designing greener cities for the future.
