It functions primarily as a handheld scanner that kids can point at an object around them, such as a flower or a bird, to hear it talk back. Using its AI software, Spot recognizes the object and voices a little monologue (独白) from it, processing information to suit children aged five to nine.There’s also a secondary function that comes into play at bedtime, when Spot uses its in-built projecto (投影仪) to present a story made up around the day’s discoveries.Spot is a concept at this stage, one that grew, out of the research New Deal Design conducted into children’s development. The designers found that the right kind of toy could encourage focus, as opposed to instant satisfaction. They wanted to cultivate a kind of junior-level mindfulness that would set kids up with positive life skills.In terms of appearance, Spot has a complicated look, with its 3D camera fixed in the head. The models are smooth, including a wooden handle, a button and a base. The choice of materials was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.When Spot recognizes an object, it blinks to signal it has locked the target. Its head also locks into place to avoid any shaking. As an example, New Deal Design describes a girl called Max, who among other things, encounters a robin while out with the toy. Via Spot, the bird says, “Hi Max, my name is Robin! Did you know…”At that night’s Story Time, Spot starts “Once upon a time there was a little girl namedMax who met a robin. One day, Max asked the robin…”New Deal Design says that day summaries like this helps kids to relax and get better sleep. Seeing themselves at the centre of stories also helps to build self-confidence and self-awareness.8．In which aspect do children benefit from this artificial intelligence-equipped toy?A. Encouraging focus.B. Giving an instant satisfaction.C. Learning self-control.D. Cultivating junoir-level ability. 9．According to the passage, which statement about Spot is right?A. Spot’s monologues are age-specific.B. Spot tells stories programmed in advance.C. Spot has already been used to fight the “distraction economy”.D. Spot’s appearance was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.10．According to the text, who will the toy be useful for?A. Tom, two years old, can’t recognize an object around him.B. Max, eight years old, wants to make up a story about robin.C. Tina, nine years old, can’t concentrate her atte ntion on her class.D. Mike, twelve years old, wants to learn something about artificial intelligence.11．What is the text mainly about?A. A scientific invention.B. A learning program.C. An creative method.D. A tech design studios.It’s one of the ultimate tests of willpower: you’ve been wandering around the market for hours and you’re tired and hungry. Then you catch a smell of something fragrant (香的) and delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. Junk food companies are well aware t hat the smell of their product sets off a desire in your brain and that you’ll pay for that later. It is a response that has been researched, and you’d better believe your favorite fast-food chains have marketing teams that are using that research to their advantage.Let’s take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever indulgent food (放纵型食品) catches your attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? A couple of minutes later you are standing in line, and it isn’t quite as appealing as it was just moments ago, but now you’ve invested time, so you trust your first feeling to treat yourself.But a recent statement says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. Dipayan Biswas, a marketing professor, found there is a direct connection between how long a person is exposed to indulgent food smells and choosing healthier foods. “The results of a series ofexperiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smells leads to fewer purchases of unhealthy foods compared with no smell or a non-junk-food-related smell,” reads the summary of his study.What appears to be going on here is that the brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and a pleasant taste. “Extended exposure to an indulgent food smell brings pleasure in the mind, which in turn reduces the desire for actual consumption of indulgent foods,” he explains. So next time you feel you don’t have the willpower to resist cookies, smell all that sweetness for ju st a minute or two. To your brain it’s the same as actually eating cookies, and the purchase desire would decrease.12．What can we learn about junk food smells from the first paragraph?A. They can make a difference in marketing.B. They hardly affect people’s food choices.C. They are unlikely to fool wise customers.D. They finally decrease people’s purchase desire.13．What does the second paragraph basically serve as?A. An argument.B. An example.C. A comparison.D. A comment. 14．Which statement will Biswas probably agree with?A. The brain can’t tell where sensory pleasure is from.B. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked.C. The influence of food smells changes over time.D. The behavior of smelling food doesn’t equal eating it.15．Which of the following could the best title for the text?A. Train Your Brain to Resist Junk FoodB. Watch Out for Tricky Marketing ToolsC. Food Addiction Is Never About WillpowerD. Smelling Junk Food Longer Can Keep You Off It二、七选五16．Yes, trying new things is exciting and mind-expanding and all that, but it can also be awkward and embarrassing. No one likes to feel embarrassed and incompetent. ①Here are a few ways to feel a little better about launching yourself into a new experience—and help you get over the part of that initial misery to the part where it’s actually fun.First, we should know we’re born to be afraid of new experiences. From an evolutionary standpoint, trying new things, for much of human history, could have been dangerous. Thismeans that deep in our brains there’s a primeval (原始的) fear of looking bad, a fear of not performing as well as others. ②It’s part of being human. Enjoyment will come as the newness fades.Going in with the right mindset is also important. It’s go od to have an end goal in mind.③ Maybe your new hobby is marathons, for example; running one in under four hours isa goal, sure, but getting in shape and meeting other runners are worthy outcomes, too.④Whatever you’re trying, doing a little preparation work beforehand can make your first time a lot less frightening. Want to try your hand at baking? Before you actually bust out the kitchen equipment, maybe watch a few tutorials and take a few minutes to look up all the terms you don’t know. Taking up golf? ⑤ A baseline of knowledge will help you feel a little better the first time you try swinging a club.A. And it is wise to prepare before you start.B. Having an end goal will guide you through.C. Practice playing golf beforehand is a good choice.D. However, it helps to start with a beginner-friendly one.E. It’s fine to read a book on the sport before you head to the golf course.F. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable if beginners want to learn something new.G. In other words, not lovin g it right away isn’t a sign that you’ve made a mistake.三、完形填空（15空）Milo is a dog, adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift from an animal shelter.

On Tuesday 29 MayBI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both camefrom a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.4.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended s omeone else.5.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They have similar characteristic.6.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal A viation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower thanthose pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the governm ent’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist Fl ightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it was n’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.13. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.14.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary15.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were mo re imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

AWhen Sabrina Vega was 5 years old, a friend invited her to a party held at a gym where Sabrina discovered that she loved doing gymnastics.A few nights after the party, Sabrina had a dream．She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream.Jahira said, "Sabrina said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously."But Sabrina kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics. So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Sabrina was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Sabrina was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team－the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Sabrina that she could not go. Jahira said, "Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’"A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Sabrina's gym unexpectedly. They watched Sabrina train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!Eventually, Sabrina Vega competed at the 2012 0lympic Trials. She finished l0th in the all rounds．21. Sabrina Vega had a dream to .A. go to the partyB. do gymnasticsC. take part in the OlympicsD. attend a national competition22. From the passage, we can infer .A. Sabrina's parents were tired of her talkingB. Sabrina's parents loved her and were moved by herC. Sabrina's mother supported her dream even at the beginningD. Sabrina became a national team player at the age of twelve23. What does the author want to tell us?A. All roads lead to Rome.B. Early birds catch worms.C. Practice makes perfect.D. God blesses the determined and hard-working.24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A talented girl.B. The caring parents.C. An Olympic dream.D. A helping hand.BThe latest Chinese "god song" (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally(病毒性地) through the Internet) is still stirring up fierce debates between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.Last week,Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese culture's "going abroad", claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo's film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video websites.Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as "musical junk food", Little Apple's popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.25. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.A. opposedB. negativeC. objectiveD. critical26. What does the underlined words “the duo” refer to?A. Little Apple.B. Chopsticks brothers.C. Zhang Jie.D. American singers.27. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategyB. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMAC. Little Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaD. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the InternetCSunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn’t given immediately.Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limits. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat s unstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted（昏迷）. Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you' re in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an amb ulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.28. When does a person get sunstroke?A. When the body doesn't function.B. When proper care is given immediately.C. When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.29. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The first aid for sunstroke.B. The cause of sunstroke.C. The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D. The essential prevention of sunstroke.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Call for assistance from others.B. Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C. Put a wet towel on the person's face.D. Help the person take some medicine.31. The text probably comes from____________.A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. a medical magazineD. an official documentDI used to joke that I spoke French like a 3-year-old. Until I met a French 3-year-old and couldn’t keep the conversation. This was after a year of intense study, including at least two hours a day with Rosetta Stone, Fluenz and other self-instruction software, joining study groups and watching French movies. However, my failure at French was the best thing I could have done for my 57-year-old brain.In the last few years, unable to hold a list of just four grocery items in my head, I began to worry about my state of mind. So to comfort myself that nothing was wrong, just before learning French I took a test. I scored below average for my age group in all of the subjects.Because learning a foreign language is a difficult task for adults, I worked my brains hard to learn it. Surprisingly, my failure at French study produced an unexpected benefits. After a year of struggling with the language, I retook the test, and the results shocked me. My scores had improved, placing me above average in seven of 10 subjects, and average in the other three. My verbal memory score jumped from the bottom half to the 88. Studying a language had been like drinking from a mental fountain of youth.What might explain such an improvement?A researcher said that language study was beneficial to older adults, noting that the cognitive(认知) tasks involved — including working memory, and task switching — are closely related to the areas of the brain that are most connected with declines due to aging. In other words, the things that make second language study so mad for grown-ups are the very things that may make the effort so beneficial. So I plan to spend the next year learning Italian.32. According to the text, Rosetta Stone is ____________.A. a person who helps the author learn FrenchB. a Frenc h study groupC. a kind of self-instruction softwareD. a French study programme33. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. Giving up language study is totally wrong.B. Studying a language satisfies your needs.C. Studying a language gives you much pleasure.D. Studying a language makes your brain young.34. What might explain the author’s memory improvement?A. Learning French trained part of his brain.B. Cognitive tasks are interesting.C. A strong will is the key to his success.D. Taking two tests made him clever.35. Why did the author want to learn Italian?A. To challenge himself.B. To get more benefits.C. To know Italian culture.D. To travel to Italy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
