Purrble has seven sensors (感应器) which respond (回应) to touch. Its heartbeat speeds up when you play with it. Then you comfort Purrble by petting it. This slows its heartbeat down. It calms you, too. In a study of 20 families, 19 parents said that Purrble helped their anxious kids calm down. “I would have loved to have this as a child,” says the CEO of Sproutel, which designed the toy. The Mega Cyborg Hand was created by Thames &. Kosmos. It helps kids build a robotic hand that copies the movements of a real hand. The device is made up of plastic pieces and tubes filled with water. It transmits (传输) force from the user’s fingers to the fingers of the robotic hand. The Mega Cyborg Hand can be adjusted (调整) to fit arms of almost any size. It easily switches from left-handed to right-handed to “claw”. Hands-On Basketball helps to hold the ball and make it easier to properly shoot with two colorful handprints. Chris Hass was only 9 years old when he came up with this idea after trying to teach his friends how to make simple shots. He made a prototype (雏形) for an Invention Competition at his school. Although he didn’t win, he was encouraged to file a patent (申请专利) and keep selling his product. Since then he has sold thousands of hands-on basketballs.
51. In which section can we read the news
A. WORLD. B. SPORTS. C. LIFE. D. TRAVEL.

A. Helping Hand B. Hands On the Ball
C. A Robotic Arm D. A Hand Makes Kids Calm

A. Chris Hass B. Sproutel C. Thames D. Kosmos
54. When did Chris Hass have the idea
A. After trying to teach his friends to make simple shots.
B. When someone had coached him to properly shoot.
C. After selling thousands of hands-on basketballs.
D. When he was encouraged to file a patent.
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Chris Hass is only 9 years old. B. Purrble slows its heartbeat down itself.
C. Kosmos keeps selling basketballs. D. The Hand fits arms of almost any size.

When Brazilian musician and bar-owner Delei Duarte received an invitation to work as a guitarist in China in 2006, he accepted it without thinking. Duarte, then in his mid-40s, closed his bar in Brazil and traveled to Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province in China, where he met his wife and started a life that is beyond his expectations.
Now every night, the Brazilian man presents bossa nova, a popular Brazilian type of music, and Chinese pop music at his newly opened restaurant bar.
Since living in China, Duarte has opened three bars, all named after bossa nova. Over the years, he has seen the great changes that have taken place across China. From paying in cash to digital payments, from home cooking to the fast development of food delivery services, all of which have provided him with further enthusiasm (热情) for life.
“Things change and can’t stay the same forever, and more changes are on the way,” says Duarte. Several months ago, Duarte and his wife decided to close their popular bar and opened a restaurant instead.
“I hope that our business can keep up with the changes in consumer (消费者) spending habits. In the past, they mostly cared about the taste and size of the food, but now they pay more attention to the dining environment. That’s why we keep the live performances at the new restaurant.” he adds.
To him, music, family, friends, local food and traveling have become indispensable parts of life, and he hopes his local life will continue to be rich and fascinating. Duarte jokes that, despite his growing age, he is still a “big boy” enjoying life with youthful enthusiasm.
56. How old is Delei Duarte
A. In his forties. B. He is forty-five. C. In his sixties. D. He is sixteen.
57. What does Delei Duarte think of the changes in China
A. They have provided him with further enthusiasm.
B. Music, friends, food and traveling are dispensable.
C. We businessmen need not keep up with the changes.
D. Things can’t change and stay the same forever.
58. The underlined word “indispensable” can be replaced by __________.
A. serious B. necessary C. probable D. available
59. What can’t we know from the passage
A. Delei Duarte really enjoys the local life.
B. Bossa nova is a popular type of music in Brazil.
C. The new restaurant still keeps the live performances.
D. Delei Duarte moved to Shangxi with his family in 2006.
60. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Brazilian Musician Opened Three Bars B. Further Enthusiasm for Life
C. A “Big Boy” Enjoying Life with Enthusiasm D. Changes in Life across China

九、阅读理解 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
Parents, teachers, and anyone who often deals with teens know how difficult the teen years can be. Teens always do wild and even dangerous things. This was thought to be due to the foolishness of youth. Now, scientists have a new idea of why teens act this way.
Recently, scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are far from fully developed. Only during the teen years do our brains truly “grow up”. During this time, they go through great changes. These changes were once thought to be finished by age 12. Now, scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25. Such changes make us better at balancing our impulses (冲动) with the need to follow rules. However, a still-developing brain does this clumsily. The result is the unpredictable behavior (行为) in teens.
The studies show that teens prefer to take risks (冒险). Luckily, the news isn’t all bad. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires (激发) such behavior to help teens prepare for adult life. One way is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward (回报). When teens think about rewards, their brains get more pleasure than an adult brain would. This makes the rewards seem more important than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more strongly than adults do.
Although teens sometimes make bad decisions for greater rewards, they are still less afraid to try new things. The special period of brain developing is what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
96. What is the main purpose of the reading
A. To advise teens to think the same as their parents.
B. To explain how teen brains affect their behavior.
C. To describe a study on teen brains.
D. To encourage teens to take risks.
97. Which of the following statements about a human brain is NOT true
A. It is almost at the full size by the age of six.
B. It makes teens less afraid to try new things.
C. It goes on developing until about age 12.
D. It changes the way teens measure risk and reward.
98. The underlined word “clumsily” probably means __________.
A. without skills B. with hope C. without danger D. with warmth
99. What does the author mean by “the news isn’t all bad” in the third paragraph
A. The teens can get less pleasure than adults.
B. The bad side of the studies is not understood.
C. The way teen brains work has some strong points.
D. The weak points of the teen brain can be predicted.
100. According to the author, the development of the brain in teen years is __________.
A. successful B. helpful C. acceptable D. unpredictable

W: Well, what about going for a walk
W: We could, but it’s windy and it seems to rain soon.
M: Why not go shopping
W: I’d really rather not. It would be easy to buy something that I don’t need. Do you want to go bowling at the new bowling alley on 1st Street
M: That sounds interesting. Let’s go.

M: How do you go to work, Alice
W: I take a bus, Frank.
M: Is your office far from your home
W: Yes. And it takes me about 20 minutes to get to my office by bus. Next month, I’ll not take a bus because there will be a subway. It’s much faster.
M: Do you think there will be more subways in the city
W: Yes, there will. More and more people will live in cities.
M: So there will be more and more buildings.
W: And there will be more and more pollution, too.
M: I don’t think so. I think there will be less pollution.
W: That’s what we want. Do you like living in the city, Frank
M: Yes. It’s interesting and comfortable.

Now, listen carefully! I want to tell you about a new live show for children. Its name is Answer That, and it will be on Channel Five at six o’clock every Monday. I’m sure you will like it!
Every week there will be forty-eight children on the program. They will be on eight teams, and each team will have six children. The questions will be easy at the beginning and then they will get more difficult. They will all be about movies, books and music. At the end there will be only one team left- the winners.
There will be some great prizes. This week the winners will all get a camera. Everyone loves taking photos. Next week’s first prize is a dictionary. If you would like to be on Answer That, call 136-5726-9468. Just give your name, age and school address, and hope to see you!
