Children like to imagine they are someone else in a game. As a parent you might never guess how it can benefit your child. It helps your child:
Develop Social Skills
As children play pretend games, they explore relationships between family members, friends and coworkers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Imaginative play helps of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build Self-confidence
Children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a super hero defending the planet is inspiring to children. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Promote Intellectual Growth
Using imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king’s castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numbers symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so
on.
Practice Language Skills
Kids who pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps increase their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and develop communication skills.
Get Rid of Fears
Pretending can help children get rid of their fears and worries. When children role-play the big, bad monsters under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn’t seem quite so big or so bad.
21．What can help children develop social skills in a game?
A. Pretending to be a super hero.
B. Preparing a delicious dinner with mud.
C. Helping a doctor to attend patients.

A. It makes them feel as if they were much more powerful than they really are.
B. It helps them protect people and make much greater progress.
C. It helps them gain control over themselves.
D. It makes them more willing to play fair.
23．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

B. Playing pretend games helps children to do well while they are in school.
C. Playing pretend games only helps children psychologically.

B
Although one might not think so as a result of the disadvantages, thousands and thousands of ads have shown advertising is of great importance to the society in which
people live, either in the United Kingdom, or in many other parts of the world .Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offered, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not for advertising. And advertising does a great deal to a rising standard of living conditions.
In talking about advertisement, one should not think only a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspaper or magazines and—in the sense of communication—even the spoken or written words of salesmen. After all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place in the ancient times.
For many years it was thought that it was not enough to just produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that people came to understand the production of goods would be a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at fair price within a reasonable time period. In the competitive society in which we live, it is very important that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important part, whether selling at home or in export market. Around 2 percent of the UK national product is spent on advertising. But it must be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to customers who do not buy them. Of course, advertising does try to catch the eyes of the buyer, but if the product one has bought does not match what the advertisement had described, it is extremely unlikely that the goods will sell well.
25．According to the text, advertising is important to____.
A. every person in the world
B. people with a high standard of living
C. some famous companies
D. a large number of people in the world 26．What is the earliest advertisement in history?
A. Shop window show and wrapping of the goods.
B. Advertisements on TV
C. face-to-face talks between sellers and buyers
D. Products in many newspapers and magazines
27．The writer tries to tell us that goods will sell well if ____.
A. advertisements are well designed
B. enough money is spent on advertising
C. they are of high quality and well wrapped
D. advertisements mirror the true value
C
When I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would often shoot up in enthusiasm. After giving me a few opportunities, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, I’d start waving it around. Then, there was the time I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practice one beat over and over again. I never went back.
I would have done terribly in the Stanford Marshmallow(果浆软糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college.
So clearly, delaying(延迟的) gratification or bearing up under pain have their benefits. It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong desire for consequences. We come to accept that we don’t always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.
The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes won’t always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves comes from accepting that there are things we can control and thin gs we can’t. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest in comfort in the present moment, how fast we develop isn’t up to us.
That same fifth grader who couldn’t wait to speak ou t answers now sees the value of meeting questions with a heart of patience.
28．Why did the author wave his hand around in class?
A. He wanted to entertain himself.
B. He tried to show his impatience.
C. He was making fun of his fellow students.
D. He wanted to give his fellow students a chance.
29．What’s the purpose of the Stanfor d Marshmallow Experiment?
A. To test children’s concentration levels.
B. To test whether children have sweet teeth.
C. To test patience and its potential advantages.
D. To test the bond between patience and desire.
30．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Para. 3?
A. Progress.
B. Patience.
C. Assistance.
D. Satisfaction.
31．What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text? A. Constant changes. B. Present reality.
C. An absence of self-control.
D. A strong desire for consequences.
D
In 1941, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov stated the Three Laws of Robotics. These laws come from the world of science fiction, but the real world is catching up. A law firm gave Pittsburgh’s Carn egie Mellon University $10 million to explore artificial intelligence. Peter Kalis, chairman of the law firm, K&L Gates, said the development of technology had led to questions that were never taken seriously before. What will happen when you make robots that are smart, independent thinkers and then try to limit their freedom?
Researcher Kalis said, “One expert said we’ll be at a point when we give an instruction to our robot to go to work in the morning and it turns around and says, ‘I’d rather go to the beach.’” He said that one day we would want laws to keep our free-thinking robots from running wild.
With the law firm’s gift, the university will be able to explore problems now appearing within automated industries. “Take driverless cars for example,” Kal is
said. “If there’s an accident concerned with a driverless car, what policies do we have in place? What kind of insurance policies do they have?” In fact, people can take a ride in a driverless car in Pittsburgh where an American online transportation ne twork company uses the city as a testing ground for the company’s driverless cars.
The problems go beyond self-driving cars and robots. Think about the next generation of smartphones, those chips fixed in televisions, computers, fridges, etc., and the ever-expanding collection of personal data being stored in the “cloud”. So can Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics be used in reality? Is it necessary to have a moral guideline that everyone can understand? Whatever it is, doing no harm should be the very first one.
32．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Robot should have more freedom.
B. Technology is running ahead of laws.
C. The Three Laws of Robotics are practical.
D. Peter wants to explore artificial intelligence.
33．What makes humans worry about robots?
A. Robots may be out of control.
B. Robots can do something illegal.
C. Robots can become angry easily.
D. Robots may have many requests. 34．What is the third paragraph intended to tell us?
A. It’s hard for robots to obey rules.
B. A law on robotics is really a must.
C. Driverless cars can cause accidents.
D. Driverless cars are being tested out now.
35．What should the basic law on robotics be according to the text?
A. Robots should be cautiously used in life.
B. Robots should obey Asimov’s Three Laws.
C. Robots should be easy for people to operate.
D. Robots should help with people’s life and work.

Life is short. It may feel as if it takes forever sometimes, but the reality is that you live, and a short time later, you die. It happens so quickly that many people don't even realize they had a life until it's already over.
1.36
If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all you're doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言)。

37 ，instead of not believing yourself. Not only will you be happier and more successful, you'll also spread it to everyone around you.
2. Stop Being Lazy
Lazy people are annoying—it's like pulling teeth and getting them to do anything. If I can't do something as simple as going to the movies with you without wasting an hour convincing you to get your lazy butt (臀部) out of bed, I'd rather go alone. People have enough trouble motivating themselves 38 .
3. Stop Wasting Time
I’ve said it before. And I'll say it again. 39 . Don't waste your time on unproductive things. If you want to explore the World's dark corners, that's great.
I still associate with people who have not-so-kosher(没有固定工作的) careers, but I don’t hang out with those people at the expense of my own short- and long-term goals.
4. Stop Being Wasteful
You don’ t finish your meals, and throw away food instead. You leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth, 40 。

. You drive to places you could easily walk to, burning gasoline (a non-renewable resource). You are wasteful, and it needs to stop.
A. Think positively
B. wasting is a shame
C. Stop Being Selfish
D. Stop Doubting Yourself
E. pouring precious clean water down
F. Time is the most valuable resource we have
G. don't make your friends and family waste their energy motivating you as well

细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“…advertising is of great importance to the society in which people live…Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are offere d, …And advertising does

【点睛】推理判断题
推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。

这种题型包括判断题和推理题。

这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。

做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。

如第1小题文中并没有句子说明作者的不耐烦。

但
从作者一直接举手，后来的挥舞着手，可推断出作者想要回答问题等的不耐烦了。

由此可知推理判断题要仔细体现表面与隐含意义之间的联系，才能得出正确的答案。

29．C
推理判断题。

第二段中的斯坦福棉花糖实验中给学生的选择是立刻得到一块糖，还是等候一段时间可得到两块。

故C项正确。

30．D
推理判断题。

根据斯坦福棉花糖实验中是如果等待一段时间可得到更多的好处，也就是得到了更多的满意。

这就是延迟而得到的奖励，即得到好处的满足感。

分析选项可知，D项符合题意。

31．A
推理判断题。

根据第三段‘It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us ….We come to accept that we don’t alway s or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes.”（我们开始接受，我们并不总是或立即知道什么是最好的，并学会认识到我们的现实在不断的变化。

）及第四段第一句“The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes”知道我们的现状会不断变化是需要有耐心的。

32．B
推理判断题。

第一段“In 1941, science fiction writer Isaac Asim ov stated the Three Laws of Robotics. These laws come from the world of science fiction, but the real world is catching up…. the development of technology had led to questions that were never taken seriously before.”可知，机器人三条定律来处于科幻小说，但现实世界正在迎头赶上。

技术的发展导致了以前从未认真考虑过的问题。

第二段“one day we would want laws to keep our free-thinking robots from running wild.” 总有一天我们会想要法律来阻止我们的自由思考机器人失控。

分析可知，科技的出现，才导致了问题的出现，才会想要有法律来制约。

即科技走在法律的前头了。

故选B项。

33．A
推理判断题。

根据第二段研究员Kalis说：“一位专家说，我们将会出现这种情形，当我们指示我们的机器人早上去上班时，它转过身来说：‘我宁愿去海滩’。

”他说，总有一天我们会想要法律来阻止我们的自由思考的机器人失控。

第三、四段用无人驾驶的汽车及机器人为例来说明我们制造了聪明的独立行为的机器人时，如果失控可能出现的问题。

根据以上的内容可知，我们使用机器人做事时，可能会出现的这种不可控制性，为此很担忧。

故选A。

34．B
推理判断题。

故选B项。

35．D
推理判断题。

根据最后一段最后一句“So can Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics be used in reality? Is it necessary to have a moral guideline that everyone can understand? Whatever it is, doing no harm should be the very first one.”阿西莫夫的三条机器人定律能在现实中使用吗？是否有必要有一个人人都能理解的道德准则？有关存机器人的法律不管是什么，无害的应该是第一（即最基本的就是无害）。

分析四个选项，Ｄ项（机器人应对人们的生活及工作有帮助），是符合无害的，可知Ｄ是正确，B项（机器人应遵循阿西莫夫的三大定律）是不对的。

A项（机器人在生活中应该谨慎使用）和C项（机器人应该便于人们操
作）没有提及。

故Ｄ项正确。

【解析】人的生命感觉是无限的，其实生命此短暂，每个人都会故去。

生命如此宝贵，我们活着时，要相信自己，不要懒惰，不要浪费时间，更不要浪费，这样的生活才有意义。

36．D
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

本小题是小标题。

根据下一段“I f you don't believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind,”可知是让你相信自己，不要怀疑自己。

分析选项可知Ｄ项（不要怀疑自己）正确。

37．A
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

本段说如果你不相信自己没人会相信你。

成功始于你的想法。

如果你所做的让你失望，就会失败。

相反的，如果你积极乐观，相信自己，你会快乐并成功。

所以本句应该是积极的态度。

分析选项可知A项(积极思考)符合题意，故选A。

38．G
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

本段小标题是“Stop Being Lazy”不要懒惰。

接着告诉我们懒惰的人很讨厌。

如果要我花一小时来说服懒惰的人起床和我一起做简单的事如看电影的话，那不如我自己去了。

所以别让别人浪费精力来让你做事。

分析选项可知G项（别让你的朋友和家人花费精力去激励你做事）符合题意。

故选G项。

39．F
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

本题所在的小标题为“Stop Wasting Time”不要浪费时间。

及下一句“Don't waste your time on unproductive things. ”别把时间浪费在无用的事情上，这是因为时间宝贵。

分析选项可知F项（时间是我们拥有的最宝贵的资源）符合题意，故选F项。

40．E
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。

本题所在的小标题为“4. Stop Being Wasteful”不要浪费。

上句为“You leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth,”你刷牙时
开着水龙头，这样宝贵的干净的水就流走了。

分析选项可知E项（宝贵的干净水倒掉了）符合题意，故选E项。

【点睛】七选五题型解题技巧
该题型对学生的考察能力总体从两个方面来考察；第一，把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系。

第二把握微观信息间关联性。

（即空格前后句间关系。

该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容），过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。

正确的解题思路分为两步：
（1）首当其冲看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。

（2）若问题在段首通常是段落主题句。

认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。

第1题是小标题。

分析下一段内容可知是让你相信自己，不要怀疑自己。

分析选项可知Ｄ项（不要怀疑自己）正确。

（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。

由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。

如第3、4、5题就是利用本段的小标题，及空前空后的内容推测出正确答案的。
