ATime for Kids (TFK) gets the great news on the coolest toys for 2014 at the 111th American International Toy Fair.What’s four days long, bigger than seven football fie lds, and filled with thousands of toys? It’s Toy Fair 2014!Each year, hundreds of toy companies from across the country come together in New York City. All kinds of products are shown as a way to know what’s to come in the new year. This year’s trends (款式) include oversize toys. “In 2014, everything is really big and really out there,” says Adrienne Appell, a toy-trends expert.Toy Fair is the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere (西半球). Toy-store buyers go to the event to decide which toys they may want to sell during the holiday season. Members of the media, like TFK, go to the fair to report back on all the cool trends. Unfortunately, Toy Fair is not open to the public.This year’s Toy Fair was the biggest in its 111-year history. More than 1,000 toy companies showed products from simple card games to high-tech robots. “Larger Than Life”was a Toy Fair favorite. This trend is all about big toys with a big play value.Though it is all fun and games at Toy Fair, we saw lots of products making a push towards education, with STEAM. That stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This trend includes word games. And of course, we saw some super cool, high-tech games. “Technology is always going to influence toys,” says Appell.“This year we saw lots of 3D games, and robots.”To know more information about the event, click (点击) here to watch the video.21. What can we infer from Toy Fair 2014?A. Toys are becoming more educational than fun.B. Robots are great favorites of buyers.C. Big toys will be popular this year.D. Simple card games will disappear on the market.22. What’s special about Toy Fair 2014?A. It is the largest.B. It is the longest.C. It sells all of its toys.D. It’s held in New York City.23. What’s the best title for the text?A. Kids love toysB. Toy-stores in New York CityC. Technology changes toysD. Time for toys24. The text is taken from a _____.A. websiteB. newspaperC.magazineD. TextbookBAdults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.In a study about 31 per cent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 per cent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts.A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots wouldhelp them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables.Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 per cent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't.Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists now believe it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood.Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said, "It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.25.We can know from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parentsB. milk is beneficial to children's physical strengthC. there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's healthD. about 29 percent people wish their children good health26.Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree?A. Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did.B. Most persuasive stories about food are false.C. Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation.D. Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true.27.We can learn from the passage that ________.A. scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strongB. parents are expected to tell children the truth about foodC. runner beans can really make children run fastD. crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loafCThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat family.Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowly.Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boring.Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it many times. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gain.Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positivechanges in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear ly quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.28. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the result of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.29. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.30. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition(前兆) for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misunderstanding about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.DThere is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒骂) the day they were invented.But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg —who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.32. What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?A. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.B. To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.D. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.33. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones?A. It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.B. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.C. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.D. It is natural to tell lies about small things.34. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?A. Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.B. With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.D. People get so obsessed with the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.35. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Never let cell phones disturb your life too much.B. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.C. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.D. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.第二部分根据短文内容,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。

For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.24．When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico，his mother________.A．wanted to go with him B．worried about his safetyC．didn’t allow him to do so D．asked his grandmother for advice25．The author decided to move away for college to________.A．be different from his peers B．keep away from his motherC．be independent in the outside world D．make his mother unhappy26．We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother________.A．had a high expectation of him B．was too strict with himC．used to expect nothing from him D．cared little about his learning27．In the passage，the author mainly wants to tell us________.A．his long way to becoming independentB．his good relationship with his motherC．the importance of a mother’s trust and supportD．his mother’s deep love for himCPhrases like “tiger mom”and ‘‘helicopter parent”have made their way into everyday language. Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, conducted by Diana Baumrind, a famous psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence. These “authoritative parents”appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically, psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved, or controlling and more involved. Why is this parenting style so successful?Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children. Carol Dweck, a social psychologist at Stanford University, has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children. In a typical experiment, Dr. Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how clever they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence. Dealingwith more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one’s status as “smart”. Dr. Dweck’s work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident. If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can’t walk, you reduce her confidence. Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.28.
