researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages2and4later develop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知)aftercontrolling for differences in parents’income,education and the amount of parent talk,Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recordings of53child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between26and46months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at54months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,”Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time.Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently,and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills.However,boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.29.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A.Building confidence.B.Developing spatial skills.C.Learning self-control.D.Gaining high-tech knowledge.30.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？A.Parents’age.B.Children’s imagination.C.Parents’education.D.Child-parent relationship.31.How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play?A.They play with puzzles more often.B.They tend to talk less during the game.C.They prefer to use more spatial language.D.They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.32.What is the text mainly about?A.A mathematical method.B.A scientific study.C.A woman psychologistD.A teaching program.COnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk,I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had:Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess:energy,skill, sound judgment,creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,”said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stoppedhim cold.”Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life;boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.33.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A.He faced huge risks.B.He lacked mighty forces.C.Fear prevented him from trying.D.Failure blocked his way to success.34.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A.Swallow more than you can digest.B.Act slightly above your abilities.C.Develop more mysterious powers.D.Learn to make creative decisions.35.What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A.His physical strength.B.His basic skill.C.His real fear.D.His spiritual force.36.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To encourage people to be courageous.B.To advise people to build up physical power.C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D.To recommend people to develop more abilities.DIn2004,when my daughter Becky was ten,she and my husband,Joe,were united in their desire for a dog.As for me,I shared none of their canine lust.But why,they pleaded.“Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.”“But we’ll do it.”“Really?You’re going to walk the dog?Feed the dog?Bathe the dog?”“Yes,yes,and yes.”“I don’t believe you.”“We will.We promise.”They didn’t.From day two(everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots,to schedule her vet appointments,to feed and clean her,Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life(small,medium,and large),she calculated,“The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”Quickly,she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld(心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers,beam her need,and then wait,trusting I would understand—which,strangely,I almost always did.In no time,she became my fifth appendage(附肢),snoring on my home-office couch as I worked,cradling against my feet as I read,and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so,part of me continued to resent walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.Not fair,I’d balk(不心甘情愿地做)silently as she and I walked.“Not fair,”I’d loudly remindanyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day—January1,2007,to be exact—my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word:leukemia(白血病).With that,I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital,doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations,Becky,12at the time,adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school.My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed;no part of my old routine remained.Save one:Misty still needed walking.At the beginning,when friends offered to take her through her paces,I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty.The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet,peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded.The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household,it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar.Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty.Take her for a walk,and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results.On the street or in the park,she had only one thing on her mind:squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days,she could make me smile.On a daily basis,she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in2009，Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point.The truth is,after years of balking,I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty.As I watch her chase after a squirrel,throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory,she reminds me,too,that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future,there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.37.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A.She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B.It would be her business to take care of the dog.C.Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.She didn't want to spoil her daughter.38.It can be in ferred from Paragraph3that_______.A.Misty was quite cleverB.Misty could solve math problemsC.the writer was a slow learnerD.no one walked Misty the first day39.The story came to its turning point when________.A.Joe died in2009B.Joe fell ill in2007C.the writer began to walk the dagD.the dog tried to please the writer40.What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage?A.One should learn to enjoy hard times.B.A disaster can change everything in life.C.Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.D.People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.第二节（共5题，每小题3分，共15分）We all need physical exercise.Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy. It works our muscles and makes our heart work hard so as to send blood to our muscles.So, exercise makes our heart and muscles strong.Exercise also makes us feel refreshed.If you exercise a couple of times a week,you will stay happy and healthy.Some Western countries,such as the United States,have problems with exercise.In the US, many people don’t have enough exercise because it is hard for them.People have to work from dawn till dusk,so they don’t have time to take exercise.They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers.They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively.Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work.However,the majority of the people cannot do this.It is too far from their homes to their offices.They have no choice but to drive to work.In fact,some have to drive one or two hours to their offices.This has an unfavourable effect on them in two ways.First,these people don’t have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day.Second,driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention.It makes a person worn out.So,when these people arrive home at night,they don’t have the desire to take exercise after work.Today,many people in the West are overweight,which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health.So many people are trying to get more exercise.But it takes time to change,and when people don’t see a difference right away,they will lose heart and stop exercising.41．List two of the benefits we can get from physical exercise.(No more than15words) 42．Why can’t people in the US take enough exercise?(No more than10words)43．The underlined word in paragraph3probably means__________.(1word)44．Why do people who drive to work get worn out?(No more than10words)45．What advice would you give to office workers and why?(No more than20words)五、作文第一节应用文（共1小题，共15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。
