【題目】 Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.

Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center.

PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.

On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch-screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自閉癥). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him about certain things.”

At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”

It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.

【1】How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?

A.By playing the role of a companion.B.By giving direct guidance.

C.By taking photos with a camera.D.By presenting visual images.

【2】What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?

A.It is programmed to replace teachers.B.It may be good company for kids.

C.It can get started automatically.D.It is intended to design games.

【3】What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?

A.They are quite easy to operate.B.They can teach children numbers.

C.They help kids express themselves well.D.They can show their emotions clearly.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.Toys are made to help to build emotional intelligence.

B.Educational toys sell well at the International Toy Fair.

C.Toymakers are making profits in education.

D.Children celebrate the International Toy Fair.

本文是一篇說明文。介紹的是玩具制造商正在為提高孩子的情商努力創(chuàng)造一些玩具，這些玩具可以寓教于樂，讓孩子們?cè)谕嫠Ｖ袑W(xué)到知識(shí)，并可以提高孩子的情感表達(dá)能力。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things.可知，PleIQ是一套塑料玩具積木。它利用視覺現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)來教授單詞、數(shù)字和其他東西。由此可知，PleIQ通過呈現(xiàn)視覺圖像來指導(dǎo)孩子學(xué)習(xí)。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.可知，孩子可以和Woobo交流，并遵循Woobo給出的一些指令，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為這是一個(gè)伙伴，而不是父母或其他人告訴他某些事情。由此可推知，Woobo可能是孩子們的好伙伴。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this-getting her feelings expressed out.可知，最重要的是她能說話。而這就是關(guān)鍵——讓她表達(dá)出自己的感受。由此可推知，Jonathan Erickson覺得他的玩具能幫助孩子們很好地表達(dá)自己。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.可知，玩具制造商正致力于開發(fā)這些產(chǎn)品，以提高兒童的情商。結(jié)合本文介紹的是玩具制造商正在為提高孩子的情緒智力努力創(chuàng)造一些玩具，這些玩具可以寓教于樂，讓孩子們?cè)谕嫠Ｖ袑W(xué)到知識(shí)，并可以提高孩子的情感表達(dá)能力。故A選項(xiàng)“玩具有助于建立情商”符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A。

概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括(如議論文中尋找表達(dá)作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動(dòng)詞或反映人物特點(diǎn)的形容詞)。文中出現(xiàn)兩種或兩種以上的不同觀點(diǎn)時(shí)，務(wù)必牢記作者的觀點(diǎn)才是體現(xiàn)全文中心的。如第四小題，根據(jù)第一段中Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.可知玩具制造商正致力于開發(fā)這些產(chǎn)品，以提高兒童的情商。結(jié)合本文介紹的是玩具制造商正在為提高孩子的情緒智力努力創(chuàng)造一些玩具，這些玩具可以寓教于樂，讓孩子們?cè)谕嫠Ｖ袑W(xué)到知識(shí)，并可以提高孩子的情感表達(dá)能力。故A選項(xiàng)“玩具有助于建立情商”符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A。

I still well remember it was that I was in Senior Grade One. Every one of my class said I was smart and clever, but I fancied myself too. But to my great disappoint, I failed in a very important test. See through my puzzle, my head teacher said me, " Failure comes from lack of efforts rather than lack of ability. " It was his word that woke me up. From now on I spared no efforts to study and made a great progress in the end.

【題目】Why Dogs Chase Their Tails

It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail-chasing is a way for dogs to burn off some energy. In most cases, they're doing this for one of two reasons: 【1】.

If a dog doesn’t have anything (or anyone) to play with, it might need to entertain itself—in this case, by playing with its tail. On the other hand, the behavior could be a warning sign that your dog is becoming anxious or stressed. 'We call these displacement(替代) behaviors, similar to a human playing with their hair or tapping their foot, ' says Hartstein. '【2】.'

One reason tail-chasing can be a must-do for dogs is that they start playing with their tails as playful puppies learning about their bodies.【3】. 'The dog then learns it can get attention from its owners when it does that, ' says Hartstein.

【4】. But if your pet is doing it every day or it seems to become an obsession(強(qiáng)迫), you'd better watch out. A constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling neglected. Make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and socialization.

【5】. If the tail-chasing started suddenly, your dog might be reacting to a medical issue, like cognitive disorder, or tapeworm(絳蟲), says Hartstein. The sooner you get a medical checkup, the better. 'A lot of times, owners think, 'If I just wait, it will get better on its own, ' Hartstein says. 'But (behaviors) get more intense; they get more difficult.' With some treatment and extra training, you and your dog will both be happier.

A. They are happy and content

B. They're bored or they're stressed

C. A visit to the vet is also a good idea

D. They gradually get into the habit of chasing tails

E. Owners often laugh at the activity and talk about it

F. They seek to do things that can comfort themselves

G. It’s normal for dogs to chase their own tails every now and then
