题目内容

【题目】 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 (自闭症). “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.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是玩具制造商正在为提高孩子的情商努力创造一些玩具，这些玩具可以寓教于乐，让孩子们在玩耍中学到知识，并可以提高孩子的情感表达能力。

【1】细节理解题。根据第三段中PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things.可知，PleIQ是一套塑料玩具积木。它利用视觉现实技术来教授单词、数字和其他东西。由此可知，PleIQ通过呈现视觉图像来指导孩子学习。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据第四段中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给出的一些指令，因为他认为这是一个伙伴，而不是父母或其他人告诉他某些事情。由此可推知，Woobo可能是孩子们的好伙伴。故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this-getting her feelings expressed out.可知，最重要的是她能说话。而这就是关键——让她表达出自己的感受。由此可推知，Jonathan Erickson觉得他的玩具能帮助孩子们很好地表达自己。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。根据第一段中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开发这些产品，以提高儿童的情商。结合本文介绍的是玩具制造商正在为提高孩子的情绪智力努力创造一些玩具，这些玩具可以寓教于乐，让孩子们在玩耍中学到知识，并可以提高孩子的情感表达能力。故A选项“玩具有助于建立情商”符合文章标题。故选A。

概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。如第四小题，根据第一段中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开发这些产品，以提高儿童的情商。结合本文介绍的是玩具制造商正在为提高孩子的情绪智力努力创造一些玩具，这些玩具可以寓教于乐，让孩子们在玩耍中学到知识，并可以提高孩子的情感表达能力。故A选项“玩具有助于建立情商”符合文章标题。故选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. I have realized that we failed because we don't try your best rather than we are not intelligent.

【题目】 Our peers(同辈)usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it comes to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers.

【题目】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(强迫), 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(绦虫), 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
