Days before the Spring Festival，families will clean their homes．People think cleaning sweeps away bad luck．It makes the house ready for good luck．

Also，don't borrow or lend money on these days．If you have borrowed money，return it before the Spring Festival．

分析 本文是一篇历史文化类阅读，主要简单介绍了一些中国春节的习俗和禁忌．

解答 52-55．ABCD
52题答案：A考查细节推理，根据文章第二段的On the eve of the Spring Festival，family members get together and have big meals．（在除夕夜，家人相聚一起吃大餐）可知本题答案为A选项．
53题答案：B考查细节推理，根据文章倒数第三段的So don't say any bad words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people．For instance，you'd better not say any bad words like"death"．（因此不要说任何不好的话、不要做任何会给别人带来不悦的事情．例如说与"死"相关的话）可知在春节期间不能跟别人说与死有关的话，因为中国人是很忌讳在春节这么喜庆的节日里听到"死"的；故本题答案为B选项．
54题答案：C考查词义猜测，中国的传统观念认为过年的时候如果打碎了东西，则意味着来年财运尽失（当然也有"岁岁平安"一说）；故横线短语意为"耗尽"．
55题答案：D考查细节推理，根据文章第二段的On the eve of the Spring Festival，family members get together and have big meals．（在除夕夜，家人相聚一起吃大餐）可知春节是"家人团聚的时刻"，故本题答案为D选项．

Developing an original and creative idea requires that two completely different networks in the brain work at the same time：the associative network alongside the more"conservative（保守的）"network，according to new research （41）D at the University of Haifa．
The researchers （42）E that"creative thinking apparently requires‘checks and balances'．"According to the researchers，creativity is our ability to think in new ways to solve problems．But not every original solution is considered a creative one．If the idea is not fully applicable，it is not considered creative，but simply one which is （43）A．
The researchers assumed that for a creative idea to be produced，the brain must （44）G a number of different and perhaps even contradictory（矛盾的） networks．In the first part of the research，respondents were given half a minute to come up with a new，original and unexpected idea for the use of different objects．Answers provided with low frequency received a high score for originality，while those given （45）C received a low score．In the second part，respondents were asked to give，within half a minute，their best characteristic（46）K of the objects．During the tests，all subjects were scanned using an FMRI device to examine their brain activity while providing the answer．
The researchers found（47）H brain activity in an"associative"region among participants whose originality was high．This region，which includes the medial brain areas，mainly works in the background when a person is not concentrating，similar to daydreaming．
But the researchers found that this region did not operate alone when an original answer was given．For the answer to be original，an additional region worked in cooperation with the associative region-the administrative control region，a more"conservative"region related to social norms and rules．The researchers also found that the stronger the （48）I，the better these regions work together in parallel，the greater the level of originality of the answer．
"On the one hand，there is surely a need for a region that produces innovative ideas，but on the other hand there is also the need for one that will know to （49）F how applicable and reasonable these ideas are．The ability of the brain to operate these two regions in parallel is what results in creativity．It is possible that the most （50）J creations of humanity were produced by people who had an especially strong connection between the two regions，"the researchers concluded．

11．When I first heard about geocaching（地理寻宝），I was skeptical．But the more I thought about it，the more it seemed like an interesting idea．I at least wanted to try it once．
   Having familiarized myself with how the game works，I set out in search of my first cache．My trip took me through a series of lively hutong （胡同），past a number of small temples，and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel．I spent  several  minutes  looking  around，but  couldn't  find anything．Just before I was about to give up，I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall．Could it be the hidden cache？
    At  that  moment  a  group  of  backpackers  arrived．According to the game's rules，people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches．So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave．When the coast was clear，I grabbed the object．It was the cache!I opened it and pulled out a crumpled （皱的） sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it．I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place，ready for the next geocacher to find．
     It may seem like a simple game，but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting．Once you're hooked，it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city．The real treasure，however，is not the cache itself，but the places it takes you to．
    Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed．Some are peaceful parks，while others are forgotten historical sites．A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought．Now，I feel a much closer connection．

24．What was the author's initial（最初的） attitude to geocaching？C
   A．He thought it interesting．
   B．He wanted to try it at once．
   C．He showed little interest in it．
   D．He found it unsuitable for him．
25．Where did the author find the cache？D
   A．In a hutong．  B．In a temple．
   C．In a well．    D．In a hotel．
26．When a group of backpackers were approaching，the authorD．
   A．pretended to be cleaning the yard
   B．made a call to other geocachers
   C．didn't allow them to come in
   D．tried to keep the cache secret
27．In what way does the author benefit from geocaching？A
   A．He's more familiar with the city．
   B．He has found much treasure．
   C．He has made more friends．
   D．He has mastered hunting．
12．Between sports，games，and playing outside，there is lots of competition for kids'time．Here are some ways they can still keep up their reading．
（36）A
Encourage kids to take five or ten minutes at the beginning of each day to read，before doing anything else．They can even set a timer （计时器）．It's always possible that they'll want to keep going after their time is up．
Match books to activities
Know a child going to soccer camp？Connect him or her with sports stories by authors like Matt Christopher．（37）E The Summer of May by Cecilia Galante is a moving story about a girl experiencing her own summer school．
（38）B
Encourage children to always carry a book with them．It sounds simple，but kids may be surprised to discover all the time during the day they have for reading-on the bus to camp，in a waiting room，or during breaks．
Have family reading time
Just as you set aside time for reading during the school year，ask families to devote 20minutes a day to books．（39）D
Set goals
Some kids will have no problem finishing reading four books in the summer．（40）G Meet with kids to determine them．

A．Read over breakfast
B．Always carry a book
C．Read for fun
D．Every family member should read during this time，including Mom and Dad．
E．Have a student who'll be in summer school？
F．That means three months with books can make a difference in their vocabularies．
G．Others may need to make sound plans，such as two books a month．
