Mary Pottanat，13I believe video games are not a form of art. Art should be a visual (视觉的) and creative expression of feelings.Although it is arguable that video games are visual，they do not express feelings in any way. Pranab Kirshnan，12However exciting video games are，they are not art.Painting is art，but not video games.Art has beauty and culture that no technology could ever compare to.Even though you can create art in some video games，the “Mona Lisa” wasnt painted with Nintendo Caroline Kaplan，10Art is a way of communicating ideas to the public in a way that is fun to them.The “public”，who in this case are kids and adults，are finding these video games from different time periods interesting.Video games would not have been art if it had not been for the kids and adults attracted by “the art of video games” Ryan Puthumana，10【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了电子游戏是不是艺术。5. The underlined word “Nintendo” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to“ ”Aa form of artBa kind of cultureCthe latest technologyDa video game company【解析】词义猜测题。画线部分前面提到电子游戏，那么后半句也应该跟电子游戏有关。Nintendo“任天堂”，是一家电子游戏公司。【答案】D6Ryan Puthumana holds the view that video games Aarent fun enough to be artBare so interesting that they are artCcannot express feelings as well as artDare not so popular with kids as before【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段Ryan Puthumana所说的“Art is a way of.fun to them”以及“Thepublic，eresting.”可知，在Ryan Puthumana看来，艺术是用一种有趣的方式跟大众交流思想，而大众觉得这些来自不同时期的电子游戏十分有趣，可见他认为电子游戏很有趣，是一种艺术。【答案】B7. We can learn from the text that ACaroline Kaplan disagrees with Mary PottanatBonly one kid thinks video games are similar to artCPranab Kirshnan doesnt like playing video gamesDthe older the kids are，the more they like video games【解析】细节理解题。根据Caroline Kaplan所说的“but not video games”以及Mary Pottanat所说的“In order to make a video game.That is the point of art.”可知，两个人的观点不一致。【答案】A8The text mainly discusses Athe differences between video games and artBwhy people like or hate video gamesCwhether video games are art or notDwhat can be considered works of art【解析】 主旨大意题。文章第一段的“The exhibition has created debate.belong in museums.”点明了主旨。【答案】CCFirst published in 2001，the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature.It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel，on whom Life of Pi is based，is a young boy living in Pondicherry，India，where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patels family decide to move to Canada，along with their zoo animals for their new home. However, because of thebad weather，the ship sinks.Pi along with an orangutan (猩猩)，an injured zebra，a hyena (鬛狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena，leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker，Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat，he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest，leaving Pi alone.After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pis story，he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother，a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer.They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.In my view，Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.【语篇解读】本文介绍了加拿大著名作家扬马特尔的小说少年派的奇幻漂流。9. We can learn that the book Life of Pi Awas written in 2001Bwas awarded two prizesCtells a story about friendshipDis based on the authors personal experience【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的“.won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature.”可知，这本书被授予两项大奖。【答案】B10In the book Life of Pi the hyena is killed by APi Bthe zebraCthe orangutan DRichard Parker【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的“The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena”可知，老虎把鬣狗吃掉了，同时根据“a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker”可知，这只老虎名叫 Richard Parker。故选D。【答案】D11How does Pi escape being eaten by the tiger?ABy catching fishes for the tiger.BBy locking the tiger in a cage.CBy being the leader of the two of them.DBy fighting with the tiger.【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段的“Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.”可知，为了避免被老虎吃掉，Pi处处表现为他们两个的首领。【答案】C12. What happens after Pi arrives in Mexico?AThe tiger dies.BHe tries to escape.CThe Mexicans feel sorry for him.DThe Mexicans doubt his experience.【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pis story”以及“though they do not believe a word of it”可知，当Pi到达墨西哥时，墨西哥人不相信他的经历。【答案】DD【导学号：97770051】Parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops.New research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.Kristy vanMarle，professor of the University of Missouri，has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown，infants(婴儿)are able to quantify substances(物质)like sand or wateras early as 10 months.As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough，infants will choose the larger amount，especially when it comes to food.With the assistance of her team researchers，vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups：one containing a small amount of food，and one containing a larger amount.Consistently，the babies chose the larger amount.“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see；however，infants dont seem to count things like water or sand，” vanMarle said.“What were saying is that they can quantify substances; its just much harder.The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories.They decide which amount is larger，and they almost always select the larger one.”“This information further refutes (驳斥) the longheld idea that babies know nothing of the world，” vanMarle said.“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures，weve discovered a lot of early abilities.I think for parents，it should be exciting to know that theres somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world，and that knowledge is guiding their development，”vanMarle said.In the future，vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a childs progress in mathrelated skills，although programs marketed to increase those abilities，such as “Baby Einstein”，still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.【语篇解读】 新的研究发现婴儿具有很强的数量概念，他们几乎总是本能地选择数量较多的物体，尤其在食物方面，这种突破性科学发现有力地驳斥了长期以来认为婴儿对世界一无所知的观点。13The quantifying ability refers to the ability to .Achoose between different substancesBget much knowledge of the worldCidentify the quantity of somethingDobtain mathrelated skills【解析】推理判断题。由文章内容可知，婴儿几乎总是挑选数量多的物体，由此可推断这种能力指的是区分物体数量的能力。【答案】C14Babies choose the larger amount of food Aby saying numbersBwith the help of parentsCon personal preferenceDthrough their natural abilities【解析】推理判断题。文章倒数第二段提到婴儿具有认知世界的一些基本知识，由此可推断他们选择数量比较多的食物是本能的体现。【答案】D15. We can learn from the text that Asome parents dont care about their kidsBpeople used to think the world is known to babiesClittle research has been done on infantsDscholars have different opinions on babytraining programs【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段后半部分中的内容可知学者们就婴儿培训计划存在分歧。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety (焦虑) is not uncommon.When you recognize your teen is under stress，how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?Be involved (参与).
