18、nersB14、 Most people may think that people who write computer code (代码) must be good at Maths and logical (逻辑的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.Software developers (开发者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. T

19、he game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “Its an analytical (

20、分析的) skill,” said Dodge.But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that were teaching kids how to be creative with cod

21、e and thats a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l think youre going to have to under

22、stand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isnt as smart as they think it is.1What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?AT

23、raining kids logical thinking.BHelping kids learn to code fast.CHelping children learn Maths well.DHelping kids become more creative.2What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?AIt needs to be improved.BIt can help kids play well.CIt is of great help to todays kids.DIt is not perfect in training

24、 kids analytical skills.3What can we learn from the passage?AIf someone doesnt learn Maths well, he or she cant write code.BCreativity comes from writing code in daily life.CWriting code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.DA lot of parents agree that software code will be useful

25、 for their kids future jobs.4The writer wrote this passage _.Ato tell how to learn to code wellBto tell about a new game for kidsCto encourage kids to learn to study wellDto show the importance of creativityC15、According to a new study, cats may be just as smart as dogs. Both cats and dogs may have

26、episodic memory（情景记忆）, similar to that of human beings.The discovery shows that cats can recall memories of positive experiences like eating a delicious snack. The study was a test of episodic memory. Episodic memory means memory of past experiences that happened at a special time and place.In the t

27、est, cats were led to four open bowls of food. They were allowed to eat from two of them. After fifteen minutes, empty bowls took the place of the old ones. Then the same cats returned to look for food again. They spent more time searching for the old bowls.It seemed that the cats were able to remem

28、ber the information of “what” and “where” about the bowls. This discovery suggests that they may have episodic memory. However, its still not clear whether cats can truly experience past memories in the same way as human beings do. “Its difficult to know whether the cats can subjectively（主观地）remembe

29、r the experience,” Nick Diamond, a researcher at the University of Toronto, explained.Still, the test plays an important role in the development of memory research in animals. “It opens the door to new studies. How long can cats memories last? We may do some research on this in the future,” Professo

30、r Laurie Santos from Yale University told BBC News.The road to new discoveries is long and difficult. Though there are lots of problems to be solved and discussed along the way, such studies do lead us a step closer to the final success.1_ may have episodic memory.ADogs BPandas CElephants DSheep2It

First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.Aft

34、er the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants rem

35、ained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time

36、has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should

37、be admired (钦佩) for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving

38、 up, I say, is not a good choice.1What did the writers family do for him when he was seven?AThey built a farm of ants. BThey bought a few ants.CThey caught a lot of ants.

45、cled once, twice, three times around Millie.Millies heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she actually wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. From time to time, the bird flew closer and landed on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest tune that Millie had ever heard.The fastest w

48、henjinglun High School says he is a lucky boy. Hes happy that hes sitting the senior high school entrance exam (中考) in 2014 instead of 2016.On Oct 22, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education (北京市教委) announced that, from 2016, the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam will be reduc

49、ed from 120 to 100. Of the 100 points, the listening ability scores will increase to 50. Meanwhile, the points for Chinese will increase from 120 to 150.“The change wont affect me.

50、se in our study, and reduces students pressure, said Li Yi, spokesman of the commission.“The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English,” said Li. “ Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones.”There isnt ne

51、ws that other cities will have the same change. But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams.For example, Shandong is considering taking out the listening part of the English exam in its gaokao.But, “being tested for less points doesnt mean the subject can be

52、taken lightly.,” Bai Ping wrote in China Daily.English has long been the worlds most commonly used language. Former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji once said: “In a globalizing economy, if you cannot interact with foreighers, how can one be part of the world economy?”Wang Jiaming said he understood the c

53、hange. “Chinese, not English, is our mother tongue,” he said. “But still, I think English is both interesting and useful.”1In the Beijing senior high school entrance exam of 2016, _.Athe English scores will be cut down to 100Bthe English listening ability scores will be loweredCthe points for Chinese will be reduced by 30 pointsDthe points for chemistry will increase y 20 points2Wang Jiaming feels lucky because _.Ahe doesnt need to take the important examBthe exam changed from
