B Children will lack the work skills they need in the future because they are not spending enough time playing, a Lego executive (总经理) has warned. John Goodwin, head of Lego' s charitable arm the Lego Foundation, says less time in the classroom and more time playing is the solution. If not, he believes companies will find it increasingly difficult to hire the type of staff they need: "Critical thinking and problem solving starts in early childhood development. It' s where the foundations are laid. " Mr. Goodwin said technological advances, particularly the growth of the Internet, meant that knowledge itself had become outdated. Instead he said it was now more important to teach children how to learn and work things out for themselves, with play being one way to achieve this goal. Yet in a warning that will be familiar to many parents, the Lego Foundation Chief says "the increasingly overscheduled world"of children has resulted in less time for them to do so. This could have " serious long term consequences(后果) "for companies, he says. Mr. Goodwin is not the first to warn about the issue: Several studies have linked a drop in play with negative consequences. Dr Peter Gray, a US psychologist and professor at Boston College, has argued that the fact children play less has lead to an increase in childhood mental disorders including anxiety and depression. " In play,children themselves must decide what to do and how, and they must solve their own problems. .. and therefore develop competence and confidence," he wrote recently. 24. What is the solution to the lack of work skills in the future? A. Children should lean the work skills in the classroom. B. Parents should help children master the skills. C. Children should be allowed to play more. D. The Internet should be used to offer help. 25. Why is play so important for children according to the passage? A. Because play can help children develop critical thinking. B. Because children can learn to solve problems independently. C. Because how to play is as important as how to learn. D. Because researchers have proved play is good for working. 26. According to the passage,what may be one of the consequences in Paragraph 4? A. The workers will work longer in the company. B. The company will meet more problems in development. C. Children will have no time to find suitable jobs in future. 4 D. Parents will spend more time helping children learn work skills. 27. Which proverb can describe the main idea of the last paragraph? A. God helps those who help themselves. B. No pains, no gains. C. Knowledge is power. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. C Whether it is arguing until"blue in the face" or feeling" green with envy" , the English language is well - stocked with idioms linking color to emotion. Now for the first time, scientists have shown that people actually do change the facial color depending on their feelings. Although it is a delicate change to the skin around the nose, eyebrows, cheeks or chin, the effects are picked up subconsciously(下意识地) by observers,making it very hard to hide emotions. It means that a sad person, attempting to put on a brave face, will still give away the color of his or her unhappiness,secretly showing the sorrow behind the smile. The scientists believe the changes of color are caused by blood flow channelled from the central nervous system depending on our state of mind. "We identified patterns of facial coloring that are unique to every emotion we studied, " said Dr. Aleix Martinez at Ohio State University. "We believe these color patterns are due to delicate changes in blood flow or blood composition ( Ek3) caused by the central nervous system. Not only do we notice these changes in facial color, but we use them to correctly identify how other people are feeling, whether we do it consciously or not. " For the study, the researchers first took hundreds of pictures of facial expressions and separated the images into different color channels that correspond to how human eyes see color either in a red/green channel or blue/yellow. They then ran the images through computer analysis and found that emotions such as" happy" ," sad" , " anger" or " disgust" all formed unique color patterns. It also enabled researchers to construct computer algorithms(计算机算法) that correctly recognize human emotion via face color up to 90 percent of the time. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 28. Why did the author use some idioms at the beginning of the article? A. To ask the readers to change emotions with the author. B. To tell the readers the importance of facial color. C. To analyze the universal usage of idioms. D. To introduce the topic of the article. 29. What is the reason causing the faces to change color? A. Our emotion affects the flow of our blood. B. The other people realize our hidden emotion. C. Our central nervous system causes the change of the skin. D. We have strong reactions to the change of colors. 30. Which statement may Dr. Aleix Martinez agree with? A. People will change emotions with the change of facial color. B. The computer can identify a man' s emotion absolutely correctly. C. Every emotion has its own color pattern. D. A red face means the man is very happy. 31. The article probably can be read from _ A. a fashion book B. a science report C. a book review D. a science fiction 5 D United Airlines found itself in the middle of a social media storm, after the US carrier forcefully removed a passenger from a flight due to overbooking. In a video posted online, a United Airlines passenger, who is an Asian, is violently removed from a United Airlines flight by police officials at Chicago' s O' Hare international airport. Guards can be seen aggressively grabbing and then dragging the passenger down the aisle (过道) of the plane, which was bound for Louisville, Kentucky. The airline said in a statement that the flight was overbooked, and that no passengers agreed to voluntarily give up their seats. United said airline representatives chose four passengers to leave the plane at random according to ticket class, frequent flier status and check - in time, and that one man selected refused to leave his seat. The man then was violently removed. Passengers from the flight reported that the man was eventually allowed back on the flight, face bloodied and looking confused. Video seems to confirm that, although the reason why is unclear, it is reported that the man is a doctor and told flight officials he had to see patients in the morning. After viewing the video and seeing the bloodied face of the passenger, many people criticized United's racism and cruelty. Some even said they would boycott the airline. So the company is facing increasing pressure around the world and United is also suffering from broader worries among investors about US airline performance. In fact, overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset (抵消) the number of the passengers who miss flights by selling several more tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four employees to a connection point and needed four passengers to make way for them. 32. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage? A. The airline representatives hit the man violently. B. The flight was bound for Chicago. C. The man wasn't allowed back on the flight . D. Four men were asked to leave the plane. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. The man was unsatisfied with the money given by United Airlines. B. United Airlines is in the middle of a social media storm because of a crash. C. The man refused to leave the plane because he had got an appointment the next day. D. United Airlines threatened four passengers. 34. The underlined word "boycott" in Paragraph 5 most probably means A. regret B. refuse C. report D. remember 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. Two men were removed from the flight violently. B. United Airlines will give some money to the man. C. Many people are angry after seeing the video. D. The video was put on the Internet by the man himself. 第二节：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Coughs are one of the most common symptoms of childhood illness.
