It helps them focus on their strong points and make them more self-confident. The workshop will run for three days to give children a more satisfying time during the holiday. There will be three different groups according to age.‎ Toy car racing Kids will have the chance to control their own solar powered (太阳能) racing models. After models have been tested in the fun “Pit Area”, kids will race against each other on a 10m track. With fun prizes, workshops also plan to encourage fair competitions and communication among kids of different ages.‎ Kids’ own pots Kitchen is the very heart of the family life. It’s where many of life’s lessons are learned. Feeding children can be one of the most difficult parts. Studies have shown that if children take part in the preparation of food, they are more likely to develop an interest in food and feel a strong sense of achievement. Cooking gives the perfect combination of fun and imagination, and it’s a great way to teach children about the food they eat. It is an excellent way to let little children learn about healthy food and get them on the “right road” from an early age.‎ ‎21. What will you do if your kids are not confident enough?‎ ‎ A. Choose the holiday workshop. B. Join in the toy car racing. ‎ ‎ C. Enjoy the kids’ own pots. D. Cook for kids every day.‎ ‎22. Besides racing against each other on the track, kids can also ______.‎ ‎ A. design their favorite prizes B. make their own models ‎ ‎ C. have a chance to communicate with other kids D. buy solar powered models ‎23. What is special about Kids’ own pots?‎ ‎ A. Children who join it should have good imagination.‎ ‎ B. It helps young children form good eating habits.‎ ‎ C. Children are more likely to become a cook if they join it.‎ ‎ D. It can help stop young children from being overweight.‎ ‎24. The text is most probably written for ______.‎ ‎ A. teachers B. organizers C. parents D. children B A Scottish illustrator (插画家) called Johanna Basford has driven the global pencil industry after the surprise success of her coloring-in books.‎ The fill-in drawings are designed for grown-ups and result in a huge demand nowadays.‎ As coloring-in fans compete to make their works perfect, pencil factories are now struggling to meet the demand for high-quality pencils. Faber Castell, the world’s largest wood pencil factory, says that it is now having to run extra hours at its factories.‎ ‎“People show interest in coloring-in because they are bored with digital products,” Ms. Basford says. “There is something nice about picking up a pencil. You are not going to get disturbed by Twitter. And there is also a childhood part when you do a bit of coloring-in.”‎ It is said that a lot of university-educated adults spend their spare time on a pastime that is below puzzler books and ludo game. Russell Brand produced a piece of writing named “Adult Coloring Books: Is this the end of the world?” “What has turned us into terrified adults that want to live in a childish condition?” he said. And what did Ms. Basford say about Mr. Brand? “It’s a case of whatever makes you happy, there’s no right or wrong about it,” Mr. Brand said. “Who knows? Maybe he just hasn’t found the right coloring-in book yet. Coloring-in fans just love their pencils, and they become real artists. It’s really nice that something I was crazy about is shared now.”‎ Ms. Basford’s first three books of drawings have now sold up to 16 million copies globally, with three million alone in China. A new one, Magical Jungle will come out soon. Coloring-in clubs have formed all over the world and people meet in cafes and online to compare their works.‎ ‎25. Why does Faber Castell work longer hours?‎ A. To meet the need for pencils. B. To set up some new factories.‎ C. To become famous in the world. D. To improve his pencil factory.‎ ‎26. What makes people like coloring-in?‎ A. It helps improve people’s minds. ‎ B. They are afraid of the adult world.‎ C. It is a way of following the fashion. ‎ D. They want to get away from high-tech products.‎ ‎27. What’s the attitude of Russell Brand to coloring-in?‎ A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.‎ ‎28. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Ms. Basford is very angry with Mr. Brand.‎ B. There is a good market for coloring-in books.‎ C. Coloring-in books were intended for children at first.‎ D. The pencil industry first suggested the idea of coloring-in books.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ C Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place? Lots of people have. Now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why.‎ They found that one half of the brain remains more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place. This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place, the researchers said.‎ The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology and by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people reported they had a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home.‎ They call it “first-night effect”. “In Japan, if you change your pillow, you can’t sleep,” said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report’s authors. “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”‎ The researchers measured brain waves for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart. They found during the first night the left ‎ hemisphere (半球) of the brain was more active than the right hemisphere. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.‎ Sasaki said a lot of questions remain. Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long, so they don’t know if the left hemisphere keeps “watch” all night. Or whether it “works in shifts (轮流)” with the right hemisphere later in the night. They also do not know why the extra brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left hemisphere.‎ For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That extra brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to feel well rested in the morning.‎ ‎29. Sleep problems in a new place may result from _________.‎ A. the so-called “first-night effect” B. the concern over personal safety C. the extra activity of the right brain D. the brain’s failure to work properly ‎30. What can be learnt from the study?‎ A. Brain waves were measured in two separate days.‎ B. The left brain develops better than the right one.‎ C. The extra activity is limited to the left brain.‎ D. The left brain keeps “watch” all night.‎ ‎31. For a good sleep, the brain’s “watch” could be ______.‎ A. helpful B. necessary C. unpleasant D. irresponsible ‎32. The text aims to _________ .‎ A. give some advice to people with sleep problems B. show the real link between the brain and sleep C. call attention to the brain activity D. explain the “first-night effect”‎ ‎[]‎ D They go up and they go down. They take people from one floor of a building to ‎ the exact same spot on another floor. A new technology will break elevators free from their vertical (垂直的) prisons, allowing them to move side to side, at an angle (角度), even go outside into a city. German company Thyssenkrupp has developed a new kind of elevator that uses maglev (磁悬浮) technology to move elevator cabins. Called Multi, these elevators are no longer limited to a single vertical path.‎ A funny thing happens when elevators can go anywhere. Tall buildings, which are designed to work around elevators, can start taking on different shapes. They can go wide, add towers or go in unusual directions, and make room for green spaces that otherwise would have been an inconvenience(不便). A single elevator can run from the east side of the first floor to the far west side of the 30th, no transferring or walking necessary. It gets even more interesting when an elevator leaves the building. Patrick Bass, Thyssenkrupp’s North America CEO, has worked in the elevator industry for 26 years. He thinks these elevators will create new transportation networks to support the cities of the future. As more people go into cities, there’s a renewed interest in creating energy efficient spaces. Moving people around quickly is a huge part of that.‎ He imagines Multi working perfectly with other Thyssenkrupp technology like the Accel moving walkway. Accel, which also uses maglev technology, speeds up after you step on and can go twice the speed of a regular moving walkway. It was the first use of maglev technology outside of a train. The Accel is already in use in some cities now.‎ ‎33. Compared with traditional elevators, Multi can __________.‎ A. go more smoothly B. go in any directions C. go up and down freely D. go directly from floor to floor ‎34. What will happen to buildings with Multi?‎ A. They will hold more people. B. They will become much higher.‎ C. They will be in different shapes. D. They will be connected to one another.‎ ‎35. In what way can Multi support cities of the future?‎ A. They save space in cities. B. They help avoid the rush hours.‎ C. They help people save money. D. They help move people around quickly.‎ 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。‎ There are some amazing habits of highly organized people that without any doubt are worthy of a few lessons.
