the delight of children everywhere.Theodore Roosevelts Presidency marks the beginning of the“Teddy Bear”.In the year 1902，toy bears were named“Teddy”after the presidents nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide，and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913，an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel，motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was AC.Gilbert，a medical doctor.Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.The following year，an architects son named John Lloyd Wright，invented Lincoln Logs，which were interlocked to make structures.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created，stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.The yo-yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929.The View-Master，a three dimensional viewer，was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3-D images from Disney movies and television programs.Finally，in 1940，model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military，but later caught on as a toy.The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isnt it interesting to know that if it hadnt been for all these creative people，most of the games you know today would never have been?26Why were toy bears named“Teddy”？ATo be suitable for mass production.BTo be easily pronounced by children.CTo meet the advertisers needs.DTo memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.27In which aspect do the toys created by Gilbert differ from those by Charles?AShape.BMaterial used.CThemes.DPrice.28When did the View-Master become popular?AAfter William Gruber was born.BAfter Gruber licensed Disney characters.CTwo years after Mickey Mouse was created.DWhen Disney merchandise was started.29From the last paragraph we can learn that_.Athose people who created these games should never be forgotten Bsome toys created in ancient times now disappear 学习必备 欢迎下载 Ccreativity exists in every field all the time Dtoys nowadays are totally different from those in ancient times 30What does the passage talk about?AThe function of toys.BThe history of Disney characters.CToys in the early 1900s.DThe financial meaning of toys.B “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug，FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually.Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.31It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.Aobjective Bcostly Cunreliable Dillegal 32Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe court is in charge of removing dangerous products.BNew products are more likely to be questionable.CThe production of a device must be approved by FDA.DThe promoters usually just care about profits.33FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product_.Aif it is a drug Bif it is a device Cif its consumers make complaints Dif its distributors challenge FDAs authority 34The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_.Aa product which was designed to produce electricity Ba product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

law on product safety Cgive advice on how to keep young and beautiful Dintroduce the organization of FDA C“A very disruptive(制造混乱的)six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher.“I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another.Many people have heard stories like this.But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child,regardless of the circumstances into which they are born,has the right to achieve their potential,regardless of their parents wealth and class.And we recognize that,as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff.This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents.Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork,unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families_living_separate_lives_under_one_roof.The bedroom,once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young.Spending hours in front of computer screens,on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games,children and young people spend little time with their parents.Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents.Both parties need to work together.Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control.They are responsible for setting boundaries for their childrens behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough.They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resourcestimeso that children come to school readily and are willing to learn.36In the opinion of the writer,what problem do people ignore?AThe school violence.BThe pressure of students learning.CThe right to achieve students potential.DThe responsibilities of the students.37The writers attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of _.Adissatisfied Bunconcern Cunderstanding Dtolerance 38The underlined part in Para.4 means_.Aparents and children live in their separate rooms Bparents care little about childrens life at home Cchildren dont live with their parents in the same room Dat home children live a different life from that of parents 39From the last paragraph,we can infer that _.Aschools cant correct the wrongs that society does to teachers Bteachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents Cparents should spend time with children

childrens bad habits.CThere is no point in parents teaching children at home.DDont blame teachers when its parents who are failing.D Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves,after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of“melody roads”，which use cars as tuning forks(音叉)to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽)They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface.The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are,a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes,and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Patent documents for the design describe it as notches(刻痕)“formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song.Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土机)before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph，but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well，”wrote one Japanese blogger.“Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward,while driving around 12 mph20 km/hhas a slow-motion effect,making you almost car-sick.”41According to the passage，melody roads use_to create different notes.Acars Bgrooves Cspaces between intervals Dbulldozers 42We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on_.Ahow far the grooves are Bhow big the grooves are Cthe number of the grooves Dthe speed of the car 43The underlined word“optimal”in the passage might mean_.Afastest Bpossible Cbest Dsuitable 44In order to hear the music well，you have to_.Adrive very fast Bdrive slowly Copen the windows wide Dkeep the windows closed 45Whats the best title of the passage?AA New

and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.可知，人们虽然很重视孩子的权利，却忽视了他们应当承担的责任，所以选 D 项。37A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者认为家长们应该负责制定子女的行为界限，坚持这些界限不可逾越。他们有责任为孩子树立良好的榜样以及为子女投入大量宝贵的资源时间让孩子们去学校，并愿意学习。由此可知作者对于父母们的表现是不满意的。38B 细节理解题。根据该段中的 young people spend little time with their parents和Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.可知，父母虽然和孩子住在一个屋檐下，但是对于孩子的行为很少关注。39C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，父母要负起教育孩子的责任，要给孩子树立一个良好的榜样，要花费时间多和孩子在一起，使得他们做好上学的准备，所以选 C。40D
