From earliest infancy （婴儿）, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often and will e back to again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a childs development.In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a babys ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling(乱涂) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with othersBy the third stage of play developmentfrom five to seven or eight years old the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school bee the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 37. The writer wants us to understand that a child_. A. cannot grow up without toysB. matures（使成熟） through play C. uses toys as friendsD. has to be taught how to play38. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents _.A. determine his character B. will not change after the age of threeC. partly determine the standard he is likely to reachD. to a large extent determine the choice of toys39. The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about_.A. two years oldB. one year old C. six years oldD. four years old40. The article is about_.A. the importance of playB. the importance of booksC. the relationship between play and workD. childrens speech development五、 任务型阅读（20分）People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individuals tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.What news stories do you read?Division ofnews stories People expect to get (41) from reading news. News stories are roughly divided into two classes. Some news will excite their readers instantly while others wont.(42)ofthe two classes News of immediate reward will seemingly take their readers to the very frightening scene without actual (43) . Readers will associate themselves closely with what happens in the news stories and (44)similar feelings with those involved. News of delayed reward will make readers suffer, or present a (45) to them. News of delayed reward will induce the reader to (46)for the reality while news of immediate reward will lead the reader to (47)from the reality.Unstable boundariesof the two classes What readers expect from news stories are largely shaped by their (48) . Serious readers will both get excited over what happens in some news stories and (49) themselves to the reality. Thus, the division, on the whole, (50)on the reader.一、单项选择1-5ABBBD 6-10BCDDC 11-16DDDAAA二、 完型填空 17-21ABDCA 22-26BCBDB 27-31CADCA 32-36CBDDA三、阅读理解 BCDA五、任务型阅读41. rewards/rewarded 42.
