Scientific educational toys can develop kid’s reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking
capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination(协调). But the most powerful thing is that the
children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for
knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:
Science Kit
You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a
20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and
above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with
instructions for possible experiments.
Mini Terra Kit
You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-
inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED
light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients
to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.
Gravity Run
This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down.
The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning.
With 60 challenges(beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the
family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.
WeRo Kit
This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto,
and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for
the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to
perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own.
21．What is the greatest strength of scientific educational toys?
A．Training young scientists. B．Stimulating learning desire
C．Developing hand-eye coordination. D．Promoting spatial awareness and reasoning.

The alarm rang in my ear. After silencing it, I remained in bed. My motivation to
push ahead with my Ph. D. was disappearing, which made it hard to face each new day.
Continuing would risk a total breakdown. With anxiety, I decided to cease my Ph. D.
temporarily and take a 9-month position at a health care charity. Back when I looked for
第 3 页，共 3 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Ph. D. positions, I was unclear what I wanted to study. For me, the degree mostly served
as a means to an end, securing more interesting and higher-paid positions in the private
sector than my master's degree would unlock. So 1 wasn't picky and reasoned a variety
of projects would provide the training and degree I wanted.
In hindsight(事后想来), I should have been more selective. I ended up working on a
project I was technically capable of completing but over time felt full of disappointment.
The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled to see how it
would make an impact on the wider real world.
Some unexpected things amplified my trouble. I started my program in 2020，when
meetings were virtual and in-person contact was actively discouraged, so I had few
opportunities to form personal connections with co workers. Research became my only
focus, and when my interest in that faded, my project felt depressing.
After only 1 month at the charity, it became clear that I'd made the right decision.
My mental health improved and I found it easier to come into work. Things 1 did could
matter and energize me after all - if I chose wisely. That was exactly what I needed and
desired. After that realization, I decided I wanted to return to my Ph. D. program and
make changes. I told my teacher I wasn't interested in the current research. To my relief,
he was supportive, and we redesigned the project to better fit me. I will return to my
program next month, optimistic that this time will be different. But if it doesn't go as I
hope, my charity experience has given me direction and confidence that I'll live a
satisfying life, with or without a Ph. D.
24. What did the author view the Ph. D. degree as at first?
A. A struggle for new days. B. A way of getting a better job.
C. A breakthrough in his study. D. A chance to build connections.
25. Why did the author become disappointed at his project?
A. It was of slight practical use.
B. It had a high degree of difficulty.
C. It failed to meet his social need.
D. It showed an unpromising future.
26. What does the underlined word "amplified" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Reflected. B. Caused. C. Solved. D. Increased.
27. How did the charity work afet the author?
A. It inspired him to face challenges.
B. It made him regain self-confidence.
C. It helped him find a purpose in life.
D. It fueled his enthusiasm for his program.

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s
ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and
第 4 页 ，共 3 页lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD．
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred
ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan
civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学
家) stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very
similar”.
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological
discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the
ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings
highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable
climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man,
independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people
and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and
technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts
as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been
able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the
Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language
or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange
of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.
28．What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization?
A．Their starting time. B．Their historical origins.
C．Their cultural symbols. D．Their ceremony traditions.
29．The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ________.
A．silk was a common clothing material then
B．some technologies were developed much earlier
C．the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed
D．the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact
30．What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins?
A．Damp weather. B．Positioning of ruins.
C．High latitude. D．Language barriers.
31．What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph?
A．Our cultural knowledge is increasing.
B．The benefits of speaking a different language.
C．The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.
D．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a
glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His
idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below.
When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than
covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut
down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for.
“Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs.
author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other
things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to
bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that
climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us
a free ride.
Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone
in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate Choosers.
More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives. The engineers will get smarter, the
tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. but that then? “Just the mention of us
controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back, Grey writes.” “Something sounded
wrong about stopping ice by our own will,” he says.
Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the
place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind
howling, I’m happy not to be in charge.
32．Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph?
A．To introduce a possible solution to climate change.
B．To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate.
C．To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier.
D．To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming.
33．Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with?
A．The fight against climate change will not succeed.
B．Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost.
C．It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior.
D．Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.
34．What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate?
A．Favorable B．Tolerant C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．But should we fix the climate?
B．Is climate change a real problem?
C．How can we take care of the earth?
D．What if all the glaciers disappeared?

Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a
mask, and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people
lack verbal skills. 36 Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is
creative and capable of self-expression.
37 As a restorative practice, it allows people to express themselves in non-verbal
ways, such as drawing and painting. Even a 45-minute creative activity can change a person's
mental state. Working with an art therapist does even more: 38
Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities.
Adults, however, often have complex feelings about art and art making. They begin to evaluate the
quality of their art instead of focusing on self-expression itself. 39 However, art
therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is
technically brilliant, so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal
with life challenges.
What are art therapists’ superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative
artworks. For instance, people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another
human being. 40 These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without
compromising personal safety.
A．Art therapy is a double-edged sword.
B．Thus, the many benefits of creative self-expression are lost.
C．They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems.
D．But, obviously, releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice.
E．Art therapy, in its own ways, can influence a range of human functioning.
F．It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well-being.
G．However, with art therapists’ help, their energy could be changed into creative products.
