In this, a small pot containing chocolates, or any other item is placed on the floor where the party is being held. A kid is chosen (via chits) and is blindfolded. He is then handed a stick and placed in the center of the room. Theaim of the game is to move on the floor, and using the stick, find and hit the pot. Once the kid has found the pot, he can take the contents of the pot as his own. The game can be continued to be played by re-filling the pot and having others have a go at it.The Number GameIn German it‟s called the “Ein, Zwei, Drei…Halt”(1, 2, 3… Halt!) game. In this, the person who is tagged “it” stands at a distance backing the rest of the group. Then he/she says “Ein, Zwei, Drei…” in which time the kids have to run towards him. When he says “Halt”, he turns around to face the kids. When he turns, all the kids have to stop and adopt the statue mode---theyaren‟t to move at all. If “it” finds any of them moving, they‟re out. The game continues till either all have been dismissed or one of the kids crosses the finish line.Hiding SardinesThis is a popular game in Germany and goes by the name “Sardinen”. In this game, a kid is chosen to hide while the others have to find him. They have to count, say up to 30 (or any other number) in which time the kid hides in a place. Once the counting stops, the kids have to find him. When anyone finds the child, they have to hide with him. One by one the kids join the original kid in the hiding place. This continues till the last one finds the hiding place. It‟s a whole lot of fun if it is combined with dim lights so that the hide and seek game becomes even more challenging. A simpler version of the sardine game is the Verstecken game, which means “hide and seek”.The Cat and MouseIn Germany, this game is popular by the name “Katz and Mous”. This game is very popular among the younger kids because it is an energy-packed activity with lots of running around. In this game, one of the players is the cat while the other the mouse, and the rest of the kids form a circle. The aim of the game is that the cat has to catch the mouse. The mouse can run anywhere---into and out of the circle. There is added fun introduced because the circle sometimes allows the mouse to enter and at other times blocks him. When the mouse is caught, there are chits drawn to decide who the next cat and mouse will be.Packing a suitcaseKnown as Koffer packen in German, this game is a handy little one for when the kids are done with the fun and are just sitting about. Get the kids to sit in a circle. The first kid starts off by saying “I packed a suitcase and I put a muffler in it”. The next kid continues with “I packed a suitcase and I put a muffler and a shirt in it”. The chain continues with each kid repeating the previous items on the list and adding another of his own. Those who mess the order or leave out the previous items are disqualified and the chain continues till there is one kid remaining, he is declared the winner.56. Which two games have something to do with number-counting?A. Sardinen and Katz and MousB. Ein, Zwei, Drei…Halt! and SardinenC. Topfschlogen and Ein, Zwei, Drei…Halt!D. Katz and Mous and Koffer packen57. Which of the following games may probably consume the kids most energy?A. TopfschlogenB. SardinenC. Katz and MousD. Koffer packen58.

Which of the following statements is listed as a rule of the games?A. The mouse and the cat can only run inside the circle.B. A kid has to get his eyes covered when playing Hit the Pot.C. The kid with “it” should stand still when others say “Halt!”D. The next kid should repeat the previous items twice in “Packing a Suitcase”.BThe International Painting Contest on Google‟ s homepage in 2015 ma y look pretty strange，but it spotlightings a very serious issue: clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.Audrey Zhang, a fifth-grader from Levittown, N. Y, is the winner of this year‟s Doodle 4 Google contest, rising to the top of some 100,000 entrie s on the theme of “draw one thing to make the world a better place”.Her piece, titled “Back to Mother Nature”, describes a detailed water-cleaning machine. Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate（使……生动）her drawing.“To make the world a be tter place, I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,” Google quoted Zhang as saying, “It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers, lakes and even oceans, then massively transforms the water into clean, safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons.Zhang‟s piece is “so vivid and so rich and s o full and so complete”, Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post, “Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”Along with having her artwork featured on Google‟ s homepage, Zhang wins a $30,000 college scholarship. In addition, her school will receive a $50,000 , Google for Education technology grant, and the company is donating $20, 000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on the Internet, Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win, but said she wouldn‟t be awake when her art first went online at midnight.“I have school tomorrow, so I can‟ t stay up late,” she told the paper.60. What‟s the passage mainly about?A. The winner and her work in the painting contest.B. The team of artists at Google to animate drawings.C. The painting contest of Google‟ s homepage in 2015.D. The water-cleaning machine in the painting contest.61. According to the passage, we know that______．A. Audrey Zhang is creative and self-disciplinedB. a water-cleaning device was made in the contestC. $50,000 will be donated in Audrey Zhang‟ s nameD. Zhang‟s piece was printed in all major newspapers62. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”．A. puts up withB. looks forward toC. breaks away fromD. focuses attention onCAsk anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life---Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add “family” to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育者) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met t he son and said, “We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well.” And the son replied, “You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did.” So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father‟s arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life.Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. But he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. The moment he picked up his little baby, he said, “Well son, welcome to the world! I am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. I will teach you to be a good, just and fair man.”63. The writer writes Para.1 to _________.A. introduce the topicB. raise a questionC. present the surveyD. make a comparison64. What does the underlined expression “loving unit” ( Para.2) most probably refer to ?A. Lover.B. Family.C. Child.D. Life.65. In the writer‟s view, the mi llionaire businessman ________.A. won respect from the whole cityB. was fortunate to have a loving sonC. achieved great success in his lifeD. was a failure in the business of life66. What might be the title for the passage?A. What More Could a Family Be AboutB. How Should We Parent a ChildC. How to Take on Your ResponsibilityD. What Contributes to One‟s SuccessDThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological bases are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today‟s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. It‟s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.67. What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?A. Steam engines.B. Mass production.C. Use of electronics.D. Intelligent networks.68. Industry 4.0 will probably result in ________ in the world of manufacturing.A. production limited to an individual factoryB. everything connected with everything elseC. networks and processes no longer existingD. classic factories stopping their competition69. According to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing Industry 4.0?A. The European companies.B. The American government.C. The American companies.D. The German government.70. The writer‟s attitude toward Industry 4.0 can best be described as ________.A. supportiveB. negativeC. doubtfulD. cautious第II卷非选择题（共4大题；满分35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10 小题；每小题1 分, 满分10 分）注意：每空只填一个单词。
