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。注意：此题答案写在第二卷上

Winter running is the best way to lose winter weight. But before heading out, make sure you have a solid plan. You don’t want to come across accident along the way.__ 1.__

Wear the Right Shoes

The right shoes will depend on the road. You want shoes that are made for the kind of surface you run on. For example, if you are running on slippery surfaces, you want shoes with great friction(摩擦力). _2.__When trying out a pair of running shoes, check the fit, feel and ride of the shoes. These elements(要素) are important once you take your new shoes out for a run.

Warm Up

Warm up is an important part to keep fit. Especially if temperatures drop and your muscles are stiff(僵硬的) from the cold! ___ 3._ It also prepares the muscles for the intense (激烈的) activity ahead. The cold climate won’t feel as cold when you do warm ups. This is because blood flows much faster after a good warm up!

Deal with Wind

__4.___The key is to run into the wind and finish by running against it. This keeps icy wind from blasting(用力撞击) your face. To prevent any injuries or accidents, break your run into small parts. _5.__ You can use certain creams on the nose and cheeks to prevent frostbite(冻疮).Don’t skip your sun-block if you’re running during the day. UVB(紫外线)passes through the clouds. Running for an extended period on a cloudy day will still damage the skin!

A．Don’t run in the wind.

B．Running makes you warm.

C．Warming up prevents injuries.

D．It’s hard to run if it’s too windy.

"Yes，you can buy a ticket and fly to another city．But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different，"Dong Fang，said in an excited voice．He is one of 41students from Hangzhou No.14Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground．Inspired by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the UK，Ni Wangyue，a teacher in high school is holding a similar event．The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971in the England coastal city Bognor．People ran off the end of a pier （码头） with their own aircraft in an attempt to"fly"the farthest distance．

Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane"Weiming E"，which means an unknown goose．The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly．
"Our work is much more imaginative than others．With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings，it surely is the most eye-catching work，if not the best，"said Yu Liang，another student．

12．It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives．As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains，many people have lost three basic abilities．
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers．Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts，there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again． This is fine until you need to call someone for help，only to find your phone is not around．
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want．People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smartphones，they get lost and anxious．
But the worst lost skills may be social ones，meaning that some people are becoming socially inept （无能的）．People often bury themselves in their smartphones．As we're too absent-minded by what's happening in the virtual （虚拟的） some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even tell whether a person is happy or not．
Last August，researchers at the University of California，Los Angeles，studied 51students aged 11and 12who had over five hours'screen time every day．Their task was to tell the emotions of 48pictures of faces that were happy，sad，angry or scared．
The children made an average of 14.02mistakes at the beginning．But after a five-day camp without electronic （电子的） products，they made only 9.41mistakes on average．
Luckily，people still have a chance to get these abilities back．You should try to keep your parents'numbers in mind for emergencies．You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores，which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost．And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products．

A．you are able to turn to others for help
B．others are able to call you anytime and anywhere

19．Mothers of kids with disabilities might be more forgetful，as they age than other mothers，according to a new study．And mothers with a strong support system，a sense of control and a  history of regular exercise kept sharper than the other mothers．However，fathers of disabled  children did not differ from fathers of non-disabled children in memory skills as they aged．
That's not surprising，considering past research that has shown parents with disabled kids  tend to feel more stressed and to have more psychological problems like depression．In the study，parents were tested on memory and fluency，reasoning，working memory and ability to switch their attention．Physical health，physical activity，depression，sense of control，social support and negative parenting experience were also included．
The mothers of disabled kids tended to be much more depressed，in worse physical health  and to feel they had less of a sense of control than mothers without disabled kids．For instance，18percent of mothers of disabled children reported having been depressed in the 12months prior to the study，compared with 7percent of mothers without disabled kids．Mothers of disabled children also had less support from friends than women without disabled children．Besides，among the women with disabled children，being more educated and having more social support were linked to significantly better memory ants thinking．
Fathers with disabled kids had more negative parenting experiences than fathers whose kids were not disabled．The researchers did not have information about the severity（严重）of the    children's disabilities，their ages，or about any disabilities or other health problems among the    parents．They acknowledge in their report that because they only looked at one point in time，they cannot say whether parenting a disabled child caused the memory differences they observed．

16．Not all great meals come from restaurants．Some are served from carts and stalls，and eaten on the go．So-called street food is not only delicious，but can be found in nearly every country，rich or poor，says Carla Diamanti，co-author of Street Food：Authentic Snacks from Around the World．"It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place，"says the Italian writer，who has nibbled her way around the globe．She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us．

Bento boxes：Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring．Bento boxes are filled with different dishes：often fish，meat，pickled vegetables，rice or tofu．"It's really just a taste，"she says．While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays，they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212-757-5640； www．jnto．go．jp
Jamaa el Fna Square，Marrakech，Morocco
Food stalls：When the sun begins to set，this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing，dance and eat．Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat，chicken and rice．"There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time，"Diamanti says.212-221-1 583； www．visitmorocco．com/index．php/eng/

17．When your child is supposed to doing homework，they chatting，their friends on Facebook or playing games'!If you want your child to do a good job with their homework and get good grades then you may want to start teaching them that this isn't the best idea．Many studies have shown that multitasking（多任务化）doesn't work，even though your child is probably proudly claiming they can do ten things at once!Many people believe that they can perform two or more tasks meanwhile，but Dr Edward Hallowell says this is a myth．The reality is that shifting tasks results in poor job performance．
New devices such as smartphone，iPads，games and social networking sites make it very easy to multitask and"attention share"resulting in difficulty focusing on the task at hand such as listening in the classroom or doing homework．"Unfortunately．the brain actually rewards kids for multitasking even though performance on every task gets worse and worse．Kids don't know that they are doing worse because they feel better when they multitask，"says Dr Edward Hallowell．
Since the appearance of hand-held devices and social networking sites like Facebook，teachers have noticed a difference in academic performance，critical thinking skills and how information is processed．"Multitasking prevents people from gaining a deep understanding of the information they are trying to learn，"says Dr Edward Hallowell．Kids have a difficult time sticking with a"difficult to understand"topic and are more likely to allow themselves to be distracted（分散精力），to tune out and switch over to Facebook or using their cell phones rather than working harder at understanding a difficult subject or problem．In the long run，the shifting of attention by multitasking affects grades．One study showed that kids that use the Internet while in class did poorly on tests resulting in lower grades．
33．What does the passage mainly talk about？C
A．Multitasking is not truth but myth．
B．The multitasking generation．
C．Multitasking results in poor grades．
D．Children are proud of multitasking．
34．What view does the author hold according to the last paragraph？D
A．Multitasking doesn't affect kids'grades in the long run．
B．Kids multitasking are better at shifting attention．
C．Kids should avoid a most difficult problem．
D．The Internet doesn't help kids learn in class．'
35．What is probably discussed in the paragraph following the．passage？C
A．Different attitudes towards multitasking．
B．Why children like multitasking．
C．What to do with children multitasking．
D．The disadvantages of multitasking．
