(原创) The hottest “green” toy in Germany isn't made of organic or recycled materials. This one has a solar panel and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones” that power the space station. Germany, a pioneer in many renewable energy initiatives, is also at the forefront of creating environmentfriendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use, raising awareness through play. A number of hightech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair, which runs through Sunday. Among them, hydroelectricpowered (水电动力的) toy cars, and doll houses with wind turbines and rainwater. The bright green “Future Planet” space station features an inner atrium(中庭) with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell. Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.
Makers and retailers(零售商) believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future and that of our kids. “Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead，” said Judith Schweinitz, a spokeswoman for Playmobil, maker of the solar panelfitted space station. “It is increasingly being brought into our play concept.” Green toys which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness make up only a sliver of the $84 billion international toy market, but their share is growing, studies indicate. Environmental research firm Earthsense, based in Syracuse, New York, predicts that green toys will account for about $1 billion, or 5 percent, of U．S. toy sales in the next five years. Parents are smart and they want information about what's in the produce. That's what's really driving the market.

Ⅳ.阅读填空(每空不超过三个单词)
For the new generation, social media is parts of daily life. However, many children are not aware of the dangers associated with it. Therefore, it is crucial that parents monitor children for the most common problems, and for exposure to inappropriate content.
Using social media on a daily basis can have a negative impact on the health of all kids by making them more likely to have anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders. Daily overuse of social media also makes children more prone to future health problems.
Socialnetworking websites can make a bad influence on learning process. It was found that middleschool, highschool and college students who checked their Facebook accounts at least once during any given 15minute study period were so badly distracted that they had lower grades than other students.
For parents, psychologists and other experts can offer guidance. It is necessary to instruct a child not to give away any personal information online. Any user has the option of having his or her account set to “private”. Such an option helps to keep a child's private information from being seen by strangers. Parents also must check what their kids view, especially the pictures and comments that are available online. Besides, one of the best recommendations for concerned parents is to limit the amount of time that a child spends online. Websites such as Facebook can be addictive, and can distract children from schoolwork. Some parents might want to make it a rule that no social networking can done until all homework and other tasks have been completed. Last, facetoface social interaction should be encouraged as much as possible. Signing children up for sports or engaging them in other kinds of activities might be another good way to decrease the time they spend online.

3. D 考查形容词的词义辨析。此空的含义是“(职位)空缺的”，只有D项符合此意。
4. C 考查虚拟语气的用法。otherwise 后面的句子在本句中表示虚拟，且是对过去的虚拟，所以应用 would/might/could＋have done, 所以C 项正确。
5. B 考查谓语动词的时态。根据句意：在他去中国之前，他帮助了我很多。去中国用了过去时，在这之前应有过去的过去，所以选过去完成时。
6. C of equal importance 同等重要。
7. D A、B两项搭配是be worth doing和be worthy to be done或be worthy of。worthless 无价值的。
8. B 考查宾语从句的连接词的用法。 “他是如何看待我的”，应用 what he thought of me。

10. B be worthy to be done为固定搭配。

Ⅴ.One possible version：
Dear sister/brother，
How is everything?
As you know, it will be mom's birthday next Saturday. Dad and I had a discussion about how to celebrate her birthday yesterday.
Dad held the opinion that we should take mom to eat out, since we needn't do any preparation for it. But I suggested having a picnic in the park nearby. We family members can not only prepare it together but also have more time to chat and communicate with each other, which is beneficial to the harmonious family atmosphere. Besides, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and breathe the fresh air outside. Also, mom needs some relaxation, since she has been devoting herself to the building of the family. Finally, Dad agreed with me and we are now doing some preparations.
If you are free this weekend, we are looking forward to your participation.
Best wishes!
Love,
Sister /Brother Li Hua
