And were not talking about unimportant ones, either. Kids need to learn how to handle “dangerous” things like power tools, make fires, and derive the benefits that occur from “playing with knives.” Hanna Rosin focuses on some of the misguided reasons we are raising “The Overprotected Kid” in the Atlantic. She details our concerns with kids safety that goes beyond the actual risks. In principle, I agree with this emerging perspective. For many kids growing up today, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to practice risk taking. Risk taking is an important skill every kid needs to learn how to stretch themselves, how to do something that they are a little scared of doing because they havent done it before. Part of the reason for “overprotection” is certainly the parental gravitation(倾向) to fear. This is certainly evident in terms of the physical environment. I claim, however, that much of the parental mindset that prevents risk taking isnt driven by fear of injury its more about concern with success. While many kids arent wandering around playgrounds and playing in junkyards, they are doing structured physical activities that carry plenty of risk of injury. “Play” may be in fact less dangerous than our structured sports yet we focus more on the risk because we dont see the benefit. Its just harder to see the immediate deliverables of that experience as compared to watching a kid hit a home run. And this broader concern with success is not limited to the playground or sports field. “Overprotection” certainly happens in the social and academic fields as well, as phrases like “helicopter parent” have become mainstream. There is plenty of social and academic risk taking that can also be prevented because of the perception of risk.1What does the author think todays children according to paragraph 1?A. They arent as happy as their parents.B. They ignore the benefits from taking risks.C. They live an overprotected life due to parental care.D. They should take important risks for their development.2 Which of the following would Hanna Rosin agree with?A. Not all kids can play on the playground alone.B. The review of the statistics details the danger of the kidnap. C. Parents should take care of the kids in case they are lost. D. Parents concerns with kids safety isnt actually necessary. 3What does the underlined part “helicopter parents” in the last paragraph mean?A. Those who offer any help whenever their children are in need.B. Those who find out the important elements of a healthy development.C. Those who give advice on how to find their own sense of creativity.D. Those who help their children take responsibility for their own actions.4 Why do many parents prevent their kids taking risks?A. They are afraid their kids may get hurt.B. They prefer organized activities to unorganized ones.C. The kids are too young to handle these risks properly.D. The link with potential for achievement isnt clear.The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment by building relationships between people and nature. The foundation is based in the state of Maryland. It was created more than 50 years ago. It teaches people ways to protect the environment. At the end of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create. Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation.“So lets figure out what is in our bag of trash.” She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item.” “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift.” Urging people to recycle is important in the Washington, D.C., area, because Potomac River, one of the most famous rivers in the country lies there.“Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative (倡议)itself.” says Seligman.The Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative is an effort by the Alice Ferguson Foundation to support clean agricultural methods. It includes educational programs teaching children about the kinds of pollution that can enter the watershed.One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years.5The Alice Ferguson Foundation _.A. devotes itself to keeping citizens engaged in going greenB. deals with relationship between peopleC. teaches people how to form groupsD. concerns itself about childrens holidays6At the end of the year, the Alice Ferguson Foundation is busy _.A. buying plastic itemsB. celebrating ChristmasC. figuring out how much waste was producedD. educating people to reduce less waste while enjoying Christmas7How to get to the root cause of environmental protection, according to Seligman?A. Environmental education B. Doing trash cleanupsC. Saving water D. Celebrating holidays less8What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A. Give off B. Break downC. Come out D. Pack upIts cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机),bums more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节)its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperaturesand quicker runs bum more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (尾气), and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.9How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A. They can run more slowly. B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder. D. Their body temperature can get lower.10How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly. B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runners stress. D. It causes heart attack.11What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning.12What can be the best title of the text?A. Refresh with a Winter Run B. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a Park D. Follow the Tips to Reduce StressGiven the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouseAnd it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure My friend Velma,a teacher for more than 30 years,has been retired for some time now, but that doesnt stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School,located on her familys California farmThe lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as an apple barnThen, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velmas late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirementNo nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled(重装)on its new siteThe brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的)comersAfter the relocationVelma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desksThey also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old daysShe has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone byThen, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson13What was the Englewood School used as before it began a new life in 1870A. a ladys house B. a schoolhouse C. an apple barn D. a restroom14Which word can best describe the schools being relocated?A.

And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative (倡议)itself.”经过很多年我们意识到垃圾清理只是问题的征兆，并不是根本原因。这就是十多年前我们开始倡议的原因。可推断环境教育才是环境保护的根源。故选A。8词义猜测题。根据下面例子的内容：For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years.纸在大约四个星期之后分解，苹果核或许要花2个月才能腐烂，金属可能要花100年以上。可知划线单词所在的句子是说：他们所扔的东西并不是以同样的速度分解，故选B。【名师点睛】词义猜测题解题技巧词义猜测能力是一项重要的英语阅读技能，同时也是高考英语卷对考生阅读能力进行检测的一个重要方面。词义猜测的命题形式大体有以下三个层面：1.猜测一个单词的语境意义，如本文第4小题：What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?2.猜测一个词组的含义。3.对具体语境下的特定句子的猜测。解这类题时，我们首先认真阅读划线单词所在的句子，同时理解文章离不开语境，单独的阅读这一个句子一般来说是很难判断它的词义，因此在阅读的过程中，我们可以利用上下文形成的语境对生词词义进行合理的猜测。就本文第4小题而言，划线单词所在的句子后是一个例子，这些例子可帮助我们猜测生词的意思It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years.根据例句的意思：例如，纸在大约四个星期之后分解，苹果核或许要花2个月才能腐烂，金属可能要花100年以上。可以很轻松的推断上句的意思，他们所扔的东西并不是以同样的速度分解。四个答案选项中，B意义吻合，故选B。9C10B11C12A【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们在冬天比在夏天跑步更能回复体能。9C细节理解题。根据第2段中 Similarly,cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body.可知寒冷天气能使心脏运行更强，故选C。10B细节理解题。根据
