fear-producing tv and computer games are leading to serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play.each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. we cannot be the last generation to have that place. at this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “if the decline in park use continues across north america, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks richard louv, author of last child in the woods. without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment to their lives. experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. the three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. a clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. we really need to value that more. kids are not to blame. they are over-protected and frightened. it is dangerous out there from time to time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for the landscapes. as parents, we should devote some of our energy to taking our kids into nature. this could yet be our greatest cause.1. according to the passage, children without experiencing nature will_ akeep a high sense of wonderbbe over-protected by their parentscbe less healthy both physically and mentallydchange wild places and creatures for the better2.according to the author, childrens breaking an arm is_ athe fault on the part of their parents bthe natural experience in their growing upcthe result of their own carelessness in playdthe effect of their repetitive stress from computers3.in writing this passage, the author mainly intends to_ ablame children for getting lost in computer gamesbencourage children to protect parks from encroachmentcshow his concern about childrens lack of experience in naturedinspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around参考答案13、cbc 阅读理解。china has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. in panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. a chinese company had identified it as diethylamide glycol （ 化乙二醇）, a low cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze（防冻剂）. some countries have banned chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylamide glycol. china has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in north america. thousands of dogs and cats became sick. the united states has restricted some imports of chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. and questions have been raised about other products, including childrens toys covered with lead paint. chinese officials promised to provide the european union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods. meglena kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of the european union said china should have kept its promise. china recently closed three companies linked to the panama and the pet food scare. and it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. he was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. this week, a conference of the state council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. the xinhua news agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities. but chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating problems with goods made in

an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.the argument advanced by those opposed （反对） to the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is tile mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime (罪行) anyway.in our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. but some are more dangerous than others.for example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. while it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. but the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. for example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in california, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to10.4 murders for each 100, 000 population. the sharp climb in the states murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. it certainly shows that the death penalty does deter many murderers. if the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. this is really a life or death matter. the lives of thousands of people must be protected.1. the main purpose of this passage is to _.a. speak for the majority b. support a vetoc. speak ill of the government d. argue for the value of the death penalty答案解析：答案为d。本题为文章的主旨大意题。由第一段的 “many argue that , while others think .”和最后一段的首句 “the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion.”可知，本文讨论死刑的价值。2. which of the following is among the heated arguments across the usa besides death penalty?a. air pollution. b. the war against iraq.c. equal rights. d. election of president.答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节题。从第一段的首句 “with the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the united states today is the death penalty (死刑).”可知，除了人权问题，在美国讨论最热烈的问题是死刑。3. the numbers in the last paragraph show that _.a. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reducedb. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963c. the population of california has risend. death penalty is of little value答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题。从最后一段的第二句 “but the
