you grown-ups say you love us, but i challenge you, please, to make your action reflect your words. i spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. some of the people even cried, i thought that maybe i had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(刺激)action. now, ten years from rio, after ive sat through many more conferences, im not sure what has been achieved. my confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individuals voice to reach them has been deeply shaken. when i was little, the world was simple. but as a young adult, im learning that as we have to make choices-education, career, lifestyle-life gets more and more complicated. we are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. we are taught that economic growth is progress, but we arent taught how to seek a happy, healthy way of living. and we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and nave(天真的)today im no longer a child, but im worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. i know change is possible, because i am changing, still figuring out what i think. i am still deciding how to live my life. the challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices, we will rise to the challenge, and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. i hope this goal will be met through our common efforts. thank you all. 60. the purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to _.a. end poverty and make schools beautifulb. find environmental answers and show offc. focus peoples attention on some special problemsd. find a wonderful place and clean it up61. what does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to?a. a long period of laughing.b. a cold and unfriendly welcome.c. an expression used for greeting.d. great applause or cheering62. the information in the text is presented mainly through _.a. questions and answersb. a personal lecture c. cause and effect d. listing steps in a process63. which of the following best describes the speaker?a. he is an experienced educator.b. he is an impolite man.c .he is a man of great worries.d. he is a man of social responsibility.【参考答案】60-63 cdbd 这类试题有如下的共同特点：1. 计划愿望和节假日活动的文章多以说明文为主。2. 计划类考查的题目多是以细节为主，因此题目难度不大。3. 从国家政策到百姓日常生活的未来科技的计划。4. 给日常的学习生活各个方面进行有计划的指导建议。5. 中国的节假日的来历、活动。6. 国外传统节日的介绍及各种活动。链接高考 链接1 （2012福建） holidays are really important. many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.but holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. for working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. when an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. for some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.the schools that i visit in nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. the number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding childrens welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. during the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.while teachers are holidaying in the uk, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. the lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.in setting out its plans for a five-term year, nottingham city council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. we believe this will give real “down time for school staff
