For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Smother Love Every morning, Leanne Brickland and her sister would bicycle to school with the same words ringing in their ears: Watch out crossing the road. Dont speak to strangers. Mum would stand at the top of the steps and call that out, says Brickland, now a primary-school teacher and mother of four from Rotorua, New Zealand. Substitute boxers and thongs for undies (内衣), and the nagging fears that haunt parents havent really changed. What has altered, dramatically, is the confidence we once had in our childrens ability to fling themselves at life without a grown-up holding their hands. Worry-ridden Parents and Stifled Kids By todays standards, the childhood freedoms Brickland took for granted practically verge on parental neglect. Her mother worked, so she and her sister had a key to let themselves in after school and were expected to do their homework and put on the potatoes for dinner. At the familys beach house near Wellington, the two girls, from the age of five or six, would disappear for hours to play in the lakes and sands. A generation later, Bricklands children are growing up in a world more indulged yet more accustomed to peril. The techno-minded generation of PlayStation kids who can conquer entire armies and rocket through space cant even be trusted to cross the street alone. I walked or biked to school for years, but my children dont, Briekland admits. I worry about the road. I worry about strangers. In some ways I think theyre missing out, but I like to be able to see them, to know where they are and What theyre doing. Call it smother love, indulged-kid syndrome, parental neurosis (神经病). Even though todays children have the universe at their fingertips thanks to the Internet, their physical boundaries are shrinking at a rapid pace. According to British social scientist Mayer Hillman, a childs play zone has contracted so radically that were producing the human equivalent of henhouse chickens-plump from lack of exercise and without the flexibility and initiative of free-range kids of the past. The spirit of our times is no longer the resourceful adventurer Tom Sawyer but rather the worry-ridden dad and his stifled only child in Finding Nemo. In short, child rearing has become an exercise in risk minimization, represented by stories such as the father who refused to allow his daughter on a school picnic to the beach for fear she might drown. While its natural for a parent to want to protect their children from danger, you have to wonder: Have we gone too far? Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool A study conducted by Paul Tranter, a lecturer in geography at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, showed that while Australian and New Zealand children had similar amounts of unsupervised freedom, it was far less than German or English kids. For example, only a third of ten-year-olds in Australia and New Zealand were allowed to visit places other than school alone, compared to 80 percent in Germany. Girls were even more restricted than boys, with parents fearing assault or molestation (骚扰), while traffic dangers were seen as the greatest threat to boys. Bike ownership has doubled in a generation, but independent mobility-the ability to roam and explore unsupervised-has radically declined. In Auckland, for example, many primary schools have done away with bicycle racks because the streets are considered too unsafe. And in Christchurch, New Zealands most bike-friendly city, the number of pupils cycling to school has fallen from more than 90 percent in the late 1970s to less than 20 percent. Safely strapped into the family 44, children are instead driven from home to the school gate, then off to ballet, soccer or swimming lessons-rarely straying from watchful adult eyes. In the U.S. Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & amp; Dance, New Jersey assistant principal and hockey coach Bobbie Schultz writes that playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids-creating their own rules, making their own decisions and settling disputes-was where the real learning took place. The street was one of the greatest sources of my life skills, she says. I dont see on-the-street play anymore. I see adult-organized activities. Parents dont realize what an integral part of character development their children are missing. Armoured with bicycle helmets, car seats, safe playgrounds and sunscreen, children are getting the message loud and clear that the world is full of peril-and that theyre ill-equipped to handle it alone. Yet research consistently shows young people are much more capable than we think, says professor Anne Smith, director of New Zealands Childrens Issues Centre. The thing that many adults have difficulty with is that children cant learn to be grown-up if theyre excluded and protected all the time. Educational psychologist Paul Prangley reckons its about time the kid gloves came off. He believes parenting has taken on a paranoid (患妄想狂的) edge thats creating a generation of naive, insecure youngsters who are subconsciously being taught theyre incapable of handling things by themselves. Flexibility and the ability to resist pressure and temptation are learned skills, Prangley explains. If you wrap kids up in cotton wool and dont give them the opportunity to take risks, theyre less equipped to make responsible decisions later in life. Parents Should Gain Proper Perspective Sadly, high-profile cases of children being kidnapped and murdered-such as ten-year-old Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in the United Kingdom; five-year-old Chloe Hoson in Australia, whose body was found just 200 metres from where she lived; and six-year-old Teresa Cormack in New Zealand, who was snatched off the street on her way to school-only serve to reinforce parents fears. Teresa Cormacks death, for example, was one of the rare New Zealand eases of random child kidnap. In Australia, the odds of someone under the age of 15 being murdered by a stranger have been estimated at one in four million. A child is at far greater risk from a family member or someone they know. However, parental fear is contagious. In one British study, far more children feared an attack by a stranger than being hit by a car. We are losing our sense of perspective, write Jan Parker and Jan Stimpson in their parenting book, Raising Happy Children. Every parent has to negotiate their own route between equipping children with the skills they need to stay safe and not restricting or terrifying them unnecessarily in the process. Dr. Claire Freeman, a planning expert at the University of Otago, points to the erosion of community responsibility as another casualty of that mutual distrust. Not so long ago, adults knew all the local kids and were the informal guardians of the neighbourhood. Now, particularly if you are a man, you may hesitate to offer help to a lost child for fear your motives might be questioned. More Space and More Attention to Kids Needs As a planner in the mid-1990s, Freeman became concerned about the loss of green space to development and the erosion of informal places to play. In a study that looked at how children in the British city of Leeds spent their summer holidays, compared with their parents childhood experiences, she found the freedom to explore had been severely contracted-in some cases, down to the front yard. Freeman says she cannot remember being inside the house as a child, or being alone. Growing up was about being part of a group. Now a mother of four, Freeman believes the domestication of play is robbing kids of their sense of belonging within a society. Nevertheless, Freeman says childrens needs are starting to get more emphasis. In the Netherlands, child-friendly home zones have been created where priority is given to pedestrians, rather than cars. And ponds are being incorporated back into housing estates on the principle that children should learn to be safe around water, rather than be surrounded by a barren landscape. After all, as one of the smarter fish says in Finding Nemo, theres one problem with promising your kids that nothing will ever happen to them-because then nothing ever will. 1. According to Brickland, parents nowadays have changed their_. A) standards of the childrens proper dressing B) worry about the childrens personal safety C) ways to communicate with children D) confidence in the childrens ability这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:D解析 题目中的changed与原文该句中的altered为同义词，可见altered的宾语confidence为答案的关键词在4个选项中，只有D与confidence有关，为本题答案。A中的dressing试图将考生的注意力转移到首段倒数第2句的boxers(四脚裤)和undies(内衣)，虽然这两个词比较陌生，但看到该句末的havent changed，就无须考虑太多，可以肯定A并非本题答案。其他两个选项的内容在原文并未提及。 2. When Brickland and her sister were little, they kept the home key because _. A) they wanted to be trusted B) their mother had to work C) their mother didnt live at home D) they were very naughty and wild这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:B解析 原文该句中的so表明了与题干要求的同样的因果关系，so前面提到的原因与B相同，因此本题应选B。其他选项均未提及。 3. Mayer Hillman indicates that children now have less and less_. A) space for playing B) contact with animals C) concern about others D) knowledge about nature这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A解析 该句中的contracted与less and less意思相近，与contracted前的play zone同义的选项为本题答案，因此A为本题答案。要小心B，原文该句中提到的henhouse chickens可能会误导考生选择B，事实上，henhouse chick-ens用于比喻受过分保护的小孩。与animals没有关系。 4. Paul Tranter finds that eighty percent of the children were allowed to visit places other than school alone in_. A) Australia B) New Zealand C) Germany D) Britain这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:C解析 原文该段提到多个国家的名称，只要按照题干中的eighty percent，再结合选项中的国家名称，应该很快可以确定本题答案为C。 5. What is ranked by parents as the greatest threat to boys? A) Gang crimes. B) Online games. C) Extreme sports. D) Dangerous traffics.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:D解析 原文该句while引出的分句明确表明traffic dangers是对男孩最大的安全威胁，D是对traffic dangers的同义改写，为本题答案。 6. Bobble Schuliz points out that real learning takes place in _. A) on-the-street play B) adult-organized activities C) student-centered teaching D) home and nature这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A解析 将首句中破折号前后的内容结合起来可以知道playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids就是真正学到本领的地方，在该段第3旬Bobbie Schultz将此简称为on-the-street play，因此A为本题答案。 7. What accident had happened to a little girl called Chloe Hoson? A) She was robbed on her way to school. B) She was kidnapped and murdered. C) She fell a victim to domestic violence. D) She disappeared for no reason.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:B解析 该句第2个分句中的body暗示Chloe Hoson被murdered(该句开头提到的)，因此本题应选B。本段提引的是kidnap和murder，其他选项提到的各种罪案在原文并未提及。 8. Claire Freeman thinks that lack of mutual trust results in_.这道题您没有回答答案:the erosion of community responsibility解析 空白处应为名词(词组)。原文该句中的as another casualty of表明mutual distrust导致the erosion of community responsibility，题目中的lack of mutual trust是对mutual distrust的同义改写，由此可见，the erosion of community responsibility为本题答案。9. Freeman concludes that kids are robbed of their sense of belonging to the society by_.这道题您没有回答答案:the“domestication of play”解析 空白处应为名词(词组)。对比原文与题目可见，两个句子的语态相反: 原文rob为主动语态，而题目中rob为被动语态，两句的主语和宾语位置相反，所以原文rob的主语the“domestication of play”即为本题答案。10. The Netherlands has placed the rights of pedestrians before those of cars in such areas called_.这道题您没有回答答案:child-friendly“home zones”解析 空白处应为名词(词组)。题干与原文中where引出的定语从句内容相同，两旬对比可见，题目中缺少了原句中的主语child-friendly“home zones”。Part Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

A) The woman is being interviewed by a reporter. B) The woman is applying for a job. C) The woman is asking tor a promotion. D) The woman is being given an examination.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:B听力原文M: Now，Im going to start off by asking you a difficult questionWhy would you like to get this post? W: Well，first of a11 I know that your firm has a very good reputationThen Ive heard you offer good opportunities for promotion for the fight person Q: What do we know from the conversation? 解析 男士问女士为什么想得到这个职位，女士说对方公司声望高、有提升的机会等，说明她在找工作，而非要求提升。所以B正确。 点睛 根据选项可以预测考查的信息点是女士在做什么。interview有“采访、面试”的意思；但是此处不是在接受记者(reporter)的采访，故A不是答案。13. A) Not to subscribe to the journal. B) To buy the latest issue of the journal. C) Not to miss any brilliant papers.
