12、o drop their shiny brown nuts. They would select a suitable chestnut, drill a hole in it and thread it onto a string, then swing their conker at that of an opponent until one of them broke. But the game has fallen out of favour. Children spend less time outdoors and rarely have access to chestnut tr

13、ees. Besides, many schools have banned conkers games, worried that they might cause injuries or nut allergies.That sort of risk-averseness(规避风险) now spreads through every aspect of childhood. Playgrounds have all the excitement designed out of them to make them safe. Many governments, particularly i

14、n societies such as America, have tightened up their rules, requiring parents to supervise(监管) young children far more closely than in the past. Frank Furedi of the University of Kent, a critic on modern parenting, argues that allowing children to play unsupervised or leaving them at home alone is i

15、ncreasingly described as a symptom of irresponsible parenting.In part, such increased caution is a response to the huge wave of changes. Large-scale urbanization, smaller and more mobile families, the move of women into the labor market and the digitization of many aspects of life have unavoidably c

16、hanged the way that people bring up their children. There is little chance that any of these trends will be changed, so todays more intensive(精细化的) parenting style is likely to go on.Such parenting practices now embraced by wealthy parents in many parts of the rich world, particularly in America, go

17、 far beyond an adjustment to changes in external conditions. They mean a strong bid to ensure that the advantages enjoyed by the parents generation are passed on to their children. Since success in life now turns mainly on education, such parents will do their best to provide their children with the

18、 schooling, the character training and the social skills that will secure access to the best universities and later the most attractive jobs.To some extent that has always been the case. But there are more such parents now, and they are competing with each other for what economists call positional g

19、oods. This competition starts even before the children are born. The wealthy classes will take their time to select a suitable spouse and get married, and will start a family only when they feel ready for it.Children from less advantaged backgrounds, by contrast, often appear before their parents ar

20、e ready for them. In America 60% of births to single women under 30 are unplanned, and over 40% of children are born outside marriage. The result, certainly in America, has been to widen already massive social inequalities yet further.All the evidence suggests that children from poorer backgrounds a

21、re at a disadvantage almost as soon as they are born. By the age of five or six they are far less “school-ready” than their better-off peers, so any attempts to help them catch up have to start long before they get to school. America has had some success with various schemes involving regular home v

22、isits by nurses or social workers to low-income families with new babies. It also has long experience with programmes for young children from poor families that combine support for parents with good-quality child care. Such programmes do seem to make a difference. Without extra effort, children from

23、 low-income families in most countries are much less likely than their better-off peers to attend preschool education, even though they are more likely to benefit from it. And data from the OECDs PISA programme suggest that children need at least two years of preschool education to perform at their

24、best when they are 15.So the most promising way to ensure greater equality may be to make early-years education and care for more widely available and more affordable, as it is in the Nordics. Some governments are already rethinking their educational priorities, shifting some of their spending to th

25、e early years.Most rich countries decided more than a century ago that free, compulsory education for all children was a worthwhile investment for society. There is now an argument for starting preschool education earlier, as some countries have already done. In the face of crushing new inequalities

26、, a modern version of that approach is worth trying.1、What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?AMore attention is placed on childrens safety.BMore and more parents are becoming irresponsible.CChildren are no longer interested in outdoor activities.DParents are advised to spend more time with

27、their children.2、Which of the following about intensive parenting style is TRUE?AChances are that this style could be changed.BFinancial pressure forces parents to be stricter.CRich families adopt such style to keep their advantages.DSuch style is largely influenced by the size of the family.3、What

28、does the underlined sentence imply?AEconomists offer practical advice to guide parenting.BA happy marriage secures childrens social positions.CUnfair division of social resources drives parents mad.DParents are struggling for their childrens edge over peers.4、Which is the proper measure to narrow th

29、e gap between the rich and the poor?AParents are persuaded to give birth to babies in their later years.BFunds are provided for poor children after they are admitted to school.CNew babies in low-income families are sent to nurses or social workers.DChildren from low-income families are ensured to re

It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals

40、 and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flyi

41、ng across the Peruvian desert in the 1920,s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? Th

42、ese markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, character

43、istics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Ear

44、th, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of l

45、ighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.1、502What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?AThey were built as a big map.BThey were formed by nature.CThey are ancient lines i

46、n caves.DThey are huge markings in a desert.2、504How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?AOne. BTwo.CThree.

48、ere the.police are German,the cooks are English,the mechanics are French,the lovers are Swiss,and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes（模式化的思想）in this,old joke are generalizations,but such stereotypes are often said to exist for a reason.Is there actually a sliv

49、er of truth in them?Not likely,an international research team now says.National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others,and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Agin

50、g.These are in fact unfounded stereotypes.They dont come from looking around you,McCrae said.If national stereotypes arent rooted in real experiences,then where do they come from?One possibility is that they reflect national values,which may become known from historical events.For example,many histo

51、rians have argued that the spirit of American individualism has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect.Robins notes that some ste

52、reotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.We may be hard-wired,to some degree,to keep incorrect stereotypes,since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes.Generally,according to Rob

53、ins,when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes,we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.1、What is the function of the first paragraph?ATo introduce the topic of national stereotypes.BTo make a comparison between the characters of different cou

BIndifferent.CCritical. DUncertain.3、According to social scientists,why

55、arent national stereotypes always correct?ABecause they are formed by individual historians.BBecause people tend to have false idea about other cultures.CBecause generalizations are made through personal experience.DBecause what was true in the past may not be true at present.4、What does the underli

56、ned word hard-wired in the last paragraph probably mean?AForgetful. BFixed.CAnxious. DHelpless.25（10分）Free, Official Sources to Find Unclaimed MoneyDoes the government owe you money?
