ADid you ride your bike to school when you were a child? A generation ago most children walked or rode to school; very few of us were dropped off by our parents at the school gate. These days most of us have experienced heavy traffic around schools at drop-off and pick-up times, as parents drive their children to the school gate.Research suggests at least a third of Australian children aren’t getting enough daily physical activity. But this isn’t because children’s participation（参与）in sporting activities has dropped off, says Dr Jan Garrard, a senior lecturer at Deakin university. As we can see, most parents now choose to drop their children at school.He says driving your children to school means they’re missing out on much-needed exercise.Psychologist Dr Michael Carr–Gregg says allowing children to get to school by themselves also helps them learn to be independent.” Our job as a parent isn’t to protect our child from every possible danger in the world, but to teach them how to live in the world by themselves,” he says. Research sug gests people who spend time outside seem to be healthier and better at dealing with difficulties.However, many parents still struggle with the decision to let their children walk or ride to school. Of course, safety is one of the main worries. However, we’ve become increasingly car-oriented in our transport. And many of us think it comfortable, convenient and quite fast to travel in motor vehicles.Well, when will children be ready to walk or cycle to school by themselves? “There’s no hard rule about that,” says psychologist Warren Cann, CEO of the parenting Research Centre. Cann suggests that children should be at least 10 years old before they independently walk to school. This is because experts say children younger than this aren’t cognitively（认知上地）ready. Cann says parents also need to learn about their children’s own development levels because children develop very differently. You should also think about how far your child has to travel to school and the nature of traffic conditions.21. Australian children are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show_____________.A. the disadvantage of driving children to schoolB. the importance of sporting activitiesC. the right way of taking exerciseD. the education in Australia22. The un derlined word “car-oriented” in the text means_____________.A. driving a car freelyB. making too many carsC. travelling mainly in a carD. causing a lot of car accidents23. What does Warren Cann suggest in the text?A. Children over ten years old should learn to be independent.B. Parents should choose to live close to the school their children study in.C. The rule about when children can go to school alone should be made at once.D. Parents should think a lot before they allow their children to go to school alone.24. The purpose of the text is to_____________.A. explain why parents drive their children to schoolB. discuss the problem of driving children to schoolC. suggest that children go to school as early as possibleD. talk about the change of children going to schoolBWant to have dinner with First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House?

Part of his job includes keeping an eye on Alaska’s many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up when a volcano might erupt(喷发).Like most jobs in the science, volcanology requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina, then landed an internship（实习期）with a geologist at the USGS(美国地质勘探局) whose work field was about volcanoes. After earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado, McGimsey accepted a job with the USGS and has been withthe Alaska V olcano Observatory for 25 years.V olcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example, on Dec.15, 1989, a 747 jetliner (a large airplane) flew through a thick ash cloud produced by Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volcano that hadn’t erupted in 25 years. T he ash caused all four engines to die, and the plane’s electronics went dead.“The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots got a couple of engines restarted and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost nearly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane.Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However, volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves.McGimsey admits, “There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs. We understand how serious the danger is, and we don’t like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano, because it is not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or a photograph.”29. Before working for the USGS, McGimsey_________.A. had been a pilot for 25 yearsB. knew nothing about the organizationC. had taught at the University of North ColoradoD. had studied at the University of Colorado30. On Dec. 15, 1989, a 747 jetliner__________.A. had all its engines restartedB. flew into a volcano in EuropeC. survived an air accident luckilyD. disappeared in a huge ash cloud31. What McGimsey says in the last paragraph shows his____.A. prideB. carefulnessC. lonelinessD. doubt32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Game McGimsey: a man of his wordB. Game McGimsey: a volcano watcherC. The eruption of Mut RedoubtD. Lost land of the volcanoDIn Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatre-in-education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way.Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience（观众）to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking----this is where the English word “mime” comes from.A Pantomime is always based on a well-known children's story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a Pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principle boy” and this principle boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume. Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a Pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back”ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isn't looking.Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isn’t,” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is!” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show.33. The theatre-in-education teams_____________.A. are made of famous local actorsB. write plays for the same age groupC. often give plays in their own theatresD. usually allow children to join in a play34.

When t he dame says, “Yes, it is”, the audience should _____________.A. follow her and singB. stand up and danceC. repeat what she saysD. disagree with her loudly第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
