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 (內(nèi)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 (神經(jīng)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 (騷擾), 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這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:D解析 題目中的changed與原文該句中的altered為同義詞，可見altered的賓語confidence為答案的關(guān)鍵詞在4個選項中，只有D與confidence有關(guān)，為本題答案。A中的dressing試圖將考生的注意力轉(zhuǎn)移到首段倒數(shù)第2句的boxers(四腳褲)和undies(內(nèi)衣)，雖然這兩個詞比較陌生，但看到該句末的havent changed，就無須考慮太多，可以肯定A并非本題答案。其他兩個選項的內(nèi)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這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:B解析 原文該句中的so表明了與題干要求的同樣的因果關(guān)系，so前面提到的原因與B相同，因此本題應(yīng)選B。其他選項均未提及。 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這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:A解析 該句中的contracted與less and less意思相近，與contracted前的play zone同義的選項為本題答案，因此A為本題答案。要小心B，原文該句中提到的henhouse chickens可能會誤導(dǎo)考生選擇B，事實上，henhouse chick-ens用于比喻受過分保護的小孩。與animals沒有關(guān)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這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:C解析 原文該段提到多個國家的名稱，只要按照題干中的eighty percent，再結(jié)合選項中的國家名稱，應(yīng)該很快可以確定本題答案為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.這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:D解析 原文該句while引出的分句明確表明traffic dangers是對男孩最大的安全威脅，D是對traffic dangers的同義改寫，為本題答案。 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這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:A解析 將首句中破折號前后的內(nèi)容結(jié)合起來可以知道playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids就是真正學(xué)到本領(lǐng)的地方，在該段第3旬Bobbie Schultz將此簡稱為on-the-street play，因此A為本題答案。 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.這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:B解析 該句第2個分句中的body暗示Chloe Hoson被murdered(該句開頭提到的)，因此本題應(yīng)選B。本段提引的是kidnap和murder，其他選項提到的各種罪案在原文并未提及。 8. Claire Freeman thinks that lack of mutual trust results in_.這道題您沒有回答答案:the erosion of community responsibility解析 空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)。原文該句中的as another casualty of表明mutual distrust導(dǎo)致the erosion of community responsibility，題目中的lack of mutual trust是對mutual distrust的同義改寫，由此可見，the erosion of community responsibility為本題答案。9. Freeman concludes that kids are robbed of their sense of belonging to the society by_.這道題您沒有回答答案:the“domestication of play”解析 空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)。對比原文與題目可見，兩個句子的語態(tài)相反: 原文rob為主動語態(tài)，而題目中rob為被動語態(tài)，兩句的主語和賓語位置相反，所以原文rob的主語the“domestication of play”即為本題答案。10. The Netherlands has placed the rights of pedestrians before those of cars in such areas called_.這道題您沒有回答答案:child-friendly“home zones”解析 空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)。題干與原文中where引出的定語從句內(nèi)容相同，兩旬對比可見，題目中缺少了原句中的主語child-friendly“home zones”。Part Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

C) He took her to visit an interesting community. D) He gave her advice to overcome the difficulty.這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:B聽力原文W: I really appreciate your helpWithout your directionI may have got lost in this communityIt is so out of the way M: It was my pleasure to be of help in some wayGood daymadam Q: What did the man do? 解析 女士感謝男士為她指路，不然她就在這個偏僻的街區(qū)迷路了，故B為答案。out of the way意思是“偏僻”。 點睛 選項預(yù)測: 問題與He的行為有關(guān)。A中的way，C中的community,和D中的out of都是原文出現(xiàn)過的字眼。利用短對話“聽到什么就不選什么”的原則，即可得出答案B。12. 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.這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:B聽力原文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 男士問女士為什么想得到這個職位，女士說對方公司聲望高、有提升的機會等，說明她在找工作，而非要求提升。所以B正確。 點睛 根據(jù)選項可以預(yù)測考查的信息點是女士在做什么。interview有“采訪、面試”的意思；但是此處不是在接受記者(reporter)的采訪，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. D) To photocopy the papers in the journal.這道題您沒有回答 【回答錯誤】答案:A聽力原文M: Im thinking about subscribing to the biology journalIt seems to have lots of brilliant papersI really need to read those Papers before I write my own pa
