13、r D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thou
14、sands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times rangefrom Andrew Baddeley s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.Parkrun is succeeding where London s Olympic“ legacy ” is failing. Ten years agoon Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olym
15、piad would be inLondon. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be tolevel a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter,healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doingweekly sport did rise, by nearly
16、2 million in the run up to 2012 but the generalpopulation was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an acceleratingrate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport aweek have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Officialretros
17、pections continue as to why London 2012 failed to“ inspire a generation.” Thesuccess of Parkrun offers answers.;.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as the
18、re is about top talent shining.The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting
19、 involved in the planningof such a fundamentally “grassroots ” , concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providingcommon goods making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, a
20、nd encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provid
21、e the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21. According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has.A gained great popularityB created many jobsC strengthened community tiesD become an official festival【答案】 A gained great popularity22.

Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it. A aims at discovering talents;.B focuses on mass competitionC does not emphasize eli
23、tismD does not attract first-timers【答案】 C does not emphasize elitism24. With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should.A organize “ grassroots ” sports eventsB supervise local sports associationsC increase funds for sports clubsD invest in public sports facilities【答案】 D invest i
24、n public sports facilities25. The author s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is.A tolerantB criticalC uncertainD sympathetic【答案】 B criticalText 2With so much focus on children s use of screens, it s easy for parents to forgetabout their own screen use.“ Tech is designed to really
25、suck on you in,” says JennyRadesky in her study of digital play,“ and digital products are there to promotemaximal engagement. It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-overinto the family routine.”Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mothe
26、r-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family. Parents wou
27、ld be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.Infants are wired to look at parents faces to try to understand their world, and ifthose faces are blank and unresponsive as they often are when absorbed in a device;. it can be extremely disconcerting
28、foe the children. Radesky cites the“ still faceexperiment” devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s. In it, amother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blankexpression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomesincreasing
29、ly distressed as she tries to capture her mother s attention.“ Parentsdon t have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance andparents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child s verbal or nonverbalexpressions of an emotional need,” says Radesky.On the other hand, T
30、ronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids use ofscreens are born out of an“ oppressive ideology that demands that parents shouldalways be interacting” with their children:“ It s based on a somewhat fantasized,very white, very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you re failing to e
31、xposeyour child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.” Tronick believes that justbecause a child isn t learning from the screen doesn t mean there s no value to it particularly if it gives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break from their child. Parents, he says, can g
32、et a lot out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way. This can make them feel happier, which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.26. According to Jenny Radesky, digital products are designed to _.A simplify routine mattersB absorb user
33、attentionC better interpersonal relationsD increase work efficiency【答案】 B absorb user attention27. Radesky s food-testing exercise shows that mothers use of devices _.A takes away babies appetiteB distracts children s attentionC slows down babies verbal developmentD reduces mother-child communicatio

The oppressive ideology mentioned by Tronick requires parents to_.A protect kids from exposure to wild fantasiesB teach their kids at least 30,000 words a yearC ensure constant interaction with their

According to Tronick, kid s use of screens may_.A give their parents some free timeB make their parents more creativeC help them with their homeworkD help them become more attentive【答案】 A
37、give their parents some free timeText 3Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction withincreasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students tocompletely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone youknow is going to
38、college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn t it? Andafter going to school for 12 years, it doesn t feel natural to spend a year doingsomething that isn t academic.But while this may be true, it s not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.There s always a constant fear of fall
39、ing behind everyone else on the sociallyperpetuated“ race to the finish line,” whether that be toward graduate school,medical school or lucrative career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap yeardoes not hinder the success of academic pursuits in fact, it probably enhances it.;.Studies from the
40、United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing themfor independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes
41、all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen theblow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities rather than acclimationblunders.If you re not convinced
42、 of the inherent value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end upchanging their majors at least once. This isn t surprising, consider
43、ing the basicmandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding ofthemselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to anotherafter taking college classes. It s not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on theschool, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help pre
