That applies to everything from their physical health
14、 and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents-and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it. Research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that
15、 play in nature develop leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We reall
16、y need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage. Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should
17、help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.26. The main idea of P

A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about childrens lack of experience in nature D. inspire
22、children to keep the sense of wonder about things around B Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinksattractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectableoccupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for findin
23、g jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more in
24、tegrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to hav
25、e more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not though
26、t to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities r
27、equired.This is true even in politics. When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,
28、 one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the
29、women who had ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.31. The underlined word liability most probably means A. disadvantage B. advantage C. misfortune D. trouble32.

63、学年度第一学期高三级英语科期中考试题答案34. D 推断题。结合全篇可以看出,人们对魅力的态度是因领域和性别不同而保持固有观点,都不全面即one-sided。35. B 主旨题。文章着重论述了个人魅力在某些领域对于女人而言是不利因素,所以不难知道作者写这篇文章的目的是为了discuss the disadvantages of being attractive。C篇解析:本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过故事改变了自己对富裕的理解。36. 主旨大意题。小男孩的问话 “Lady, are you rich?” 和小女孩的话 “Your cups match your saucers”引起了作者对富裕的深
64、刻思考,改变了她原先对于富裕的片面认识,因此用 “Lady, are you rich?” 作为标题最为合适,最能体现文章的主题 对富裕的再思考和正确认识。37. 细节理解题。由第三段的 “I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.” 可以推断,作者这样做是出于对他们的怜悯和同情。38. 细节理解题。 小女孩认为作者富裕,因为作者的茶杯喝茶托很相配,这不是她有意地奉承作者,而是小女孩对
65、富裕的观点:只要物与物之间、人与人之间相互协调,和谐相处,即使很简陋、很平淡,也是很富裕的、幸福的。故A项表述错误,它背离了文意。39. 细节理解题。由最后一段中的 “Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.” 可知正确答案为B项。40. 推理判断题。 本文通过这两个孩子的故事告诉我们每个人的富裕观和幸福观各不相同,真正的富裕不是你拥有多少好东西,不是你有多高的地位,而是你对生活的态度。III写作 (共两节,满分40分)第一节 基础写作 (共1小题,满分15分
