22.（8分）Overthe pastcentury,an alarmingnumber ofanimals havebecome endangeredor evenextinct.Below aresomeanimals whosenumbers havebeen rapidlydropping inrecent years.Panda BearOneof the biggest reasonscontributing tothe declinein thepanda speciesis thedestruction ofits naturalhabitat.Farmers inChinahave gradually been claimingmore andmore of the land.As aresult,pandas areforced tomove away to placeswhere itis hardto findbamboofor food.Green TurtleThegreen seaturtle specieshas survivedfor severalmillions ofyears,so youmight wonderwhy itsonly becomingendangerednow.A majorcause isthe changein climateand temperature,which bothaffect thehatching ratesof turtleeggs.Climate changesalsocause violentweather andrising waterlevels toflood areaswhere turtlesusually goto laytheir eggs.Apart fromthis,oil spillsand otherpoisonouspollution,as wellas increasedfishing activitiescan causesickness,or evendeath tothe green turtles.CheetahCheetahs arefamous forbeing the fastest animal on landbut eventhey cantrun fromsome of the largerthreats thathave harmedthem.Like thepanda bears,cheetahs havegraduallybeenlosing theirnatural homesdue tohumans claimingland anddeveloping inthoseareas.To makematters evenworse,smaller animalsmove awaywhen theseareas areoccupied,which means that thecheetah haslessfood!Dont forgetthat otherlarge animals,such aslions,are alsofighting forany foodthat theycan find,so occasionallyyoungcheetahs endupasprey too.Indian ElephantElephantsare extremelyintelligent animalsand alsothe largest mammals thatlive onland.Sadly,in Asiamany elephantswerekilled sothat peoplecould removetheir tusksto useas decorativeobjects.While thispractice has been bannednow,some peoplestillillegally continue.Forests inIndia have also beensteadily destroyedand elephantsare sometimeskilled when they endup onhumanterritory.

24.8British childrenused to play conkersintheautumn when the horse-chestnut treesstarted todrop theirshinybrown nuts.They wouldselect a suitable chestnut,drill ahole init andthread itonto astring,then swingtheir conkerat thatof anopponentuntil oneof thembroke.But the game hasfallen out of favour.Children spendless timeoutdoors andrarely haveaccess tochestnuttrees.Besides,many schoolshave bannedconkers games,worried thatthey mightcause injuriesor nutallergies.（规避风险）That sortof risk-averseness nowspreads throughevery aspectof childhood.Playgrounds havealltheexcitementdesigned outof themto makethem safe.Many governments,particularly insocieties suchas America,have tightenedup theirrules,（监管）requiring parentsto superviseyoung childrenfar moreclosely thaninthepast.Frank FuredioftheUniversity ofKent,a criticonmodern parenting,argues thatallowing childrentoplayunsupervised orleaving themat homealone is increasingly describedas asymptomof irresponsibleparenting.Tn part,such increasedcaution isa responsetothehuge waveof changes.Large-scale urbanization,smaller andmore mobilefamilies,the moveof womeninto thelabor marketand thedigitization ofmany aspectsof lifehave unavoidablychanged theway that（精细化的）people bringup their children.There islittle chancethat anyof thesetrends willbe changed,so todaysmore intensiveparenting style islikely togo on.Such parentingpractices nowembraced bywealthy parentsin manyparts ofthe richworld,particularly inAmerica,go farbeyondan adjustmentto changesin externalconditions.They meana strongbid toensure thatthe advantagesenjoyed bythe parentsgenerationare passedon totheir children.Since successin lifenow turnsmainly oneducation,such parentswill dotheir bestto providetheirchildren with the schooling,the charactertraining and the socialskills thatwill secureaccess tothe bestuniversities andlater themostattractive jobs.To someextent thathasalwaysbeen thecase.But thereare moresuch parentsnow,and theyare competingwith eachother forwhateconomists callpositional goods.This competitionstarts evenbefore thechildren are born.The wealthyclasses willtake theirtimeto selectasuitablespouse andget married,and willstart afamily onlywhentheyfeel ready for it.Children fromless advantagedbackgrounds,by contrast,often appearbefore theirparents arereadyfor them.In America60%ofbirths tosingle womenunder30are unplanned,and over40%of childrenare bornoutside marriage.The result,certainly inAmerica,hasbeento widenalready massivesocial inequalitiesyet further.All theevidence suggeststhat childrenfrom poorerbackgrounds areatadisadvantage almostas soonas theyareborn.By theageof fiveor sixtheyarefar lessuschool-ready^^than their better-off peers,so anyattempts tohelp themcatch uphavetostart longbeforethey getto school.America hashad somesuccess withvarious schemesinvolving regularhome visitsby nursesor socialworkers tolow-income familieswith newbabies.It alsohas longexperience withprogrammes foryoung childrenfrom poorfamilies thatcombinesupport forparents withgood-quality childcare.Such programmesdo seemtomakea difference.Without extraeffort,children fromlow-income familiesin mostcountries aremuch lesslikely thantheirbetter-off peersto attendpreschool education,even thoughtheyare morelikely to benefit fromit.And datafrom theOECDs PISAprogramme suggestthat childrenneed atleast twoyears ofpreschooleducation toperform attheir bestwhentheyare
15.So themost promisingway toensure greaterequality maybe tomake early-years educationand carefor morewidely availableandmore affordable,as itisinthe Nordics.Some governmentsare alreadyrethinking theireducational priorities,shifting someof theirspendingtotheearly years.Most richcountries decidedmore thana centuryago thatfree,compulsory educationforallchildren wasa worthwhileinvestmentfor society.There isnow anargument forstarting preschooleducation earlier,as somecountries havealready done.In theface ofcrushingnew inequalities,a modernversion ofthat approachis worthtrying.、1What canwe learnfromthefirst twoparagraphsA.More attentionis placedon childrenssafety.B.More andmore parentsare becomingirresponsible.C.Children areno longerinterested inoutdoor activities.D.Parents areadvised tospend moretime withtheirchildren.、2Which ofthe followingabout intensiveparentingstyleis TRUEA.Chances arethat thisstyle couldbe changed.B.Financial pressureforces parentstobestricter.C.Rich familiesadopt suchstyle tokeep theiradvantages.D.Such styleis largelyinfluenced bythesizeofthefamily.、3What doesthe underlinedsentence implyA.Economists offerpractical adviceto guideparenting.B.A happymarriage secureschildrens socialpositions.C.Unfair divisionof socialresources drivesparents mad.D.Parents arestruggling for their childrensedge overpeers.、4Which isthepropermeasure tonarrow thegap betweenthe richandthepoorA.Parents arepersuaded togive birthto babiesintheirlater years.B.Funds areprovided forpoor childrenafter theyare admittedto school.C.New babiesin low-income familiesare sentto nursesor socialworkers.D.Children fromlow-income familiesare ensuredto receiveearly education.、5Whats theauthors attitudetowards investmentin pre-school educationA.Supportive B.DisapprovingC.Skeptic D.Unconcerned、6The authorbegins thepassage withthegameof conkersto_.A.show competitionoverweighs cooperationB.imply educationalinequalities shouldbe brokenC.make readersaware ofthe rulesofthegameD.indicate thegame haslost itsappeal tochildren（分）
