21、Earth’s longest artificial structure is usually said to be the Great Wall of China while the second-longest is not a wall, but a fence. It stretches for 5,614km across eastern Australia and is intended to stop the country’s wild dogs, the dingoes (野犬), from hunting sheep.

Australia’s dingo fence does not stand alone. Millions of kilometres of fences wrap the world.

Some are intended to limit the movement of animals, some the movement of people, and some merely to mark the boundary.

Until recently, data on the effects of fences on wildlife have been inadequate. That has changed with the publication of a report by Professor Alex Mclnturff. One discovery he has made is that more than half of published fence research focuses on just five countries — America, Australia, Botswana, China and South Africa. A second is that only a third of these studies examined the impact of fences on anything other than the target species involved, meaning the animals purposely intended to be kept in or out.

Non-target species, however, are often those that have their fortunes most greatly reshaped by the appearance of poles and wire. Australian fences intended to keep out dingoes are also barriers to long-necked turtles, which travel great distances over land when moving between nesting sites. In Botswana fences built to spare cattle from wildlife-borne disease result in serious interference with wildebeest (角马) migrations.

Not every creature fares badly. Hawks (鹰) in Montana gladly sit on newly built livestock fences to hunt small animals, while fence-based spiders in South Africa outperform their tree-based cousins when it comes to catching insects.

Often, though, the winners are creatures that cause trouble for existing ecosystems. Keeping dingoes out of large parts of Australia has allowed aggressive red foxes to multiply. Native rodents (啮齿类动物) have suffered as a result. Some have been brought to the edge of extinction.

【1】Which is a purpose of building fences?

A．To expand the boundary of a country.

B．To protect livestock like sheep and cattle.

C．To stop wild animals from being hunted.

D．To help people move around freely.

【2】What can we learn about the studies on fences?

A．Data on the impact of fences have been proved.

B．Previous researches were complete and systematic.

C．About two-thirds of the studies focus on the target animals.

D．Not all studies examined the effect of fences on wildlife.

【3】Which animals unexpectedly benefit from fences?

A．Long-necked turtles in Australia.

B．Cattle in Botswana.

C．Tree-based spiders in South Africa.

D．Red foxes in Australia.

【4】What is the writer’s attitude to the fences around the world?

A．Disapproving.

B．Favorable.

C．Objective.

D．Cautious.

22、Critical reading is a skill by which an individual takes in information in a more analytical way. When reading in this way, readers are not simply trying to understand and memorize what is written. 【1】 Critical readers also avoid totally accepting what is written as fact. To achieve these goals, critical readers need critical thinking skills.

As critical readers tend to be more analytical than other readers, they are usually not as easily convinced. Though a writer may make certain statements, critical readers keep open minds, and do not accept what is written. When doing critical reading, in addition to what a writer writes, a person gets information from what he or she means. The critical reader realizes that writers often have specific motivations. 【2】

For example, a particular book could be written in attempt to advocate a point. In addition to determining the motive, critical reading involves analyzing whether the information provided supports the views and intentions of the writer. 【3】

【4】 It is not uncommon for critical readers to make notes or to reference other works when reading a particular text. This helps critical readers do more in-depth thinking.

Critical reading is a skill that often has to be developed consciously. A person may assume, for example, that a student would naturally develop into a critical reader due to the amount of information met. 【5】 Critical reading works with critical thinking, which also tends to require development. If a reader cannot think critically, he or she will lack the ability to assess his or her own understanding of the material.

A．Developing critical reading skills matters much

B．Critical readers approach reading with a critical attitude

C．Instead, they draw understanding from factors like intention

D．This type of reading often involves going through the text at a slower pace

E．Many teachers, however, find it necessary to help students learn these skills

F．Therefore, the readers’ aim is to understand why a writer puts forth the given information

G．Critical readers are aware of the reasons why they accepts or objects to the information that is presented

23、   Play time is in short supply for young children these days and the lifelong consequences for developing children can be more serious than many people realize.

An article in the most recent issue of the American Journal of Play details not only how much children’s play time has declined, but how this lack of play affects emotional development, leading to the rise of anxiety, depression, and problems of attention and self control. “Since about 1955, children’s free play has been continually declining, at least partly because adults have applied ever-increasing control over children’s activities.” says the author Peter Gray, Ph. D, Professor of Psychology at Boston College.

We can describe the unstructured freely-chosen play as a testing ground for life. It provides critical life experiences without which young children cannot develop into confident and competent adults. So kids need more of it, not less. Because play is how young children learn important social and emotional skills such as sharing, cooperating, communicating, and empathizing. It helps them develop fit bodies, strong minds, and brave hearts, so they can take on new challenges and risky situations.

Gray’s article is meant to serve as a wake-up call regarding the effects of lost play. We must know that lack of childhood free play time is a huge loss that must be paid attention to for the sake of our children and society. But parents who keep a lookout over and disturb their children’s play are a big part of the problem. It is hard to find groups of children outdoors at all, and, if you do find them, they are likely to be wearing school uniforms and following the directions of coaches while their parents dutifully watch and cheer.

Actually, when children are in charge of their own play, it provides a foundation for their future mental health as older children and adults. Play gives children a chance to find and develop a connection to their own self-identified and self-guided interest. It is through play that children first learn to make decisions, solve problems, improve self-control, and follow rules. Play helps children make friends and learn to get along with each other as equals. Most importantly, play is a source of happiness.

When parents realize the major role that free play can take in the development of emotionally healthy children and adults, they may wish to reassess the priorities ruling their children’s lives. The needs for childcare, academic and athletic success and children’s safety is important. But perhaps parents can begin to identify small changes——such as openings in the schedule, backing off from quite so many supervised (有监督的) activities, and possibly slightly less keeping watch on the playground that would start the slow returning to the direction of free, imaginative-directed play.

【1】What do we know from the first two paragraphs?

A. The rise of children’s anxiety is more serious than people realize.

B. Lack of play time leads to kids’ unhealthy emotional development.

C. More young children are suffering from depression due to free play.

D. Playing too much leads to problems of kids’ attention and self control.

【2】According to Peter Gray, unstructured freely-chosen play _______ .

A. is full of challenges and risky situations

B. should be balanced with adult-directed activities

C. does harm to children’s confidence and competence

D. has good effect on children’s social and emotional skills

【3】The article is intended for ____________.

A. parents B. teachers

C. coaches D. children

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Do Children Need More Self-guided Play?

B. Are Children Interested in Guided Play?

24、 Many years ago, I went through a tough time．One afternoon, I picked my girls up．It was late when we returned home．I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldn’t go in．I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight．When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells．Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, I really didn’t give it much consideration．

I found all windows were locked up tight．So I returned to the back door．Oh my God, I will never forget the shock of that moment．The house was empty！Other than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone！Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up．They inquired why I had broken into the house．They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address, so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house．I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock．

At this point they were not buying any of my story．I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep．

I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call．The owner was quite shocked to hear my story．She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction（驱逐）process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case．She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date．The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000．

The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do．The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend．

The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car．They were both exhausted and old．Also very frightened, because they thought their mamma was going to jail．I had to pull over because the tears took control．I couldn’t believe it！Everything we owned was gone, I had used up all our money moving in and paying my “friend” our share of costs．I knew very few people in town, as we had just moved there recently．

I went to sit back in the car with the girls, I talked to the girls, explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn’t be afraid．During this time there was a “street person” with a bag, looking in the garbage for cans, bottles, and anything that might bring him some cash．But I didn’t pay much attention to him．I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast．We grabbed some bread, and chips and returned for a “picnic”．When we got there, I noticed that the man was not alone．He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat amongst themselves．

I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying, “MaAm, please excuse… but…well…I overheard the situation you are in, and well… I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls．It’s not very much, but maybe it’ll help a little．” I looked up at this man---dirty, needing a shave ----and saw the face of an angel．I started crying．The man tried to hand me $30．I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could．I told him, “Thank you for your more than generous offer, but we are going to be just fine．” He didn’t believe me at first, but I convinced him that it was okay．

Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park．It didn’t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch．I had a wonderful afternoon that day, sitting there with those old guys, singing songs．They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had．They shared themselves… from the heart．
