Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation (认可) and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia (失眠).
Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.
“It’s a real problem—those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses (与他人攀比),” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
4. Why did an A-minus feel like a failure to Magee?
A. It was a very low grade. B. She had never got an A-minus.
C. She had a high level of perfectionism. D. She needed perfect grades to get into top schools.
5. What does the underlined word “fuel” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Prevent. B. Increase. C. Allow. D. Explain.
6. What may Magee agree with finally?
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
C
Empathy and generosity are two traits (特征) that make the world go around. But a study suggests that the willingness to help collapses when people get too little or poor-sleep.
To see how sleep affects how much humans help one another, researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal (社会的) scale. Their results are published in PLOS Biology.
In the first experiment, researchers performed functional MRI scans (功能性磁共振成像扫描) of the brain and asked questions to 24 adults after eight hours of sleep and after a night with no sleep. When they were well rested, the participants scored well on a helping behavior test. But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family. The scans showed that areas of the brain associated with social cognition (认知) — our thought processes related to other people — were less active with sleep loss.
The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day. The effect held for them, too, and those who reported worse sleep quality scored worse on the tests.
To test the effects on a societal level, the researchers then looked at a database (数据库) of 3 million charitable donations given between 2001 and 2016. They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (夏令时) — a sleep disrupter — donations dropped 10 percent. The effect wasn’t found in data from Hawaii or Arizona, however; neither observe daylight saving time.
Why bother studying how helpful people are when we don’t get enough shut-eye?
“We’re starting to see more and more studies, including this one, where the effects of sleep loss don’t just stop at the individual, but spread to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist at the University of California who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you’ re not getting enough sleep, it doesn’t just hurt your own well-being, it hurts the well-being of your entire social circle, including strangers.”
There’s a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior, he writes: Unlike personality traits, sleep can be adjusted — both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.
7. What does the underlined word “collapse” probably mean in paragraph 1?
A. Disappear. B. Vary. C. Shoot. D. Decrease.
8. Which of the following statements is true according to the first experiment?
A. Participants who had sufficient sleep were unwilling to aid others.
B. Those who didn’t rest well were willing to help friends and family.
C. The MRI scans showed that generous behavior promotes social cognition.
D. About three quarters of participants were unwilling to help due to lack of sleep.
9. What does Eti Ben Simon mainly stress in last two paragraphs?
A. Bettering our sleep will benefit society as a whole.
B. The loss of sleep poses a major danger to individuals.
C. Having enough sleep can do wonders for your constitution (体质).
D. Improving sleeping quality should be given the top priority in the USA.
10. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The societal impact of sleep loss
B. The importance of empathy and generosity
C. Too little sleep makes people less generous
D. There’s a silver lining to ungenerous behavior
D
During the school year, Kacer works about10hours a week, juggling his job with school and cheerleading practice. But he hopes to pick up more shifts (轮班) this summer to earn extra spending money and to help his family save for his college tuition.
Across the country, lawmakers are supporting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that — by loosening some child labor protections at the state level. Ohio and other states, for example, have proposed bills that would permit teens — with their parents’ permission — to work later at night, even on school days. In some states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, legislation would allow teens to take jobs in a wider range of industries, including construction.
As businesses started reopening after the global crisis, many adults left low-wage jobs for better-paying ones. “Adult workers no longer. want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,” Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, “so employers suddenly turned to youth.”
Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. For starters, many teens must work in order to help their families make ends meet. A recent study also found that students with part-time jobs are more likely to earn higher wages in the future compared with classmates who don’t work. Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy. In addition, having a job instills responsibility in teens and could even lead to an eventual career.
But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home. And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death. Charlie Wishman, president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, is against his state’s bill that would allow some teens to work in manufacturing (制造业) and meatpacking facilities. “Child labor should be limited and safe,” he told reporters. “Let kids be kids. There are plenty of job opportunities right now for kids to gain experience and learn responsibility without putting them in danger.” In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work; their education will suffer. Research shows that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can tire young people out and leave less time for studying.
While states continue to debate changing their child labor laws, there is one thing that many people agree-on: The country’s labor shortage, they say, could be largely solved if more employers offered better pay and benefits to adults.
11. Why do employers hire more teenagers after the global crisis (危机)?
A. Because teenagers need to work to save money for further study.
B. Because economic recovery creates new jobs suitable for teenagers.
C. Because young employees can better cope with rude customers.
D. Because adults turn to higher-paying jobs with better environment.
12. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 4?
A. Teens without work may earn less than their peers in the future.
B. Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages.
C. Young people can help support their families through working.
D. Teenagers can learn to be responsible from working experience.
13. Which harmful effect of allowing teenagers to work more is NOT mentioned in Paragraph5?
A. Heavy work will leave students little time to explore interests.
B. Going home late after work will pose a risk to kids’ safety.
C. Students will gain working experience at the cost of study.
D. Teenagers can get injured in dangerous work environment.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards loosening child labor protections?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent (冷漠).
15. What is the article mainly about?
A. Whether Kacer should pick up more shifts this summer.
B. How to solve labor shortage in manufacturing industry.
C. Whether youth should be given more job opportunities.
D. Why people disagree with changing the child labor laws.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ask a group of kids about their favorite part of the school day and many will talk about something that happened at recess (课间休息). Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars. Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground. ____16____.
It’s true not just according to kids, but also to adults who study recess for kids. Whether they’re inventing a new game or sitting under a tree, kids need a break — or several of them — during the school day.
Why kids need recess
____17____. You need time away to process (处理) it. Besides, physical activity that involves arms and legs — running, climbing, crawling — builds new neural(神经的) connections, which helps kids regulate their emotions (情感). Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class, perform better and have fewer emotional problems.
How much recess kids should get
“Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates (提倡) for outdoor play in schools. ____18____. It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded (扩展) the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.
____19____
In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination (协调性). Maybe running up the slide (滑梯) is not as unsafe as it looks. ____20____. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.
A. How to make recess better
B. Who should help kids at recess
C. This suggestion has been widely accepted
D. Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess
E. You can’t have your brains go hours at a time to store information

It’s a man thing, I guess. As a father, I need to _____30_____ my impatient son an important lesson of _____31_____, courage, and pride. Therefore, I wouldn’t _____32_____ on the court or wherever.

Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation (认可) and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia (失眠).
Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.
“It’s a real problem—those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses (与他人攀比),” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
4. Why did an A-minus feel like a failure to Magee?
A. It was a very low grade. B. She had never got an A-minus.
C. She had a high level of perfectionism. D. She needed perfect grades to get into top schools.
5. What does the underlined word “fuel” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Prevent. B. Increase. C. Allow. D. Explain.
6. What may Magee agree with finally?
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃,引出话题——这个时代,父母把竞争意识强加给孩子,以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较,完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害,最后接受了自己的不完美。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation(认可) and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure.(在她成长的过程中,她了解到,获得家庭成员和教师的确认和爱的方式是一个很高的成就。对Magee来说,A-就像是失败了。)”可知,A-minus对Magee来说就像是失败,因为她有很高的完美主义。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“It’s a real problem—those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses(与他人攀比),(这是一个真正的问题,那些社交媒体的图像最终是人们可以比较自己和一个完美主义者的标准,总是试图跟上琼斯的关系,)”,可知,媒体助长了不健康的比较,所以划线词的意思是“助长,促进”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. ‘I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!’(最终,Magee学会了,她不得不放手,让自己看到她所有的不完美。她最终学会了相信她能出现,而不是完美,而且仍然感到有价值。“我可以不完美,一切都很好!”)”可知,小女孩Hailey Magee最后接受了自己的不完美。故选B。
C
Empathy and generosity are two traits (特征) that make the world go around. But a study suggests that the willingness to help collapses when people get too little or poor-sleep.
To see how sleep affects how much humans help one another, researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal (社会的) scale. Their results are published in PLOS Biology.
In the first experiment, researchers performed functional MRI scans (功能性磁共振成像扫描) of the brain and asked questions to 24 adults after eight hours of sleep and after a night with no sleep. When they were well rested, the participants scored well on a helping behavior test. But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family. The scans showed that areas of the brain associated with social cognition (认知) — our thought processes related to other people — were less active with sleep loss.
The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day. The effect held for them, too, and those who reported worse sleep quality scored worse on the tests.
To test the effects on a societal level, the researchers then looked at a database (数据库) of 3 million charitable donations given between 2001 and 2016. They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (夏令时) — a sleep disrupter — donations dropped 10 percent. The effect wasn’t found in data from Hawaii or Arizona, however; neither observe daylight saving time.
Why bother studying how helpful people are when we don’t get enough shut-eye?
“We’re starting to see more and more studies, including this one, where the effects of sleep loss don’t just stop at the individual, but spread to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist at the University of California who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you’ re not getting enough sleep, it doesn’t just hurt your own well-being, it hurts the well-being of your entire social circle, including strangers.”
There’s a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior, he writes: Unlike personality traits, sleep can be adjusted — both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.
7 What does the underlined word “collapse” probably mean in paragraph 1?
A. Disappear. B. Vary. C. Shoot. D. Decrease.
8. Which of the following statements is true according to the first experiment?
A. Participants who had sufficient sleep were unwilling to aid others.
B. Those who didn’t rest well were willing to help friends and family.
C. The MRI scans showed that generous behavior promotes social cognition.
D. About three quarters of participants were unwilling to help due to lack of sleep.
9. What does Eti Ben Simon mainly stress in last two paragraphs?
A. Bettering our sleep will benefit society as a whole.
B. The loss of sleep poses a major danger to individuals.
C. Having enough sleep can do wonders for your constitution (体质).
D. Improving sleeping quality should be given the top priority in the USA.
10. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The societal impact of sleep loss
B. The importance of empathy and generosity
C. Too little sleep makes people less generous
D. There’s a silver lining to ungenerous behavior
【答案】7. D 8. D 9. A 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,睡眠的充足情况会影响人们帮助他人的意愿。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“when people get too little or poor-sleep(当人们睡眠太少或睡眠不足时)”和第三段中的“But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family.(但在睡眠不足之后,78%的人帮助他人的意愿就会减少,即使是朋友和家人)”可推知,当人们睡眠太少或睡眠不佳时,帮助别人的意愿就会降低。由此可知,划线词collapse和decrease(减少,降低)意思接近。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family.(但在睡眠不足之后,78%的人帮助他人的意愿就会减少,即使是朋友和家人)”可知,第一个实验表明,在睡眠不足的情况下,有78%的人,即大约四分之三的参与者由于缺乏睡眠而不愿意帮忙。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““We’re starting to see more and more studies, including this one, where the effects of sleep loss don’t just stop at the individual, but spread to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist at the University of California who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you’ re not getting enough sleep, it doesn’t just hurt your own well-being, it hurts the well-being of your entire social circle, including strangers.”(“我们开始看到越来越多的研究,包括这项研究,其中睡眠不足的影响不仅局限于个人,还蔓延到我们周围的人,”加州大学的科学家Eti Ben Simon在一份新闻稿中说,他参与撰写了这项研究。“如果你睡眠不足,这不仅会伤害你自己的健康,还会伤害你整个社会圈的健康,包括陌生人。”)”和最后一段中的“Unlike personality traits, sleep can be adjusted — both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.(与性格特征不同,睡眠是可以调整的——获得足够的睡眠和帮助他人也获得足够睡眠可能会让世界变得更美好)”可知,Eti Ben Simon认为睡眠不足不仅仅影响自己,还会影响周围的人,会伤害整个社会圈,获得足够睡眠可以帮助让世界变得更美好。由此推知,改善睡眠质量对整个社会有益。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Empathy and generosity are two traits(特征) that make the world go around. But a study suggests that the willingness to help collapses when people get too little- or poor-sleep.(同理心和慷慨是让世界运转的两个特征。但一项研究表明,当人们睡眠过少或睡眠不佳时,帮助他人的意愿就会降低)”可知,本文主要讲述了睡眠不足会影响人们帮助他人的意愿。由此可知,C项“睡眠过少会让人变得不那么慷慨”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
D
During the school year, Kacer works about10hours a week, juggling his job with school and cheerleading practice. But he hopes to pick up more shifts (轮班) this summer to earn extra spending money and to help his family save for his college tuition.
Across the country, lawmakers are supporting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that — by loosening some child labor protections at the state level. Ohio and other states, for example, have proposed bills that would permit teens — with their parents’ permission — to work later at night, even on school days. In some states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, legislation would allow teens to take jobs in a wider range of industries, including construction.
As businesses started reopening after the global crisis, many adults left low-wage jobs for better-paying ones. “Adult workers no longer. want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,” Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, “so employers suddenly turned to youth.”
Some experts say there are benefits to increasing work opportunities for young people. For starters, many teens must work in order to help their families make ends meet. A recent study also found that students with part-time jobs are more likely to earn higher wages in the future compared with classmates who don’t work. Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy. In addition, having a job instills responsibility in teens and could even lead to an eventual career.
But critics of changing the laws worry that doing so could put kids in danger. They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home. And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death. Charlie Wishman, president of the Iowa Federation of Labor, is against his state’s bill that would allow some teens to work in manufacturing (制造业) and meatpacking facilities. “Child labor should be limited and safe,” he told reporters. “Let kids be kids. There are plenty of job opportunities right now for kids to gain experience and learn responsibility without putting them in danger.” In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work; their education will suffer. Research shows that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year can tire young people out and leave less time for studying.
While states continue to debate changing their child labor laws, there is one thing that many people agree-on: The country’s labor shortage, they say, could be largely solved if more employers offered better pay and benefits to adults.
11. Why do employers hire more teenagers after the global crisis (危机)?
A. Because teenagers need to work to save money for further study.
B. Because economic recovery creates new jobs suitable for teenagers.
C. Because young employees can better cope with rude customers.
D. Because adults turn to higher-paying jobs with better environment.
12. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to Paragraph 4?
A. Teens without work may earn less than their peers in the future.
B. Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages.
C. Young people can help support their families through working.
D. Teenagers can learn to be responsible from working experience.
13. Which harmful effect of allowing teenagers to work more is NOT mentioned in Paragraph5?
A. Heavy work will leave students little time to explore interests.
B. Going home late after work will pose a risk to kids’ safety.
C. Students will gain working experience at the cost of study.
D. Teenagers can get injured in dangerous work environment.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards loosening child labor protections?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent (冷漠).
15. What is the article mainly about?
A. Whether Kacer should pick up more shifts this summer.
B. How to solve labor shortage in manufacturing industry.
C. Whether youth should be given more job opportunities.
D. Why people disagree with changing the child labor laws.
【答案】11. D 12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了是否应该为青少年提供更多的工作机会,介绍了支持者和反对者的观点。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As businesses started reopening after the global crisis, many adults left low-wage jobs for better-paying ones. “Adult workers no longer want this crazy low-wage service job that has a ludicrous (荒唐的) schedule, few benefits, and rude customers,”Alicia Sasser Modestino, a labor expert who studies the youth workforce, told reporters, “so employers suddenly turned to youth.”(随着企业在全球危机后复工,许多成年人放弃了低工资的工作,转而从事收入更高的工作。劳动力专家Alicia Sasser Modestino告诉记者:“成年工人不再想要这种工作时间荒唐、薪水低、福利少、顾客粗鲁的服务工作了,所以雇主突然转向青少年。”)”可知,全球金融危机后,雇主雇佣更多的青少年是因为成年工人转向更高薪酬、环境更好的工作。故选D项。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Plus, experts add, working teens are likely to spend more, which helps the economy.(此外,专家们补充说,工作的青少年可能会花费更多,这有助于经济)”可知,工作的青少年会花费更多工资,从而促进经济增长,而不是通过储蓄工资来促进经济增长。B选项“Working teens contribute to economic growth by saving wages.(工作的青少年通过储蓄工资促进经济增长)”表述错误。故选B项。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“They say teens working later at night raises safety concerns, such as how they will get home.(他们说,青少年晚上工作到很晚会引发安全问题,比如他们如何回家)”可知,工作晚回家会对孩子的安全构成威胁;根据“And, they add, some jobs that lawmakers want to open to teens could put young people at risk of injury or death.(他们补充说,立法者希望向青少年开放的一些工作可能会使年轻人面临受伤或死亡的风险)”可知,危险的工作环境可能会使青少年受伤;根据“In addition, some parents and educators worry that if teens devote more time to work; their education will suffer.(此外,一些家长和教育工作者担心,如果青少年把更多时间花在工作上,他们的教育将受到影响)”可知,学生可能会以牺牲学业为代价来获得工作经验。A选项“Heavy work will leave students little time to explore interests.(繁重的工作将使学生几乎没有时间去探索兴趣)”并未在第五段中提及。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While states continue to debate changing their child labor laws, there is one thing that many people agree-on: The country’s labor shortage, they say, could be largely solved if more employers offered better pay and benefits to adults.(虽然各州仍在就修改童工保护法进行辩论,但有一件事是许多人一致同意的:他们说,如果更多的雇主为成年人提供更好的薪酬和福利,那么国家的劳动力短缺问题将在很大程度上得到解决)”可知,作者认为解决劳动力短缺的关键在于为成年人提供更好的薪酬和福利,而不是通过放宽对青少年的保护来增加劳动力,由此可推断出,作者对放宽童工保护持反对意见。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“Across the country, lawmakers are supporting new legislation (立法) that would allow teens like Kacer to do just that — by loosening some child labor protections at the state level.(在全国各地,立法者正在支持一项新的立法,允许像Kacer这样的青少年这样做——在国家层面放宽一些童工保护)”可知,文章主要讨论了是否应该放宽童工保护,为青少年提供更多的工作机会,介绍了支持者和反对者的观点。C选项“Whether youth should be given more job opportunities.(是否应该为青少年提供更多的工作机会)”概括了文章主旨。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ask a group of kids about their favorite part of the school day and many will talk about something that happened at recess (课间休息). Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars. Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground. ____16____.
It’s true not just according to kids, but also to adults who study recess for kids. Whether they’re inventing a new game or sitting under a tree, kids need a break — or several of them — during the school day.
Why kids need recess
____17____. You need time away to process (处理) it. Besides, physical activity that involves arms and legs — running, climbing, crawling — builds new neural(神经的) connections, which helps kids regulate their emotions (情感). Studies show that after recess children are more attentive in class, perform better and have fewer emotional problems.
How much recess kids should get
“Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates (提倡) for outdoor play in schools. ____18____. It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded (扩展) the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.
____19____
In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination (协调性). Maybe running up the slide (滑梯) is not as unsafe as it looks. ____20____. To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.
A. How to make recess better
B. Who should help kids at recess
C. This suggestion has been widely accepted
D. Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess
E. You can’t have your brains go hours at a time to store information

G. And even falling is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子的课间休息活动。
【16题详解】
上文“Maybe they finally made it across the monkey bars. Maybe somebody kicked the ball over the fence. Maybe a fruit tree in a neighboring yard started to drop apples on the playground.(也许他们终于爬过了单杠。也许有人把球踢过了栅栏。也许邻居家院子里的一棵果树开始在操场上掉苹果。)”列举了孩子们的课间休息可能会做的一些事情,D选项“Any one of these things is a marker of a good recess.(这些事情中的任何一件都是一个良好休息的标志)”是对这些事例的总结,句中“these things”指代上文中所描述的三件事,上下文语意连贯。故选D。
【17题详解】
小标题“Why kids need recess (孩子们为什么需要课间休息)”提出问题。E项“You can’t have your brains go hours at a time to store information(你不能让你的大脑一次工作几个小时来存储信息)”和下文“You need time away to process (处理) it.(你需要时间来处理它。)”给出答案:大脑需要时间来处理信息,上下文语意连贯。故选E。
18题详解】
上文““Ideally, children should get four 15-minute recesses every day”, says Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, who advocates (提倡) for outdoor play in schools.(“理想情况下,孩子们每天应该有四次15分钟的休息时间,”德克萨斯州基督教大学的教授Debbie Rhea说,她倡导在学校进行户外活动)”提出德克萨斯州基督教大学的教授Debbie Rhea的建议:在学校进行户外活动。下文“It is noted that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently expanded (扩展) the idea to encourage recess for all students, including those in middle and high school.(值得注意的是,美国疾病控制与预防中心最近扩大了这一理念,鼓励所有学生休息,包括初高中学生。)”可知这一建议得到推广。C选项“This recommendation has been widely accepted.(这一建议已被广泛接受)”承上启下,说明建议得到认可,进而引出下文的推而广之。句中的“This recommendation”指代上文的建议;“has been widely accepted”照应下文“expanded the idea”。故选C。
【19题详解】
设空处是本段小标题,根据下文“In addition to simply providing enough time for recess, schools should teach skills that will make recess more successful. For instance, letting kids run fast will help them develop coordination (协调性).(除了提供足够的休息时间外,学校还应该教授使休息更成功的技巧。例如,让孩子跑得快有助于他们发展协调能力)”可知,本段主要讲有课间休息时间还不够,还需要提升课间休息品质。A选项“How to Make Recess Better.(如何让休息变得更好)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为小标题。故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“Maybe running up the slide (滑梯) is not as unsafe as it looks. (也许滑滑梯并不像看起来那么不安全。)”提到滑滑梯的安全性,下文“To allow children to take reasonable risks with their bodies is also a wise move.(允许孩子们用他们的身体承担合理的风险也是一个明智的举动。)”提出要允许孩子身体承担一定的风险。G选项“And even falling is something kids need to practice to avoid getting badly hurt(甚至摔倒也是孩子们需要练习的事情,以避免受到严重伤害)”承上启下,由“在滑滑梯上可能摔倒”过渡的“允许孩子们用他们的身体承担合理的风险”这一观点。句中“falling”与下文“reasonable risks”相照应,上下文语意连贯。故选G。

【44题详解】
