The original chocolate drink was made form the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the "Potato Famine" of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the1400’s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the "wide-awake" feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.41. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?A. FoodB. ChocolateC. PotatoD. Coffee答案：A42. "Some" in "Some still exist today" meansA. some cocoa trees.B. some chocolate drinks.C. some shops.D. some South American Indians.答案：C43. Thousands of Irish people starved during the "Potato Famine" becauseA. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything else.B. they were forced to emigrate to America.C. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potato.D. the potato harvest was bad.答案：D44. Coffee originally came fromA. Brazil.B. Colombia.C. Ethiopia.D. Arabia.答案：C45. The Arabic legend is used to prove thatA. coffee was first discovered by Mexico.B. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi.C. coffee was first discovered in north American countries.D. coffee was first discovered in south American countries.答案：DInsomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause. Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feelingthat your sleep was not adequate for you. For women who are having night sweats, their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns. If it doesn’t it may be, or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know? If you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you’re not having night sweats then it’s time to look for other causes of sleeplessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them; there are new medicines that may help. Other common causes are shift working, and pain. In up to 30% of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified. Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills. It is estimated that 25% of the adult population in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time. Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits. The recommendations are:-Go to bed only when sleepy.-Do not wait up to a specified time.-Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening, etc.46.

The 25-34 and 35-44 age groups had similar participation rates, both around 60%. The 45-54 age group showed a notable decrease in activity levels, with just over 50% engaging in regular exercise. The 55-64 age group had the lowest rate of physical activity, with just under 40% of individuals participating.Overall, the data suggests that younger age groups were more likely to engage in regular physical activities compared to their older counterparts.大作文：议论文The advancement of technology has had a profound impact on the way people live and work. Some argue that it has madelife more convenient, while others believe that it has led to a loss of interpersonal skills and a sense of community. This essay will discuss both views and provide a balanced conclusion.On the one hand, technology has indeed made our lives easier in many ways. For instance, the internet has revolutionized communication, allowing people to connect with others instantly across the globe. Online shopping and digital banking have also simplified daily tasks, saving time and effort. Furthermore, automation and artificial intelligence have increased productivity in various industries, leading to economic growth and improved living standards.On the other hand, critics argue that technology has also had negative effects on society. The over-reliance on digital communication has been blamed for the decline in face-to-face interactions, which are essential for building strong relationships and a sense of community. Additionally, the constant use of smartphones and social media has been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, particularly among young people.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly brought about significant conveniences, it is crucial to be mindful of its potential drawbacks. It is the responsibility of individuals and society as a whole to use technology wisely and maintain a healthy balance between the digital and physical worlds.口语部分第一部分：自我介绍Examiner: Good morning/afternoon.

His death led his father to lobby for laws to be passed to improve how schools address bullying and suicide prevention and his tragedy uncovered the devastation wrought by cyber-bullying.With development in technology, cyber bullying has become more and more prevalent. And it also brings about increasing challenges for parents and educators. This bullying in the digital age affects millions of children throughout the world each year.A.Cyber-bullying, a term only coined when Internet became more accessible and affordable for people, take various different forms from physical bullying, including sending threatening messages, displaying private messages and posting embarrassing video and photos online. “It’s school-yard bullying taken to the next level,” says Justin Patchin, a criminologist at the University of Wisconsin. Nearly three in four teens say they were bullied online at least once during a recent 12-month period, and only one in 10 reported cyber-bullying to parents or other adults, according to Jaana Juvonen, leader of a study in University of California. Another study by UK-based internet market research firm YouGov in 2006 found that cyber-bullying is even worse than physical bullying.B.Research into the causes and effects of cyber-bullying is still in its infancy. But it is becoming clear that nature of online communication determines exactly how severe the problem is. An unreal online environment encourages people to act aggressively, prompting them to do things they wouldn’t dare to try in real life. What’s more, the ability to reach more people, and the always-on culture of the internet, means that cyber-bullying can have an even more detrimental effect on the victim than conventional playground bullying.What theatens people is the sheer number of people who can view something hat is posed online. “Girls send their boyfriends photos of themselves and then hey get dumped and every boy within he year 12 groups has a copy,”says Susan Mclean, Senior Constable from Victoria Police in Australia, “they don’understand that their words or images intended for a small audience can find an audience of millions.” It would be bad enough o be cyber-bullied by one kid and nobody else knew about it, but a video seen by hundreds or thousands of peers could be devastating.Another point is the high probability of being bullied online. “When I was a kid, playground bullying stopped when the bell rang and you went back inside or when you went home at the end of the day,” says John Carr, chair of the Children’s Charities’ Coalition for Internet Safety in London.” But with cyber-bullying, it is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is no escape.” While an adult could simply turn off the computer, that’s not really an option for today’s teen, who are dependent on the internet for communicating with heir peers. A 2007 Pew study found that 93 percent of Us teens use the internet and 61 percent go online daily.C.Anonymity can also amplify bullying’s negative effects on the victim. “The psychological ramifications of not knowing who’s attacking you can be maddening,”says Robin Kowalski, a psychologist at Clemson University in South Carolina.”The bully could be your best friend, a sibling, or half the school.” In a recent, as yet unpublished survey she carried out, nearly half of the children she interviewed didn’t know who their cyber-bully was.The lack of face-to face contact migh also tempt bullies to new levels of cruelty. On the playground, seeing the stress and pain of the victim face-to-face can act as an inhibitor to some degree; however, in cyberspace, where there is no visual contact, online offenders tend to go extreme. Kowalski claims the effect is unique to computer-mediated communication. “There is a distancing of the self and immediacy in response that we don’t have in any other form of communication,” she says.” On the computer, it’s like it’s not really you.”D.So what can be done” Led by Ruth Aylet of Herio-Watt University in Edinburh, Uk, a consortium of European researchers recently developed a role-playing software called FearNot!, which aims to get children to empathise with a victim of bullying and feel in sympathy during the process. After watching a short animation of a child being bulled either in the playground or online, the viewer is asked to help the victim by typing advice into the computer. The software will be tested in schools in the Uk and Germany later this year.Meanwhile, some governments have taken legislative actions. In January 2006, the US Congress passed a law making it a federal crime to” annoy, abuse, theaten or harass” another person over the internet. Approximately 36 states have enacted similar legislation. And in South Korea, the”internet real-name system”’ introduced last month, forces online portals and news websites to record the identities of people who post content and to disclose their contact details if someone wants to sue them for libel or infringement of privacy.E.However, it can be difficult to persuade people to take these laws seriously, and in the US they only apply to over-18s. “Many jurisdictions don’t want to investigate or prosecute these cases,”says A1 Kush of , an internet safety advocacy group based in Seattle, Washington. “They are short-staffed and busy pursuing what they call real crime.”Questions 5-8Look at the following statements and he list of people below.Match each statement with the correct person.Write the correct letter A-F in boxes 5-8 on your answer sheet.5.The probability of cyber-bullying was higher than that of schoolyard bullying.

Some people say part-time jobs are useful for full-time students, because they can earn money and gain career experience. Others, however, regard part-time jobs as useless experience, because the take up most of student’s time. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.You should write at least 250 words.You should use your ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.In the modern society,doing part-time jobs in college has become a hot issue.Some people think students can profit from part-time jobs. But there still have a part of people think doing part-time jobs waste too much time.Personal views,though students need give priority to study,the practical ability of students is essential.The purpose of our study is adapt to the society.If you spend all your school time to learning,may be you can get a high mark.But it is wrong to equate high mark with real ability. After student graduate,they all need to find a good job.If you have no part-time job experience,you will be difficult to adapt your new job.You can learn a lot in class,but those are just some knowledge in your brain,all things are your teacher tells you.You should put your knowledge into practice,or your knowledge is useless.The experience in your part-time jobs is really belong to yourself.No one can stole it.It's your wealth.When your are doing part-time jobs,you can find some new way to slove the problem.It can pave the way for the jobs in your future.Part-time jobs take up most of student’s time,there seems to be plenty of reasons to confirm this.If you alway worry about your job,what about your study?Studying is always prevail over doing part-time jobs for a student.Doing part-time jobs will distract students from studying.But in my opinion,a real good student must have various abilities.There's no contradiction between studying and doing part-time jobs. So just focus on one aspect is unwarranted.We need balance our studying time and doing part-jobs time.If we doing part-time jobs can also with a high mark.I think this is the best result.Use part-time jobs to full of our school life is the best choice!。

Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match，and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all that are important，and games are left for the children themselves. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in classroom， it also means the training of character by means of games，especially team games，where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone. The school therefore plays games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game；it is good forboth body and mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England. 31．In paragraph 1，“this ”means .A． people often shout at each other in a football matchB． people，rich and poor，young and old， often play football C． football is the most popular game in EnglandD． people usually go to the important matches32．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．English children have more knowledge of football than adults.B．Nearly all European schools consider lessons the most important.C．It is surprising that English children have great knowledge of football.D．English schools attach more importance to football than nearly all European schools.33．What does education mean in England？A．Filling a boy’mind with facts.B．Teaching how to work with others for the team.C．Training character by means of games.D．More than the teaching of knowledge.34．From the passage， we learn that .A．football is popular mostly among English children.B．schools in England make use of football for the training ofbody and mind.C．football is more important than lessons in England.D．other European schools consider football unimportant（B）A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司）of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. People who regularly eat fish never suffer from hear disease.C. Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.D. There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.36. The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) roughly mean “_______”.A. large fishB. fresh fishC. fish that live in salt waterD. fish that have little fat37. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the effect of fish eating on people’s healthC. the changes in people’s dietD. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures38. The phrase “this relationship” (para graph 6) refers to the connection between _______ and the level of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eaten?B. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eaten??D. people of different areas（C）For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb (吸收) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.39. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful thanthe air outside because _______.A.indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB.man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC.there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD.the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful40. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD.all kinds of offices41. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.A.the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB.the building way that the builders want to save energyC.the building things that are made of man-made materialsD.the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow42. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to cleanthe air is that ________.A.plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB.plants may take in more oxygen which people needC.plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsE.plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy（D）New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant (瞬间的) damage to the other tower realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.Katherine Ilachinsiki, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一阵)of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), cried sharply and set off too.But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring (使……确信) them that the building was sound and the threat (威胁)was limited to the other tower.Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions (警告) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed (坠落，碰撞) into the south tower.One of those caught in indecision (犹豫不决) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr Jacobs said. 43. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ________.A. at 8:30B. 18 minutes earlier than the north towerC. at around 9:06D. at 8:4844. The underlined words “stay put” means ________.A. stay in the buildingB. leave at onceC. put everything back and then leaveD. keep silent45. Which floor was hit by the second plane?A. The 91st floorB. The 103rd floorC. The 60th floorD. The 79th floor46. Fewer people would have died if ________.A. more announcements had been madeB. people hadn’t used the liftsC. the attack had happened on a weekendD. the people had obeyed the office rules（E）Paloalto, California—“Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet,” US researchers said last week.A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.“The findings are important because they sho w that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said.In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.47. The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.A. eat in front of the TVB. change their dietC. do special exercisesD. spend much time watching TV48. According to the report, the time American children usually spendon watching TV and videos or playing video games ________.A. is four hours a day or moreB. is less than four hours a dayC. has doubled in the last 20 yearsD. has been reduced to one-quarter49. The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ____.A. one hourB. two hoursC. three hoursD. four hours50. Watching TV will increase kid’s weight because ________.A.they usually eat more and move lessB.they no longer take part in outdoor activitiesC.they will not burn off caloriesD.they will enjoy having meals in front of the television第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）首先，请阅读下列的应用文：Three Seasons Tel: 445987We can provide all types of accommodation for all types ofBanbury House Tel: 564839Enjoy mixing with other students in comfortable accommodation? 10 minutes’ walk to the universityFirst Stop Tel: 223300Suitable for new students.

However,allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded children’sindependent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. In recent surveys, when parents in some cities were asked about their own childhood experiences, the majority rememberedhaving more, or far more, opportunities for going out on their own, compared with their own children today. They had more freedom to explore their own environment.2.Children’s independent access to their local streets may be important for their ownpersonal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a ‘sense of place’. This depends on‘active exploration’, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars.(Such children may see more, but they learn less.) Not only is it important that children are able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.3.There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transportingtheir children to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds.4.The reduction in children’s freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense oflocal community. As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This is itself may exacerbate fears associated with assault and molestation of children, and who can look out for their safety.5.The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion,pollution and accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thus contributing to increased levels of danger for theremaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experience either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points.Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children’s loss of freedom.6.As individual, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children.However, in doing so, . by driving their children to sport, school) or generally, the idea that ‘streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children’s a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off thestreets if they want to protect their safety.7.In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts in Germany, residentialstreets are now places where cares must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, residents are accepting the view that the function of street is not solely to provide mobility for cars.Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of ‘traffic calming’ initiatives, aimed at reducing the volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complex interactive effects, leading to a sense thatchildren have able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children inmany German cities have significantly higher levels of freedom to travel to places in their own neighborhood or city than children in other cities in the world.8.Modifying cities in order to enhance children’s freedom will not only benefit children.Such cities will become more environmentally sustainable, as well as more sociable and more livable for all city residents. Perhaps, it will be our concern for our children’swelfare that convinces us that we need to challenge the dominance of the car in our cities.

Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. In recent surveys, when parents in some cities were asked about their own childhood experiences, the majority remembered having more, or far more, opportunities for going out on their own, compared with their own children today. They had more freedom to explore their own environment.2.Children’s independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal,mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a ‘sense of place’. This depends on ‘active exploration’, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars. (Such children may see more, but they learn less.) Not only is it important that children are able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.3.There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transporting theirchildren to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds.4.The reduction in children’s freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of localcommunity. As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This is itself may exacerbate fears associated with assault and molestation of children, and who can look out for their safety.5.The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollutionand accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thus contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experience either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children’s loss of freedom.6.As individual, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, indoing so, . by driving their children to sport, school) or generally, the idea that ‘streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children’s a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety. 7.In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts in Germany, residential streets arenow places where cares must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, residents are accepting the view that the function of street is not solely to provide mobility for cars. Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of ‘traffic calming’initiatives, aimed at reducing the volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complexinteractive effects, leading to a sense that children have able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children in many German cities have significantly higher levels of freedom to travel to places in their own neighborhood or city than children in other cities in the world.8.Modifying cities in order to enhance children’s freedom will not only benefit children. Such citieswill become more environmentally sustainable, as well as more sociable and more livable for all city residents. Perhaps, it will be our concern for our children’s welfare that convinces us that we need to challenge the dominance of the car in our cities.Questions 1—5Read statement 1-5 which relate to paragraphs 1,2 and 3 of the reading passage.
