第一节： 完形填空： I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 5_, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area.

第二节 语法填空： The American Academy of Pediatrics (儿科) says 16 children really need for health development is more good, old-fashioned playtime. Many parents load their 17 (child) schedules with get-smart videos, enrichment activities and lots of classes in a drive to help 18 do better. The efforts often begin as early as babyhood. Free play is neglected in the shuffle, a new academy report says. Numerous studies have shown that free play is very 19 (benefit). It can help children become creative, develop problem-solving skills, relate to others and adjust to school settings, 20 academy report says. “Perhaps above all, play is something 21 is a cherished part of childhood,” says another report, 22 (prepare) by two academy committees for release Monday 23 the group's annual meeting in Atlanta. It adds that enrichment tools and organized activities can be helpful, 24 should not 25 (view) as a requirement for creating successful children. Th ey must be balanced with plenty of free playtime. 第三节： 阅读理解 A Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways. But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet. For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual - 2 - leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult. The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safe guiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed. While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning. In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会) is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning. We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care. 26. The passage is probably written by______ . A. an experienced teacher B. a working parent C. an inspired student D. a city council member 27. The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ___.A. environments B. holidays C. wages D. benefits 28. It is suggested that the summer break be reduced to___A. 2 weeks B. 4.5 weeks C. 5 weeks D. 6 weeks 29. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____ . A.obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs B. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment D. have more school days to receive free school meals
