第四部分：任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．请将答案写在答题卷上相应题号的横线上．

• 31．Nowadays，reading for pleasure is declining among primary-age pupils，and increasing numbers of "time poor" parents are dropping the practice of sharing bedtime stories with their children once they start school．
      Research found that while parents read to preschoolers，by the final year of primary school only around 2% read to their children every day．Once children can read skillfully，parents tend to step back，and this usually happens at the age of seven or eight．The research also found that most teachers blame the government's "target-driven" education policies for the fact that fewer children are reading for pleasure．
      They believe that a straitjacket（束缚）of strictly organized schooling is containing young people's ability to read more widely．Two-thirds of teachers surveyed said they lacked time in the school day to introduce a variety of books and that this was a "major obstacle to being able to develop a level of reading"．Teachers also cited as main factors the reduction in the number of school librarians，who could put interesting books before children，and the rise in "screen time"，switching children from reading to playing games．
      The majority of teachers said the curriculum's "emphasis on reading as a skill to be mastered" was increasing the pressure，which also came from parents who saw reading as a focus of learning，a skill critical to career advancement in a competitive world．
      There was a real love of reading among teachers，and a strong desire to encourage more children to read for pleasure．However，the teachers also had an overpowering sense of frustration with their situation．"Touch-screen phone and computers are naturally attractive to children，" the survey said，and predicted a period of awkwardness as everyone else adapts．By 2021，children's television will have adopted the presence of this second screen，and it will be strange not to have children，at home drawing along on computers and then having these appearing live in the show．
      The hope is that user-friendly screens could，if material is adapted and downloaded easily，present an opportunity for more ambitious publishing-for example，books children like to read or digital books with moving pictures instead of photos to clarify factual and scientific points．Parental controls that are easy to use would be key．And they should be allowed to shut off access to children in the home
  

  The（1） situation	The change in the number of primary-age pupils who read for pleasure is（2） to that in the number of parents who fail to tell bedtime stories to their children．
  The reasons	The government	Its "target-driven" education policies are to （3） for the fact that fewer children are reading for pleasure．

  	Children	They （9） their attention from reading to the second screen．

第五部分：书面表达（满分25分）

• 32．Some universities have reportedly canceled the men's 5，000-meter race and the women's 3，000-meter race in their sports meetings due to worries that the students couldn't cope with the race．Students' physical conditions are worrying in the nation．
      In ancient China，Confucian culture stressed the values of knowledge and morality and considered people with physical strength uncivilized．Having a strong body was the most obvious distinction between manual workers and civilized intellectuals．
      In today's China，knowledge，which is regarded as the source of productivity，is more highly valued than physical strength．Parents and teachers value clever heads over strong bodies．
      The physical condition of Chinese people has improved a lot since China's reform and opening-up policy in the early 1980s，as nutrition and food are no longer a problem for most people．
      Chinese people should develop the habit of sports exercise starting from childhood．The government and education authorities must create more conditions for the people，especially for students，to do sports regularly．
      A healthy and strong body is a basic guarantee for a healthy life．The health of the whole nation will also have an impact on China's future development．
