• 1．We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parts less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet.
     In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself "marketing director from Nature".He recorded his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing，a film which charts the birth of the World Network，a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
  "Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference， "David Bond says.
  "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be a habit for life. " His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now： "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while. "
  Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.
  
  （1）What is the problem with the author's children？

  
  A．They often annoy their neighbours.
  B．They are tired of doing their homework.
  C．They have no friends to play with.
  D．They stay in front of screens for too long.
  （2）How did David Bond advocate（提倡）his idea？

  
  A．By making a documentary film.
  B．By organizing outdoor activities.
  C．By advertising in London media.
  D．By creating a network of friends.
  （3）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Let Children Have Fun.
  B．Young Children Need More Free Time.
  C．Market Nature to Children.
  D．David Bond：A Role Model for Children.

• 2．A few years ago，my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school？Where was she spending her time？My niece was an excellent student，and took part in all kinds of after-class activities.Even so，her mom decided to put a tracking （跟踪） app on her kid's phone.
     At first，this made my sister-in-law "feel better".Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled， "I found out that she was at a place where she said she wasn't.I went out in the middle of the night andI found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. " Things went quickly downhill（每况愈下） for the mother and the daughter after that.
     With 83% of teens having their own smart phones，according to a 2020 Pew study，more and more of their parents are facing the question：To watch or not？
     Ana Homayoun，founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting，has advised many parents and their kids about this. "I've found the tracking app is more acceptable for teens when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them， " she said.
     Mark Bell，a father of a teenage girl，said， "We don't have tracking apps，but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone， " he said.For example，his daughter must "friend（加为好友）" him on social media so that he can read posts，and must share all passwords.
     When you're trying to build trust，you need to create an environment that encourages it.So，to win their trust，you always need to be straight（坦诚的）with your children. "Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them，" said Doctor Pauleh Weigle.If they're not open about it，he warns，it can "greatly damage the parent and child relationship".
  
  （1）What can we infer from the second paragraph？

  
  A．The author's niece sometimes lied to her mother.
  B．The author's niece did worse and worse in her studies.
  C．The author's niece always followed her mother's orders.
  D．The author's niece liked the tracking app on her phone.
  （2）How can Mark Bell's daughter have a smart phone？

  
  A．She ought to earn money to pay for it.
  B．She must follow some ground rules.
  C．She should put a tracking app on her phone.
  D．She has to tell him where she is anytime.
  （3）What is Doctor Pauleh Weigle's opinion about parents using a tracking app？

  
  A．Letting them check their children's phones often.
  B．Teaching their children how to use their phones better.
  C．Telling their children to use their phones less and less.
  D．Making their children know how and when they will watch them.

• 3．Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild，new research suggests.
     Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of "charisma"（魅力） in animals.He wanted to know：What species do people consider charismatic？And what are the influences of being charismatic on populations in the wild？
     In a research published this month，Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 charismatic species.Most of the animals identified as charismatic are large mammals living on land.Coming in first place were tigers，followed by lions，elephants，giraffes，panthers，pandas，cheetahs，polar bears，wolves，and gorillas.However，at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most charismatic species are threatened. It is paradoxical that we haven't been able to protect the species we care about the most.
     The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures，even as they are becoming fewer in the wild.The study suggests that too much of imagery might be creating a "virtual（虚拟的） population" of the animals in peoples' minds，making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
     The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits to protection efforts and informational campaigns （运动）. "That would be not only something fair，but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them，" Courchamp says.It could bring them positive public relation，for example.Besides，if a company's mascot（吉祥物） goes extinct，that could hurt them from a marketing standpoint，Courchamp says.Some companies do take this to heart，he says，noting protection efforts by Jaguar and Lacoste.But not enough companies are "truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on，" he adds.
  
  （1）It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture

  .
  A．leads people to forget the less charismatic animals
  B．makes a false impression of the animals' real situation
  C．raises people's wildlife protection attention and efforts
  D．brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies
  （2）What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．It is important to protect these endangered species.
  B．It is natural to regard the large mammals as charismatic.
  C．It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.
  D．It is strange that people's thoughts contrast with their behaviors.
  （3）Courchamp lists the companies' responsibilities and their advantages by

  .
  A．giving examples
  B．taking quotes
  C．making comparisons
  D．using numbers
  （4）What's Courchamp's attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images？

  
  A．Annoyed.
  B．Supportive.
  C．Dissatisfied.
  D．Positive.
