19、d.“Were going to fight for play.”It is estimated that since the 1980s the average American children have 8 to 12fewer hours of free play time per week.Some of the factors behind the decline havebeen there for decades,others are more recent.Among the key factors are:Parents are unwilling to let their

20、 kids play outside on their own,for fear of injury orother accidents,and organized sports and other structured activities take up a largepart of a childs non-school hours.More hours per week are spent by kids watching TV,playing video games,using theInternet,and communicating on cell phones.More imp

21、ortance is attached to formal learning in preschool,more homework forprimary school students and more pressure from parents on young children to quicklyacquire academic skills.“Parents are more self-conscious and competitive than in the past,”Thompsonsaid.“Theyre pushing their kids to do better than

22、 othersFree play loses out.”But he points out that this option doesnt necessarily breed(培养)creativity and canlead to burnout for good young athletes and frustration for the less skilled.He is alsoconcerned that preschools,in the drive to prepare students for the academic challengesahead,are reducing

23、 the opportunity for group fantasy play and thus reducingchildrens chances to learn on their own about fairness,kindness and other socialinteractions(交往).The consequences are potentially awful,according to Thompson,who points outthat reduced time to play freely with other children is producing a gen

27、ing that children get by playing freely?A.Knowledge about the rules of some sports.B.Skills in playing computer games.C.Motivation to do better than others.D.Opportunities to promote creative thinking.28.According to Thompson,American children will be more _ as a result ofreduced play time.A.competi

28、tiveB.depressedC.hard-workingD.sociableCUnder the impression that if you want to lose weight,you have to eat less?Wellapparently,the solution may not be quite that simple.Instead,some scientists in the UK have been experimenting with ways to trick thebody into feeling full.A government-funded team h

29、as been testing simple foods found on everydayshopping lists.Bread,cheese,milk,soup and sauces can all be developed to cause thebrain to send a brain signal which acts as an appetite suppression(抑制).Peter Wilde,Scientist of UK Institute of Food Research,said,“If you can slowdown the digestion of fat

30、 in the body,the undigested fat goes further down the smallintestine and then it sends a message to the brain to reduce your appetite,so you caneat a normal-sized meal and the digestion is slowed down and then the message goesto your brain to reduce your appetite and you go for longer without being

31、hungry.”The researchers insist that the treated foods will still be entirely natural products,and free from processing.They believe helping people to reduce weight this way is beneficial because itallows them to eat normally.The scientists also think their treatment could be takeninto snacks to make

32、 sure people dont eat too much.The research is still at the experimental stage and it will be at least a year beforetheir techniques can be used in a large scale human trial.29.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.People can lose more weight by eating natural food products.B.Eating less in meals c

33、an make people lose weight.C.Fat people should eat bread and cheese every day.D.Some scientists are doing research into a new way to lose weight.30.How can the new way help people lose weight?A.Make a person lose his or her appetite for food.B.Slow down the digestion of fat and then reduce the appet

35、odC.you dont have to go on a diet when taking the treated foodD.many people have been invited to test the treated food32.The passage most probably is _.A.an official documentB.a news storyC.an advertisementD.a research reportDIt is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without.

36、We livein a consumer society,where there is a huge demand for commercial products of allkinds.Moreover,an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solutionto the problem of mass unemployment.Such an increase needs an abundant and cheapenergy supply.Many people believe that nuclear e

37、nergy is endless and economical.There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy.Firstly,nuclearpower,except for accidents,is clean.A further advantage is that a nuclear powerstation can be run by relatively few technical and managing staff.The nuclear powerstation represents a la

38、rge step in our scientific research and,whatever the anti-nucleargroup says,it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel.However,those who disagree with nuclear energy point out that nuclear powerstations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to the human rac

39、e.Furthermore,it is doubtful whether finally nuclear power is a cheap source of energy.There have,for example,been very costly accidents in America and Russia.Thepossibility of increases in the cost of uranium(铀)and the cost to ensure its safetycould price nuclear power out of the market.In the long

40、 run,environmentalists argue,nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race.Thus,if we wish tosurvive,we cannot afford nuclear energy.Though nuclear energy programs areexpanding,which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumerdemands,it is doubtful whether thi

41、s growth will or can continue.Having weighed up the arguments on both sides,it seems there are good economicand environmental reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.33.According to the passage,an increase in industrial production can.A.ensure the safety of nuclear powerB.overcome the

42、 resource crisisC.solve the pollution problemD.offer more working opportunities34.According to the anti-nuclear group,nuclear energy has the followingdisadvantages EXCEPT that.A.it is a limited source of energyB.it is harmful to the environmentC.it is a danger to the human raceD.it is an expensive s
