Question

【題目】In this influential work about the surprising divide between children and the outdoors, child supporter expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today’s wired generation---he calls it nature-deficit(赤字)----to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.

Last Child in the Woods is the first book to bring together a new and growing body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond---and many are right in our own backyard.

This new edition reflects the great changes that have taken place since the book was originally published. It includes:

·100 actions you can take to create change in your community, school, and family.

·35 discussion points to inspire people of all ages to talk about the importance of nature in their lives.

·A new progress report by the author about the growing Leave No Child Inside movement.

·New and updated research confirming that direct exposure to nature is essential for the physical and emotional health of children and adults

Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder has promoted a national dialogue among educators, health professional, parents, developers and conservationists. This is a book that will change the way you think about the future of your children.

試題分析: 隨著全球工業(yè)化的進(jìn)程，越來(lái)越多的孩子和大自然的接觸變少，引發(fā)了一系列身體和精神問(wèn)題，Last Child in the Woods是一本暗示接觸大自然對(duì)孩子和大人都很重要的一本書(shū)，它或許會(huì)改變我們對(duì)于孩子未來(lái)的思考方式。

【1】D 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段所表達(dá)的意思Louv給出一些實(shí)際的解決方法來(lái)治愈這種破壞了的孩子和大自然的聯(lián)系。故畫(huà)線單詞“bond”的意思是“孩子和自然之間的聯(lián)系”。答案D正確。

【2】A 推理判斷題。通過(guò)文章介紹可看出，這本書(shū)關(guān)注的是孩子們和戶外的關(guān)系，缺乏戶外活動(dòng)讓很多孩子身體和精神不健康，故選A。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“This new edition reflects the great changes that have taken place since the book was originally published. It includes:…下設(shè)的第一條和第四條”可看出新版本增加了實(shí)際的建議和最新的研究，故選D。

【4】B 推理判斷題。通讀全文可看出文章主要介紹一本書(shū)。所以這篇文章最可能來(lái)自于書(shū)評(píng)。
