Pupils are ordered not to wade into ankle-deep water unless teachers first carry out a full risk assessment and put“proper measures in place”.
Staff are expected to check rivers, ponds and the sea for currents and rocks before allowing children to dip their feet.
Guidance issued to schools warns that any“impromptu (事先无准备的) water-based activities”could pose dangers to children.
The recommendations were outlined in a document-available to all 21,000 schools in England — to help teachers organize more school trips. Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families is intended to cut red tape (官样文章) and give staff practical tips.
But the guidance caused argument after teachers were presented with a series of orders surrounding swimming and the use of minibuses.
It said:“Swimming and padding or otherwise entering the waters of river, canal, sea or lake should never be allowed as an impromptu activity. The pleas of young people to bathe — because it is hot weather, for example, should be resisted where bathing has not been prepared for.”
“In-water activities should take place only when a proper risk assessment has been completed and proper measures put in place to control the risks.”
Teachers are urged to check the weather, currents, weeds, rip tides, river or sea beds and breakwaters before allowing children into the water. No child should be able to swim deeper than waist height, the guidance added.
Margaret Morrissey, from campaign group Parents Outloud, said:“Wading out into the ocean is one thing but there’s nothing wrong with padding where the waves break.”
“Part of children’s learning is to walk along the water’s edge and get your feet wet. There are dangerous currents further out and you stay at the edge.”
She added:“I want to see schools and youth groups taking advantage of opportunities that learning outside the classroom can provide.”
But the Department for Children, Schools and Families said teachers had to plan activities carefully.
“We are not banning padding,”said a spokeswoman.“We have seen cases in the past where things have not been planned and assessed for the risk. Unplanned activities around water can be dangerous.”
67.Guidance issued to schools in England gives the information that _________.
A.school trips to oceans are forbidden in the country
B.school swimming pools should be surrounded with fence
C.school staff must plan water-based activities carefully
D.school children shouldn’t have a walk along river banks
68.Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families shows us that _________.
A.they are strongly against the guidance
B.they are fond of the outline of the guidance
C.they don’t understand the aim of the guidance
D.they want the guidance to become more useful
69.To the guidance, Margaret Morrissey holds the opinion that _________.
A.oceans are dangerous place for children to visit
B.young people should be encouraged to learn outside
C.children should learn padding in rough ocean alone
D.schools should stop students from walking along beaches
70.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A.No padding on school trips, children told.
B.No walking along the rivers, teachers told.
C.No swimming after school, parents told.
D.No learning out of school, students told.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
[1] My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards. She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes(履历表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
[2] What happened?
[3] Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4] Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5] Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job.
[6] Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one. HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7] This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8] That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question: How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market.
[9] Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
[10] Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You _________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
76.What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
____________________________________________________________________________
78. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn’t give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①__________________________________________________________________________
②__________________________________________________________________________
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.

I was in a crowded local in Mumbai. I was lucky to find a seat as I had got in at the first station. Soon, the seats were all 21 ,and most people had to stand.
In the middle of all this, I saw a girl about 10 years old. It was 22 that she was used to the crowd and the pushing, because she would silently change 23 to be just a little bit more comfortable. I felt a little sad sitting there 24 her standing nearby.
It struck me that this is the time to 25 an act of kindness. However, I had to overcome some internal barriers before I 26 an act of kindness. “World I look foolish trying to help her?” I wondered.

But I told myself “Well, 29 you think about it, go the whole way.” So I asked her if she wanted to sit on my 30 for the rest of the train ride. 31 I was a little hesitant while offering it to her, the surprised and 32 look on her face was enough to 33 all my doubts. And then, I began to think—“Why hadn’t I offered it to her even 34 ?” “What was stopping me?” A complete about-face came from my previous thoughts.
35 , the gift of gratitude she had given me was far more that the ‘scat’ I had offered her! It was 36 to say who was doing the giving. She was so considerate as she sat at the sat at the very edge of my knee, 37 half her weight so as not to make my legs hurt. I told her that she could sit comfortably, and I wouldn’t 38 . I got one more pure expression of 39 ! And luckily, I was in the window seat, so the little grill had fun 40 the sights form the window! This simple give and take made the day beautiful!

第二部分:阅读理解(共25小题;每小题2分,满分50分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Ever since she was a baby, Heather, aged 5, has watched her parents regularly turn off lights
that aren’t needed and put the day’s newspapers cans, bottles, jars, and other recyclables into a big, yellow bin — that is, if they can"t find a second life for the discarded items in their own home first. Plastic packaging, pieces of cardboard, scraps of colored paper, bits of yarn, and small pieces of broken toys are typically dropped into a basket that the whole family rummages through whenever they need supplies for an art project. Recently, after spying a bit of shiny paper on the floor, Heather picked it up and said, "This is pretty. I"ll put it in the art basket." Already, like parents, like daughter.
Heather"s effort to recycle a scrap of paper rather than throw it away is a tiny gesture with a big message. It shows that even young children can learn about conserving materials and resources, and by extension, protecting the planet, in age-appropriate ways. It also shows that your child is so tuned in to your ways that it is easy to become an environmental role model. But because children are more apt to want to care for something they have a personal stake in, it"s as important to expose your child to the natural world as it is to teach her ways to protect it.
This doesn"t require week-long camping trips into the wilderness — although those can be fun, enlightening experiences for the whole family. Children can explore, appreciate, and learn about nature literally in their own backyard, in a park, in a community garden, and on trips to the beach or mountains. There"s more good news: Giving your child opportunities to connect with nature can also help her develop crucial literacy, language, math, science, social studies, art, problem-solving, and research skills.
41.The underlined word “discarded” (Paragraph 1) probably means “___________.”
A.waste B.important C.small D.dirty
42.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A.The family is quite poor.
B.The family members don’t waste any money.
C.The parents are proud of saving materials.
D.The parents set an example to the daughter.
43.The text mainly suggests that children___________.
A.love recycling things B.are curious about things
C.can learn to protect nature D.should act the way as their parents
44.What’s the author’s suggestion about introducing a child to the natural world?
A.Going on a camping trip. B.Traveling to the wilderness.
C.Learning from their parents. D.Playing in such places as a park.
I have found that the way I treat insects acts as a reflection of my approach to kindness. Like most kids, I suppose, I mistreated bugs terribly. But many adults continue the rampage against insects, and I have often found that they do this mindlessly.
With the weather getting warmer, more bugs are getting into our houses. We also spend more time in "their house," as we enjoy the great outdoors. We find ourselves reaching for the fly swatter and insecticides(***虫剂)to get rid of them. But why do we do this? Most insects pose no threat to us, but we kill them anyway.
As a young adult, I found myself questioning my treatment of bugs. It became a moral issue. I remember reading a Native American story about a mother who saw her daughter stomp on a spider. The mom simply asks the child: "Now who"ll take care of that spider"s children? Who would take care of you if someone killed me?" It became a powerful lesson to the child.
All creatures have a purpose, and our world would be terribly out of balance without insects. If we can treat them with kindness and respect, we can treat any creature that way. The more I learned about the unique behaviors and purposes of insects, the more I appreciated their place in the world. I have literally become someone who "wouldn"t hurt a fly."
The more I have practiced, the better I"ve become at catching flies with my hand and escorting them back outside. I use a small glass with a thin piece of cardboard to catch spiders, ants, and bees, and release them where they"ll be happier--outdoors. Sure it takes more work than just squishing them, but I feel more in harmony with nature by being kind to bugs. If we could model that for our kids, perhaps they"d grow up to be kinder adults and help make this a kinder world to live in.
49.According to the author, many adults kill bugs ___________.
A.because they hate bugs B.to stop bugs spread diseases
C.just out of their cruelty D.just for no special reason
50.The author mentions a Native American story in the third paragraph in order to___________.
A.tell readers the importance of protecting insects
B.show its deep influence on the author
C.appeal to readers to look after spiders’ children
D.describe American mother’s kindness to insects
51.Suppose a bug appears in the author’s room, he will probably___________.
A.kill it without hesitation B.catch it and free it outside
C.drive it outside tenderly D.let it be and not disturb it
52.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.Showing kindness to insects B.My childhood and insects
C.The significance of insets D.Some tips of treating insects
