请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Children‘s independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a ―sense of place‖. This depends on ― 36 exploration‖, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars. Such children may see more, but they learn less. 37 is it important that children be able to get to 38 areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide 39 play activities in themselves.

The reduction in children‘s freedom may also contribute to a(n) 40 of the sense of local community. As fewer children and adults use the streets as 41 , these streets become less 42 places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have natural community. This in itself may increase 43 associated with attack of children, because there are 44 adults available who know their neighbors‘ children, and who can 45 for their safety.

The extra traffic 46 in transporting children results in increased traffic jams, pollution and accident 47 . As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, 48 contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experienced either the 49 volume of traffic in peak hour during school holidays, or the traffic jam near schools at the end of a school day, will not need 50 about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children‘s 51 of freedom.

As 52 , parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so (e.g. by driving their children to sport, school or recreation) parents may be contributing to a more 53 environment for children generally. The idea that ―streets are for 54 and backyards and playgrounds are for children‖ is a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children 55 the streets if they want to protect their safety.

第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even Canada.

The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in years to come.

People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public institutions, according to the analysis.

The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a ?quality-of-life‘ index highlighting where it is best to be born next year.

In 1988, the US came top of a rank of 50 countries, though has not achieved the top spot since.

The index links the results of subjective life-satisfaction surveys - how happy people say they are - to objective determinants of quality of life across countries.

One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into play - including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of family life.

In total, the index takes into account 11 indicators.

These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly over time such as demography(人口统计学), social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy.
