阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being, although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge with the safety of the students.
The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time. They want to do everything. They watch on TV and never think at the consequences, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher.
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.
When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper.
And many times. the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to.
However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child.
All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.
1.The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______.
A. teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe
B. show solutions to developing children’s character
C. explain the main reason for violence acts in schools
D. analyze an education problem and give opinions
2. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Classes
B. Who is to Blame. Parents or Schools?
C. Which is Better, School Study or Home Study
D. The Relationship between Teachers and Children
3.Parents prefer to have their children educated at home because the following EXCEPT that
A. More and more violence acts occur in schools
B. Parents want to improve their children's grades
C. Parents are concerned about their children’s safety
D. The education system is far from satisfactory
4.What does“a crystal ball”in the passage refer to?
A. A toy that can be used for entertainment.
B. A safe and comfortable environment.
C. An object that is made of crystal.
D. A setback that is hard to overcome.
5.We call infer from the passage that ______.
A. violence TV programs have bad effects on children’s behavior
B. the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school
C. children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong
D. there are too many students in class for a teacher to teach

Today，we are told，children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air．Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world．They have lost touch with nature．But now 400 organizations in the UK，from playgroups to the National Health Service，are encouraging children to have some “wild time”．They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time to play outside．Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city，they can go on adventures in the garden or the park．
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad．They need to be shown what to do and where to go．Andy Simpson from National Health Service says，“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development，independence and creativity，by giving wild time”．
So in spite of the complicated world that young people grow up in now，it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need．David Bond from Project Wild Thing says，“We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”．
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe，like me，and it has made you think about putting on your boots, getting outdoors and recalling your childhood．There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!

A. Adventures of children

Thousands of hungry birds left the countryside of Britain in the bitter winter to find food and warmth in urban gardens. The move included species such as the redwing and the fieldfare, almost unknown outside rural areas
The hard situation of farmland birds has been revealed in the latest survey of bird populations from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds released today.
The redwing has an obvious stripe over the eye and a red flash on the flanks (侧翼), while the fieldfare has a grey head, a peach under?belly, and a distinctive dark band on the tail.
Graham Madge, the society's spokesman, says, “For many urban birdwatchers the sight of these striking species is a real treat. Many people have never imagined there being such an amazing chance.”
“Frozen ground prevented them from getting food in the countryside and they have been saved from starvation in towns，” he added.
He says the unusual sight this year somewhat tempered the frustration felt at the suffering of small garden birds such as robins and wrens. These birds are sensitive to cold and must eat almost continuously to stay alive. Data from people who took part in the society's Big Garden Birdwatch recorded sightings in 280，000 gardens during the last weekend of January, with the goldcrest down 75 percent, the long?tailed tit down 27 percent, and the coal tit down 20 percent. The study highlighted the need for food to be left out for birds during winter.
The redwing and the fieldfare are relatively unknown outside the eastern part of the country. The research shows, however, that they moved to the other side of the country where the climate is generally mild in winter and that many for the first time have reached Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. The number of redwing sightings was up 185 percent, those of the fieldfare 73, and of the yellowhammer 68.
Another surprise garden “guest” this year was the blackcap. This robin?sized, silver?grey bird was rare in Britain 50 years ago, but increasing numbers now arrive each year from Germany and Austria.
1.How did the urban birdwatchers probably feel when seeing the hungry birds?
A. Excited. B. Worried.
C. Annoyed. D. Motivated.
2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “tempered”？
A. Prevented. B. Relieved.
C. Explained. D. Increased.
3.According to the passage, Cornwall is perhaps ________．
A. a village in eastern Britain
B. a city in western Britain
C. a village in western Britain
D. a city in eastern Britain
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The tough living conditions of some British birds.
B. The various species of Britain's garden birds.
C. The changes of some bird's population in Britain.
D. Unusual bird visitors in Britain's urban gardens.
