More and more people have realized we should do something to help them.The biggest problem is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years. So some children can't remember what their parents look like. When they meet their own troubles, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care.Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children's study is the second biggest problem. From a survey about their study, only two percent of the children get good results, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of them are poor. What a pity!There are also many other problems of the left- behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and too much time on the Internet and so on.In a word, to solve all the problems of the left-behind children needs the government, families and schools to try their best together.5 .Which is the most serious problem of the left-behind children according to the passage?A.They don't study well.B.They are crazy about the Internet.C.They don t want to go to school.D.They can' t get enough love from theirparents.6 .Many people think.A.something should be done to help the left-behind childrenB.the parents of the left-behind children don't care about themC.the government and families should do their bestD.The problem about the left-behind children is hard to solve7 .Which of the following sentences is not TRUE?A.Ten percent of the left-behind children are good at study.8 .The left-behind children can't see the their parents often.C.The left-behind children/s problem is a social problem.D.Many problems of the left-behind children should be dealt with.9 .What is the best title of the article?A.The Left-behind ChildrenB.The Problems of the Left-behind ChildrenC.How to Help the Left-behind ChildrenD.The way to protect the Left-behind ChildrenC“Italy without Sicily does not leave an impression on your soul: here lies the key to everything/' This is what Goethe wrote during his voyage through Italy in 1787. In fact, Sicily is Italy's largest island and at the same time a small world of its own. Typically Italian and yet completely different: contrasts （差另characterize Sicily in many aspects scenic as well as cultural.The sunny island has always been considered a blooming place. It is in spring that Italy's southernmost point shows its best, when countless almond trees turn the island into a sea of flowers. Beautiful lemon trees are to be found all over the island, but most of all on the soil beneath Mount Etna, the landmark of Sicily and the largest volcano of Europe.Windswept bushes and splendid sand dunes in the southeast attract you. Here you will find Sicily's most beautiful sandy beaches -extending for kilometers on end, wide and gentle.In the thinly populated inland, the mountain area with its valleys, streams and plateaus creates an almost mysterious atmosphere; in the mountain villages time seems to have stood still.The islands around Sicily are worth a visit, too: from Sicily you can easily reach the Lipari Islands, for example.As various as the island/s landscape and sights are its people - the Sicilians. The poet Angelo Fiore held that, there were "five million Sicilies", just as many as there are people. In the Sicilian melting pot of cultures you will find elements contributed by the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans, the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the Spanish and the French. Southern Italian hospitality, celebrating colorful, lively festivals and keeping up religious customs are surely among the islanders' characteristics.10 Why are Goethe's words mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To attract us to Sicily.B.To introduce the topic of the text.C.To give us a taste of Goethe's talent.D.To describe Sicily's unique natural sights.11 .How do you understand the underlined phrase a small world of its own"?A.Sicily is separated from the Italian mainland.12 Sicily has unique scenes and cultures.C.Sicily represents Italian cultures.D.Sicily is Italy/s largest island.13 .What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.The friendliness of the Sicilians.B.The festive atmosphere of Sicily.C.The melting pot of cultures of Sicily.D.The different customs of the Sicilians.DExploration is about how we experience the geography. A geography education without actively learning how to explore places is as frustrating as teaching music lessons without sound. Besides that, exploration has the potential to be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things we humans will ever do. It can be good for developing problem-solving, teamwork, social and other vital skills. Therefore, we should be given the opportunities to learn properly how to do it.The sad reality is that millions of children are socially and geographically deprived（录U夺）of the opportunities. Their learning environments lack the diversity of places and experience-based opportunities that they need to develop well and as a result, they will not reach their full potential.There is plenty of research showing that many children have little time and space to explore, play and learn outdoors. Perhaps most shockingly, Dirt is Good conducted a survey which found that three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prisoners, that the amount of time children spend playing in natural places has decreased and that a fifth of children do not play outside on an average day.There are a large number of good and complex reasons why parents do not let their children play （and so learn） outdoors and not overcoming these barriers comes with its own risks. Changing the parenting cultures that are overly limiting many children's freedom will potentially need efforts of generation after generation.Partially as a response to this situation, an increasing number of doctors are providing social prescriptions（处方）.Instead of being offered medicine for mental or physical illness, young patients are being prescribed time with nature, volunteering, doing sports or some other activities instead.Teachers are, in many ways, in a better position to provide time and space for children to benefit from experiences that help them not only to learn, but also to be well. Teachers can spare both formal and informal time and space for exploration that helps not only children who are ill, but also those who are well.14 .What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A.The way to reach full potential.B.The methods of doing exploration.C.The different attitudes to exploration.D.The importance of doing exploration.15 .What can we learn from the survey of Dirt is Good?A.Prisoners in the UK are treated very well.16 Children are badly in need of outdoor time.C.Children are becoming less outgoing nowadays.D.There aren't enough natural places in many countries.14 .What do we know about the process of changing the parenting cultures ?Alt's interesting but tiring.B.lt's complex and risky.C.lt's challenging but worthwhile.D.lt/s troublesome and demanding.15 .What does the author want to say by mentioning social prescriptions?A.Playing outside can promote people/s health.B.Traditional medicines may have side effects.C.Experienced doctors are in short supply.D.Mental illness needs special treatment.七选五：This is the season for giving. Looking to get in touch with your generous side?
