單項選擇題
1、根據(jù)下列材料，請回答題：
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
When it comes to video games and apps, what's a parent to do? On the one hand, we're told about the harm of letting kids play with computer games and gadgets (小器具). On the other, we're attracted by games and apps marketedtd us as "educational".
It's a tricky line to follow. Kids' apps range from "baking" cupcakes to crushing war demons (惡魔)Most of them have some educational aspect--at the very least kids learn what ingredients are used in cupcake baking, and the physics of launching Angry Birds at just the right angle to kill the piggies. That's learning, isn't it?
There lie the vague boundaries. Not all games are educational, and not all are shallow forms of entertainment. In fact, most have some elements of both. The trick is to figure out what we want kids to learn and to experience. To collect them all into one category is to miss out on a huge treasure trove (寶庫)of learning opportunities. Real learnh apps have a set of criteria that qualifies them as educational, sorather than writing them all off as a waste of time, parents can figure out what their kids are exposed to."We don't ever want to separate engagement from the purposes of learning," said Daniel Edelson, Executive Director and Vice President of Educa on and Children's Programs at the National Geographic Society at a cyber-learning conference last week. "When you're engaged with activities that have learning goals, you can connect the dots between engagement and learning. If you use engagement in its broadest possible sense when people are paying attention because of bright lights and activity, then you don't find that connection. "
So should parents feel guilty allowing their kids to play games on mobile devices?
"No," says Dr. Michael Levine of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, which recently released a study called Learning : Is There an App For That. "Kids see their parents using mobile phones all the time. It's only natural for them to want to use them too. And from the data in our study it looks like, many parents are letting their children use them responsibly--with restrictions and in moderation. "

What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．Parents feel confused when choosing video games and apps for children.
B．Parents should prevent children from playing video games and apps.
C．Parents are told about the harm of different computer games and gadgets.
D．Parents are suggested to expose children to educational gantes and apps.


2、Questions are based on the following passage.
        Amid a summer of record-setting heat, a new survey f'mds that most of Generation X's (20世紀60年代到70年代初出生的美國人) young and middle-age adults are tminformed and unconcerned about climate change.
        Only about 5% of Gen Xers, now 32 to 52 years old, are "alarmed" and 18% "concerned" about climate change, reports the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research on Tuesday.         Two-thirds, or 66% , of those surveyed last year said they aren't sure global warming is happening and 10% said they don't believe it's occurring.
        "Most Generation Xers are surprisingly disengaged, dismissive or doubtful about whether global climate change is happening and they don't spend much time worrying about it," said author Jon D.Miller.
        The report comes as several Obama administration officials have recently linked extreme weather to climate change. In a report last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration cited six weather events last year and said that atmospheric changes caused by the burning of fossil fuels made
        Texas' heat wave, for example, 20 times more likely than it would have been in the 1960s.
        The Generation X survey of about 3,000 adults, the fourth in a continuing series, found a small butstatistically significant decline in Gen Xer's attention to climate change. In 2011, 16% said they followed the issue very or moderately closely, down from 2296 in 2009.
        Why are Gen Xere so indifferent? The report, funded by the National Science Foundation, citesclimate change's complexity, pressing economic concerns and "issue fatigue". It finds educated adults tend to be more concerned about the issue. It also finds partisan (黨派的) differences; nearly half ofliberal Democrats were concerned or alarmed compared to zero percent of conservative Republicans.
        Miller said he expected that, given climate change's expected impact on future generations, parents of young children would be more concerned than those without kids.
        "Not so," he said. " Generation X adults without minor children were. slightly more alarmed aboutclimate change than were parents. The difference is small, but it is in the opposite direction than weexpected. "' Miller said the report suggests that while there's broad awareness of climate change, manyGen Xers prefer to focus on more immediate issues such as jobs and schools.
What do we know about the Generation X according to the passage?
A．They are a group of people receiving little education.
B．They don't believe global warming will affect them.
C．They don't care very much about climate change.
D．They never think that climate change will happen.

    With so many of the deaths each year from around the world directly related to poor health choices we make．world health leaders have set a goal of lowering the number of preventable deaths by 25％from 2010 rates by 2025．That would save 37 million lives over 15 years．Reporting in thejournal Lancet，public health experts note that the ways to prevent those deaths area’t surprising．But acting on those strategies will take individual and political will．Here’s how the experts hope to do it．
    Not smoke．The UN General Assembly set a target of cutting smoking around the world by 30%by 2025．Already,higher-income nations that already adopted smoking bans in public places and instituted tobacco taxes have seen drops in smoking rates，however,residents in lower-income nations continue to light up at high rates．
    Limit excessive drinking．While moderate amounts of alcohol have been linked to some health benefits，
overindulging can increase the risk of certain cancers and liver disease，as well as contribute to high blood pressure．Educating people about the risks of excessive drinking，as well as instituting taxes on alcoholic products，has been somewhat successful in curbing(遏制)abuse．
    Cut back on salt．High sodium (鈉)diets can increase blood pressure and contribute to heart disease and stroke，and in many developed countries，people eat several times the amount the salt their bodies need．In the U．S．，the average American consumes about 800mg more salt every day than health experts consider acceptable．Promoting alternatives，such as the citric acid in lemons，to satisfy the need for salt， Call help to bring sodiunl consumption down．
    Get blood pressure under control．Lack of exercise and high sodium diets contribute to hypertension(高血壓)，and uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke and heart disease．Monitoring blood pressure with regular screenings，and treating elevated levels with changes in diet and exercise，or medications if necessary,are the most effective ways to address this risk factor．
    Address diabetes．Closely tied to the obesity epidemic(肥胖病)that now affects developing as well as developed nations，diabetes can increase the risk of heart disease，kidney disease and other conditions that can shorten life．Studies show that lifestyle changes incorporating healthy diets low in sugar and phy’sical activity call be as effective as medications in keeping blood sugar levels in check．
