二、阅读理解
A campaign (活动) is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
The Wild Network—a collaboration (合作) of nearly 2,000 organisations—is attempting to attract youngsters away from the television and computer screen and to fields, woods and parks. Members of the network include the National Trust, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Play England and the National Health Service (NHS) sustainable development unit. Organisers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness (机敏) and general well being.
A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, which forecast the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK also looked at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.
Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said, “The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming (漫步) ranges have fallen largely, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers (七叶树果), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colours on trees.
The network also aims to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.
This is not the first time the message of “less screen, more play” has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were requested to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set and go to do something less boring instead”.
1. What does the underlined word “surrender” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Give up. B. Get around. C. Take up. D. Run away.
2. For what purpose is the Wild Network organised
A. To make children read more books.
B. To help children tell the natural world.
C. To encourage children to take part in outdoor activities.
D. To get children out of too much homework from school.
3. “Less screen, more play” was first put forward by ________.
A. Wild Network B. the BBC C. the National Trust D. Play England
4. What can we infer from the passage
A. The government will play an important role. B. Children have already been close to nature.
C. Politicians have controlled the campaign. D. TV viewers will turn away from television.

二、阅读理解
A campaign (活动) is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
The Wild Network—a collaboration (合作) of nearly 2,000 organisations—is attempting to attract youngsters away from the television and computer screen and to fields, woods and parks. Members of the network include the National Trust, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Play England and the National Health Service (NHS) sustainable development unit. Organisers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness (机敏) and general well being.
A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, which forecast the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK also looked at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.
Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said, “The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation. Time spent outdoors is down, roaming (漫步) ranges have fallen largely, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers (七叶树果), camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colours on trees.
The network also aims to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.
This is not the first time the message of “less screen, more play” has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were requested to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set and go to do something less boring instead”.
1. What does the underlined word “surrender” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Give up. B. Get around. C. Take up. D. Run away.
2. For what purpose is the Wild Network organised
A. To make children read more books.
B. To help children tell the natural world.
C. To encourage children to take part in outdoor activities.
D. To get children out of too much homework from school.
3. “Less screen, more play” was first put forward by ________.
A. Wild Network B. the BBC C. the National Trust D. Play England
4. What can we infer from the passage
A. The government will play an important role. B. Children have already been close to nature.
C. Politicians have controlled the campaign. D. TV viewers will turn away from television.
