I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.
My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.
To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.
Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better.
What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.
This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it.
4. It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______.
A. memorable B. impressive C. tiring D. bitter
5. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. The author was unhappy about what she was told to do by her parents and teachers.
B. The author was a hardworking student when at high school.
C. The author had no time for other hobbies other than study.
D. The author won a lot of prizes in competitions during high school.
6. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the author’s dormitory life
A. She lived far from her home. B. She learned to do things on her own.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.(当我回忆起我难忘的高中生活时,我感到幸福和印象深刻。)”和第三段第一句话“To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it.(说实话,我的高中生活很累,但我真的很享受。)”可知,作者的高中生活难忘、令人印象深刻又很累,但并不痛苦。故选D项。
【5题详解】

At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.(我的父母和老师一直要求我把学习放在第一位。在那个时候,我早上5:30起床,很晚才睡觉,以便有更多的学习时间来复习我在一天中学到的东西。除了学习,我还参加了一些活动,如英语演讲比赛,书法比赛等。)”可知,作者一直将学习放在第一位,每天五点半起床,很晚才睡,除了学习还要参加英语演讲比赛、书法比赛等活动,说明作者在高中是一个很勤奋的学生。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high.

We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.(更重要的是,宿舍生活也值得一提。由于住在离家很远的地方,我在高中第一学期结束时变得相当独立。我的室友和我作为一个团队每天做一些清洁。我们如同家人一样,在一起生活得很愉快,我的社交能力也逐渐提高了。)”可知,宿舍生活让作者变得独立,团队协作和社交能力也提高了,而住得离家远不是宿舍生活带来的好处。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.(就在六个月前,我告别了高中生活,现在我是一名大学新生。然而,我的高中生活的记忆是如此的新鲜,我觉得好像就在昨天。)”以及全文内容可知,本文作者是一名大学生,在介绍自己刚刚过去的高三生活,文章最有可能出现在一个大学作文网站上。故选C项。
C
Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木丛)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(湿气)of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
8. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
9. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests
A. Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
10. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。热带雨林被称为“世界上最大的药房”,因为超过25%的现代药物是由其植物提炼。热带雨林也享有“地球之肺”的美誉,因其植物的光合作用净化地球空气的能力尤为强大。仅亚马逊热带雨林产生的氧气就占全球氧气总量的1/3。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals.得知,热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。可知,热带雨林有丰富的野生动物,故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.得知,热带雨林有自己完美的生存体系,高大的树木有枝干,树叶的树冠层保护树木本身、小植物、动物们免受大雨和太阳强风带来的干燥热浪的伤害。可知,大树有助于热带雨林生存,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars.得知,科学家们认为这是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让比如毛毛虫这种食用树叶的昆虫难以生存。可以判断出不同树木的树叶和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护,故选C。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先讲述了热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。其次,热带雨林就是地球的肺——它吸纳了大量的二氧化碳,并制造了全球氧气的很大部分。然后,雨林可以自我形成所需降雨的75%,而庞大的热带雨林湿气则可以形成雨云,这些雨云则可以飘往那些缺雨水的国家。可以判断出本文最佳标题是“给予生命的热带雨林”,故选A。

The rate of childhood obesity in the U. S. has tripled over the past 50 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, family-oriented lifestyle and behavior plans. It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to children l2 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older. This advice reflects the organization’s adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.
Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain. Few weight-loss drugs have been approved for children. And surgery has potential risks and few long-term safety data. Furthermore, it’s not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the psychological burden overweight kids face from the society.
Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.
Why is it so hard to get kids moving Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports — as public investment in school-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out. In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers cite increased screen time and a lack of safe places for them to play outside the home. New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019 — a very small amount for its large population. In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youths lived within walking distance of a park.
Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available to the public. These opportunities aren’t primarily about changing children’s waistlines — they’re how we keep childhood healthy and fun.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Childhood obesity is well under control in recent years.
B. Weight-loss surgery are recommended to children 12 and older.
C. AAP plays a more active role in fighting against childhood obesity.
D. Expensive as it is, lifestyle programs are practical for most children.
13. The underlined word “dwindle” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decline B. quit C. increase D. develop
14. In the author’s opinion, what measures should be taken to create more safe areas
A. Prepare fitness equipment at home.
B. Live within walking distance of a park.
C. Promote investment in private athletics.
D. Open up playgrounds when school’s out.
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Sports play an important role in children’s growth.
B. More safe areas for outdoor fun are in urgent need.
C. Family-oriented lifestyles are crucial to children’s health.
D. Medical intervention is important to ease psychological burden.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在过去的50年里,美国儿童肥胖率增加了两倍,美国儿科学会提出的建议难以实现,研究表明多运动有助于身心健康,因此需要投资更多、更安全的地方,让孩子们玩耍运动,文章还分析了孩子运动量减少的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, family-oriented lifestyle and behavior plans. It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to childrenl2 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older. This advice reflects the organization’s adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.(美国儿科学会 (AAP) 今年引起了轰动,它建议医生让年仅两岁的肥胖儿童接受强化的、以家庭为导向的生活方式和行为计划。它还建议为 12 岁及以上的儿童开减肥药,并为 13 岁及以上的青少年开手术。这一建议反映了该组织在儿童肥胖问题上采取了更加积极的立场。)”可知,美国儿科学会在对抗儿童肥胖方面发挥着更加积极的作用。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports — as public investment in school-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out.(专家将问题归咎于体育运动的私有化——随着对学校体育运动的公共投资dwindles,昂贵的私人联赛不断壮大,许多孩子被排除在外。)”可知,许多孩子被排除在运动之外原因之一是对学校体育运动的公共投资下降减少,划线词意义与“decline (减少)”相近。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available to the public. (世界各地的孩子都需要更多玩耍的地方。建设和维护这些区域的公共资金至关重要,但共享使用协议等其他选择可以将未使用的空间提供给公众。)”可知,学校放假时开放操场,可以给孩子们提供玩耍空间,这是创建更多安全区域的措施。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.(美国和具有类似趋势的国家不应该密切关注规模上的数字,而应该关注一个基本事实:我们需要投资于更多、更安全的儿童玩耍场所,让他们可以移动、奔跑、攀爬和跳跃,骑行和滑冰)”和全文可知,文章的主旨大意是迫切需要更多安全的户外娱乐场所。故选B项。

40. doubtful
41. into 42. drinking
43. a 44. to take
45. your
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了喝咖啡的好处,并且在最后指出了不宜多喝,因为喝咖啡也会导致一些健康风险。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:咖啡豆主要有两种,分别是阿拉比卡和罗布斯塔。分析句子结构,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,需用关系代词引导,先行词为coffee beans,指物,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:根据最近发表在《内科医学年鉴》上的一项研究,每天喝三杯咖啡可以延长寿命。分析句子结构,已有谓语动词can lengthen,设空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词research。research和publish为动宾关系,需填过去分词形式。故填published。
【38题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:原因是它可以帮助降低包括心脏病在内的几种主要疾病的死亡风险。分析句子结构,is为系动词,设空处引导表语从句,从句不缺成分,需用连接词that引导。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这项研究对来自11个欧洲国家的50多万人进行了长达16年的跟踪调查。此处陈述过去发生的事情,需用一般过去时。故填followed。
【40题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:然而,有些人对这项研究表示怀疑。be doubtful about为固定短语,意为“对……感到怀疑”。故填doubtful。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一些报告指出,运动前喝咖啡可以提高11%-12%的运动表现。分析句子结构,that引导宾语从句,从句的谓语动词是can improve,设空处需填动名词作主语。故填drinking。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:虽然咖啡对健康有很多好处,而且对很多人来说已经是一个早上的必需品了,但不宜喝太多咖啡。must为可数名词,意为“必须做的事”,此处表示泛指,需用不定冠词修饰,morning发音的第一个音标为辅音音素。需填不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然咖啡对健康有很多好处,而且对很多人来说已经是一个早上的必需品了,但不宜喝太多咖啡。分析句子结构,it is+adj.+to do sth.为固定句型。it为形式主语,设空处 需填动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to take。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:南澳大利亚大学的一项研究警告说,每天喝6杯或更多咖啡会使你患心脏病的风险增加22%。分析句子结构,设空处修饰名词risk,需填形容词性物主代词。故填your。
【点睛】语法填空侧重于考查对于语法的把握,做题时要注意对句法进行分析,找到主句的谓语动词,分清主句和从句,或者看一下设空处需要填谓语动词还是非谓语动词。例如第1小题考查的就是定语从句,分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题中先行词为coffee beans,再分析先行词在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词带到从句中可知,在从句中作主语,并且指物,确定填关系代词which。第2小题,第7小题和第9小题考查的都是非谓语动词,要先找到句子中的谓语动词,因为所有的基本句型只有一个谓语动词,那么就可以确定设空处需填非谓语动词,再根据语法知识和语境判断非谓语动词在句中所作的成分。最后确定非谓语动词的形式是现在分词、过去分词、动词不定式还是动名词。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Sweet Song
"Nothing will ever be the same again," Ally whispered. She sank slowly into her father's favorite chair and stared at the small American flag on his desk. It was the flag which Chief Russell had given to her after the funeral last summer, when he hugged her and told her how proud the Police Department was of her dad's work for them. His tears had warmed Ally's cheeks; her own tears were still frozen inside her heart.
Ally looked at her father's picture on the bookcase. Dad was sitting in the middle of a stream, wet through but grinning proudly. "I miss you, Dad," she said softly. By this time last year she had already taken dozens of pictures. Ever since she could remember, she and Dad had been a team, searching the woods behind the house each weekend for a glimpse of the special wood warbler(林中莺).
Ally reached for the first photo album she and Dad had put together. On the cover a tiny orange bird with blue-gray wings and sharp black eyes peered out of the photo her father had clipped from a local newspaper. Ally smiled, remembering the excited look on his face when he first showed her the pretty bird. "Ally, I bet if we search real hard, we'll see this little guy together some day."
They'd never spotted the warbler, but her father had an amazing way of making each outing seem special. Staying with Dad, Ally felt comfortable. "If only I could get that good feeling back," she thought, sighing.
Staring at the bird, suddenly, she knew exactly what she had to do. Grabbing the-little flag, she placed her camera around her neck and hurried outside. Ally stuck the flag among the flowers in the garden. "Please let me see the warbler," she murmured to herself. She gave her worried Mom a kiss and then set off into the woods.
注意

Familiar smells of the earth rose up to greet her.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Determined to start out the next morning, she was about to head home when a ringing birdsong floated down to her.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Familiar smells of the earth rose up to greet her. Some things never change, Ally thought. Quickening her pace, she hurried to the rock by the stream where she and her father used to sit and eat lunch. She sat on it, with her face toward the sun. Overhead the sky was filled with birds busily diving to gather dried grass to place in their nests. Their sweet songs echoed throughout the woods. Ally felt content for the first time in a long while. She could almost hear her father’s laughter in the gentle breeze as she listened for the sweet song of the special bird. All too soon, the sun disappeared behind thick gray clouds.
Paragraph 2:
Determined to start out again the next morning, she was about to head home when a ringing birdsong floated down to her. It was prettier than any she had heard before. An excited feeling bubbled up inside Ally as she searched the sky. A flash of orange dashed down and rested on a nearby branch. For a moment Ally couldn’t believe her eyes, but it was true. The tiny wood warbler just sat there, looking around, as if it were waiting for something. Ally blinked back tears. “Thanks, Dad,” she whispered slowly lifting her camera and taking careful aim. “Things will be different without you. I’ll always miss our time together, but I feel better now.”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ally的父亲去年去世了,她翻看相册时看到了封面上一只橘黄色的小鸟,想起了父亲第一次给她看这只漂亮的小鸟时脸上激动的表情。她想着要是能把那种美好的感觉找回来就好了,于是她拿起相机动身走进了树林。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“熟悉的泥土气息向她袭来。”可知,第一段可描写Ally进入树林后的事情,她坐在和父亲过去常常坐的岩石上,感到满足。
②由第二段首句内容“她决定第二天早上再出发,正准备回家的时候,传来了一阵鸟鸣的声音。”可知,第二段可描写Ally再次看到了橘黄色的小鸟,觉得很感动,自己会永远怀念和父亲在一起的时光。
2.续写线索:进入森林——回忆过去——离开森林——遇见橘黄色的小鸟——感悟
3.词汇激活

I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.
My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.
To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.
Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better.
What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.
This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it.
4. It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______.

Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木丛)in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(湿气)of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
8. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph
A. They produce oxygen. B. They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed. D. They are rich in wildlife.
9. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests
A. Heavy rains B. Big trees.
C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
10. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D. For the detection of insects.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Weather in Rainforests
D
The rate of childhood obesity in the U. S. has tripled over the past 50 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, family-oriented lifestyle and behavior plans. It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to children l2 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older. This advice reflects the organization’s adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.
Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain. Few weight-loss drugs have been approved for children. And surgery has potential risks and few long-term safety data. Furthermore, it’s not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the psychological burden overweight kids face from the society.
Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.
Why is it so hard to get kids moving Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports — as public investment in school-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out. In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers cite increased screen time and a lack of safe places for them to play outside the home. New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019 — a very small amount for its large population. In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youths lived within walking distance of a park.
Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available to the public. These opportunities aren’t primarily about changing children’s waistlines — they’re how we keep childhood healthy and fun.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Childhood obesity is well under control in recent years.
B. Weight-loss surgery are recommended to children 12 and older.
C. AAP plays a more active role in fighting against childhood obesity.
D. Expensive as it is, lifestyle programs are practical for most children.
13. The underlined word “dwindle” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decline B. quit C. increase D. develop
14. In the author’s opinion, what measures should be taken to create more safe areas
A Prepare fitness equipment at home.
B. Live within walking distance of a park.
C. Promote investment in private athletics.
D. Open up playgrounds when school’s out.
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Sports play an important role in children’s growth.
B. More safe areas for outdoor fun are in urgent need.
C. Family-oriented lifestyles are crucial to children’s health.
D. Medical intervention is important to ease psychological burden.

A Sweet Song
"Nothing will ever be the same again," Ally whispered. She sank slowly into her father's favorite chair and stared at the small American flag on his desk. It was the flag which Chief Russell had given to her after the funeral last summer, when he hugged her and told her how proud the Police Department was of her dad's work for them. His tears had warmed Ally's cheeks; her own tears were still frozen inside her heart.
Ally looked at her father's picture on the bookcase. Dad was sitting in the middle of a stream, wet through but grinning proudly. "I miss you, Dad," she said softly. By this time last year she had already taken dozens of pictures. Ever since she could remember, she and Dad had been a team, searching the woods behind the house each weekend for a glimpse of the special wood warbler(林中莺).
Ally reached for the first photo album she and Dad had put together. On the cover a tiny orange bird with blue-gray wings and sharp black eyes peered out of the photo her father had clipped from a local newspaper. Ally smiled remembering the excited look on his face when he first showed her the pretty bird. "Ally, I bet if we search real hard, we'll see this little guy together some day."
They'd never spotted the warbler, but her father had an amazing way of making each outing seem special. Staying with Dad, Ally felt comfortable. "If only I could get that good feeling back," she thought, sighing.
Staring at the bird, suddenly, she knew exactly what she had to do. Grabbing the-little flag, she placed her camera around her neck and hurried outside. Ally stuck the flag among the flowers in the garden. "Please let me see the warbler," she murmured to herself. She gave her worried Mom a kiss and then set off into the woods.
