Text 1: On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first signed them up for forest school program, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long Would they stay engaged for that many hours Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly, they stared at me in confusion. They didn’t understand my question, which fittingly removed it.
In this program, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to self- adjust. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school ” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close-a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.

Text 2: If some parts of a body are very sick or damaged,then doctors might need to remove them.Another way doctors can help is to grow new tissue to replace what is sick or damaged.This is called regenerative medicine.
Regenerative medicine sounds like something from a science fiction movie but it is not a new idea.Inside our bones，we have something called “marrow”,which makes our blood and keeps us healthy.Doctors have been giving sick people the bone marrow from other healthy people for the last 30 or 40 years,and this is a kind of regenerative medicine.
Newer developments in regenerative medicine include growing new skin in a laboratory and using it to help people who have been hurt in fires or accidents.Another example of regenerative medicine is a technique developed from studying frogs and mice.When cells are old,like in adults，they can't change what they do in our bodies.For example,a skin cell can't change into an eye cell.But when cells are very young,they can become any cell type.These young cells are called stem cells，and doctors can use them to grow any type of tissue,such as skin,heart or eye.John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka won the 2012 Nobel Prize for their studies in this area.
Professor Fiona Watt,from the Centre of Regenerative Medicine at King's College,London,believes that regenerative medicine is so exciting because many different kinds of experts need to work together.3D printers may be used to print new bones by experts,who need to work closely with university scientists and the surgeons who do the operations in hospitals.
We can not yet grow new arms or legs for people,but the science fiction dream of regenerative medicine may be closer than we think.Perhaps in the future,doctors will be able to grow whole new bodies for us.
1. What's the main idea of the passage
A．How to help very sick or damaged people. B．Regenerative medicine and science fiction.

Text 3: Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter gatherers，small,tightly knit groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction,with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random，Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.

Text 5: Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter，including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台).The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California，including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds，plastic bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' arguments：many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags，which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at，they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement：reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is，the longer its life and the more plastic bag use it cancels out.However，longer lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑) these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.

高考链接 Text 6: With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation (孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law: she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
看，It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
1. What is the text mainly about
A. Lifestyles in different countries. B. Conflicts between generations.
C. A housing problem in Britain. D. A rising trend of living in the UK.

本文遵循“总—分—总”的写作手法。首段综述了一个现象：由于年轻人无法负担独居的费用，且老年人会面临孤独的问题，很多家庭选择多代同住；接着以Nick Bright一家为例，具体介绍了这种现象；最后三段是针对这种现象的一些研究、评价及延伸。答对此道题目的关键在于理解各个段落的大意及关系，并且需要根据段落主题词才能概括出答案选项（D项）的内容。尤其是答案选项中的rising trend，需要根据倒数第二、三段中的各种数据推断而来。
