A huge fire broke out on 2 September 1666 in London. The fire, known as the Great Fire of London, was the worst fire in the history of London. It burned down more than three quarters of the old city.

At that time, most of the buildings in London were made of wood, so it was easy for the fire to spread quickly. By eight o’clock, three hundred houses were on fire. By Monday, nearly a kilometre of the city was burning along the Thames River. On Tuesday, which was considered the worst day, the fire destroyed many well-known buildings, including the old St Paul’s Cathedral.

Nowadays, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV— they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kid can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.”
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with the three of us kids — my sister, my brother, and me. We were just six,five and three years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license. But anyway, my father was studying for his Ph.D., and he would walk up and down a big hill to and from the campus on a regular basis.
Since I was three years old, I didn’t go to school, but my sister and brother were in school. My father had to walk down the big hill to take them to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing them. On a very cold snowy morning,when they went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats ”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride ”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。如今的孩子们大都迷恋于电视或者电脑而在户外的时间越来越少，他们失去了与大自然亲密接触的机会。在本文中作者提出鼓励孩子有“wild time”，去进行一些户外活动，比如捉迷藏、爬树等等。而且提出这些改变都需要父母的帮助。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kid can do.（他们希望孩子们用至少30分钟看电视或玩电脑游戏的时间来换取在户外玩耍的时间。搭建洞穴、爬树、翻找松果和捉迷藏等活动只是孩子们可以做的一些事情）”可知，作者不鼓励孩子们看电视。故选D项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的主要内容“So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, ‘We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted.’（因此，尽管现在的年轻人成长在一个复杂的世界中，但似乎回归基本，体验“大自然的游乐场”是现代孩子所需要的。 来自“野性计划”的大卫·邦德说：‘我们需要在孩子们的日常生活中为户外时间留出更多的空间，让这一代孩子有机会体验我们许多人认为理所当然的事情。’）”可知，该部分主要是说现在的孩子需要户外活动的时间。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!（这对你，或者我来说可能听起来有点过时，这让你想到穿上靴子，到户外去，重温童年。享受生活没有年龄限制!）”可知，任何年龄的人都可以享受户外时光。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要是说如今的孩子们大都迷恋于电视或者电脑而在户外的时间越来越少，他们失去了与大自然亲密接触的机会。在本文中作者提出鼓励孩子有“wild time”，去进行一些户外活动，比如捉迷藏、爬树等等。所以，用C项“Wild time for children”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选C项。

【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查连词。句意；“因为我一周只需要工作一天。”杰克马上回答。根据句子的意思和上下文语境，回答由why引导特殊疑问句，用because回答，表示“因为”，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Because。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：我知道清洁工每周星期四来上班，因为我只在那一天见到他们。此处表达“在具体某一天”，应用介词on。故填on。

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with the three of us kids — my sister, my brother, and me. We were just six,five and three years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license. But anyway, my father was studying for his Ph.D., and he would walk up and down a big hill to and from the campus on a regular basis.
Since I was three years old, I didn’t go to school, but my sister and brother were in school. My father had to walk down the big hill to take them to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing them. On a very cold snowy morning,when they went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats ”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride ”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy. He said, “That would be great. That’s very kind of you.” Then my sister and brother got into Valerie’s car on the freezing cold day. After expressing their thanks to Valerie, they greeted John with a smile. After a while, a faint flush rose to my brother’s cheeks because of the warm wind in the car, and my sister had a broad smile on her face. Seeing that, Valerie decided to continue the act from then on.
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family. It just started with this small act of offering a ride, and afterwards the relationship between the two families gradually deepened. We kids have been close friends with John. Valerie and my mother also became very close. Valerie and her family tried to help us in other aspects, such as offering us warm clothes we were in urgent need of at that time. And my mother loved to cook Indian food for Valerie’s family. We all believed that our friendship would last forever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者父母和其他印度移民一起从印度来到美国，冬天的时候，天气很冷，作者家没有车和厚衣服。父亲每天都要走下山送哥哥姐姐上学，然后再走上山上大学。后来一个名叫Valerie的女人注意到了作者一家的境遇，于是主动让他们搭便车，两家人也因此成了好朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“听了这话，爸爸高兴地点了点头。”可知，第一段可描写Valerie帮助作者一家的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“后来，Valerie和她的家人成了我们家的至亲。”可知，第二段可描写作者一家和Valerie成为了好朋友。
