Ⅱ.阅读七选五
The benefits of walking to school
Encouraging your child to walk to school has many benefits. 8
The rates of childhood obesity (肥胖症) and illnesses such as type Ⅱ Diabetes (糖尿病) can be prevented by a healthy dose of walking. 9 On average around half of all children do not do the minimum one hour a day of physical activity advised by the Health Education Authority.A quick walk to school can help them get their daily exercise and arrive at school or home, refreshed and energetic.
10 There was very strong evidence that walking to school improves children's social development.This related to social contacts, independence and road sense.The walkers reported a happy social experience.It is believed that getting a lift to school each day can lead to a child becoming lethargic (无生气的)．
According to research, the average drive to school and back releases 800g of CO2 into the air. 11 If walking to school once a week can save 20 per cent of CO2 gas produced by driving every day, how much CO2 can be saved a year!
Last but not least, encouraging your child to walk to school will save you money. 12
Since walking to school has so many health, social, environmental and economical benefits, why not let your child walk from now on
A．It is enough to blow over 60 balloons.
B．The following are some of them in different aspects.
C．Walking can have a positive effect on a child's emotional health.
D．You will spend less money on transport fares or petrol, of course.
E．Furthermore, 50 per cent of children still don't regularly walk to school.
F．In fact, walking helps protect the body from many serious illnesses later on in life.
G．Parents, children and teachers are asked to think about the benefits of walking to school.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了步行上学的好处。
8．选B 根据上文及下文列举的例子可知，此处指下面是不同方面的一些好处。故B项(以下是其中一些不同的方面)承上启下，符合语境。
9．选F 根据上文可知，步行有助于预防疾病。故F项(事实上，走路有助于保护身体在以后的生活中免受许多严重疾病的侵袭)承接上文，符合语境。
10．选C 根据下文可知，本段主要讲步行上学不仅给孩子们提供了更丰富的社会经历，还可以提升孩子们的心情。故C项(步行对孩子的情绪健康有积极的影响)适合作本段主旨句。
11．选A 根据上下文可知，此处讲述CO2的排放量。故A项(这足够吹60多个气球)承接上文，符合语境。
12．选D 根据上文可知，此处讲述与经济有关的好处。故D项(当然，你会在交通费或汽油上花更少的钱)符合语境。UNIT 2 课时检测(九) Reading Club(自修课)
