Imagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes walk. The problem is that there抯 a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend抯 home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves.
Instead, you have a video conversation with your friend, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You抳e lost out on exercise and time outside, interacting with your neighborhood and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today but it doesn抰 have to be this way.
Tim Gill, the author of Urban Children: Growing Up in a Risky Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows 揺veryday freedom, so children can spread their wings as they grow. 揑t抯 not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places they have to be taken to by adults, says Gill.
揝ociety抯 mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy rather than the environment, health and quality of life, argues Gill, 揧ou won抰 find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It抯 because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.
Tim Gill lists five challenges for urban children in his book: traffic and pollution, high-rise living, crime and social fears, inadequate and unequal access to the city.
Designing cities with young people in mind particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050, around 70 percent of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.
24. Why does the author make an assumption in the first paragraph?
A. To show his doubts. B. To give an example.
C. To present the issue. D. To express his opinion.
25. What problem does the author want to raise about urban children?
A. They have few friends.
B. They spend much time on videos.
C. They are unhealthy for lack of exercise.
D. They lose 揻reedom because of the risky society.
26. What does the underlined word 搕hat in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Low quality of life. B. Lack of public spaces.
C. Improper city planning. D. Criticism on city planners.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Paying attention to young children B. The call for a child-friendly city
C. Challenges for urban children D. Problems in modern cities
C
Imagine that you found a wallet in the street containing a stranger抯 contact details but no cash. Would you go out of your way to return it to its owner? Now imagine that the same wallet contained a few banknotes. Would that change your response? Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world.
In different countries Dr. Cohn抯 research assistants entered public buildings like banks, museums and police stations. They handed in a fake wallet to an employee in the reception area, saying they had found it on the street outside, before making a hurried exit. Each wallet was a see-through plastic card case containing three identical business cards with a unique email address and a fake native抯 name, a shopping list and a key. Most importantly, some wallets also included $13.45, while some had no cash. Then, the team simply waited to see who would email the 搊wner about returning the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money in them were returned more often than those without: 51% compared with 40% for the cashless. While rates of honesty varied greatly between different countries, the difference within individual countries between the two return rates was quite stable around 11 percentage points. In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another ten percentage points) to be returned than those with less, although the 揵ig money experiment was done in only three countries.
With greater temptation (诱惑), then, comes greater honesty — at least when it comes to lost wallets and small cash. Interestingly, though, when Dr. Cohn and his team surveyed a sample of 299 volunteers, most of them predicted that the more money there was in a wallet, the more likely it was that it would be kept.
A certain doubt about the motivation of others is probably good for survival, so the response of the general population may be understandable. But is the warm inner satisfaction coming from 揹oing the right thing also a powerful reason? As this study shows, such thought is real and universal.
28. What does Dr. Cohn抯 research team try to find out?
A. How long it usually takes before a lost wallet is returned.
B. How people of different occupations react to lost wallets.
C. How people behave differently at public and private places.
D. How people respond to lost wallets of varying amounts of cash.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Work division in the team. B. Detailed arrangements.
C. Contents inside the wallets. D. Preparations made in advance.
30. What does Dr. Cohn抯 research find about rates of honesty?
A. They drop with bigger money. B. They vary from country to country.
C. They are quite the same globally. D. They are stable, unrelated to money.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure.
C. A psychology magazine. D. An economy newspaper.
D
People often plan to receive medical exam but don抰, resulting in increasing health care cost. A surprising number of citizens mean to complete tax forms in time but forget to, forcing them to pay unnecessary fines. Many families miss the government deadline to complete financial aid forms, losing out on aid available for child care.
How can policymakers help people follow through on important tasks? They use carrots and sticks: bonuses, late fees, or regulations. These methods can be clumsy, and often aren抰 effective for the situation at hand. Reminding people to form simple plans, however, provides a low-cost, simple, and powerful tool.
燛vidence is growing that providing prompts（提示）, which push people at key times to think through how and when they will follow through, make people more likely to act on tasks of importance. In one early randomized study on tetanus vaccination（破伤风疫苗）rates, for example, a team of social psychologists showed that28%of Oxford University seniors got the shot after being encouraged to review their weekly schedules and to select a possible time to stop by the health center. They were also given a list of times when shots were available and a map showing the health center抯 location. Only3%of the seniors got the shot when simply informed燼bout how effective the shots were.
People who make a plan gain an advantage from their psychological forces. Specifically, they can overcome the tendency to put off as well as the tendency to be overly optimistic about the time it will take to accomplish a task. Imagine Sarah who wants to renew a car insurance, but it will require two hours of travel to and from a garage. Making a plan may lead her to take two hours off and have her responsibilities covered by her colleagues while she is away. Moreover, she will be less likely to underestimate爐he time needed to accomplish the task牀燼 particularly common problem for complex tasks.
People mistakenly believe that their strong intentions are enough to push them to perform desired behaviors. These psychological research results stress the need for policy decisions that encourage plan making and improve social welfare.
32. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A. Heavy burden of daily chores. B. Lack of task management skills.
C. Disappointment of over-ambitions. D. Failure to achieve original intentions.
33. What does the randomized tetanus vaccination study show?
A. People need to think deeply before they act.
B. Specific reminders help people accomplish plans.
C. Awareness of task significance matters in planning.
D. Seniors need encouragement to have vaccination shots.
34. What psychological benefit can people get from making a plan?
A. They are realistic in the time required.
B. They are optimistic about the outcome.
C. They are confident to overcome hardship.
D. They are careful with task arrangements.
35. Who may be the intended readers of this text?
A. Medical staff. B. Government officials.
C. Ordinary people. D. Social psychologists.

71. drawn →drawing 考查非谓语动词。With the physics fitness test drawing near day by day是“with ＋复合宾语”结构，宾语the physics fitness test与宾补动作draw near之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。
72. them →it 考查代词。这里用代词it指代the physics fitness test。
73. that →which 考查定语从句。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
74. give前加上to 考查非谓语动词。be about to do sth.正要做某事。
75. are →were 考查时态。这里是描述过去发生的事，用一般过去式。
76. or →and 考查连词。老师和同学们既安慰我，又鼓励我。故用连词and连接。
77. word →words 考查名词。这里指老师和同学们说过的话，用word的复数形式。
78. fully →full 考查形容词。由于在句中修饰名词preparations，需用fully的形容词形式。
79. 将so删除 考查句法结构。since是从属连词， so是并列连词，不能同时出现在一个句子中。

Imagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes walk. The problem is that there抯 a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend抯 home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves.
Instead, you have a video conversation with your friend, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You抳e lost out on exercise and time outside, interacting with your neighborhood and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today but it doesn抰 have to be this way.
Tim Gill, the author of Urban Children: Growing Up in a Risky Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows 揺veryday freedom, so children can spread their wings as they grow. 揑t抯 not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places they have to be taken to by adults, says Gill.
揝ociety抯 mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy rather than the environment, health and quality of life, argues Gill, 揧ou won抰 find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It抯 because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.
Tim Gill lists five challenges for urban children in his book: traffic and pollution, high-rise living, crime and social fears, inadequate and unequal access to the city.
Designing cities with young people in mind particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050, around 70 percent of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.
24. Why does the author make an assumption in the first paragraph?
A. To show his doubts. B. To give an example.
C. To present the issue. D. To express his opinion.
25. What problem does the author want to raise about urban children?
A. They have few friends.
B. They spend much time on videos.
C. They are unhealthy for lack of exercise.
D. They lose 揻reedom because of the risky society.
26. What does the underlined word 搕hat in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Low quality of life. B. Lack of public spaces.
C. Improper city planning. D. Criticism on city planners.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Paying attention to young children B. The call for a child-friendly city
C. Challenges for urban children D. Problems in modern cities

Imagine that you found a wallet in the street containing a stranger抯 contact details but no cash. Would you go out of your way to return it to its owner? Now imagine that the same wallet contained a few banknotes. Would that change your response? Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world.
In different countries Dr. Cohn抯 research assistants entered public buildings like banks, museums and police stations. They handed in a fake wallet to an employee in the reception area, saying they had found it on the street outside, before making a hurried exit. Each wallet was a see-through plastic card case containing three identical business cards with a unique email address and a fake native抯 name, a shopping list and a key. Most importantly, some wallets also included $13.45, while some had no cash. Then, the team simply waited to see who would email the 搊wner about returning the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money in them were returned more often than those without: 51% compared with 40% for the cashless. While rates of honesty varied greatly between different countries, the difference within individual countries between the two return rates was quite stable around 11 percentage points. In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another ten percentage points) to be returned than those with less, although the 揵ig money experiment was done in only three countries.
With greater temptation (诱惑), then, comes greater honesty — at least when it comes to lost wallets and small cash. Interestingly, though, when Dr. Cohn and his team surveyed a sample of 299 volunteers, most of them predicted that the more money there was in a wallet, the more likely it was that it would be kept.
A certain doubt about the motivation of others is probably good for survival, so the response of the general population may be understandable. But is the warm inner satisfaction coming from 揹oing the right thing also a powerful reason? As this study shows, such thought is real and universal.
28. What does Dr. Cohn抯 research team try to find out?
A. How long it usually takes before a lost wallet is returned.
B. How people of different occupations react to lost wallets.
C. How people behave differently at public and private places.
D. How people respond to lost wallets of varying amounts of cash.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Work division in the team. B. Detailed arrangements.
C. Contents inside the wallets. D. Preparations made in advance.
30. What does Dr. Cohn抯 research find about rates of honesty?
A. They drop with bigger money. B. They vary from country to country.
C. They are quite the same globally. D. They are stable, unrelated to money.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure.
C. A psychology magazine. D. An economy newspaper.
D
People often plan to receive medical exam but don抰, resulting in increasing health care cost. A surprising number of citizens mean to complete tax forms in time but forget to, forcing them to pay unnecessary fines. Many families miss the government deadline to complete financial aid forms, losing out on aid available for child care.
How can policymakers help people follow through on important tasks? They use carrots and sticks: bonuses, late fees, or regulations. These methods can be clumsy, and often aren抰 effective for the situation at hand. Reminding people to form simple plans, however, provides a low-cost, simple, and powerful tool.
燛vidence is growing that providing prompts（提示）, which push people at key times to think through how and when they will follow through, make people more likely to act on tasks of importance. In one early randomized study on tetanus vaccination（破伤风疫苗）rates, for example, a team of social psychologists showed that28%of Oxford University seniors got the shot after being encouraged to review their weekly schedules and to select a possible time to stop by the health center. They were also given a list of times when shots were available and a map showing the health center抯 location. Only3%of the seniors got the shot when simply informed燼bout how effective the shots were.
People who make a plan gain an advantage from their psychological forces. Specifically, they can overcome the tendency to put off as well as the tendency to be overly optimistic about the time it will take to accomplish a task. Imagine Sarah who wants to renew a car insurance, but it will require two hours of travel to and from a garage. Making a plan may lead her to take two hours off and have her responsibilities covered by her colleagues while she is away. Moreover, she will be less likely to underestimate爐he time needed to accomplish the task牀燼 particularly common problem for complex tasks.
People mistakenly believe that their strong intentions are enough to push them to perform desired behaviors. These psychological research results stress the need for policy decisions that encourage plan making and improve social welfare.
32. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A. Heavy burden of daily chores. B. Lack of task management skills.
C. Disappointment of over-ambitions. D. Failure to achieve original intentions.
33. What does the randomized tetanus vaccination study show?
A. People need to think deeply before they act.
B. Specific reminders help people accomplish plans.
C. Awareness of task significance matters in planning.
D. Seniors need encouragement to have vaccination shots.
34. What psychological benefit can people get from making a plan?
A. They are realistic in the time required.
B. They are optimistic about the outcome.
C. They are confident to overcome hardship.
D. They are careful with task arrangements.
35. Who may be the intended readers of this text?
A. Medical staff. B. Government officials.
C. Ordinary people. D. Social psychologists.

73. that →which 考查定语从句。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
74. give前加上to 考查非谓语动词。be about to do sth.正要做某事。
75. are →were 考查时态。这里是描述过去发生的事，用一般过去式。
