Ⅰ.完形填空
I am a straight-A student and have been my whole life. When you come from a family of educators, it just seems __1__．
With high academic standards and a __2__ spirit, I don't just dislike losing. I can't __3__ it. I need to beat the top students, preferably in everything. I've even got so far as to define myself by my __4__， saying that how __5__ I am. If I don't get the grade I __6__， then I am lost.
Today I was sitting in class trying to make use of the last minutes to study for a test I had to get full marks. When the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen __7__ while still glancing at my study sheet now and then. When I thought the __8__ required it, I smiled, __9__ and agreed. And then I found myself wishing she would be __10__ so I could study. After a while, she said, “You know, you're a really good listener. You're so easy to talk to.” I froze.
I replayed the __11__ in my head before smiling and accepting it gladly. But inside, I knew it wasn't true. She'd made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn't even trying to __12__．
I passed the test excellently despite my worry of lost study time, but the one thing I needed to learn most wasn't on that test. I had __13__ being the best student so that I had failed at just being normal. So what matters to me most? What I have is all about my personal __14__ and about me being too self-centered. There can only be so many scholars, but there is never __15__ sympathy. I want that to be what matters to me—sympathy.

Do you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.
The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.
Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea_of_technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child's play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)？” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage.
Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
21．The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________. A．kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoors
B．parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C．Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods
D．children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 22．According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________． A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over-protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally D．change wild places and creatures for the better
23．According to the author, children's breaking an arm is ________． A．the fault on the part of their parents B．the natural experience in their growing up C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
24．What does “sea of technology” mean in the first paragraph? A．The technology of TV and computer games. B．The technology of food. C．The technology of sea food.
D．The technology of catching animals in the sea.
25．In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________. A．blame children for getting lost in computer games B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C．show his concern about children's lack of experience in nature D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 参考答案
