Adventure is in my blood. And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation. I didn't just want a small 1 in the backyard, I started thinking about doing a solo(独自的) 2 somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out the 3 and drew a 1,500-mile route along which I would be 4 from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I 5 my plan with my dad, he 6 as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous 7 from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my 8 for three days, but there was an inner 9 going on. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I really could 10 it. The other part of me was ready to 11 to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another 12 who was quite a bit older than I was. He started his journey alone by 13 at the southern part of Norway and just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of 14 . It encouraged me not to 15 .
As I listened to my 16 artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled(踩踏板)with my feet. There was 17 around me for miles. 18 , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes millions of them. My arms were so dotted with 19 that they looked like a topographical(地形的)map. But, however 20 it would be, nothing could stop my advance on the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

Doing voluntary work is becoming more and more popular nowadays because it benefits the individual volunteer, people in need and our society.
When helping others, we are enriching our lives as well. First, doing voluntary work is our responsibility and duty. Second, we can enlarge our life circles so that we get more chances to learn deeper about the present situation of our society, which is very important to our future development. Last, when doing voluntary work with others, we are improving our ability to cooperate with different people and build up team spirit. As for us students, doing voluntary work is an effective way to participate in social activities. In other words, it gives us the chances to prepare to fit into the society in advance.
Through voluntary work, the living conditions of people in need are improved. For example, lots of children in remote areas don't have access to enough food and clothes, let alone education. Some people donate money and clothes while some volunteers go to these areas to teach these children, bringing them knowledge as well as the latest information of the world. In this way, these children's qualities of life are improved and they'll integrate into the society more easily and get a sense of belonging.
The more voluntary work we do, the more steady and harmonious our society will be. Volunteers spread warmth and care all over the world, strengthening union and trust among citizens. As Ban Ki-moon once said, “Volunteerism is a source of community strength. It can bring positive social change by promoting respect for diversity, equality and the participation of all."

主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式,文章主旨大意题其一个典型的考点。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题:一是看首尾段,根据首尾段内容总结主题思想;二是看每段段首句,根据所有段首句总结主题思想。本文是一篇说明文,说明文一般都会在首段提出文章中心,然后后续段落从不同角度来证明中心。本文也不例外。所以解主旨大意题时,借助文体的特点,也是一种很快的方法。
Bullying(欺凌)at school is a problem around the world. Most schools have. tried to reduce bullying by- making more rules. And many schools even have made their teachers supervise(监督)their students' behavior more strictly But one school in Auckland, New Zealand has done something different. Instead of making more rules for the playground, they reduced the number of rules. What happened? There's less bullying and other injuries.
At Swanson Primary School, during playtime, students can play in the mud, climb trees, ride skateboards, and do many such things that aren't allowed at other schools. If they promise that they do not hurt others and do not make trouble for their classmates, they can do just about anything they want.
“They may accidentally hurt themselves, but that's 0K," the teacher Bruce Mclachlan says. " We want kids to be safe and we look after them, but we end up wrapping(包裹)them in cotton wool when in fact they should be able to fall over. " Because students are able to do almost anything they want, they are happier. And happier students are less interested in making trouble. That makes parents and teachers happy.
Playtime freedom all helps the students learn the dangers of rude behavior. This will help develop the part of their brain that measures risks. This can be helpful when they are older. For example, if a kid does something rude on a skateboard and gets hurt, he or she will be less likely to repeat the rude activity. And if kids learn not to be rude on a skateboard, they are less likely to be hurt later in life when they're driving cars. Safety is important, but as Swanson Primary School has shown, more rules don't always mean more safety.
65.What happened when a school reduced the number of playground rules?
A.Students were out of control completely.
B.Teachers took on more responsibility.
C.Less students were bullied or injured.
D.More parents worried about school bullying.

A.They do not hurt anyone else.
B.They're being strictly supervised.
C.They study carefully in the classroom.
D.They do not make trouble for their teachers.
67.What does Bruce Mclachlan mean by saying “we end up wrapping them in cotton wool” in Paragraph 3?
A.Students get hurt easily.
B.Students are overprotected.
C.Students can't wear what they like.
D.Students are given too much freedom.

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。大多数学校都试图通过制订更多的规则来减少欺凌现象,而奥克兰的一所小学却减少规则,使得欺凌与伤害现象减少了。
65.细节理解题。由文章第一段中的" Instead of making more rules for the playground, they reduced the number of rules. What happened? There's less bullying and other injuries(不是针对在操场上制定更多的规则,他们减少了规则的数量。发生了什么呢?欺凌和伤害减少了)"可知,学校减少了校园规则之后,受到欺凌和其他伤害的学生数量减少了。故选C。
66.细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句的内容“If they promise that they do not hurt others and do not make trouble for their classmates, they can do just about anything they want.”可知,Swanson小学的学生如果承诺不伤害其他人,不给同学制造麻烦,他们几乎就可以做任何他们想做的事情。由此可知,选A。
67.词句猜测题。分析句子结构可知,“ we end up wrapping(包裹)them in cotton wool”的意思是跟“We want. .. them(我们想让孩子安全饼照顾他们)”和“ when in fact... fall over(其实他们应该跌倒)”相反的。由此可知,他们对孩子的保护过头了。wrap sb. in cotton wool意为“娇惯某人,悉心保护某人”。故选B。
68.推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的" Playtime freedom also helps the students learn the dangers of rude behavior. This will help develop the part of their brain that measures risks" 可知,游戏时间的自由也能帮助学生了解粗鲁行为的危害,这将有助于发展他们大脑中测量风险的部分,帮助他们做出安全的决定。故选B。
