1、大学六级-1298 及答案解析(总分:712.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Part Writing(总题数:1,分数:106.00)1.1在报纸上看到一家公司在招聘文秘的广告; 2在表达求职的意愿后,说明自己具备该职位要求的条件; 3希望对方能给予面试的机会,并期盼回复。(分数:106.00)_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数:1,分数:70.00)Smother LoveEvery morning, Leanne Brickland and her sister would bicycle to school with the same words ringing in
2、their ears: “Watch out crossing the road. Dont speak to strangers“. “Mum would stand at the top of the steps and call that out,“ says Brickland, now a primary-school teacher and mother of four from Rotorua, New Zealand. Substitute boxers and thongs for undies (内衣), and the nagging fears that haunt p
3、arents havent really changed. What has altered, dramatically, is the confidence we once had in our childrens ability to fling themselves at life without a grown-up holding their hands. Worry-ridden Parents and Stifled Kids By todays standards, the childhood freedoms Brickland took for granted practi
4、cally verge on parental neglect. Her mother worked, so she and her sister had a key to let themselves in after school and were expected to do their homework and put on the potatoes for dinner. At the familys beach house near Wellington, the two girls, from the age of five or six, would disappear for
5、 hours to play in the lakes and sands. A generation later, Bricklands children are growing up in a world more indulged yet more accustomed to peril. The techno-minded generation of PlayStation kids who can conquer entire armies and rocket through space cant even be trusted to cross the street alone.
6、 “I walked or biked to school for years, but my children dont,“ Briekland admits. “I worry about the road. I worry about strangers. In some ways I think theyre missing out, but I like to be able to see them, to know where they are and What theyre doing.“ Call it smother love, indulged-kid syndrome,
7、parental neurosis (神经病). Even though todays children have the universe at their fingertips thanks to the Internet, their physical boundaries are shrinking at a rapid pace. According to British social scientist Mayer Hillman, a childs play zone has contracted so radically that were producing the huma
8、n equivalent of henhouse chickens-plump from lack of exercise and without the flexibility and initiative of free-range kids of the past. The spirit of our times is no longer the resourceful adventurer Tom Sawyer but rather the worry-ridden dad and his stifled only child in Finding Nemo. In short, ch
9、ild rearing has become an exercise in risk minimization, represented by stories such as the father who refused to allow his daughter on a school picnic to the beach for fear she might drown. While its natural for a parent to want to protect their children from danger, you have to wonder: Have we gon
10、e too far? Parents Wrap Kids up in Cotton Wool A study conducted by Paul Tranter, a lecturer in geography at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, showed that while Australian and New Zealand children had similar amounts of unsupervised freedom, it was far less than German or English kid
11、s. For example, only a third of ten-year-olds in Australia and New Zealand were allowed to visit places other than school alone, compared to 80 percent in Germany. Girls were even more restricted than boys, with parents fearing assault or molestation (骚扰),while traffic dangers were seen as the great
12、est threat to boys. Bike ownership has doubled in a generation, but “independent mobility“-the ability to roam and explore unsupervised-has radically declined. In Auckland, for example, many primary schools have done away with bicycle racks because the streets are considered too unsafe. And in Chris
13、tchurch, New Zealands most bike-friendly city, the number of pupils cycling to school has fallen from more than 90 percent in the late 1970s to less than 20 percent. Safely strapped into the family 44, children are instead driven from home to the school gate, then off to ballet, soccer or swimming l
14、essons-rarely straying from watchful adult eyes. In the U.S. Journal of Physical Education, Recreation Dance, New Jersey assistant principal and hockey coach Bobbie Schultz writes that playing in the street after school with neighbourhood kids-creating their own rules, making their own decisions and
15、 settling disputes-was where the real learning took place. “The street was one of the greatest sources of my life skills,“ she says. “I dont see on-the-street play anymore. I see adult-organized activities. Parents dont realize what an integral part of character development their children are missin
16、g.“ Armoured with bicycle helmets, car seats, “safe“ playgrounds and sunscreen, children are getting the message loud and clear that the world is full of peril-and that theyre ill-equipped to handle it alone. Yet research consistently shows young people are much more capable than we think, says prof
17、essor Anne Smith, director of New Zealands Childrens Issues Centre. “The thing that many adults have difficulty with is that children cant learn to be grown-up if theyre excluded and protected all the time.“ Educational psychologist Paul Prangley reckons its about time the kid gloves came off. He be
18、lieves parenting has taken on a paranoid (患妄想狂的) edge thats creating a generation of naive, insecure youngsters who are subconsciously being taught theyre incapable of handling things by themselves. “Flexibility and the ability to resist pressure and temptation are learned skills,“ Prangley explains
19、. “If you wrap kids up in cotton wool and dont give them the opportunity to take risks, theyre less equipped to make responsible decisions later in life.“ Parents Should Gain Proper Perspective Sadly, high-profile cases of children being kidnapped and murdered-such as ten-year-old Holly Wells and Je
20、ssica Chapman in the United Kingdom; five-year-old Chloe Hoson in Australia, whose body was found just 200 metres from where she lived; and six-year-old Teresa Cormack in New Zealand, who was snatched off the street on her way to school-only serve to reinforce parents fears. Teresa Cormacks death, f
21、or example, was one of the rare New Zealand eases of random child kidnap. In Australia, the odds of someone under the age of 15 being murdered by a stranger have been estimated at one in four million. A child is at far greater risk from a family member or someone they know. However, parental fear is
22、 contagious. In one British study, far more children feared an attack by a stranger than being hit by a car. “We are losing our sense of perspective,“ write Jan Parker and Jan Stimpson in their parenting book, Raising Happy Children. “Every parent has to negotiate their own route between equipping c
23、hildren with the skills they need to stay safe and not restricting or terrifying them unnecessarily in the process.“ Dr. Claire Freeman, a planning expert at the University of Otago, points to the erosion of community responsibility as another casualty of that mutual distrust. Not so long ago, adult
24、s knew all the local kids and were the informal guardians of the neighbourhood. “Now, particularly if you are a man, you may hesitate to offer help to a lost child for fear your motives might be questioned.“ More Space and More Attention to Kids Needs As a planner in the mid-1990s, Freeman became co
