16.The younger generation(一代人),according to a new survey,can hardly remember the last time of climbing trees or flying kites,as they are kept indoors and short of outdoor experiences.
The survey of 1,000people found that the current(現(xiàn)在的)generation of 15-to 34-year-olds have fewer memories(記憶)of 12key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.
The research found that three quarters of the older generation remembered playing games or climbing trees,compared with two thirds of younger adults.
The 55+ generation also had more memories of collecting stones,visiting a farm or pond dipping.Altogether,two thirds of older people had more memories of playing outdoors compared to just over half of the younger generation.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting out-doors enough.
The study has found that 82per cent of people think that schools should provide more outdoor education and most believe nature is still important to children today.
Dr.Mike Clarke,head of the RSPB,said children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get"nature deficit disorder".He said public money should be used to take children on day trips to nature and to build wildlife gardens,especially in poor areas.
"To many people,it would seem clear and unquestionable that an important part of childhood is exploring the world around you.Unfortunately,this is far from the fact and the children are having less time and fewer chances to get close to nature,"he said.
"The RSPB has more than a 40-year history in getting children outdoors and is still continuing to play our role.We now need the government and the schools to realize that they should play the most important role in making it possible for all the children to experience,enjoy and benefit(受益)from the outdoor environment."

分析 本文主要講述了一種社會現(xiàn)象,年輕的一代越來越少接觸大自然了,RSPB在這方面的研究顯示我們需要提供更多的機(jī)會讓孩子們接觸自然,并且RSPB也起到了很重要的作用.
解答 28.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段The survey of 1,000 people found that the current (現(xiàn)在的) generation of 15-to 34-year-olds have fewer memories (記憶) of 12 key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.可知,現(xiàn)在的年輕一代與老一輩人相比,對鄉(xiāng)村活動的記憶更好,所以老一輩人更多的記得鄉(xiāng)村生活,故選B.
29.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第五段中The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting outdoors enough.可知,RSPB進(jìn)行研究是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)現(xiàn)在孩子們室外運(yùn)動的不足,讓孩子們更多的進(jìn)行室外活動,故選C.
30.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get"nature deficit disorder".可知,長期待在室內(nèi)的孩子更容易得"自然缺失癥",故選A.
31.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知,RSPB在建議孩子更多接觸自然方面起著很大的作用,故選D.
點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
