    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。

A

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular（土話）—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane（車道）, and explore new ways of living “green”.

Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan （about US $700）.

The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged. 

Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief（擺脫貧困）projects in China.

“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.

1．What is the passage mainly about?

       A．Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.

       B．The increasing awareness of environmental protection.

       C．New trends of life in China’s big cities.

       D．The lifestyle of green collars.

2．Green collars are living green because_______.

       A．they have a large income to use

       B．they refuse to live an unhealthy life

       C．they spend a lot of money and time in the open

       D．they devote themselves to environmental protection

3．Green collars will_______after work.

       A．prefer to be left alone

       B．have fun with old friends

       C．think nothing about work and more

       D．do a lot of extra work at home

4．What ’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?

       A．Appreciative.   B．Doubtful.  C．Negative.  D．Neutral.

5．The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_______.

       C．in a poor state of education     D．in unfavourable conditions

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年四川省資陽市高三第二次高考模擬考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference (干預(yù)) of materialistic influence. We can also term it as “self-raising”. In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child. Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things. Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary, otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her: This brings about a feeling of self-dependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.

This is a natural way of learning. When a child is left to learn in a natural environment, the child’s natural development takes place. Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally. Watching TV, playing video games or joining classes of dance, swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.

Here creativity of their mind is developed. They explore ideas. The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature, so can our kids. So let our children play in the garden, to watch flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and other gifts of nature. In the classes of dance, swimming etc. their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed (壓制). In these classes they are overburdened and can’t train their creativity. So let them play in the open air or garden without any burden instead of joining classes.

Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them. But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them. Their skill to learn and understand comes out. Maybe the process is slow, but it will be their exploration, which will make them self-dependent, and self-capable to learn.

1.In slow parenting, parents ______.

A．set limits to what their children do

B．keep a close watch over their children

C．give the whole directions to what their children do

D．give their children freedom to do what they think proper

2. What is the main advantage of slow parenting according to the passage?

A．Arousing children’s curiosity.

B．Helping children to be independent.

C．Making children interested in exploring nature.

D．Keeping children away from materialistic influence.

3.We can infer from the third paragraph that______.

A．children should join some classes

B．slow parenting should be done in a logical way

C．exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting

D．children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A．Slow parenting and its advantages.

B．Different parenting styles.

C．The requirements of slow parenting.

D．The author’s opinion on slow parenting.
