14.Bicycles,roller skates and skateboards are dangerous.I still have scars (傷疤) on my knees from my childhood run-ins with various wheeled devices.Admittedly,I was a foolish kid,but I'm glad I didn't spend my childhood trapped indoors to protect me from any injury.
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger."But parents can't handle it when teenagers put this theory into practice.And now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adults and their freedom-seeking kids.
Locked indoors,unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends,teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to gossip and socialize with their friends.What they do online often mirrors what they might otherwise do if their mobility weren't so heavily restricted (限制) in the age of helicopter parenting.Social media and smartphones have become so popular in recent years because teens need a place to call their own.They want the freedom to explore their identity and the world around them.Instead of climbing out of windows,they jump online.
As teens have moved online,parents have projected their fears onto the Internet,imagining all the potential dangers that youth might face.
Rather than helping teens develop strategies (策略) to deal with public life and the potential risks of interacting with others,fearful parents have focused on tracking,monitoring and blocking.These approaches don't help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations."Protecting"kids may feel like the right thing to do,but it denies teens the chances of learning as they come of age in a technology-soaked world.
The key to helping youth in the modern digital life isn't more restrictions.It's freedom-plus communication.Urban theorist Jane Jacobs used to argue that the safest neighborhoods were those where communities collectively took interest in and paid attention to what happened on the streets.Safety didn't come from surveillance (監(jiān)視) cameras or keeping everyone indoors but from a collective willingness to watch out for one another and be present as people struggled.The same is true online.
What makes the digital street safe is when teens and adults collectively agree to open their eyes and pay attention,communicate and work together to deal with difficult situations.Teens need the freedom to wander the digital street,but they also need to know that caring adults are behind them and supporting them wherever they go.The first step is to turn off the tracking software.Then ask your kids what they're doing when they're online-and why it's so important to them.

分析 本文主要介紹了青少年由于受到父母過多的保護而不得不在網(wǎng)絡或智能手機中尋找屬于自己的空間,由此呼吁父母不要給孩子們太多限制,從而將孩子鎖在房子中,而應該將孩子從房中放出去,多做些戶外活動以使他們找到自我歸屬感和只屬于自己的空間,從而從外界學到更多的知識.除此之外,父母也要給孩子自己應對網(wǎng)絡風險的機會.

解答 66.B細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段描述小時候在外面玩耍,身上留有很多傷疤,but I'm glad I didn't spend my childhood trapped indoors to protect me from any injury.可見,我經(jīng)常在外面玩耍.
67.D細節(jié)理解題. Social media and smartphones have become so popular in recent years because teens need a place to call their own.告訴我們被關在家里的孩子沒有機會接觸外面的社會和朋友,所以他們需要上網(wǎng)來擁有自己的世界.
68.D細節(jié)理解題. 第三段可以看出Locked indoors,unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends,被關在家里,也不能出去玩耍,說明父母對孩子過分的保護.
69.A細節(jié)理解題.Protecting"kids may feel like the right thing to do,but it denies teens the chances of learning as they come of age in a technology-soaked world.告訴我們父母過分保護孩子可能讓孩子失去很多學習的機會.
70.A歸納推理題.這篇文章主要講述了父母不要把孩子關在家里,要給他們足夠的自由空間,同時也要給他們學會應對網(wǎng)絡風險的機會.

點評 本文屬于科教類的閱讀題材,話題較貼近學生的生活,難度不大.要求考生在答題時能多關注細節(jié),學會帶著問題去找答案,可以事半功倍.

2.Below are some tips for women traveling alone.
Exercise hotel safety
There are many ways you can make a solo stay at a hotel safer.At cheek-in,you might consider asking for a room near the elevator so you won't need to walk down long,potentially ill-lit hallways to reach your room.When filling out guest registration forms,consider using your first initial instead of your name,and skip the"Mrs/Miss/Mr"check box.Additionally,make sure the clerk writes down your room number instead of saying it out loud.This will prevent anyone nearby from knowing where to find you later.
Arrive during the day
Arrive in new cities during the day.Areas around bus and train stations can be scary and/ojr deserted,and small towns tend to shut down early.Veteran solo traveler Mara Rothman of San Francisco notes that plenty of beautiful towns can appear mysterious at night,and locals who are genuinely trying to help you can appear unnecessarily threatening.Arriving during the day means you'll be able to find a place to stay and get to know where you are before dark.
Keep your documents safe
If you choose to wear a money belt,use it for storage and not as a purse.Constantly reaching under your shirt for money draws attention to it,and tends to defeat the purpose.Instead,keep your passport,extra stores of money,and other important documents well hidden,and use a bag or purse for carrying daily spending money.
Dress appropriately
To avoid attracting unwanted attention,dress as conservatively as the women you see around you.This doesn't necessarily mean wearing the traditional dress,as that can sometimes have the opposite result.A good rule of thumb is to dress modestly.Think knee-length or longer skirts.Bare arms,shoulders,and legs are considered risked in some countries,so do the research before you go and once you're there.Note which body parts the local women cover and do the same.
Know when to make friends
Traveling alone doesn't always mean being alone.There are plenty of situations in which seeking out company can make for a safer and more enjoyable experience.Smaller hotels and hostels are great places to find like-minded travelers to explore new places with.In some countries,there are women-only sections in trains and women's waiting rooms at train stations.Sticking close to families on public transportation and in unfamiliar public markets and bazaars is another technique some women use.
Show confidence to a great extent
Whether you're on a street at home or 7,000miles away,walking confidently and with direction is an effective technique for deterring unwanted attention,since appearing lost or confused can make you weak and easily damaged.If you are lost,walk into a shop or restaurant and ask for directions there.Try to avoid obviously looking at maps while you're in the street.Study your route before you go,or find one of those wallet-sized maps that you can carefully palm and refer to secretly.4
Use common sense
Using common sense is perhaps the single best tip for staying safe and having a good time while you,re traveling alone.This category includes the usual recommendations:don't walk around late at night,don't drink with strange men,don't ride in empty compartments on trains,don't compromise safety to save a few bucks on a hotel or transportation,and know how to use a pay phone.

46.The main purpose of the passage is to tell womenB.
A.where to travel alone    
B.how to make a safe and enjoyable trip
C.what to read on travel   
D.how to meet new people when traveling
47.Mara Rothman,s notes are mentioned in order toD.
A.build up her reputation 
B.show admiration for her.
C.compare the experience 
D.make the tip convincing
48.To avoid being damaged,a woman traveling alone shouldD.
A.stay away from the crowds    
B.use a money belt rather than a bag
C.wear the traditional dress     
D.find like-minded travelers for company
49.Which is the safest way for a woman when she gets lost along the wayC?
A.Keeping the important documents well hidden.
B.Looking at maps when she is in the street.
C.Asking the way in a store or in a restaurant.
D.Finding a place to stay and get her bearings before dark.

My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter.I told him to order (28)whatever/what he wanted.The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened.I spoke before he had an opportunity to say anything."This gentleman will have lunch with us today,"I said."Please add his order (29)to our bill."The manager said with a frown(皺眉),"Ok."We turned to our table and the gentleman said,loudly and quickly,"Thank you!"Soon we seated ourselves at the table and upon finishing our meal we (30)were handed our bill.I asked my husband what the gentleman (31)had ordered(order).One fresh orange juice,one coffee,one breakfast combination with a slide of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him,but that very small act just made my day.I hope in some small way we were able to bring some joy into his life,(32)even if it only lasted for a few minutes.

6.Ride sharing startup Zimride is launching a new experimental mobile app called Lyft that will enable drivers and riders to connect in real time,and even watch the drivers drive to the agreed upon pick-up spot via a map on the smartphone.
    Booking a lift via Zimride can be a good choice for a long trip that you schedule in advance.But what about if you want to catch a ride right now?Just turn to the mobile app Lyft!
    The app,only available via invite now,lets potential riders look for available drivers close by and request rides.The riders and drivers can look at each other's profiles and the app is using Facebook Connect for log-in and social security.Once booked,riders can watch their drivers drive to them on a mobile map in real time.Riders pay the driver based on a suggested donation mobile via the app itself (no cash exchange) and Zimride says the rides will be about 30 percent cheaper than a cab.
    The biggest problem with these types of apps will likely be safety issues-riders getting picked up by drivers they don't feel comfortable with.To address some of these concerns,the company says drivers will be investigated via car inspections,background check,personal interviews and DMV record checks.Zimride says its fellow 500 Startups-backed company Task Rabbit advised it on some of these security moves.
    For now the service will only be available during the evening rush hours.Over time,the service will be available 24 hours,says Zimride.San Francisco is rapidly becoming a test bed for these types of next-generation,more efficient,transportation apps,like Scoot Networks and Ridepal.
56.For what purpose did Zimride create the new experimental mobile app?
A.To help to arrange a long trip ahead of time.B.To encourage drivers to make a larger profit.
C.To share information with fellow companies.D.To enable riders to catch a ride in real time.
57.What does the underlined word"profiles"probably mean?A
A.Personal information
B.Self evaluation
C.Specific address
D.Brief comments.
58.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the mobile app Lyft?B
A.Its working system
B.Its safety measures.
C.Its installation
D.Its fellow companies.
59.What do we know about the Lyft service?C
A.It charges riders more money
B.It is not well received at present.
C.It provides efficient transportation
D.It runs twenty hours every day.
60.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?C
A.The author is not confident of the future of the service.

C.Apps like Lyft may be widely used in the next generation.
D.The mobile app Lyft has been put into use nationwide.
