The Loss of Innocence
Innocence is such a precious gift. It's explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.
The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods.
Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost. It was God's will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.

【解析】本文是一篇議論文，講述了擁有純真以及失去純真的好處與壞處。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的”Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost．“可知作者對于成年后童真的缺失是接受的，認(rèn)為這是正常的過程。故選C。
（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段 中的”O(jiān)ne way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world． And children are blind towards the racial differences of others．“可知童真可以讓世界遠(yuǎn)離仇恨。孩子們對他人沒有種族歧視，如果人一生都有童真的，人類就不會有種族歧視，故選B。
（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的”A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive.“；以及第四段中的”As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angry at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline（減少） in production and quality of needed goods.“可知如何人們一直都保有純真，會失去進(jìn)步的動(dòng)力。故選A。
（4）考查文章結(jié)構(gòu)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy“可知沒有好的教育和生涯，會對經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展有害，人們沒有上進(jìn)心就會使社會失去發(fā)展動(dòng)力。故選A.這篇文章對innocence進(jìn)行了辯論，列舉了innocence如果一直存在帶來的兩方面的好處，然后又論證了不利的方面，所以邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)符合A選項(xiàng)。
