In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent mobility went down。 screen time and adultmonitored activities went up. Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical petence. Depriving them of free play prevents their socialemotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned: We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play. They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true. Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation. Besides, there is also a rise in the rate at which teenage girls are admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves. What can we do to change these trends? How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life? We can39。t guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clearcut. Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to bee strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go173。and let them grow.（1）Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?

The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (過敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.“納西姆塔勒布發(fā)明了抗脆弱這個詞，并使用它來描述一個很小但非常重要的系統(tǒng)類別，它從沖擊、挑戰(zhàn)和混亂中獲益。免疫系統(tǒng)就是其中之一:它需要在兒童時期接觸某些種類的細菌和潛在的過敏原，以充分發(fā)展其能力?？芍髡咴诘诙沃刑岬矫庖呦到y(tǒng)是為了幫助理解一個新單詞antifragile。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的”It39。s not the kids39。 fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less.“這不是孩子們的錯。在英國，就像在美國一樣，父母們在20世紀80年代和90年代變得更加害怕，因為有線電視和后來的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓每個人越來越多地暴露在那些現(xiàn)在越來越少發(fā)生的罕見的犯罪和事故面前?？芍?，父母過分保護孩子，因為他們擔心孩子的安全。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的”Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical petence.“然而，讓孩子們自己制定參與規(guī)則、承擔小風險并學會掌握小危險的自由游戲，對成人社交能力乃至身體能力的發(fā)展至關重要?？芍?，作者認為，自由玩?？梢蕴岣吆⒆拥倪m應力。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的”Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to bee strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go173。and let them grow.“然而，我們有充分的理由懷疑，通過剝奪我們天生抗脆弱的孩子成長所需的廣泛經(jīng)驗，我們正在系統(tǒng)性地阻止他們的成長。我們應該放手，讓他們成長。由此可知，作者會同意讓孩子為路做準備，而不是為孩子準備路的觀點。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。10．閱讀理解 How was your day today? If it was just sort of OK, with nothing much happening, then Scott Shaffer wants to hear from you. Mr Shaffer is the editor of the Journal of Mundane Behaviour. We can learn a lot about the way that society works by examining normal patterns of behavior, he says. All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action. The idea that social scientists should study the unmarked, in Mr Shaffer39。s words, has also spread to historians. Traditionally, most history has been written as the story of greatness. It is all about great ideas, great people and great economic and social forces changing the way that millions of people live for ever. Albert Einstein39。s theory of relativity changed the way that we look at the universe. But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really fortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt. In recent years, books of microhistory have been a great success with the public. Most micro historians like to relate their subject to wider developments in society. According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. Supporters pointed out that it could grow cheaply and easily and help feed the poor. Opponents said that this would lead to the poor being more powerful, since they did not have to spend every hour working to feed themselves. It seems that European socialism started with a
