A.There is a difference between adults and children.B.Allowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.C.The definition of adulthood is quite controversial.D.Parents should introduce politics to their children.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）D（4）A（5）C（6）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述了兒童成熟的速度是不同，所以作者認(rèn)為允許兒童投票的提議并不完全是荒謬的，如果將對(duì)未來50年的英國(guó)政治生活產(chǎn)生影響，16歲的孩子應(yīng)該被授予選舉權(quán)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so I39。d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I39。ve got the county court judgment to prove it.”可知，作者以他的成熟年齡來證明人們?cè)诟鱾€(gè)方面的成熟速度是不一樣的。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Nobody would say that a sixyearold could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything.”沒人說6歲的孩子會(huì)被追究刑事責(zé)任，會(huì)被送上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，會(huì)有同意的能力，會(huì)被賦予任何責(zé)任。由此推斷，人們拒絕David Runciman的提議是因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為孩子在很多方面還不夠成熟，不能被賦予相應(yīng)的責(zé)任。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Runciman39。s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life”可知，Runciman論點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)是，這是重新平衡政治生活的唯一途徑，即政治生活的不平衡導(dǎo)致他提出這個(gè)提議。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的“My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldn39。t cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of preMarx munism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldn39。t mind someone else not having.”可知，孩子反對(duì)私有財(cái)產(chǎn)，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得每個(gè)人需要房子，他們不應(yīng)該花錢買房，此外食物也應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)的，這是一種前馬克思共產(chǎn)主義的想法，由此可推測(cè)孩子更加公平，更期待理想社會(huì)。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes.”可知，給孩子投票權(quán)其實(shí)只是給父母額外投票權(quán)的一種方式，由此推斷作者認(rèn)為給孩子投票權(quán)可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致投票權(quán)的濫用。故選C。 （6）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段“In short: no, sixyearolds should not get the vote。 but while we39。re here, if any votes e up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16yearolds certainly should be enfranchised.”可知，作者認(rèn)為6歲的孩子不應(yīng)該獲得選舉權(quán)，但是如果將來有任何會(huì)影響英國(guó)以及歐盟移民未來50年政治生活的投票出現(xiàn)話，16歲的孩子應(yīng)該被賦予選舉權(quán)，由此可知作者認(rèn)為兒童被賦予選舉權(quán)并不完全是荒謬的。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇社會(huì)類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Even if you39。ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place It39。s hot. From June to September, the temperature can easily surpass the century mark. But that doesn39。t stop hikers from attempting the hiking to the top of the city39。s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is extremely difficult. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you39。re still not stopped, another sign farther up declares: If you39。re halfway through your water, turn around! Unfortunately, many people to not take the warnings seriously. Fortunate y, Scott Cullymore does. The 53yearold Cullymore can be found hiking up and down Camelback a couple of times a day, giving out cold bottles of water to wornout hikers. He has helped hydrate so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by the cruelty of Mother Nature. They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble. he warned. One hiker who was offered water agrees. You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket, said Austin Hill, who was hiking with a high school friend. They were lucky, he said pointing to Cullymore. We ran into this Good Samaritan here. And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about?
