traordinary 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.

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(gè)詞,并使用它來描述一個(gè)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(shí)期接觸某些種類的細(xì)菌和潛在的過敏原,以充分發(fā)展其能力。可知,作者在第二段中提到免疫系統(tǒng)是為了幫助理解一個(gè)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(cuò)。在英國(guó),就像在美國(guó)一樣,父母?jìng)冊(cè)?0世紀(jì)80年代和90年代變得更加害怕,因?yàn)橛芯€電視和后來的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓每個(gè)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(hù)孩子,因?yàn)樗麄儞?dān)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(dān)小風(fēng)險(xiǎn)并學(xué)會(huì)掌握小危險(xiǎn)的自由游戲,對(duì)成人社交能力乃至身體能力的發(fā)展至關(guān)重要??芍髡哒J(rèn)為,自由玩??梢蕴岣吆⒆拥倪m應(yīng)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(zhǎng)所需的廣泛經(jīng)驗(yàn),我們正在系統(tǒng)性地阻止他們的成長(zhǎng)。我們應(yīng)該放手,讓他們成長(zhǎng)。由此可知,作者會(huì)同意讓孩子為路做準(zhǔn)備,而不是為孩子準(zhǔn)備路的觀點(diǎn)。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)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(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。7.閱讀理解 Teen Ink Contests Educator of the Year Contest Do you know an outstanding school teacher, coach, librarian, or principal?
