6.In this influential work about the surprising divide between children and the outdoors,child supporter expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today's wired generation---he calls it nature-deficit(赤字)----to some of the most disturbing childhood trends,such as the rises in obesity,attention disorders,and depression.
Last Child in the Woods is the first book to bring together a new and growing body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults.More than just raising an alarm,louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond---and many are right in our own backyard.

分析 本文主要講述隨著全球工業(yè)化的進程,越來越多的孩子和大自然的接觸變少,引發(fā)了一系列身體和精神問題,"Last Child in the Woods"(《林間的最后一個孩子》)是一本暗示接觸大自然對孩子和大人都很重要的一本書,它或許會改變我們對于孩子未來的思考方式.
解答 28.D 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第二段所表達的意思可知,Louv給出一些實際的解決方法來治愈這種破壞了的孩子和大自然的聯(lián)系.故畫線單詞"bond"的意思是"孩子和自然之間的聯(lián)系".答案D正確.
29.A 推理判斷題.通過文章介紹可看出,這本書關注的是孩子們和戶外的關系,缺乏戶外活動讓很多孩子身體和精神不健康,故選A.
30.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"This new edition reflects the great changes that have taken place since the book was originally published.It includes:…下設的第一條和第四條"可看出,新版本增加了實際的建議和最新的研究,故選D.
31.B 推理判斷題.通讀全文可看出文章主要介紹一本書.所以這篇文章最可能來自于書評.
點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時,一個常用的方法就是運用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關鍵詞從原文中找到相關的句子,與選項進行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思,又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點.
