63。The passage is probably taken from a _________ . A。 magazine 册） C. textbook 【参考答案】60-63 C B D B
Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today。 They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed。 They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难） which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore。At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S．， for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems。 It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow。 Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell。A third department looks at the places where people work,and then reports any company that is breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products。
( )11.The main topic of the passage is________。
A．conditions in the work place B．the freedom of industries in the past

【福建师大附中2013模拟】C
Children’s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them. Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents hardly appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.
These days， in the UK at least， the nature of childhood has changed greatly．Firstly, families are smaller， and there are far more only children. It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn’t time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result， today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home， inside。 More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
so they wouldn’t dream of letting their children play outside by themselves。
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different。 Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情）is that so many ways of playing games are called \"interactive\". The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？ I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same .
64．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first
paragraph？
A．To show who the passage is written for。 B．To gather people's opinions on childhood。 C．To get people’s attention and lead in the topic. D．To compare the childhood lives of two generations。 65．Which is a reason for the changes? A．Families are bigger today.
B．It's too dangerous to play outside。
C．Children play more interactive games. D．Parents worried too much about their children.
66．What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph？
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
A．Young people today shouldn’t play electronic games. B．Computer and video games have replaced the board games. C．Some games that young people play today aren't really good. D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games. 67．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing is ________ 。 A．approving B．objective C．unconcerned
D．optimistic
