Abut a decade ag, Lawsn was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next t the waves.
“I kept trying t get them t cme back because I thught it was a terrible idea,” he remarked. He wanted them t build their sandcastles clser t the dunes. But they fund it mre exciting t build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destryed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris washed up frm the cean. “It seemed s symblic, smehw, f hw life wrks mre than just building yur perfect sandcastles,” said Lawsn. When he decided t turn that sunny day int a children’s bk, the idea came t just use pictures. “It seemed like it wuld wrk beautifully withut wrds,” he said.
A Day fr Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the secnd wrdless picture bk fr Lawsn and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shp. Leng’s illustratins stay pretty true t real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destryed by a flying hat. “T me it’s a celebratin f childhd and the simple jys f life. These are the things I like t capture,” said Leng.
Leng spent part f her childhd in France, and she was inspired by Eurpean cmic bks “What I lve t d when I illustrate a picture bk is add side stries t the main stryline. I always think abut the readers and the lngevity f the bk, and I want them t be able t discver smething new every time they revisit the bk,” Leng explained.
At the end f the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile int the bus that will take them hme. “Thse last pages are sme f my favrite. They capture that feeling like at the end f the day n the beach, when it’s getting dark and yu feel cmpletely exhausted,” Lawsn said. It must be a universal childhd feeling: happy with sand, sticky frm the salt, ht frm the sun, and ready t fall asleep the mment yu get int the car.
24．Why des Lawsn mentin the scene where the kids built sandcastles?
A. T suggest a way t enjy leisure.B. T remind readers f the childhd.
C. T cnvince us f hw life wrks.D. T tell us the inspiratin fr his bk.
25．What d yu knw abut the tw bks mentined?
A. They are purchased by kids universally.
B. Readers can nly find pictures in them.
C. They carry n elements f cmic bks.
D. The stries are literally wrks f fantasy.
26．Hw des Lawsn feel when telling us the last pages in the last paragraph?
A. Relieved.B. Pleased.C. Disturbed.D. Exhausted.
27．What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Childhd in sandcastlesB. Beautiful childhd memries
C. Ppular illustrated bksD. Explre the mystery f nature
The recent reprts f a 4-year-ld girl n a Shanghai beach have gne viral n scial media platfrms, raising debate abut whether China shuld criminalize neglect(疏于照管) in child supervisin.
The father f the little girl claimed that he left her alne n the beach fr abut 12 minutes t fetch his phne. Hwever, she was nwhere t be fund when he was back. Surveillance (监控) vides shw that she waited fr abut 10 minutes befre walking tward the water’s edge alne, and then disappeared int the water. Tw weeks later, her bdy was discvered abut 100 kilmeters away in neighbring Zhejiang Prvince.
The cre issue in this case is the father’s leaving his yung daughter unattended n the beach, causing her tragic death. Shuld such behavir, when it causes harm t a child, be seen as a criminal act? In an nline survey, mre than 90 percent f respndents insisted that the father be held legally respnsible and face criminal punishments.
Nevertheless, accrding t Liu Chunquan, a lawyer, it may nt satisfy the criteria fr criminal neglect, since the primary fcus f Chinese criminal law is n extreme cases f parental neglect, such as physical abuse and mental ill-treatment. Rarely d legal authrities charge parents; instead, they are just likely t face punishments cnsisting f warnings and fines.
In 2022, a 2-year-ld baby drwned in a cesspl while in the cmpany f his father. The curt ruled shared respnsibility between the father and the cesspl’s wner, with a 7:3 prprtin. The wner was rdered t pay 20,000 yuan t the child’s family. Unluckily, similar cases d exist natinwide. Rughly, 100,000 children lse their lives in accidents annually in China, which is largely due t neglect, such as parents leaving their children unattended, either in lcked cars r at hme. Besides, drwning is nw the main cause f death fr children aged 1 t 14 years ld.
It is n wnder that an increasing number f netizens request that specific laws and regulatins be passed t ensure the safety f children and their well-being. Hpefully, criminalizing child supervisin neglect in China can serve as a warning and precautin.
Hwever, dwnsides f intrducing such legislatin may als emerge. Fr instance, it’s difficult t distinguish between a regrettable accident and criminal neglect s that ver-criminalizatin can arise, in which well-meaning parents making hnest mistakes are charged with a crime.
Therefre, a mre balanced apprach t addressing the issue f child safety shuld invlve a cmbinatin f new legislatin, educatin and supprt services. The ultimate bjective is t prevent similar tragedies in the future. We must recgnize that children are nt nly their parents’ ffspring, but als the natin’s future.
28．What can we infer frm the tragedy f the 4-year-ld girl?
A.The beach in Shanghai shuld nt be pen t small children.
B.Her father’s carelessness and neglect shuld be t blame.
C.Her father has been sentenced t severe punishments by the plice.
D.She wuld have survived if she had nt waited in the water fr a lng time.
29．What are the figures in paragraph 5 intended t prve?
A.Parents’ cnstant mnitring is a must.
B.Kids shuldn’t be allwed t swim alne.
C.Peple can’t be t cncerned abut child safety.
D.Irrespnsible adults cntribute t children’s death.
30．Updated legislatin in child supervisin is in demand fr the fllwing reasns except _______.
A.masses f netizens’ urgent appealsB.parents’ ignrance f ptential dangers
C.frequent ccurrence f such incidents D.the mild punishments in the existing laws
31．What attitude des the authr hld t criminalizing child supervisin neglect in China?
A.Indifferent.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Supprtive.
D yu remember all thse years when scientists argued that smking wuld kill us but the dubters insisted that we didn’t knw fr sure? That the evidence was incnclusive, the science uncertain? That the anti-smking lbby(游说) was ut t destry ur way f life and the gvernment shuld stay ut f the way? Lts f Americans bught that nnsense, and ver three decades, sme 10 millin smkers went t early graves.
There are upsetting parallels tday, as scientists in ne wave after anther try t awaken us t the grwing threat f glbal warming. The latest was a panel frm the Natinal Academy f Sciences, enlisted by the White Huse, t tell us that the Earth’s atmsphere is definitely warming and that the prblem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we shuld get mving t prtect urselves. The president f the Natinal Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key pint in the preface t the panel’s reprt: “Science never has all the answers. But science des prvide us with the best available guide t the future, and it is critical that ur natin and the wrld base imprtant plicies n the best judgments that science can prvide cncerning the future cnsequences f present actins.”
Just as n smking, vices nw cme frm many quarters insisting that the science abut glbal warming is incmplete, that it’s OK t keep puring fumes int the air until we knw fr sure. This is a dangerus game: by the time 100 percent f the evidence is in, it may be t late. With the risks bvius and grwing, a prudent persn wuld take ut an insurance plicy nw.
Frtunately, the White Huse is starting t pay attentin. But it’s bvius that a majrity f the president’s advisers still dn’t take glbal warming seriusly. Instead f a plan f actin, they cntinue t press fr mre research — a classic case f “paralysis by analysis”.
T serve as respnsible stewards f the planet, we must press frward n deeper atmspheric and ceanic research. But research alne is inadequate. If the Administratin wn’t take the legislative initiative, Cngress shuld help t begin fashining cnservatin measures. A bill by Demcratic Senatr Rbert Byrd f West Virginia, which wuld ffer financial supprts fr private industry, is a prmising start. Many see that the cuntry is getting ready t build lts f new pwer plants t meet ur energy needs. If we are ever ging t prtect the atmsphere, it is crucial that thse new plants be envirnmentally sund.
32．What was an argument made by supprters f smking?
A. Anti-smking peple were usually talking nnsense.
B. Peple had the freedm t chse their wn way f life.
C. The number f early deaths f smkers in the past decades was insignificant.
D. There was n scientific evidence f the crrelatin between smking and death.
33．What can science serve as accrding t Bruce Alberts?
A. A prtectr.B. A judge.C. A critic.D. A guide.
34．What des the wrd “prudent” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Cautius.B. Cnfident.C. Respnsible.D. Experienced.
35．Why des the authr assciate the issue f glbal warming with that f smking?
A. Bth f them have turned frm bad t wrse.
B. The utcme f the latter wrsens the frmer.
C. A lessn frm the latter is applicable t the frmer.
D. They bth suffered frm the gvernment’s neglect.
