【原文】M: Today’s guest is singer Alisha Ryan, who was the winner of a well-known TV talent show a few years ago. Tell me, Alisha, was becoming a famous singer something you’d always wanted to do?
W: Not really. No. I’d always enjoyed singing, of course, but the idea of becoming a star never occurred to me until I saw Katie Wyatt, who’d been in my class back in my secondary school days, in a talent show. And my brother said I got a better voice than her. I suddenly knew it was something I at least had to try to do.
M: And how did you feel when you first went on live TV, and you had that victory?
W: Well, I didn’t actually sing that well. I was annoyed with myself and I thought my family and friends were a bit disappointed, too. At one point I was convinced I’d lost, so afterwards I was just glad when the scores were announced and it became clear I hadn’t.
M: You did in fact become famous overnight.
W: Yes, I realized that the next morning, when the national press had all the news about me.
M: I imagine they said a lot of nice things.
W: Yes though it was mostly about how I had the right look, how stylish my clothes were and that sort of thing, rather than how I’d actually performed or what they thought of my singing voice.
M: How do you feel about friendships among famous people?
W: I wouldn’t say that exactly. Just remember it’s probably going to end sometime, and when it does you’ll want to go back to those you were close to before you were famous, so don’t lose touch with them.
M: Thank you, Alisha.

Fireflies flash not just for mating (交配), but survival, a new study suggests. Scientists wanted to find out if there’s more to the lightning bug’s signature blinking glow (一閃一閃的亮光) than finding a mate. Some experts had assumed it was a glaring signal to predators (捕食者), like bats, that fireflies taste bad.
To test out whether the glow acted like that, researchers at Boise State University in Idaho put bats and fireflies in front of high-speed cameras. They published their results in Wednesday’s journal Science Advances.
The painstaking experiment required researchers to introduce western bats, which had never seen lightning bugs before, to the insects. Later, they hand-painted firefly bellies black, turning off their night lights but avoiding the holes the insects breathe through. When the bats first saw the unfamiliar lit-up fireflies, they acted excitedly and ate a lot of the bugs, only to get a bad taste in their mouths.“They shake their heads and spit and generally hate their caretakers for giving them such a rude meal,” said study author Jesse Barber, a Boise State biology professor and author of the study. After a few tries, the bats then avoided the glowing fireflies. Despite the popular misconception, bats aren’t blind, a study author noted.
Once the fireflies essentially taught bats that they taste bad, Barber and his colleagues introduced the darkened fireflies. About 40 percent of the painted ones were eaten, while none of the normal fireflies were eaten. Researchers also think the way lightning bugs fly signals what they are. To test that they put fireflies on fishing lines and the bats went after them, despite already knowing that fireflies don’t taste good. The results make sense and are valuable, said Nick Dowdy, a Purdue University researcher in Indiana, who was not involved in the study.
Scientists already knew that fireflies have distinctive flash patterns that tell others who they are and where they are. And some females prefer males that flash at higher rates, according to study co-author Marc Branham of University of Florida. Barber noted that even in their larval (幼蟲) stage, the bugs glow and don’t get eaten. So he theorized that when it comes to evolution, fireflies’ glowing trait (特點(diǎn)) may have developed first as protection from predators and later became a mating signal.
So, Barber said, “Bats may have invented fireflies.”
58. The purpose of the researchers’ study is to see________
A. whether fireflies flash to warn their predators away
B. how fireflies react to high-speed cameras
C. how fireflies flash to attract a mate
D. when fireflies make a bright light
59. Why did the researchers put fireflies on fishing lines?
A. To hide their flashes.
B. To make them fly faster.
C. To make them more energetic.
D. To change their flying patterns.
60. What does Barber mean in the last paragraph?
A. Bats have influenced fireflies’ evolution.
B. Bats and fireflies depend on each other.
C. Bats have similar traits to fireflies.
D. Bats tend to avoid larval fireflies.

這是一篇科普說明文,介紹了科學(xué)家通過實(shí)驗(yàn)研究,得出結(jié)論:螢火蟲這類發(fā)光的蟲子,之所以發(fā)光,不僅僅是為了交配,更多的是為了生存:以發(fā)光的方式告訴捕食者它們并不是很美味。
【58題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段“Some experts had assumed it was a glaring signal to predators (捕食者), like bats, that fireflies taste bad.”可知,一些專家認(rèn)為,發(fā)光是一種信號(hào),向捕食者,比如蝙蝠,暗示它們并不是很美味。為了驗(yàn)證這一觀點(diǎn),科學(xué)家們做了些研究。結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選A項(xiàng)。
【59題詳解】
推理判斷題。由第四段“Researchers also think the way lightning bugs fly signals what they are. To test that they put fireflies on fishing lines and the bats went after them,”可知,研究者也認(rèn)為發(fā)光蟲子飛行的方式暗示了它們的身份。為了驗(yàn)證這個(gè),他們將螢火蟲縛在釣魚線上,后面跟著蝙蝠。由此可以推斷,研究者將螢火蟲縛在魚線上是為了改變它們的飛行方式,迷惑后面的蝙蝠。故選D項(xiàng)。
【60題詳解】
詞義猜測題。由倒數(shù)第二段“Barber noted that even in their larval (幼蟲) stage, the bugs glow and don’t get eaten. So he theorized that when it comes to evolution, fireflies’ glowing trait (特點(diǎn)) may have developed first as protection from predators and later became a mating signal.”可知,Barber注意到,即使在幼蟲期,這些蟲子發(fā)光,就不會(huì)被吃掉。因此他推測,螢火蟲發(fā)光的特點(diǎn)首先作為對(duì)捕食者的防護(hù),后來才發(fā)展成為求偶信號(hào)。也就是說捕食者對(duì)發(fā)光蟲子的進(jìn)化有一定影響。結(jié)合上面的理論,他才說“也許是蝙蝠發(fā)明了螢火蟲?!?br /> 故選A項(xiàng)。
C
You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as automation takes root in one industry after another. But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (無人機(jī)) to herd (放牧) and monitor livestock (牲畜), assuming a job that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have appropriated one of the animal’s effective tools: barking, Radio New Zealand reports. The DJI Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loud speaker, giving the machine the ability to imitate its canine counterparts.
Corey Lambeth, a shepherd on a sheep and beef farm, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves: the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that.” he said. That means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.
Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, monitoring water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.
Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone.“Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see (from the ground). Before using drones, you would (otherwise) have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then say, “Oh, there are no sheep here.”
Farmers all over the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CNN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly over a field in a manned aircraft, the publication reported.
For now, farmers in New Zealand say, some dogs are already learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than enemy. Besides, there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket (插座) every few hours to recharge.
61. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to“_____”.
A. farmers’ order
B. dogs’ barking
C. the call of sheep
D. the sound of loud speakers
62. What’s the advantage of drones according to the farmers?
A. They can be purchased at a low price.
B. They put less stress on livestock.
C. They can do more than one task efficiently.
D. They help them monitor weather conditions.
63. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about?
A. The secret to harvesting healthier grapes.
B. The application of drones in global agriculture.
C. How drones provide less expensive but clearer images.
D. Why manned aircraft are losing appeal for
64. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. drones function normally in extreme weather
B. farmers are troubled by where to charge drones
C. the herding dogs show no enthusiasm to drones
D. drones cannot replace dogs entirely at the moment
【答案】61. B 62. C 63. B 64. D

The outstanding biography — from the same author who brought us Steve Jobs and Einstein —portrays the life of the complicated Renaissance (文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of musical instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian (素食者), who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.
Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius.
Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature, from the proportions of the human body to how the muscles of the lips moved. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.
To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, “he preferred to induce from experiments rather than deduce from theoretical principles,” Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation.
When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, three and a half centuries before the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method.”He goes on:“Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science,” the historian Fritjof Capra wrote. “There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (賜予) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime, or had his notebooks been widely studied soon after his death.”
Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. He also used his observations of nature to make connections among phenomena. A recorder (豎笛) was like a larynx (喉管) in the throat. Here’s Isaacson again: What Leonardo probably began as four distinct elements ended up woven together in a way that illustrates a fundamental theme in his art and science: the interconnectedness of nature, the unity of its patterns, and the similarity between the workings of the human body and those of the earth.
Most importantly, his curiosity-driven explorations, and ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. They helped him think differently, Isaacson argues. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science.
“Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines — arts and sciences, humanities and technology — is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,” Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.
65. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography?
A. His unfinished paintings.
B. His preference for vegetables.
C. His spirit of exploring science.
D. His opposition to formal education.
66. What made da Vinci’s thinking different from others?
A. He was used to skipping school.
B. He kept his childhood’s sense of curiosity.
C. He was filled with ambition to become an artist and inventor.
D. He developed a fascination with historical novels.

【解析】
本文是說明文。文章介紹了熱愛科學(xué)并運(yùn)用科學(xué)方法觀察世界,是達(dá)芬奇成為偉大藝術(shù)家和天才的真正原因。
【65題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius.(艾薩克森解釋道,熱愛科學(xué)并運(yùn)用科學(xué)方法觀察世界,正是達(dá)芬奇成為偉大藝術(shù)家和天才的真正原因)可知,熱愛科學(xué)并運(yùn)用科學(xué)方法觀察世界,正是達(dá)芬奇成為偉大藝術(shù)家和天才的真正原因。由此可知,達(dá)芬奇?zhèn)饔浀牧咙c(diǎn)是他探索科學(xué)的精神。故選C項(xiàng)。
【66題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.(他想知道“大多數(shù)十歲以上的人不再困惑的問題”——例如,啄木鳥的舌頭是如何工作的)可知,?他保持了童年的好奇心。故選B項(xiàng)。
【67題詳解】
邏輯推理題。根據(jù)第五段中That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. ”He goes on: “Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science,(這就是為什么艾薩克森稱達(dá)芬奇是這種科學(xué)方法的典范。他繼續(xù)寫道:“伽利略,比列奧納多晚出生112年,通常被認(rèn)為是第一個(gè)提出這種方法的人,通常被認(rèn)為是現(xiàn)代科學(xué)之父,)可知,艾薩克森在書中提到伽利略是為了說明達(dá)芬奇研究方法的意義。故選D項(xiàng)。
【68題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句子His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and?render?it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time.可知,他對(duì)身體、動(dòng)物、運(yùn)動(dòng)、影子和光線、透視和比例的研究幫助他更好地理解眼前的事物,并且比同時(shí)代的任何人都更準(zhǔn)確、更細(xì)致地將其呈現(xiàn)在藝術(shù)中。所以render譯為“表達(dá),體現(xiàn)”。故選A項(xiàng)。
【69題詳解】
推理判斷題。由最后一段And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.(這本精彩的書是一個(gè)提醒,在一個(gè)越來越狹隘的專業(yè)化和聚焦的時(shí)代,像達(dá)芬奇這樣的文藝復(fù)興人的方法和以往一樣重要)可知,艾薩克森認(rèn)為文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的人們的方法仍然適用于當(dāng)代科學(xué)研究。故選D項(xiàng)。
【70題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中的Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius.(艾薩克森解釋道,熱愛科學(xué)并運(yùn)用科學(xué)方法觀察世界,正是達(dá)芬奇成為偉大藝術(shù)家和天才的真正原因)可知,熱愛科學(xué)并運(yùn)用科學(xué)方法觀察世界,正是達(dá)芬奇成為偉大藝術(shù)家和天才的真正原因。下文對(duì)此進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)介紹。由此可知,C項(xiàng)How Science Shaped His Art(科學(xué)如何塑造他(達(dá)芬奇)的藝術(shù))適合做本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選C項(xiàng)。

Anxiety is a typical human reaction to stress. But too much anxiety can get in the way of living a healthy, happy life. If you feel caught up in your anxiety, try one or a few of the following exercises anytime and anywhere to find relief.
When you’re feeling anxious, you might notice that your heart rate and breathing get a bit faster. First, you should sit in a quiet and comfortable place. Put one of your hands on your chest and the other on your stomach.
Then take a slow and regular breath in through your nose. Watch and sense your hands as you breathe in. The hand on your chest should remain still while the hand on your stomach will move slightly. Breathe out through your mouth slowly. Repeat this process at least 10 times or until you begin to feel relaxed.
If it doesn’t work, try think of your ideal place that you find very calming, happy, peaceful, and safe. Think about how the place would smell, feel, and sound. Envision yourself in that place, enjoying it comfortably.
Once you have a good picture of your “happy place,” close your eyes and take slow and regular breaths through your nose and out of your mouth. Be aware of your breathing and continue focusing on the place you’ve imagined in your mind until you feel your anxiety lifting.
But it can be hard to think clearly when you feel anxious. Sometimes anxious thinking can make us believe harmful thoughts that are untrue or make us do things that make our anxiety worse. Here’s how to avoid so: ask yourself whether endless worry is a problem for you. If the answer is yes, it’s good to be aware of that. Then try different ways such as singing a silly song, , listening to music, reading a book or the like.
Counting is also a simple way to ease your anxiety. When you feel anxiety washing over you, close your eyes and slowly count to 10. If necessary, repeat and count to 20 or an even higher number. Keep counting until you feel ease.
Sometimes this relief occurs quickly, but other times it might take a while. Stay calm and patient. It’s a great tool to use in a crowded or busy space where you can’t do other anxiety exercises.
Choose an anxiety exercise and try it until you’re feeling relaxed. If one exercise doesn’t work, try a different one. But anxiety exercises may not work for those with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). If you have GAD, consult your doctor for more effective treatment options.

【解析】
【分析】
這是一篇議論文。文章主要介紹了幾種緩解焦慮的練習(xí)方法,來幫助人們放松。
【71題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞interfere 根據(jù)第一段“But too much anxiety can get in the way of living a healthy, happy life.”可知,太多的焦慮可能會(huì)阻礙人們過健康而幸福的生活。原文用了get in the way,表格用了固定短語interfere with,與get in the way意思相近,故填interfere。
【72題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞breathing 根據(jù)第三段“Then take a slow and regular breath in through your nose.”可知,你可以通過你的鼻子慢慢地、有規(guī)律地呼吸。這里是建議人們通過呼吸去緩解焦慮。結(jié)合表格,跟在介詞by后,要用動(dòng)名詞,故填breathing。
【73題詳解】
考查名詞responses/reactions 根據(jù)第二段“When you’re feeling anxious, you might notice that your heart rate and breathing get a bit faster.”可知,當(dāng)你焦慮時(shí),你可能會(huì)注意到自己心跳加快,呼吸急促。這些都是焦慮的正常反應(yīng)。再結(jié)合第一段“Anxiety is a typical human reaction to stress.”可知焦慮是人對(duì)壓力的典型反應(yīng)。結(jié)合表格,控制呼吸可以幫助處理一些壓力的反應(yīng),故填reactions或responses。
【74題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞moving 根據(jù)第三段“The hand on your chest should remain still while the hand on your stomach will move slightly.”可知,放在胸部的手不動(dòng),而放在胃部的另一只手輕輕移動(dòng)。結(jié)合表格,這里是with 后面的復(fù)合賓語,手跟移動(dòng)之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故填現(xiàn)在分詞moving。
【75題詳解】
考查名詞details 根據(jù)第四段“Think about how the place would smell, feel, and sound. Envision yourself in that place, enjoying it comfortably.”可知,想象一下這個(gè)地方是什么味道,感覺怎樣,聽起來怎樣。想象自己身在其中,舒適地去享受。所以這里是利用想象來放松,通過想象你所處地方的各種細(xì)節(jié),來沉浸其中,達(dá)到放松效果。故填details。
【76題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞focused/fixed 根據(jù)第五段“Be aware of your breathing and continue focusing on the place you’ve imagined in your mind until you feel your anxiety lifting.”可知,要注意自己的呼吸,關(guān)注點(diǎn)在你所想象的這個(gè)地方,直到自己感到不怎么焦慮了。結(jié)合表格,fix/focus one’s attention on 與原文的focus on剛好意思相近,而且這里是with 后面的復(fù)合賓語,attention與focus或者fix之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故填過去分詞focused或fixed。
【77題詳解】
考查名詞cycle 根據(jù)第六段“Sometimes anxious thinking can make us believe harmful thoughts that are untrue or make us do things that make our anxiety worse.”,有時(shí)焦慮時(shí)的思維會(huì)讓我們相信一些不真實(shí)的想法,或者讓我們?nèi)プ鲆恍┦虑槭棺约焊箲]。這正如一個(gè)惡性循環(huán)。a bad cycle是固定短語,意為惡性循環(huán)。故填cycle。
【78題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞counting 根據(jù)第七段“Counting is also a simple way to ease your anxiety.”可知,數(shù)數(shù)也是一種簡單的緩解焦慮的方法。結(jié)合表格,此處是作介詞by的賓語,需要用動(dòng)名詞形式,故填counting。
【79題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞carry 根據(jù)表格,這是本文推薦的最后一個(gè)方法。所以當(dāng)表格中提到,當(dāng)其他方法不奏效,或者執(zhí)行起來比較難的時(shí)候,可以試試數(shù)數(shù)。carry out意為執(zhí)行,而且此處是跟在動(dòng)詞不定式to后,填動(dòng)詞原形,故填carry。
【80題詳解】
考查副詞less 根據(jù)最后一段“Choose an anxiety exercise and try it until you’re feeling relaxed.”可知,選擇一種焦慮練習(xí)法,試著做,直到你感覺放松了。結(jié)合表格,此處的直到你感覺不怎么焦慮跟原文的感覺放松意思相近。less anxious不怎么焦慮。故填less。
【點(diǎn)睛】解任務(wù)型閱讀既要理解原文,也要理解表格。表格是對(duì)原文結(jié)構(gòu)的一種再梳理,填詞時(shí)要正確定位原文,找到相對(duì)應(yīng)的句子或短語,繼而進(jìn)行短語替換或詞匯的改變或句型的轉(zhuǎn)換。比如第一題,我們找到原文里的get in the way與表格里的短語____ with對(duì)應(yīng),所以我們填interfere with;再比如第三題,表格里要求填控制呼吸可以幫助處理壓力的一些______。我們定位到第二段“When you’re feeling anxious, you might notice that your heart rate and breathing get a bit faster.”可知,當(dāng)你焦慮時(shí),你可能會(huì)注意到自己心跳加快,呼吸急促。這些都是焦慮的正常反應(yīng)。再結(jié)合第一段“Anxiety is a typical human reaction to stress.”可知焦慮是人對(duì)壓力的典型反應(yīng)。所以,這里填reactions或responses。
第五部分:書面表達(dá)(共1小題;滿分25分)
81.請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列材料和圖表,并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。
Campus security has recently attracted wide public attention. In order to ensure the safety of teachers and students, our school prohibits strangers, students’ parents included, from entering the campus at will. This rule has aroused a strong response from parents. For this reason, our school has recently conducted a public opinion survey among students on whether parents should enter campus. The results of the survey are as follows.

【寫作內(nèi)容】
1.用約30個(gè)單詞概括閱讀材料的主要內(nèi)容;
2.用約120個(gè)單詞簡要描述圖中的信息(包括人數(shù)比率、觀點(diǎn)及原因);并就“家長該不該進(jìn)校園”談?wù)勀愕目捶ê屠碛伞?br /> 【寫作要求】
1.可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子;
2.不必寫標(biāo)題;
3.作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱。
【評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)】
概括準(zhǔn)確,語言規(guī)范,內(nèi)容合適,語篇連貫。
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1 (不贊同):
To ensure security, strangers including parents are banned from entering our campus, which has brought about heated discussions among parents. So a survey has been made among the students about whether parents should be included.
According to the survey, 60% of the students think parents should be included because it is a rule everyone should obey. Another 25% subscribe to the view that there is no need for the ban as their beloved parents couldn’t be a danger to anyone. However, the rest think the guards can make a proper decision depending on certain situations.
Personally, I agree with most students. As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” Proper measures should be taken before it’s too late. As for parents, they have some other ways to keep in touch with their children, like making calls or asking for teachers’ help. All in all, campus security calls for everyone’s concern and cooperation.
Possible version 2 (不贊同):
To ensure security, strangers including parents are banned from entering our campus, which has brought about heated discussions among parents. So a survey has been made among the students about whether parents should be included.
According to the survey, 60% of the students think parents should be included because it is a rule everyone should obey. Another 25% subscribe to the view that there is no need for the ban as their beloved parents couldn’t be a danger to anyone. However, the rest think the guards can make a proper decision depending on certain situations.
I agree parents can enter campus according to the actual situation. For example, if parents come to school at the request of their children who need any help, or at the invitation of the school, the head teacher or the subject teacher to exchange information about their children’s learning, then I think the guard should let the parents into campus after contacting the relevant personnel and registering the parents’ identity information.
