9、You are advised to spend about 25 minutes on Questions 1-14 which refer to Reading Passage 1 belowFINDING THE LOST FREEDOM1. The private car is assumed to have widened our horizons and increased our mobility. When we consider our childrens mobility, they can be driven to more places (and more distan
10、t places) than they could visit without access to a motor vehicle. However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded childrens independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. In recent sur
11、veys, when parents in some cities were asked about their own childhood experiences, the majority remembered having more, or far more, opportunities for going out on their own, compared with their own children today. They had more freedom to explore their own environment.2. Childrens independent acce
12、ss to their local streets may be important for their own personal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a sense of place. This depends on active exploration, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars.
13、(Such children may see more, but they learn less.) Not only is it important that children are able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.3. There are very significant time and money
14、 costs for parents associated with transporting their children to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds.4. The reduction in childrens freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense
15、 of local community. As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This is itself may exacerbate fears associate
16、d with assault and molestation of children, and who can look out for their safety.5. The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollution and accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thus co
17、ntributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experience either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of childrens los
18、s of freedom.6. As individual, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so, (e.g. by driving their children to sport, school) or generally, the idea that streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for childrens a strongly held belief, a
19、nd parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety.7. In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts in Germany, residential streets are now places where cares must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, re
20、sidents are accepting the view that the function of street is not solely to provide mobility for cars. Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of
21、 traffic calming initiatives, aimed at reducing the volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complex 4interactive effects, leading to a sense that children have able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children in many German cities have significantly higher le
22、vels of freedom to travel to places in their own neighborhood or city than children in other cities in the world.8. Modifying cities in order to enhance childrens freedom will not only benefit children. Such cities will become more environmentally sustainable, as well as more sociable and more livab
23、le for all city residents. Perhaps, it will be our concern for our childrens welfare that convinces us that we need to challenge the dominance of the car in our cities.Questions 15Read statement 1-5 which relate to paragraphs 1,2 and 3 of the reading passage.
