Question

【题目】 School playgrounds are supposed to help kids stay active and healthy. But since 2015, toxic（有毒的）chemicals in running tracks have caused many students in several cities, including Shanghai, Beijing and Wuhan, to suffer from nosebleeds, headaches and coughs. It was found that the materials used to build the tracks in these school’s playgrounds contained high levels of toxic chemicals.

On November 1,2018, new standards for the materials used to build playgrounds in primary and middle schools across the country came into effect. The Ministry of Education（MOE）created these standards to protect students’ health.

The standards prohibit（禁止）the use of 18 chemicals for making running tracks, 11 more than the previous standards. The prohibited chemicals are harmful to the skin, eyes and noses and can even cause terrible diseases, China Daily noted.

For the first time, the standards also call for tests of the man-made grass that is used on some playgrounds as some of the materials used to produce man-made grass are highly toxic. Running tracks or patches（片）of man-made grass that does not meet these standards will be changed or removed.

The MOE has taken action in the last few years to keep playgrounds safe. Since 2016, it has invited experts and professionals（专业人员）to test new playgrounds at schools nationwide. The toxic tracks were produced by companies that used waste in order to cut down costs, according to CCTV. The companies and officials who were involved in producing the tracks have been punished.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了教育部施行新的学生操场跑道标准以保护学生身体健康。

【1】细节理解题。A项，流鼻血；B项，头疼；C项，咳嗽；D项，肚子疼。根据第一段第二句“…to suffer from nosebleeds, headaches and coughs”可知，文中没有提到肚子疼。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“On November 1, 2018, new standards for the materials used to build playgrounds in primary and middle schools across the country came into effect.”可知，新标准是2018年11月1号生效的。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Since 2016, it has invited experts and professionals（专业人员）to test new playgrounds at schools nationwide.”可知，此处是通过邀请专家和专业人员对新操场进行检测。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。The schools created these standards to protect students’ health.学校制定了这些标准来保护学生的健康。根据第二段最后一句“The Ministry of Education（MOE）created these standards to protect students’ health.”可知，是教育部创办的标准保护学生健康，故A项表述错误。The prohibited chemicals are harmful to humans according to CCTV. 据中央电视台报道，这些违禁的化学品对人体有害。根据第三段最后一句“The prohibited chemicals are harmful to the skin, eyes and nose and can even cause terrible diseases, China Daily noted.”可知，这是《中国日报》报道的，故B项表述错误。The man-made grass used in some playgrounds is safe.在一些操场上使用的人造草是安全的。根据第四段第一句“For the first time, the standards also call for tests of the manmade grass that is used on some playgrounds,as some of the materials used to produce man-made grass are highly toxic.”可知，人造草含剧毒，故C项表述错误。The toxic tracks were produced by companies that used waste in order to save costs. 这些有毒的跑道是由使用废物的公司生产的，目的是为了节约成本。根据最后一段第三句“The toxic tracks were produced by companies that used waste in order to cut down costs, according to CCTV.”可知，与D项表述一致。故选D。

【5】推理判断题。A项，运动；B项，健康；C项，文化；D项，学习。根据文章主要讲述的是教育部制定学校跑道新标准是为了保护学生健康，所以是与健康有关的话题。故选B。
