Question

Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather．But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning．Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:

At the Lake or Pond

●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore．

●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish．

●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes．

●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm．

●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol．Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water．

At the Beach

●Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty．Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides．Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions．

●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over．

●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help．

Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning．

考点：考查日常生活类短文

【名师点睛】

日常生活类阅读解题技巧：

阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下：

1、先题后文：

先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。

2、题干定向：

根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。比如第25小题，题干Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach?当你在沙滩上游泳时哪种行为是正确的？根据Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim parallel（顺行地） to the shore or should tread （踩）water and call for a lifeguard's help. 可知遇到危险的浪要呼救。所以选C。

3、生词模糊：

遇到生词；如无关答题，直接跳过；涉及答题，则根据语境、构词法等猜词。

4、信息补全：

对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全。
