　　Part I Writing
　　Overseas Study at an Early Age
　　Nowadays, more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever cost.
　　It is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study. With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too.

　　Consequently, pursuing overseas study has become a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study.
　　As for me, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor beneficial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own .
　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning).
　　1. Y 根据题干中的信息词bird flu和major cities定位到第一个小标题下的第一段，可知作者认为主要城市还会遭受袭击，因为有很多灾难可能发生，包括禽流感、大地震、暴风雨、恐怖袭击等，再结合全文可知，本文是针对美国城市展开的，故该句表述正确。
　　2. NG 根据题干中的信息词assessment和high-risk urban areas定位到第一个小标题下的第三段，可知作者等人对l0个高危城市地区进行了独立评估，主要针对的是安全指数，但文章并没有说明受评估的l0个城市地区是否涵盖了美国所有的高危城市。
　　3. Y 根据题干中的信息词policemen和first responders定位到第二个小标题下的第一段，可知括号中的内容是对first responders的解释说明，即警察、消防员和急诊医士( EMTs) 等都是first responders，故该句表述正确。

　　5. handle the supplies。根据题干中的信息词CDC's“green status”和local health teams定位到第二个小标题下第三段的最后，可知如果你所在的城市获得了green status那是最好不过了，因为那意味着地方医疗队可以自己应对补给问题，由此可得答案。
