第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Teachers fear traditional playground games like British bulldog and conkers are disappearing from many of England’s schools, a survey suggests.
More than a quarter (29%) of the 653 school staff surveyed by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) said the chasing game, British bulldog, had been banned from their school. Some 14% said pupils were banned from playing conkers and 9% said leapfrog. Most (57%) said they felt schools were becoming increasingly risk averse (厌恶).
Around 15% of teachers, lecturers, support staff and school leaders said that fewer playground games and sports activities were played at their school than three years ago.
The key reasons for the decrease were fewer staff on hand to monitor activities, reduced funding(资金) and concerns over pupil safety.
Teachers were also questioned about changes in attitude towards risk. Some 57% of staff said there was a growing trend towards risk aversion in schools.

And of the 383 staff who thought schools were more risk averse, 90% said it controlled activities both in and out of school. Some 84% think it limits the school curriculum(课程), while 83% believe risk aversion puts a brake on pupils’ preparation for life.
A head teacher at a primary school in Cleveland said: ―All staff recognise the need to keep children safe, but not all recognise that children still need to take measured risks to develop real life skills.‖
―Children are allowed to explore their physical limits and learn to negotiate physical tasks at their own pace. Staff have clear guidelines and children have clear boundaries,‖ the teacher added.
Another high school teacher, from Wales, said: ―In fact, pupils need to learn their own limitations, which they can’t do if they don’t meet with risks.‖
And there continues to be fears that, should something go wrong, school trips could end in teachers or schools being charged.
