【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 nicate face to face. I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone sans cell phones and distractions. It shows that you care about who you are talking to and want to involve and listen to them. The cell phone can wait until later. What I really dislike is that younger and younger children are using technology. Instead of playing outside with friends, they are playing on iPads, iPods, or video games. Instead of having little games or books, children now have electronic devices to use to distract them even if waiting at doctors39。 appointments etc. They want cell phones at young ages. They have texting. I overheard sixth graders one day talking about texting, and I was a little sad. At that age, I had to call my friends on the phone in order to talk to them. We are a society based on technology. And, that isn39。t a pletely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine. But we shouldn39。t be addicted to so many of these devices that we forget to look around and see what is happening in the world around us.（1）What can be concluded from the first paragraph? tech products leave us unable to focus. media apps make people more visible. people usually misuse social media apps. provides us with a convenient life.（2）Which can best replace the underlined word sans? need of spite of（3）What39。s the author39。s attitude towards using technology in medicine? ....（4）What does the author really want to show in the passage? should take a step back from constantly using technology. electronic devices are closely connected with our life. should no longer be based on technology. should say goodbye to electronic devices.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者提出了在日常生活中人們嚴重地依賴高科技產(chǎn)品的現(xiàn)象，并表達自己的觀點：不要沉迷于電子產(chǎn)品。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“ we are surrounded by technology. We heavily rely on technology和we are constantly looking down at our phones and other devices”可知，我們對高科技是如此依賴，我們的生活中充滿了高科技的產(chǎn)品，以至于我們總是看著手機或者其他的高科技設備，作者覺得這是一個問題。這些電子設備分散了人們的注意力。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone”可知，作者個人喜歡能夠坐下來和人面對面的交談；再根據(jù)“The cell phone can wait until later”手機稍后再說，可知，交談時沒有手機和其他的干擾。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“that isn39。t a pletely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine”考慮到科技在醫(yī)學等領域的應用，這并不完全是一件壞事，可知，作者對高科技在醫(yī)學方面的應用持支持的態(tài)度。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。分析文章結構可知，文中第一段引出問題：人們過多地使用電子設備；在第二、三段作者談及了自己對現(xiàn)狀的看法； 第四段作者提出觀點“we shouldn39。t be addicted to so many of these devices”，作者覺得我們不能如此依賴電子設備。故選A 。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra puter time. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn39。t worth doing unless you get something in return. Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It39。s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look. Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兌取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by pleting chores that they can turn in for reallife rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them. What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return? Write a 200word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@.
