Question

7．Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（懷舊的）．I have four brothers and sisters，and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor，or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children，racing up and down on our bikes，or exploring the nearby woods．My parents hardly appear in these memories，except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days，in the UK at least，the nature of childhood has changed greatly．Firstly，families are smaller，and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family，or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result，today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home，inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally，the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The iron（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive"．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？I personally believe that they do，but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了現(xiàn)在孩子童年發(fā)生了變化和產(chǎn)生變化的原因，問題是現(xiàn)在的孩子是否更快樂？

解答 60．A．推理題：文章第一段提出：But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？，后面就是圍繞這個問題展開論述：現(xiàn)在的孩子比我們快樂嗎？，所以提出問題是吸引讀者和引出話題的，故選A．
61．B．細(xì)節(jié)題：從第三段的句子：Firstly，families are smaller，可知現(xiàn)在的家庭變小了，A是對的，As a result，today"s boys and girls spend much of their time alone．可知現(xiàn)在孩子是單獨(dú)在家玩玩具，More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，可知父母更加擔(dān)心孩子的安全，故選B．
62．B．推理題：從第四段的內(nèi)容：The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．可知現(xiàn)在孩子在家玩的游戲有的不是好的，故選B．
63．B．推理題：文章中作者陳述了現(xiàn)在孩子童年發(fā)生了變化的事實(shí)，所以對于現(xiàn)在的孩子童年的改變是客觀的，故選B．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
