科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013屆浙江省慈溪中學(xué)高三第一次月考英語(yǔ)試題（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”

Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.
Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are Finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.
A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of "quality time," researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time- spending productive time with children vs. just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than "passive monitoring," such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.
“This time with children pays off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parent-child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.
As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family  schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.
Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says "You're taking away time from other things”

A．technology lets parents work at home
B．parents are satisfied with their work
C．technology makes our lives much easier
D．the family time is not always satisfying
【小題2】We can learn from the third paragraph that               .
A．some families are not experiencing quality time
B．it's enough for parents to stay with their children
C．parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities
D．working hours at home can transform into quality time
【小題3】 According to Brandon, the quality time means
A．just, being around with children
B．work time is separate from family time
C．spending instructive time with children
D．letting the children do whatever they want to do
【小題4】The underlined sentence “This time with children pays” off means            .
A．the time with children is of little value
B．the time with children costs quite a lot
C．the time with children leads to good result
D．the time with children has a bad effect on them
【小題5】What will the author most probably talk about in next part of the passage?
A．How to spend more time at home
B．How to do the dishes in a proper way.
C．How to spend more time on working at home.
D．How to take away time in a much proper way.

閱讀以下應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按要求匹配信息。
以下是有關(guān)吸煙問(wèn)題的觀點(diǎn)：

A． Smoking is sure to cause diseases. Just have a look at those people with diseases in hospital and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.
B．We have to admit that the tobacco industry contributes a lot to many countries' economies. It also creates job opportunities. But it's harmful to people in the long run. It's a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
C．Non-smokers absorb nicotine and other harmful chemicals just as smokers do. This is an especially bad situation for children — some of them absolutely have no choice but to be passive smokers and to have lungs that are not as healthy as a normal child's.
D． Despite all the strict laws against smoking, the statistics have shown that more young people are lighting up. While it was absolutely a taboo (禁忌) for a woman to smoke before, now it's quite common to see young girls smoking. Many even walk around with a lighted cigarette in one hand.
E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.
F.    Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right After a day's hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.
以下是個(gè)人對(duì)吸煙的認(rèn)識(shí)，請(qǐng)匹配個(gè)人的認(rèn)識(shí)與相應(yīng)的觀點(diǎn)。
56．Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don' t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.
57．Amanda: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支氣管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving your­self.
58．Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it's enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people' s pleasure?
59．Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.
60．Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn't object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers, especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.
