　　2024高考訓練題。閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Parents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy.

　　Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms.

　　Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. ?If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician(小兒科醫師) and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?”

　　Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found.

　　Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.

　　1. Which statement is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

　　A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes.

　　B. A “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America.

　　C. Electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and educators.

　　D. The overuse of electronic media has caused many severe problems.

　　2. Why should parents themselves obey the family rules?

　　A. It’s beneficial to their health.

　　B. It’s essential to parenting their kids.

　　C. It’s beneficial to their work.

　　D. It’s essential to develop good relationship with their kids.

　　3. What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation?

　　A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes.

　　B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.

　　C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.

　　D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun.

　　4. What can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kids

　　B. No use, no worry

　　C. Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic media

　　D. Electronic devices threaten the relationship of many families

　　參考答案1—4、DBAC

　　閱讀理解。

　　The young man arrived on the Massachusetts beach early carrying a radio, a shovel, and a strange set of tools: a brick layer’s trowel, a palette knife, spatulas, spoons, and a spray bottle.

　　He walked down near the water—the tide was out—put down the radio and tuned it to soft rock. Then he shoveled wet sand into a pile nearly four feet high and as many feet across. Then he created a rectangular（長方形的）shape.

　　After that, he set to work with palette knife, spatulas, and spoons. He shaped a graceful tower, topped walls, fashioned beautiful bay windows, and carved out big front gate.

　　The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and embroidered（雕刻）artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind.

　　All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, obviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland.

　　Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the rapt（全神貫注的） crowd still overlooked: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style, he had done so against a powerful, immutable（不可抗拒的）deadline.

　　As the crowd looked on, water began to lap at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate’s arch fell. More minutes passed, and small waves erased bay windows and battlements—soon no more than a small part was left.

　　Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement. But the sculptor（雕塑家） remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.

　　1. In this selection, why did the sculptor start early in the day?

　　A. He knew the tide was out on this particular morning.

　　B. It gave time for the crowd to gather.

　　C. He needed the sun to help dry the sand.

　　D. It was easier to begin with only a few people around.

　　答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。文章的開頭提到年輕男子一大早帶著他的工具來到了沙灘，由第二段的首句 “…the tide was out….” 可知潮水已消退, 他進行后面的工作都是在此前提下進行。故答案為A。

　　2. Which of the following best shows that the sculptor was an expert?

　　A. He attracted a large crowd.

　　B. He created beautiful details.

　　3. In this selection, what does the incoming tide signal?

　　A. It is time to begin working.

　　B. It is the busiest time of the day.

　　C. It is the end of a day’s work.

　　B. They were disappointed to see the art ruined.

　　C. They were nervous about their own belongings.

　　D. They helped the artist finish the castle.

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節題。從最后一段首句 “Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement.” 可知, 故答案為B。
