Question

9．The bedroom door opened and a light went on，signaling an end to nap time．The toddle（初学走路的婴儿），sleepy-eyed，clambered to a swinging stand in his crib．He smiled，reached out to his father，and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation："iPhone!"
    Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones，so the device is now the Toy of Choice for many 1-，2-and 3-year-olds．The phenomenon is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists．
Natasha Sykes，a mother of two in Atlanta，remembers the first time her daughter，Kelsey，now 3 but then barely 2 years old，held her husband's iPhone．"She pressed the button and it lit up．I just remember her eyes．It was like'Whoa!'"The parents were charmed by their daughter's fascination．But then，said Ms．Sykes （herself a Black Berry user），"She got serious about the phone．"Kelsey would ask for it．Then she'd cry for it．"It was like she'd always want the phone，"Ms．Sykes said．
Apple，the iPhone's designer and manufacturer，has built its success on machines so user-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how to work them，so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow．Tap a picture on the screen and something happens．What could be more fun？
The sleepy-eyed toddler who called for the iPhone is one of hundreds of iPhone-loving toddlers whose parents are often proud of their offspring's ability to slide fat fingers across the gadget's screen and pull up photographs of their choice．
Many iPhone apps on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers，many of them labeled"educational，"such as Toddler Teasers：Shapes，which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle； and Pocket Zoo，which streams live video of animals at zoos around the world．
Along with fears about dropping and damage，however，many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty．They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool，or a passive amusement like television．The American Academy of Pediatrics is continually reassessing its guidelines to address new forms of"screen time．"Dr．Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe，a member of the academy's council，said，"We always try to throw in the latest technology，but the cellphone industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the table and wonder-Should we have a specific guideline forthem？"
Tovah P．Klein，the director of a research center for Toddler Development worries that fixation on the iPhone screen every time a child is out with parents will limit the child's ability to experience the wider world．
As with TV in earlier generations，the world is increasingly divided into those parents who do allow iPhone use and those who don't．A recent post on UrbanBaby．com，asked if anyone had found that their child was more interested in playing with their iPhone than with real toys．The Don't mothers said on the Website："We don't let our toddler touch our iPhones…it takes away from creative play．""Please…just say no．It is not too hard to distract a toddler with，say…a book．"
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek，a psychology professor who specializes in early language development，sides with the Don'ts．Research shows that children learn best through activities that help them adapt to the particular situation at hand and interacting with a screen doesn't qualify，she said．
Still，Dr．Hirsh-Pasek，struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents were handing over their iPhones to their little children in tha subway，said she understands the impulse （冲动）．"This is a magical phone，"she said．"I must admit I'm addicted to this phone．"

Answer 1

分析 本文叙述了蹒跚学步的幼儿对iPhone着迷上瘾的现象．而且很多父母把手机递给孩子玩．手机之所以深受大人和孩子的欢迎，主要是因为它简单易学．但是孩子玩手机，对孩子的成长不利．研究表明，孩子最好的学习方式是活动，活动帮助他们适应特殊情况，但是与屏幕交流没有这种作用．所以，作者认应关注孩子对手机上瘾这一现象．

解答 答案：41．C 推理判断题．根据第一段的The toddle…uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation："iPhone!"蹒跚学步的幼儿喊道"iPhone!"这个很快成为了他们这一代人的喜爱．从中可知幼儿已经对iPhone着迷．故选C．
42．A 细节理解题．第四段的Apple，theiPhone's designer and manufacturer，has built its success on machines souser-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how towork them，so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow． iPhone的设计师和生产商----苹果，使手机如此容易使用，以至于不懂技术的成年人都会用，当然早熟的孩子就更不用说了．故选A．
43．B 词义猜测题．第七段的but thecellphone industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the tableand wonder-但手机行业正变得如此复杂，我们总是坐在一起，前面提到手机有很多应用程序，怎样才适合孩子，想知道是否应该为手机制定一个指导方针．因此them代指的cellphone．故选B．
44．C 作者态度题．最后一段的Still，Dr．Hirsh-Pasek，struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents werehanding over their iPhones to their little children in the subway，said sheunderstands the impulse 作者通过引用Dr．Hirsh-Pasek的话，认为父母与孩子分享手机，是一种冲动，也就是说作者不赞同这样的行为．故选C．
45．A 主旨大意题．全文围绕这孩子玩故 iPhones上瘾，并且引用专家的话，手机不会使孩子来适应真实的生活环境．所以孩子对iPhones上瘾的现象应引起关注．故选A．

点评 阅读理解是考查语篇理解能力．常考的题型有：推理判断题；主旨大意题；细节理解题；猜测词意题．近几年又出现了两种新的考查方式：写作态度判断题和文章结构题．解题时，在读懂文章的基础上，还有特别注意掌握题型的特征，尤其是细节题和推断题不可混淆：细节题是文章信息的再现；推断题是文章信息的提取．本题是广告类文章，考查主要是以细节题为主，细节题要注意常用的出题陷阱有：夸大，缩小，张冠李戴，偷梁换柱，无中生有等，做题时要看清看准．
