　　四川汉源县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮编选

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.

　　Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.

　　I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.

　　When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!

　　1. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that

　　.

　　A. Howard had a strange behavior

　　B. Howard should be afraid of the metal poles

　　C. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightning

　　D. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth

　　A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.

　　B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.

　　C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.

　　D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.

　　3. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?

　　A. It was about 200 meters from the author’s home.

　　B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.

　　C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.

　　D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.

　　Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way．

　　¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today． She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger．It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all"

　　concerned about it． It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity．The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices．“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey．

　　¨The findings exposes a generational shift （转移） in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella．“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair． "

　　The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families） , media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%）． Children

　　in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier．And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied．Slightly fewer turn to books （79%） and TV（78%）．

　　The survey didn't look at how media affects children． That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times． The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat． In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats （格式）such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience． Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy （素养） ," it says．

　　The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones"

　　and TV should be turned off during dinner． At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content． It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies

　　and

　　using their imaginations

　　in free

　　play．“ Kids

　　under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says．

　　An article on screen time by t．he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked t．o over screen time, including

　　being

　　fat, irregular

　　sleep , behavioral

　　problems , weak

　　school

　　performance , violence

　　and

　　less time for active and creative play．

　　50．Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like

　　．

　　A．computers

　　B．smart phones

　　C．video games

　　D．tablets PCs

　　51．Most parents don't worry about kid's media use because

　　．

　　A．they can limit the screen time

　　B．they want their children happy

　　C．they also grew up with technology D．they can teach their children themselves

　　52．From the data of the survey, we learn

　　．

　　A．children in media-centric families are smarter than others

　　B．children in media-light families spend one hour watching TV

　　C．more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem

　　D．media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use

　　53．To make parenting easier, most parents probably

　　．

　　A．try to persuade their children to read books

　　B．ask their children questions while watching TV

　　C．allow their children watching TV or using computers

　　D．turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied

　　54．Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?

　　A．Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited．

　　B．Entertainment media use should be high-quality content．

　　C．Schools should provide more time for active and creative play．

　　D．Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．
