2024高考英语二轮阅读理解训练七十集之连载（23）
2024高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 It's 10:30 pm, 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. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t 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 to18 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.
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.
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.
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. "
1. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?
A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.
B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.
C. Because they have less other activities.
D. Because they have less homework to do.
2. It is known from the passage that
____.
A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text
B. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five years
C. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies
D. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile
devices
3. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?
A. Playing video games on the Internet.
B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.

2024高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.
For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.
Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.
Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.
1．What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.
B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.
C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.
D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.
2．Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?
A. Girls are more emotional than boys.
B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.
C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.
D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.
3．Which of the following does the author believe?
A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.
B. Girls need more training in communication.
C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.
D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。
．What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean?
A. evaluate
B. abandon
C. maintain
D. challenge
