Parents are often just as guilty of spending too much time checking smart phones and emails. And the consequences for their children can be troubling.Dr. Jenny Radesky is a pediatrician(儿科医生) specializing in child development. When she worked at a clinic in a hightech Seattle neighborhood, Radesky started noticing how often parents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device. Radesky was so concerned that she decided to study the behavior.After relocating to Boston Medical Center, she and two other researchers spent one summer observing 55 different groups of parents and young children eating at fast food restaurants. “Many of the caregivers pulled out a mobile device right away，” she says. “They looked at it, scrolled on it and typed for most of the meal, only putting it down occasionally.”This was not a scientific study. Radesky is quick to point out. It was more like anthropological(人类学的) observation, complete with detailed field notes. Forty of the 55 parents used a mobile device during the meal, and many, she says, were more absorbed in the device than in the kids.Radesky says thats a big mistake, because facetoface interactions are the primary way children learn. “They learn language, they learn about their own emotions, and they learn how to regulate them，” she says.“They learn by watching us how to have a conversation, and how to read other peoples facial expressions. And if that is not happening, children are missing out on important development milestones(里程碑)”In the research for her book, SteinerAdair interviewed 1，000 children between the ages of 4 and 18, asking them about their parents use of mobile devices. The language that came up over and over and over again, she says, was “sad, mad, angry and lonely.” SteinerAdair says we dont know exactly how much these mini moments of disconnection between a parent and child affect the child in the long term. But based on the stories she hears, SteinerAdair suggests that parents think twice before picking up a mobile device when theyre with their kids.【解题导语】该文主要讨论了父母玩手机对孩子发展的影响。4What did Dr. Jenny Radesky find in a Seattle neighborhood?AParents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device.BHigh technology made peoples life more convenient.CChildren took a much keener interest in smart phones.DParents were worried about their childrens development.A解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Jenny Radesky医生在社区里发现了父母玩手机而忽略孩子的现象，故选A。5How did Radesky do her research?ABy interviewing the caregivers.BBy analyzing data from a clinic.CBy classifying parents behavior.DBy observing parents and children.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，Radesky是通过观察父母和孩子们的行为来进行研究的，故选D。6What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?ALearning about their own feelings.BReading others facial expressions.CWatching their parents talking.DCommunicating face to face.D解析：代词指代题。根据第五段第一句可推知，此处的that代指的是父母和孩子之间面对面的互动和交流，故选D。7What does SteinerAdair advise parents to do?AComfort their children as often as possible.BPut down their smart phones while with their kids.CReflect on their own influence on their children.DAllow their kids to use mobile devices sometimes.B解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句和对本段的整体理解可推知，SteinerAdair建议父母和孩子们在一起时，不要玩手机，故选B。C(2019陕西部分学校第一学期摸底检测)Thomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time, was born on June 2, 1840, in Dorsetshire, England. He died on January 11, 1928. In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry, but when he was twentyseven, he turned to fiction. His first novel finished by 1867, but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. After he abandoned his first novel, his another novel Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871. During the next twentyfive years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes(1873), began to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardys writings.Far from the Madding Crowd(1874) was his first popular success. It shows Hardys amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of the dUrbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fiftyeight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixtyfour when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作家Thomas Hardy和他的一些作品。8How did Thomas Hardy benefit from his architectural career?AHe could practice writing while working.BHe made a lot of money to support his writing.CHe found material for his novels and poems.DHe applied architectural knowledge in his novels.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.”可知，在他的小说中细腻的结构描述可能得益于他在建筑方面的学习训练，即他把建筑知识应用到了他的小说中。故选D项。9What is Thomas Hardys Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be?AOne of his masterworks.BHis first popular success.CHis best novel in perfection of art.DOne of his best collections of poems.C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art.”可知，绿树林下在艺术的恰当和熟练方面从未被超越。10Which of the following is one of his novels of character and environment?ADesperate RemediesBA Pair of Blue EyesCTess of the dUrbervillesDThe DynastsC解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of the dUrbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure.”可知，Tess of the dUrbervilles是性格和环境小说，故选C。11What type of writing is this text?AA novel.

After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins they changed. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, the runners high symptoms seemed to fade.“The longheld notion of endorphins being responsible for the runners high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out，” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on a science blog.Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but its already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UKs National Health Service even prescribes(开药方) exercise for patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and its especially useful for people with mild to moderate(中等的) depression，” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we dont fully understand where it comes from. At least if were feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.【解题导语】本文主要探究了影响运动者情绪高涨的因素。12What did scientists from German universities recently discover?AWorking out is a highly effective way to treat depression.BThe runners high could be caused by endocannabinoids.CEndorphins may contribute to ones high spirits after running.DThe level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect ones mood.B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids(内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.”可知，德国一些大学的科学家们最近发现了跑步后的快感是由内源性大麻素引起的，故选B。13The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to _.Afind what reduces the runners high symptomsBsee the specific symptoms of the runners highCidentify what is responsible for the runners highDtest what influences the level of endocannabinoids releasedC解析：推理判断题。根据对第二段和第三段的整体理解，并结合第四段“To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.”可推知，科学家们拿老鼠做实验是为了确定究竟是哪种物质会引起跑步者的情绪高涨，故选C。14The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to _Aeffect BgoalCquestion DbeliefD解析：词义猜测题。根据对全文内容的理解可知，该词所在句子与第二段“But while its long been believed that endorphins(内啡肽)chemicals in the body that cause happinessare behind the socalled runners high， a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.”呼应，并结合本句结构可推知，此处notion与believed相呼应，故选D。15According to the UKs National Health Service, regular workouts _Aare the best way to treat depressionBcan help ease depression symptomsConly work for those with serious depressionDcan help people completely recover from depressionB解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三、四段和倒数第二段第二句“Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and its especially useful for people with mild to moderate(中等的) depression”可知，常规锻炼有利于情绪好转，缓解抑郁症状，故选B。 七选五(2019沈阳教学质量监测)As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you cant figure out what to do first.1_When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of whats important.
