Children today would rather toy with new technologies. The role of children has changed as well as that of teens. The world has truly evolved (進(jìn)化)throughout the years.

Today,a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. A few decades ago children used to work. They did the kind of work parents do today. Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. They think they have to look perfect all the time.

Teens have changed as well. My grandma got married when she was thirteen. Girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean,take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. Today,we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. Then we go home and do homework, and eat. After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.

The generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. They say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.

1.The role of children and teens has changed mainly because _____.

A.new technologies are developing and widely used

B.they don't have to work hard as their parents did

4.C

【解析】

試題分析:本文講述了現(xiàn)在的孩子們的生活隨著科技的發(fā)展,發(fā)生了很重大的變化。作者對這種變化是抱著樂觀的態(tài)度的,他認(rèn)為年輕人應(yīng)該去用自己的方式去改變這個(gè)世界,對世界要有積極的態(tài)度。

1.推斷題。從第一自然段及第三自然段可知,現(xiàn)在的孩子們和青少年與十年前的不一樣了,科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展及其廣泛的運(yùn)用是主要原因。故選A。

2.推斷題。Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections.從這兩句可知,現(xiàn)在的孩子們花重金化妝,打扮,是為了掩蓋他們的缺陷。故選D。

3.推斷題。從第三自然段After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.可知,現(xiàn)在的青少年社交的方式更多了,通過短信、電話、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等等。故選B。

4.推斷題。從最后一段Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.可知作者認(rèn)為年輕人有權(quán)力來做他們想做的事情,來改變這個(gè)世界。所以作者對年輕人生活的改變態(tài)度是樂觀積極的。故選C。

考點(diǎn):議論文

點(diǎn)評:文章重在理解作者的感情基調(diào),從全文來看,本文大部分在講現(xiàn)在孩子的生活與以往的不一致,講到了對這種現(xiàn)象人們的一些看法。最后作者話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),表達(dá)出了自己截然相反的意見,由此可見對于議論文的文章重在把握作者的感情色彩,答題時(shí)不斷提醒自己作者在講什么,作者的是在褒義還是在貶斥,這一點(diǎn)非常重要。
