第2题:
In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last yes.
As a writer I know about winning contest, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A) Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.
B) Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.
C) Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.
D) A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays.
选D
题目问从第一段可以得知什么。第一段的大意如下:在这个网络聊天、视频游戏和电视真人秀的时代,供孩子们消遣的无聊活动当然也不会少。但我8岁的女儿丽贝卡却把空闲时间用来写短篇小说。她想要拿出一篇小说来参加一个写作大赛。在去年的上一届比赛中,她获得了优胜。
A,孩子们确实在许多无聊活动中得到了乐趣。作者只是指出供孩子选择的娱乐活动很多,但没有指明孩子们是否从中得到了乐趣。从mindless(没头脑的, 不用脑子的)一词可以看出,作者对这些活动至少是持有怀疑态度的。另外,从文中可知作者的女儿对这些活动没有兴趣,当然也谈不上乐趣,可以作为一个反例。
B,丽贝卡太忙而不能享受空余时间。文中只说丽贝卡把空闲时间用来写小说,是不是真的太忙不能确定。另外写小说本身也许即是丽贝卡的享受空闲时间的方式,那样的话她也就是在完全地享受自己的空闲时间,C的叙述不对。
C,丽贝卡从网络上汲取了很多写作材料。这句话和文意相去甚远,只要理解了第一段的意思,相信排除该选项不会太难。
D,如今大量娱乐活动在为儿童竞争(即现在的儿童有充足的娱乐活动)。文章开篇的In this age of 词组与A中的nowadays在时间上相互呼应。there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied中的 shortage是“少”的意思,但no shortage of并不仅指有一些,而是“较为丰富”,如there is no shortage of tall buildings here,这里的高楼可不少。从这一句可以看出,供孩子们消遣娱乐的活动确实很多,可以由此推出D的结论。
