三、阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）
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。
A
While waiting for an elevator at the Fair Oaks Mall near her home in Virginia recently, Janice Im, who studies early-childhood development, witnessed a troubling incident between a young boy and his mother.
The boy, who Ms. Im estimates was about two and a half years old, made repeated attempts to talk to his mother, but she wouldn’t look up from her BlackBerry (国外手机品牌). “He’s like: ‘Mama? Mama? Mama?’ ” Ms. Im recalled. “And then he starts tapping her leg. And she says: ‘Just wait a second. Just wait a second.’ ”
Finally, he was so frustrated, Ms. Im said, that “he says, ‘Ahhh!’ and tries to bite her leg.”
Much of the concern about cell phones and instant messaging has been focused on how children who often use the technology are affected by it. But parents’ use of such technology — and its effect on their children — is now becoming an equal source of concern to some child-development researchers.
Sherry Turkle, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Initiative on Technology and Self, has been studying how parental use of technology affects children and young adults. After five years and 300 interviews, she has found that feelings of hurt, jealousy and competition are widespread.
In her studies, Dr. Turkle said, “Over and over, kids raised the same three examples of feeling hurt and not wanting to show it when their mom or dad would be on their devices instead of paying attention to them: at meals, during pickup after either school or an extracurricular activity, and during sports events.”
Dr. Turkle said that she recognizes the pressure adults feel to make themselves constantly available for work, but added that she believes there is a greater force compelling (强迫) them to keep checking the screen.
36. What’s the cause of the troubling incident between the young boy and his mother?
A. The young boy was hungry and asking his mother for food.
B. The young boy was naughty and made his mother angry.
C. The mother was trying to stop the boy from biting her leg.
D. The mother’s attention was fully drawn to her cell phone.
37. Which of the following is NOT proper to describe the feeling of the young boy?
A. Angry. B. Frustrated. C. Excited. D. Hurt.
38. Dr. Turkle would probably agree that .
A. parents should check their devices often
B. parents should turn off their devices while with their children
C. parents should cut their use of technology while with their children
D. parents should try to satisfy their children’s needs
39. Dr. Turkle’s attitude towards parents is that of .
A. understanding B. doubt
C. disappointment D. appreciation
40. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents’ use of technology can have a bad effect on their children.
B. Technology brings great convenience to parents.
C. Parents today can’t do without technology.
D. Parents’ use of technology causes great concern.

The second Monday of January is Coming-of-Age Day in Japan, a national holiday to encourage those who have newly entered adulthood to become self-reliant members of society. The holiday used to be on January 15, but in 2000 it was moved to the second Monday of the month.
Special coming-of-age ceremonies for 20-year-olds are held, since an “adult” in Japan is legally defined as one who is 20 or over. They gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday, and they’re also allowed to smoke and drink. But along with these rights come new responsibilities as well, and so the age of 20 is a big turning point for the Japanese.
Coming-of-age ceremonies have been held since time immemorial in Japan. In the past boys marked their transition to adulthood when they were around 15, and girls celebrated their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. During the Edo period (1603 — 1868), boys had their forelocks (额发) cropped, and girls had their teeth dyed black. It wasn’t until 1876 that 20 became the legal age of adulthood.
These days, males generally wear suits in their coming-of-age ceremony, but a lot of females choose to wear a special type of kimono (和服) for unmarried women with extra-long sleeves and elaborate designs. For unmarried women, this special type of kimono is the most formal thing they can wear, and so many of them wear it to the event marking the start of their adult life.
The number of children in Japan is decreasing. For instance, about 1.74 million (890,000 males and 850,000 females) joined the ranks of grown-ups in 1999; this is 80,000 fewer than the year before and represents 1.4% of the total population.
46. Coming-of-Age Day is designed to .
A. give the youths rights to drink and smoke
B. give celebrations to the youths on their twentieth birthday
C. encourage the youths to become independent in society
D. allow the youths to enjoy the lifestyle of adults
47. Before 1876, a Japanese boy was regarded as an adult when he reached the age of .
A. 13 B. 15 C. 18 D. 20
48. During the Edo period, girls to show that they had reached adulthood.
A. had their forelocks cut B. had their teeth dyed black
C. wore a special type of kimono D. wore suits
49. Which of the following is TRUE about Coming-of-Age Day?
A. It is more important to boys than to girls.
B. It marks the start of new life for unmarried women.
C. It brings more responsibilities than rights to boys and girls.
D. It is regarded as a turning point in their life for boys and girls.
50. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. Coming-of-Age Day has a long history in Japan
B. Coming-of-Age Day didn’t become popular until the Edo period
C. Coming-of-Age Day isn’t as popular as before
D. the purpose of Coming-of-Age Day has changed over time
D
Young people worry greatly about how they are thought of, especially by new people or in new situations. The start of a school year means your kids will face plenty of both. Family therapist (治疗师) Sharon Scott, author of How to Say No and Keep Your Friends, says parents can help their teens avoid peer pressure with these methods.
