第一节 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The bedroom door opened and a light went on, signaling an end to nap time．The toddle（初学走路的婴儿）, sleepy-eyed, clambered to a swinging stand in his crib．He smiled, reached out to his father, and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation: \

Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the Toy of Choice for many 1-, 2- and 3-year-olds．The phenomenon is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists．

Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, now 3 but then barely 2 years old, held her husband's iPhone．%up．I just remember her eyes．It was like 'Whoa!' \fascination．But then, said Ms．Sykes （herself a Black Berry user）, \phone．\．Then she'd cry for it．\Ms．Sykes said．

Apple, the iPhone's designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so user-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow．Tap a picture on the screen and something happens．What could be more fun?

The sleepy-eyed toddler who called for the iPhone is one of hundreds of iPhone-loving

toddlers whose parents are often proud of their offspring's ability to slide fat fingers across the gadget's screen and pull up photographs of their choice．

Many iPhone apps on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled \square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which streams live video of animals at zoos around the world． Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty．They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television．The American Academy of Pediatrics is continually reassessing its guidelines to address new forms of \．\．Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, a member of the academy's council, said, \industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the table and wonder- Should we have a specific guideline for them?\

Tovah P. Klein, the director of a research center for Toddler Development worries that fixation on the iPhone screen every time a child is out with parents will limit the child's ability to experience the wider world.

As with TV in earlier generations, the world is increasingly divided into those parents who do allow iPhone use and those who don't. A recent post on UrbanBaby.com, asked if anyone had found that their child was more interested in playing with their iPhone than with real toys. The Don't mothers said on the Website: \from creative play.\hard to distract a toddler with, say ... a book.\

Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, a psychology professor who specializes in early language development, sides with the Don'ts. Research shows that children learn best through activities that help them adapt to the particular situation at hand and interacting with a screen doesn't qualify, she said.

Still, Dr. Hirsh-Pasek, struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents were handing over their iPhones to their little children in tha subway, said she understands the impulse (冲动). \41．The first paragraph in the passage intends to ______. A．get us to know a cute sleepy-eyed child in a family B．show us how harmful the iPhone is

C．lead us to the topic of the toddlers' iPhone-addict D．explain how iPhone appeals to toddlers

42．According to the author, iPhones are popular with both adults and young kids because they are______.

A．easy to use

B．beautiful in appearance

C．cheap in price D． powerful in battery volume 43．The underlined word \

A．televisions B．cellphones C．iPhones D．screens 44．The tone of the author towards parents sharing iPhones with their children is ______. A．negative B．subjective C．objective 45．The passage mainly tells us ______.

A．children's iPhone addict is becoming a concern B．iPhone is winning the hearts of the toddlers C．Apple is developing more user-friendly products

D．supportive

D．ways to avoid children's being addicted to iPhone games
