It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制臺 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices
Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "
1.Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?
A．Because more electronic devices are available to them.

【解析】
試題分析：根據(jù)the Kaiser Family Foundation調(diào)查，在這個信息爆炸的時代，孩子只要是醒著的，他們就會坐在電腦電視前，即使在做作業(yè)也都開著這些電器，他們出去活動的時間很少，連交朋友的時間都沒有了。因此有人提出要孩子的家長花些時間來控制一下孩子。
1.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study.主要是因為這些高級設(shè)備的不斷涌現(xiàn)而造成的，這些孩子也都能使用，故選A。
2.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says. Cheryl Olson主張只要自己有條件可以用電腦、手機、電視等設(shè)備。故選C。
3.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework.同時使用幾個設(shè)備，故選 A。
4.這是細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.做一件事要專心致志，不能三心二意，故選B。
考點：這是一篇議論文。
點評：閱讀能力的測試包括閱讀速度，理解程度以及記憶能力等。要想獲得滿意的英語成績，最根本的方法就是提高詞匯量，加強閱讀訓練，同時熟悉一些閱讀技巧和做題方法也是至關(guān)重要的。本文是比較容易讀懂的，仔細閱讀后能在原文找到正確答案。
細節(jié)題為閱讀考題的重頭戲，相對而言較簡單，因為這類題雖然要求理解準確，但基本上限于字面意義的理解，范圍也限于局部，因此是我們可望得高分的部分。細節(jié)題絕大部分體現(xiàn)“中心思想是解”這一原理。本文都是細節(jié)理解題，在文中比較容易找到答案。
