Question

【題目】“When can I get a cell phone?” The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道) to their parents if something goes wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and make sure they’re OK.

If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on.

You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged(充電) and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do, don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone who dropped her phone in the toilet!

【解析】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了孩子什么時候該擁有手機和孩子使用手機的注意事項的問題。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13.”可知，家長給孩子買手機是因為他們需要，而且與年齡無關(guān)。故A選項正確。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)作者寫這篇文章可以看出他并不是想決定孩子如何使用手機。作者一定是做了一定的調(diào)查，才寫出這篇文章。故C選項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。A選項，“The answer is when your parents think you need one, though many kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13.”可知家長給孩子買手機與年齡無關(guān)；B選項，根據(jù)第一段三、四、五句話可以知道使用手機方便了家長和孩子；C選項，本文是一篇客觀的說明文沒有涉及到作者的個人觀點，所以反對一說無從得來；D選項，本文中同時也沒有提及孩子的想法，所以此說法也是不正確的。故B選項正確。

【4】推理判斷題。從文章整體來看，寫得十分客觀，沒有提及學生，家長和老師的主觀看法�？梢哉f明不是這三者，而是一位研究人員或者是學者。故D選項正確。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone……”可知手機不能一直攜帶在身上。所以這一點是不正確的。故A選項為正確答案。
