One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube( underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about herday, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails--trying to draw her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.

It broke my heart and got me wondering--what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?

Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.

This is not an isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.

The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves", that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The girl failed to attract her mother's attention.

B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.

C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.

D. Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.

2.The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means .

A. spreading fast B. happening once

C. increasing quickly D. appearing suddenly

3.In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express .

A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones

B. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology

C. the sadness that the best smart pldones cost parents too much money

D. the hope that parents use new technology4ike smart phones properly

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A. Middle-aged parents B. A scene on the tube

C. Technology slaves D. Mindless phone games

科目:初中英語 來源:2015-2016學(xué)年江蘇揚(yáng)州邵樊片八年級(jí)下期第二次月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.

Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.

Here is how to preview.

●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.

Here’s how to skim.

●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

●Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.

1.What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?

A.精讀 B.默讀 C.朗讀 D.略讀

2.What should we do when we read a science report?

A. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

B. Spend a lot of time reading the details.

C. Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.

D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.

3.What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?

A.Get our eyes to move fast.

B.Read the last two paragraphs carefully.

C.Sweep our eyes across each line.

D.Pick up only a few key words in each line.

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A.Why we should read B.What to read

C.When to read D.How to read faster
