Question

【題目】Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 40 years.I have four brothers and sisters. We used to play board games in the living room, spend days in the street with friends, and ride bikes to tour around the town .

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are getting smaller, as more and more families have only one child. It's common for both parents to work outside, and it seems that no one could possibly afford(承擔(dān)得起) to have more than one child.As a result, today's children spend much of their time alone__Another great change is that children today spend a lot of their free time at home, inside. That's because parents worry about real or imagined danger, so they wouldn't let their children play outside by themselves.

Finally, the way children play is completely different. Almost every home has at least one computer and many children have a mobile phone. Mobile games have replaced （代替）board games and other interesting activities of my childhood. However, the fact is that playing mobile games alone can make people feel lonelier.

Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do .

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 因此，現(xiàn)在的孩子有很多時間是獨(dú)自呆在家里。

【2】 Parents worry about real or imagined danger.

【3】 Mobile games.

【4】 Children today.

【5】 合理即可。

【解析】

文章中作者陳述了現(xiàn)在孩子童年發(fā)生了變化和產(chǎn)生變化的原因，且作者提出的自己的個人觀點(diǎn)：現(xiàn)在孩子的童年不如作者的童年放松、快樂。

【1】句意：請把劃線的句子翻譯成中文。As a result為固定短語“結(jié)果是…”；再此語境下，today應(yīng)意為“如今、現(xiàn)在”；spend為實(shí)義動詞“花費(fèi)”；much of their time意為“很多時間”；alone為副詞“獨(dú)自”。故本題應(yīng)翻譯為：因此，現(xiàn)在的孩子有很多時間是獨(dú)自呆在家里。

【2】句意：為什么現(xiàn)在的父母不允許他們的孩子們在外面獨(dú)自玩耍呢？根據(jù)That's because parents worry about real or imagined danger, so they wouldn't let their children play outside by themselves.可知父母擔(dān)心他們遇到危險，故填Parents worry about real or imagined danger.

【3】句意：孩子們現(xiàn)在通常玩什么種類的游戲？根據(jù)Mobile games have replaced （代替）board games and other interesting activities of my childhood.可知本題答案為Mobile games。

【4】句意：文章中劃線部分單詞“they”指的是什么？根據(jù)前文Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? 可知“they”指的是如今的孩子們，故本題答案為Children today.

【5】句意：你覺得你的童年怎么樣？你為什么這樣認(rèn)為？本題為開放性試題，答案合理且符合語法要求即可。
