(2021浙江, B)
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.

五年高考練
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇議論文。作者通過講述自己的孩子們總是盯著電子屏幕而不去戶外活動的現(xiàn)象,引出了電影導演David Bond通過拍攝影片激勵自己的孩子們養(yǎng)成戶外活動、鍛煉身體的習慣的做法。
1.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours”可知,作者的孩子們放學后想做的事就是拿起任何一個屏幕,盯著它看上幾個小時。由此可知作者的孩子的問題是花在屏幕上的時間太多。故選D。
2.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“being a London media type, appointed himself...a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature”可知,David利用媒體來向孩子們“推銷”大自然,他記錄了自己的活動,并且拍成了一部電影Project Wild Thing。由此可知他是通過制作紀錄片的形式來倡導自己的理念的。故選A。
3.A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段畫線詞前面的句子“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.”可知其中的“documented”意為“記錄”。因此,結(jié)合畫線詞后面的“the birth of the Wild Network”可知,他的紀錄片記錄了一個組織的誕生,故“charts”意為“記錄”,故選A。
4.C　主旨大意題。作者通過回憶自己小時候在外面玩以及現(xiàn)在自己的孩子花費在屏幕前的時間太多,而不再出去玩了,引出電影制作人David Bond拍攝紀錄片來向孩子們“推銷”大自然,引導他們不再迷戀電子設備,因此C項符合題意。

長難句
原句　There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.
分析　本句為主從復合句?！皐hich seems...for life”為which引導的定語從句,修飾evidence;“that if...for life”為that引導的賓語從句,作suggesting的賓語,其中包含if引導的條件狀語從句“if children...of seven”。
譯文　有很多非常有趣的證據(jù)似乎正表明,如果孩子們在七歲之前受到啟發(fā),那么參加戶外活動將成為一生的習慣。
