10、imecrunch的影響，可見thesametimecrunch是指空閑時間不夠用，故C正確。2 .B觀點態(tài)度題。第2段第2句中括號里的內(nèi)容表明了作者的觀點。轉(zhuǎn)折詞Nevertheless說明作者的觀點跟上文SandraHofferth的看法不完全一致，而作者在下文舉例中提到，單身母親因為要上班，與孩子在起的時間只有9個小時，確實少了很多，這與Hofferth所述一致，因此選B。3 .B事實細(xì)節(jié)題。第3段最后一句表明孩子自由玩樂能促使他們獨立思考，并使他們學(xué)會處理與同齡關(guān)系，其中unstructuredplay相當(dāng)于B中的playinhisownway，故B正確。4 .A觀點態(tài)度題。文章一開頭

11、作者就說孩子們比1981年時上學(xué)的時間每周多8小時，他們還做更多的家務(wù),參加更多的有組織性的活動等等,而這些均是造成孩子們空閑時間越來越少的原因，而孩子們空閑時間少也正是作者憂慮的問題，故可推知本題選A。B是作者在第2段括號里反駁過的觀點；C錯在moreandmoretime，而且作者對孩子看電視也不完全反對;孩子們事實上要做更多家務(wù)，故D錯。5 .D推理判斷題。文章最后一段倒數(shù)第2句說“盡管父母費盡心思培養(yǎng)孩子的讀書興趣，可孩子們一周也只不過花一個多小時讀書”。由此可見,父母認(rèn)為讀書對孩子有好處，即D。A中的extracurricularactivities包含structuredandun

12、structuredactivities，文中只說unstructuredactivities有助于培養(yǎng)孩子獨立思考以及與同齡人交往的能力，沒有說structuredactivities對intelligence有什么幫助;B與文章的倒數(shù)第3句不符;C與倒數(shù)第2句不符。Thereisnodenyingthatstudentsshouldlearnsomethingabouthowcomputerswork,justasweexpectthematleasttounderstandthattheinternal-combustionengine（內(nèi)燃機(jī)）hassomethingtodowithb
