Although American children still spend part of their days reading, they are spending less time doing it for pleasure than years ago, with large gaps(差距) in proficiency(熟练),according to a recent report.

“It raises an alarm,” said Vicky Rideout, the lead author of the report. “We’re witnessing a really large drop in reading among teenagers and the speed of that drop is getting faster and faster.”

The report found that the percentage of nine-year-old children reading for pleasure once or more per week had dropped from 81 percent in 1984 to 76 percent in 2013, based on government studies. About a third of 13-year-olds and almost half of 17-year-olds reported in one study that they read for pleasure less than twice a year.

Of those who read or are read to, children often spend on average between 30 minutes and an hour daily with that activity, the report found. Older children and teenagers tend(倾向于) to read for pleasure for an equally long time each day.

Rideout warned that there may be differences in how people come across texts and the included studies may not take into account stories read on line or on social media.

The report also found that many young children are struggling with literacy(识字). Only about one-third of fourth grade students are “proficient” in reading and another one-third scored below “basic” in reading skills.

Despite the large percentage of children with below-basic reading skills, reading scores among young children have improved since the 1970s, according to one test that measures reading ability.

The reading scores among 17-year-olds, however, reminded relatively unchanged since the 1790s.

About 46 percent of white children are considered “proficient” in reading, compared with 18 percent of black children and 20 percent of Hispanic kids.

Those gap remained relatively unchanged over the past 20 years, according to the report.

“To go 20 years with no progress in that area is shameful”, Rideout said.

The report stresses some behaviors that have been tied to children being more frequent readers. Those behaviors include parents setting aside time to read with their children and parents reading themselves to model good behavior.

1.The figures in paragraph 3 show that_____.

A. fewer children read for pleasure.

B. older children are busier than young children.

C. teenagers are more interested in online reading.

D. more elder children gain pleasure from reading.

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the report findings?

A. The reading scores among older children have improved.

B. The reading scores among young children haven’t changed.

C. The gap between black children and white children has narrowed.

D. Black children have lower proficiency in reading than white children.

3.What is the Vicky Rideout’s attitude towards the report findings?

A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful.

C. Positive. D. Worried.

4.To make children frequent readers, parents should ______.

A. improve their reading skills.

B. read as many books as possible.

C. set a good example to their children.

D. spend more time with their children.

Almost all of us have been there: A sense of uneasiness strikes us when we see the battery running low on the smartphone. While today’s smartphones enable us to surf the Internet, take pictures and play music, their limited, sometimes annoyingly short battery life has started to make people full of memories of early models. “My favorite phone of all time was a silver Nokia 6310i from the early 2000s. It may be primitive by today’s standards, but it could run for 17 days on a single charge,” wrote Daily Mail columnist David Derbyshire.

But scientists spend no time thinking about the past. They have built an aluminium (铝) battery which could be a cheap, fast-charging alternative to current designs.

You can squeeze, and practically bend it in half without breaking the packet. It is more environmentally friendly than alkaline (碱性的) batteries, and more safe than lithium (锂) batteries – it won’t catch fire “even if you drill through it”, as Hongjie Dai of Stanford University told The Telegraph. The battery is the work of a team led by Dai. And the best part is that it has a recharge time of around one minute.

However, at present, the only problem is that it produces just half the voltage (电压) of a typical lithium battery. But Dai explained they were setting about changing the voltage and energy density(密度)”. “Our battery has everything else you’d dream that a battery should have. I see this as a new battery in its early days,” he told The Telegraph.

1.How many advantages does the aluminium battery have according to the article?

A. 2 B. 3 C.4 D. 5

2.The passage suggests that _________________.

A. the aluminium battery catches fire easily if drilled

B. the aluminium battery still needs improving before it can be widely used

C. the aluminium battery is larger in size than alkaline batteries

D. scientists find it a real challenge to change the voltage of the aluminium battery

3.Which of the following can best summarize the passage?

A. A new battery in its early days.

B. A new trend in the smartphone market.

C. The annoyance short battery life causes

D. The invention of a new smartphone battery.

4.The last paragraph in the passage is probably followed by the paragraph about how to __________.

A. make the aluminium battery cheaper and more environmentally-friendly

B. lengthen the aluminium battery life

C. increase the voltage and energy density of the aluminium battery

D. charge the aluminium battery faster
