• 2．Children's average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes at age 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years，according to an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health（NIH）.By age 8，children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had been in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.
     "Our results indicate that screen habits begin early，" said Edwina Yeung，an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development（NICHD）."This finding suggests that interventions（干涉） to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early."
     In the research，mothers of 4，000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were 12，18，24，30，and 36 months of age.
     The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age，introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly，and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age.In the current study，researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding（超过） these recommendations.However，while screen time increased throughout toddlerhood，by age 7 and 8，screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day.The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.
     The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3.The first group，73% of the total had the lowest increase，from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day.The second group，27% of the total，had the highest increase，from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day.Higher levels of parental education were associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.
  
  （1）Who use mobile device longest according to the NIH's analysis？

  
  A．10-year-old born to first-time mothers.
  B．3-year-old children in low income families.
  C．8-year-old children in home-based childcare.
  D．1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.
  （2）What does the research suggest according to Edwina？

  
  A．Parents should stop their children using media.
  B．Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.
  C．Parents should reduce their children's screen time earlier.
  D．Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy（婴儿期）.
  （3）Why does children's screen time fall when they age 7 and 8？

  
  A．They are studying at school.
  B．They can control themselves.
  C．They are tired of using them.
  D．They are forbidden to use them.
  （4）Which of the following may be the best title？

  
  A．Keep Away from Media
  B．Screen Habits Begin Early
  C．Urgency of Parental Education
  D．Harm of Home-based Childcare

• 3．Due to the effects of climate change，new species of birds are coming to the UK.A recent study by the RSPB and Durham University has found that European birds have been migrating further north by an average of 300 miles.While fewer birds，such as the tufted duck，are returning for the winter months，there has been an increase in other species as they seek a new holiday home or a quiet stop-off!
     It's thought that in the UK，we will gain many more species than we'll lose through climate change -a 3°C change won't affect the migrations of most birds，so birds such as robins，blackbirds，blue tits and greenfinches will still be regular visitors to our gardens.Climate change has been affecting domestic birds though-the Dartford warbler，a species that was literally down to just a couple of pairs in the UK in the 1960s，has been spreading further north from it's traditional home in south-east England.Other birds such as green woodpeckers and nuthatches have already been regular visitors to the country，but have now started to spread further north，with some even going as far as northern England.
     Scops owls have also been regular visitors，mostly in the south of Engljye.ai.And over the next 50 years or so，these visitors will eventually start to settle in the UK as they continue to breed and adapt themselves to the conditions.
     Other birds are，for the moment，just passing through on their migration，using the UK as a pitstop.The exotic-looking hoopoe - a striking black-and-white-winged bird，the size of a mistle thrush----regularly passes England's south coast and，although it doesn't breed here，up to 100 of them can turn up during the spring.
     As climate change continues，there's nothing to suggest that these birds won't continue to breed northwards during the next decade and spotting them will become a regular occurrence throughout the country.
  
  （1）What can we infer from paragraph 2？

  
  A．There are fewer birds in the UK due to the climate change.
  B．Birds won't be affected by temperature change within 3°.
  C．It may get warmer than before in the north of the UK.
  D．Birds in the UK don't need migrations any more.
  （2）Which birds are expected to live in the UK in the future？

  
  A．Scops owls.
  B．Robins.
  C．Dartford warbler.
  D．Hoopoe.
  （3）What does the underlined word "pitstop" in paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Garage.
  B．Gas station.
  C．Resting place.
  D．Nest.
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．Birds visit the UK regularly in winter.
  B．Climate change is affecting the population and migrations of birds in the UK.
  C．Birds start to inhabit the northern parts of the UK.
  D．The population of birds in the world is on the increase due to the climate change.
