為了讓考生在寒假更能做好練習(xí)，以下是小編整理的寒假練習(xí)題，希望對(duì)大家有所幫助。
They're still kids, and although there's a lot thatthe experts don't yet know about them, one thingthey do agree on is that what kids use and expectfrom their world has changed rapidly. And it's allbecause of technology.
To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them,their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技術(shù)的) Millennialelders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblingsdon't quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassingsensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation.
The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologistLarry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in anew book, Rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month.Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is sodifferent from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting theNet Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbedthe "ingeneration".
"The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it's also a mind-set, and the mind-set goeswith the little ‘i', which I'm talking to stand for 'individualized'," Rosen says. "Everything isdefined and individualized to ‘me'. My music choices are defined to ' me'. What I watch onTV any instant is defined to ‘me'. " He says the iGeneration includes today's teens and middle-school ers, but it's too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger.
Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. "If they can think of it, somebodyprobably has or will invent it," he says. "They expect innovation."
They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use "will be able to be tailoredto their own needs and wishes and desires."
Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allowthem to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected-even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.
Many researchers are trying t6 determine whether technology somehow causes the brainsof young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform morepoorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens survive distractions much betterthan we would predict by their age and their brain development. "
Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educationalsystem has to change significantly.
"The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential(指數(shù)的), and werun the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how theythink," Rosen says.
"We have to give them options because they want their world individualized. "

參考答案
56.A)。本題考查“自我的一代” “千禧年一代”的區(qū)別。由定位句可知，“自我的一代”與他們的千禧年一代的哥哥姐姐們相比，更愿意持續(xù)不斷地與他人保持聯(lián)系，也希望隨時(shí)能讓別人找得到他們。由此可推斷，他們?cè)敢馔ㄟ^高科技手段與他人隨時(shí)保持聯(lián)系，因此A)是本題答案。
57.B)。本題考查羅森將新的一代命名為“自我的一代”的原因。該段前兩句引述拉里羅森介紹“自我的一代”的話，點(diǎn)明了這代人的特點(diǎn)，即高科技是這代人的典型特征，它也是種心態(tài)，這種心態(tài)隨 “小我”而變化，即“個(gè)性化”也是鮮明特點(diǎn)，表現(xiàn)為每件事都為“我”而定制，或每件事都被賦予個(gè)性化特征。 由此可見，這代人強(qiáng)調(diào)個(gè)性化的生活，因此B)是本題答案。
58.D)。本題考查關(guān)于“自我的一代”的論述哪項(xiàng)是正確的。由該段可知，對(duì)這代人而言，便攜是關(guān)鍵。他們離不開無線裝備，那些東西可使他們發(fā)短信或聊天，可以時(shí)刻與他人保持聯(lián)系。由此可見。這一代人離不開無線高科技產(chǎn)品，因此D)是本題答案。
59.C)。本題考查科技對(duì)“自我的一代”的影響。由定位句可知，他們本來應(yīng)該受到干擾，表現(xiàn)應(yīng)該糟糕.但研究結(jié)果表明這些十來歲的孩子比我們通過年齡和大腦發(fā)育而做出的預(yù)測(cè)要有更強(qiáng)的抗干擾能力。由此可推斷，科技并沒有對(duì)他們的心智發(fā)展產(chǎn)生明顯的負(fù)面影響，因此C)是本題答案。
60.A)。由該段可知，由于這代孩子在年幼時(shí)便深浸于科技之中，那么教育制度也要隨之進(jìn)行 顯著改變。由此可推斷，教育制度也應(yīng)適應(yīng)這代人，因此A)是本題答案。
