【优化方案】2015届高考英语一轮复习第一部分基础考点聚焦Unit4 Astronomy the science of the stars单元检测同步探源新人教版必修3Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2014·成都高中毕业班第一次诊断)Young children are trusting of commercial advertisements in the media，and advertisers have sometimes been accused of taking advantage of this trusting outlook.The Independent Television Commission，regulator of television advertising，has criticized advertisers for “misl eadingness” in an effort to control advertisers’ use of techniques that make it difficult for children to judge the true size，action，performance，or construction of a toy.Fantasy is one of the common techniques in advertising that could mislead young audi ence.In children’s advertising，advertisers are more likely to include fantasy than advertisements aimed at adults.In a content analysis of Canadian television，the author Stephen Kline observed that nearly all commercials for character toys featured fantasy play.Children have strong imaginations and the use of fantasy brings their ideas to life，but children may not be adept enough to realize that what they are viewing is unreal.Fantasy situations are frequently used to attract children’s attention，particularly in food advertising.Advertisements for breakfast have been found to be especially fond of fantasy techniques.Generally，there is uncertainty as to whether very young children can distinguish between fantasy and reality in advertising.The use of pop stars such as singers and movie stars is common in advertising.The intention is for the positive qualities of pop stars to be transferred to the advertised product and for the two to become linked in audience’s mind.In children’s advertising，the pop stars are often vivid figures from popular cartoons.In recent years，the role of pop stars in advertising to children has often been combined with the concept of host selling.Host selling involves advertisements with regular programming in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish one from the other.Host selling occurs，for example，when a children’s show about a cartoon lion contains an advertisement in which the same lion promotes a breakfast.The psychologist Dale Kunkel shows that the practice of host selling has reduced children’s ability to distinguish between advertising and the program material.Meanwhile，he also shows some other tricky advertisements.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。

B(2014·吉林省长春市高中毕业班第一次调研测试)When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?Parents who take their young children to music，swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But i t doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way，especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same level，at least for a while.“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they’re doing and what they like，”said art teacher Pyper Dixon.However，finding something new in common is a big choice for them，especially when kids get involved in sports and other after­school activities.But it’s possibleto learn a new skill or hobby，together.That’s certainly true of Lauren，11，from Silver Spring，who is in Dixon’s class with her father，Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off，”Dennis said，“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute，”she said.“But then he’ll turn around to do amazing drawings，”she a dded.“We have different styles of drawing，so it’s interesting to talk it over with him.”Without the Saturday morning art class，Dennis said，he would be reading the paper，and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I can’t think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，”he said.【文章大意】父母应与孩子一起参与有意义的活动，通过和孩子一起学习、运动等，可以增加与孩子交流的机会，从而增进感情。
