广西北海市2020高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（二）（2020高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：议论文话题：家庭教育词数：726时间：8Is gun play good or bad for children？For many years I emphasized its harmlessness.When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns，because they didnt want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals，I would explain how little connection there was.In the course of growing up，children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage thisOnetotwoyearolds，when they are angry with another child，may bite the childs arm without hesitation.But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right.However，they may pretend to shoot their mother or father，but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour arent to be taken seriously.In the 6to12yearold period，children will play an earnest game of war，but it has lots of rules.There may be arguments，but real fights are relatively rare.At this age children dont shoot at their mother or father，even in fun.Its not that the parents have turned stricter; the childrens own conscience has.In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger，but well broughtup children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.In other words，Id explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesnt really need to worry about producing a criminal.But nowadays Id give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.One of the first things that made me change my mind，several years ago，was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about.Her children were hitting each other much more than previously，without reason.When she talked to them，they would protest，“But thats what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a childrens TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀) of the former President，and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this.(I didnt so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike，“Id shoot him if I got the chance！”)These incidents made me think of other evidence that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence.We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants.At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views.And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories，in movies and on television.This doesnt necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations.I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled，from childhood on.To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other peoples rights than in the past.There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes.One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in childrens gun play.I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements.There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization.This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and selfcontrol on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past.We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了孩子们该不该玩玩具枪，并规劝人们尊重孩子、尊重法律，减少孩子的暴力性。1The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to_Acontrolling their aggressivenessBplaying with toy gunsCaggressive

I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm.
