问题     If there’s one rule that most parents cling to in the confusing, fast-changing world of kids and media, it’s "No screens before age 2."
    As of today, that rule has been thrown out the window.
    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which first issued that recommendation back in 1999, has extensively updated and revised its guidelines for children and adolescents to reflect new research and new habits.
    The new guidelines, especially for very young children, shift the focus from WHAT is on the screen to WHO else is in the room. And in doing so, they raise some intriguing points about the future of learning from media
    For babies younger than 18 months, AAP still says no screens at all are the best idea—with one notable exception: Live video chat. Surveys indicate that families already popularly believe that "Face time doesn’t count", or at least that the benefit of virtual visits with grandparents or other relatives outweighs the potential cost of exposing babies to the laptop or smartphone.
    The AAP doesn’t cite positive evidence that infants actually get something out of this kind of "conversation", the way that they clearly do from live social interaction. But there’s some observational research that infants as young as six months old are emotionally engaged by playing live peekaboo (躲猫猫游戏) with Grandma online.
    For infants and toddlers (学步儿童), ages 15 months to 2 years old, there’s limited evidence from a couple of very small studies that they can learn new words from educational media, if and only if parents are watching alongside them, repeating what the video says and/or drawing attention to what is on the screen. In other words, treating a video or an app like a picture book is the best bet.
    The flip side of this is that many studies have actually shown poorer language skills correlated with earlier solo viewing of "educational" videos. There’s also research that shows language delays in children who watch more TV and start watching earlier. In both cases, the problem seems to be media replacing interaction with people. For this reason, the new AAP guideline has changed from "avoid all screens under age 2" to "avoid solo media use in this age group."
    For preschoolers ages 2 to 5, there’s more evidence that they have the ability to transfer knowledge from screens to the real world, including early literacy and math. For this age group, AAP recommends no more than an hour a day of screen use. And, just as with younger children, they want care-givers to take part in screen time: "Co-view with your children, help children understand what they are seeing, and help them apply what they learn to the world around them."
What do we learn about the "No screens under 2" rule?
选项 A、It has met more and more resistance from parents.
B、It has proved helpful to children’s healthy growth.
C、It confuses parents with regard to kids’ education.
D、It has been discarded in line with recent research.
答案D
解析 根据题干中的“No screens under 2”rule定位至第1段。题目询问我们可以了解到关于“2岁前不要接触屏幕”这条规则的什么信息。第1段提到“No screens under 2”是多数父母会坚持的一条规则。第2段进一步指出，这条规则在今天已经被抛到九霄云外了。第3段接着提到美国儿科学会为反映新研究成果，大幅更新和修订针对儿童和青少年的指南。可见，父母的教育观念、研究发现都在更新，与时俱进，D项“这条规则已被摒弃以契合最新研究结果”符合文意。A项“越来越遭到父母的抵制”、B项“被证明有助儿童的健康成长”属于无中生有，选项中resistance from parents、healthy growth找不到原文依据，可排除。C项“让父母对孩子的教育感到困惑”利用第1段出现的confusing制造干扰，文中说的是孩子和媒体的世界纷繁复杂(confusing)、瞬息万变，而且文章也没有提到父母在教养孩子方面的困扰，故排除C项。
