Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2024·扬州一模) Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession (一连串,连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behaviour is nothing new. In fact, "binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behaviour and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with "you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode".
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we'll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections—binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, "The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move." If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The countless information and entertainment that televisions and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, "A little of what you fancy does you good."

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了疯狂刷剧现象的原因以及不良影响，呼吁读者看电视要节制。
1. C 写作手法题。根据第一段“Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession.”可知，第一段是通过给疯狂刷剧的行为下定义开始行文的。故选 C。
2. C 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with 'you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.'”可知，一旦剧集结束，许多平台将会显示弹出式窗口，并显示“您可能喜欢建议，或者会自动播放下一集”；据此可推测画线单词“automatically”意为“自动地”，与 naturally 意思相近。故选 C。
3. D 推理判断题。根据第四段“The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.”可知，为下一集等待一周的日子基本上已经一去不复返了，人们发现很难抗拒在家里或在路上看好几集的诱惑。据此可以推断，此处表示疯狂刷剧现象的严重，人们很难抗拒电视剧的诱惑。故选 D。
4. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much.”可知，作者建议人们看电视剧需要节制。故选 A。
