Television has now come to nearly every family. It has played a very important part in people's life. School-age children in the US watch TV about 25 hours a week.
Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education， children do better in schools. Other people feel that there are too many programs about love and crime on TV, and that even programs of education don't help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television，so they don't do a lot of other important things for their education. Children of three to six learn to speak their language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language，and they aren't talking with anyone. When school-age children watch TV, they read less. Because of this，they don't learn to read or write quickly in schools.
All children learn by doing，and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to communicate with their parents and friends，and they have less time for sports.
Recently，fifteen families in Denver have decided to stop watching TV for a month. At first it was difficult，but there were soon a lot of good changes. The children read, played and exercised more, and the family became full of joy. But at the end of the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. No family was able to give up watching TV completely.

[考點]推理判斷題
【精析】D 根據(jù)第二段前兩句“…it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education, children do better in schools.”可知，一些人認(rèn)為電視對兒童有益，因為兒童可以通過電視了解自己的國家和這個世界，教育類節(jié)目也可以幫助兒童在學(xué)校表現(xiàn)更好。由此可推知，一些人認(rèn)為電視對兒童有好處，是因為兒童可以通過電視學(xué)到一些有益的東西。故選D。

【精析】B 根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“When school-age children watch TV, they read less. Because of this, they don't learn to read or write quickly in schools.”可知，當(dāng)學(xué)齡兒童看電視時，他們讀書就少了，因此，他們在學(xué)校就無法快速學(xué)會閱讀和寫作。故選B。

A.People can not live without television.
B.Only through television can children learn about the world.

【參考答案】D
[考點]事實細(xì)節(jié)題
【精析】D 根據(jù)最后一段中列舉的例子可推知，人們在沒有電視的情況下依然可以生活，所以A項不正確;根據(jù)第二段第一句“Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world.”和第三段第一句“…they need time to play in order to learn about the world.”可知，兒童可以通過電視來了解世界，還可以通過玩耍的方式來了解這個世界，所以B項說法太過絕對;根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第三句“When they are watching TV…they aren't talking with anyone.”可知，當(dāng)兒童看電視時，他們只是在聽語言，他們不跟任何人說話，所以C項不正確;根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句“When school-age children watch TV, they read less.”和第三段第二句“When they watch TV, they play less.”可知，當(dāng)兒童看電視時，他們讀書和玩耍就少了，所以D項正確。故選D。
5.What is the author's attitude towards television?
A.Objective. B.Suspicious. C.Positive. D.Appreciative.
【參考答案】A
[考點]觀點態(tài)度題
【精析】A 通讀全文可知，作者在第一段指出“美國的學(xué)齡兒童看電視過多”這一現(xiàn)象;第二、三段陳述了不同的人對此現(xiàn)象的看法：一些人認(rèn)為電視對兒童有益，另一些人卻認(rèn)為電視對兒童有害;最后一段通過一個具體的事例表明：人們在沒有電視的情況下可以生活得很好，然而人們又不能完全放棄看電視。作者通篇都是在陳述有關(guān)電視的事實和不同的人對此的觀點，但并未發(fā)表個人的意見，因此作者對電視持客觀的態(tài)度。objective：客觀的，就事論事的;suspicious：持懷疑態(tài)度的，不信任的;positive：積極的，表示贊同的;appreciative：感激的，欣賞的。故選A。
