4.Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it1). Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B. Television has much influence on children.C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.2). In what ways do children suffer from television?A. They become the victims of social violence.B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB. commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC. commercials help to sell productsD. they don’t like commercials4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____A. it does have the same commercials as othersB. it offers programs for both children and their parentsC. many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational.C. Television’s Influence on Children.D. More Education Television.

    The Privileged Children

    Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
    Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
    It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
    "But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
    Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

    According to the passage,children of rich families_______.
    A:enjoy traveling
    B:can buy love
    C:usually commit suicide
    D:are not always happy

    答案:D
    解析:
    从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担,从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游,但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误:文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误:第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀,却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
    文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处,但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
    选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过,只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
    silver spoon是一个固定说法,并不真是指银子做的勺子,而是指财富,如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”,而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的,因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

    B

    Osmosis.

    C

    Taking every opportunity to teach character.

    D

    Roleplay.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节理解题。此题问的是塑造孩子性格的过程中所采取的方式不包括哪一项。浏览全文可以看出,只有A项“故事阅读和讨论没有提到”文中没有提到。所以选择A项。文中第二段提到“Of course there will always be learning by osmosis”,与B项相符。文中第四段开头提到“Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help…”,与C项相符。文中第三段提到“Allowing children to role play a situation”,与D项相符。

    Which of the following main messages was conveyed in this passage?
    A

    An inspiring idea to liberalize transpacific trade hinges on the courage of America and, especially, Japan.

    B

    TPP is meant to engage and incorporate China, rather than constrain it.

    C

    The farming and health care industries in Japan would be severely affected by the TPP.

    D

    TPP as a Washington-led sideswipe at China will win support in Japan and add to a more liberalized Asia-Pacific region.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    主旨题,从全文来看,本文旨在说明要建立TPP,美国和日本需要作出不懈努力,特别是日本。文章在简单介绍了在火奴鲁鲁召开的“a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders”和“TPP”的优势之后,在第三段提到要创建“a wider TPP”还需要很长的路要走,作为创建者,Mr. Obama和Yoshihiko Noda需要表现出更强的领导力。之后文章分别阐述了日本和美国需要作出的努力。例如Mr. Noda需要协调党派之间和党内反对派,以及民众的呼声;还需要争取时间以便使日本神圣的“farming and health care industry”做调整。美国也需要作出相应改变,比如从文章倒数第二段可以看出,奥巴马必须忍受国内汽车工业联合会对于和日本贸易不公的抱怨,同时也要强调TPP意图“engage and incorporate”中国而非“constrain it”。但是相对于日本,“costing America little”。由此可知,A选项说放宽泛太平洋地区贸易的想法,源自于美国、尤其是日本的勇气是正确的。

    正确答案: B
