Did you really give an honest answer? A recent study shows that people aren39。t totally truthful about their televisionwatching habits. The study in question was conducted at Ball State University in the US. Researchers there wanted to find out how much television people view according to their age. The study was paid for by a council associated with the Nielsen Company, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and puters,but the majority were television screens. There are three interesting things about this study. The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day. The second is that even with access to DVDs and internet videos, television is still the most popular media source. The third is that the amount of screenwatching people do is relatively the same from the ages of 1865. So, if everyone is watching television, why lie about it? Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the study39。s main researchers, says, “There39。s a social stigma for people who watch too much television. Sometimes, however, watching the latest reality show or the funniest sit gives coworkers and friends fun things to talk about.” Even if you do watch a lot of television, perhaps we can use this study as a reason to be honest with ourselves about how much time we spend in front of the television. I mean, after all, everyone else is doing it...(1)Why do people lie about how much TV they watch? A.Because the show they watched is not the latest.B.Because they may be laughed at by coworkers or friends.C.Because they don39。t want others to know what they watched.D.Because there39。s something negative attached to watching too much TV.(2)Which of the following is true according to the study? A.The most popular media source is the internet.B.18yearolds watch more TV than someone in their 60s.C.People are exposed to over than an hour of advertisement a day.D.Researchers say that people watch over 8 eight hours of television a week.(3)How could people feel to be considered as a couch potato? A.fortableB.ashamedC.excitedD.satisfied(4)What idea does the author mainly want to express with the article? A.what the effects of watching TV are.B.how much television we should watch every day.C.there are some interesting facts of watching TV.D.people lie about how much television they watch.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,作者分析了人們瞞報(bào)看電視的時(shí)間的原因。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“There39。s a social stigma for people who watch too much television. ”可知看太多電視,被認(rèn)為不光彩,由此推知,看電視太多與消極的東西聯(lián)系在一起,故選D。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day.”可知人們每天被暴露在廣告下的時(shí)間超過(guò)一小時(shí),故選C。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“There39。s a social stigma for people who watch too much television. ”可知看太多電視,被認(rèn)為不光彩,由此推知當(dāng)一個(gè)人被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)成天看電視的人,他會(huì)感覺(jué)很羞恥,故選B。(4)考查主旨大意。根據(jù)全文的主題句“A recent study shows that people aren39。t totally truthful about their televisionwatching habits.”可知這篇文章主要講了人們瞞報(bào)看電視的時(shí)間,作者對(duì)其中的原因進(jìn)行了分析,故選D?!军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇生活類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。9.Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you
