17.Daniel Anderson,a famous psychologist,believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems it doesn't really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb words and images (影像).Instead,they learn both explicit(明確的) and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation,such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading."A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads."Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,research suggests that it's the other way around."If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older,"Anderson says.Yet,people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However,by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally(傳統(tǒng)地) believed,Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

分析 本文敘述著名心理學(xué)家Daniel Anderson對孩子們看電視的看法,打破了以往人們認為看電視對孩子不好的想法.他認為孩子們看電視不知學(xué)到顯現(xiàn)出來的東西;父母陪孩子看電視,孩子可以學(xué)到更多知識;孩子看電視并沒有代替孩子閱讀,并沒有影響孩子的智商.
解答 56.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.可知孩子們通過看電視,可以學(xué)到顯性和隱藏的意義,因此不僅僅學(xué)到隱藏的意思.故選B.
57.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段的Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them"孩子們有父母陪著看電視理解的更多",故推斷教育節(jié)目最好是父母陪著孩子看.故選C.
58.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.可知父母的教育背景對孩子的閱讀有很強的影響.故選D.
59.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的"If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older"如果你年輕聰明,當你年齡大些的時候就會看電視看得越來越少.可知越是聰明的孩子越不沉迷于看電視,故選C.
60.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的Anderson suggests that television cannot condemned without considering other influences."Anderson認為不應(yīng)該按照常規(guī),不考慮電視的其他影響而去譴責(zé)電視"故推斷這篇文章的目的是呈現(xiàn)Anderson打破常規(guī)的想法,故選D.
點評 故事類文章在閱讀過程中,我們一直在某個線索的引導(dǎo)下,隨著作者的思路去了解一個故事或一件事情的始末,因此會感到比較輕松.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查學(xué)生對細節(jié)的辨認能力以及推理判斷能力. 閱讀故事類文章時,應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意,弄清主要情節(jié),立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖,根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象,從而達到解題的目的.
