One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study,looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人) may watch lots of TV
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood.compared with an average of more than2hours for those who hadno education beyond high school. In the California study.children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,while those with no bedroom TV but home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores,it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. 21.According to the California study,the low-scoring group might A.have watched a lot of TV B.not be interested in math C.be unable to go to college D.have had computers in their bedrooms 答案A 解析推理判断题。第二段中描述的对加利福尼亚北部接近400名三年级学生的研究发现,卧 室里有电视的学生要比卧室里没有电视的学生考试分数低8分左右。据此推断这些学生考 试分数低的原因可能是看电视太多。故选A项。 22.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A.More time should be spent on computers. B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV. C.TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms. D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done 答案 解析细节理解题。倒数第二段提到卧室里有电视机,但家里没有电脑的孩子考试得分最低, 而卧室里没有电视机,但家里有电脑的孩子得分最高:最后一段的研究结论是这项研究虽然不 能证明是卧室内的电视机导致了孩子考试分数低,但为孩子卧室内不应该放电视机增加了证 据。据此判断不能在孩子卧室里放电视机。故选C项。 23.What would be the best title for this text? A.Computers or Television B.Effects of Television on Children C.Studies on TV and College Education D.Television and Children's Learning Habits 答案B 解析主旨大意题。第一段指出,几项有关电视对孩子的影响的研究结果表明:看电视过多会 对孩子的学习能力造成危害,甚至会减少孩子升入大学的机会。随后几段分别对几项具体调 查研究进行陈述,并针对观看电视与考试成绩、受教有程度之间的因果关系分别得出几个不 同的结论。概括全文可知,本文主要讲述的是电视对孩子的影响。故选B项。 B A food additive (is any substance that is added to food.Many people are put off by the idea of"chemicals in food".The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals.Natural substances like milk,as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market,can be described by chemical formulas.Some chemical substances are indeed harmful,but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances.Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided.But many natural chemicals,found in plants and animals,are harmful when eaten,and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food.Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike:vitamin C is vitamin C,whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange..Like“chemical”,“man-made”doesn't necessarily mean“not fit to eat' Food additives are used for many reasons.We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better.Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilise,thicken,harden,keep wet,keep firm,or improve the appearance of their products.Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious,give it a longer shelf life
