Ⅲ.阅读理解(8 min.)(2012·师大附中一模)Back in the old days, and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.
We listened to each other and the interest was not put璷n; yit was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and ?we were erven willing to admit — we loved each other.
Today, the family round table has moved to the local fast璮ood restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.
Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now
the voice on long distance, and the working parent_ is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager fouryearold.
So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as “What have you been doing, Bobby？” have been replaced by “I'm busy, count them by the millions.
But it's usually not children's television that children watch. Saturday morning, the children's hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.
Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. That's where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p. m．， not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.
Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.
Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond!
Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to intervene. Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.
1. From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writer's a attitude towards “the old days” is ______.
A. preferringB. hating ent is not willing to listen to her (his) fouryearold child talking about his sandbox games because she (he) is ______.

B. very tired
C. busy
D. angry3. According to the writer, s watching adult television and watching it for a long time should be undertaken by ______.
A. the television stations
B. the society
C. TV programs
D. their parents
4. If we use television with some ______， television can provide our young people with much knowledge.
A. instruction of experts
B. judgment of our own
C. direction of engineers
D. indication of teachers
5. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Parental nonintervention will not be praised.
B. Nonintervention may be a good policy in international affairs.
C. Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the children.
D. Parents need to intervene.

名词性从句(2)
1. C 句意：有一半的学生认为，如果把受侮辱的情况告诉老师，根本不起什么作用。此题考查宾语从句的省略。当宾语从句中还含有其他从句时，引导词that不能省略。
2. D 句意：3年的高中生活使他懂得高中生的生活是多么的艰难。动词know后接的宾语从句本身是一个感叹句，空格后情态动词，只能作动词谓语，可见从句缺主语，那就只能把选项中的某个名词life用作主语，可见被感叹的是形容词tough，只能用how。
3. D 句意： 孩子们今天在家里所见到的将会对其成为家长后的行为有深远的影响。第一个是主语从句，第二个是宾语从句。
4. D 句意：你的情感由你控制，所以别让侮辱之事使你觉得自己像一个受害者一样。根据后一个分句可知，前面提到的是情感的表现方式。
5. D 句意：这样做，学校是想给学生一个自由发展的机会。这是一个表语从句，引导词本身在从句中作表语，表示“人”。
6. D 句意：那些人常跟我讲，我所谈到的长胖的原因确实有道理。动词tell后接双宾语，所以这实际上是一个宾语从句，由于宾语从句中还含有另外的从句，因此这个that不能省略。在宾语从句中还有一个主语从句，引导词在主语从句中作动词saying的宾语。
7. B 句意：我想在本书中阐明的是，身体肥胖之研究在第二次世界大战之后就失去了方向。引导主语从句，在从句中作动词make的宾语。固定搭配make sth. clear。
8. B 句意：我们正在仔细地考虑这个计划以便能决定是否需要采取措施。动词decide后的宾语从句只能由whether引导。
9. C 句意：重要的是每个政府都要懂得生活在该地区的人们之所需。第一空是主语从句，it是形式主语，后面的that从句是真正的主语从句；第二空是宾语从句，引导词在从句中作动词want and need的宾语。
10. A
11. A 在否定句及疑问句中，当doubt后的从句所作陈述被认为是真的时，用that，例如本题。句意：我相信这计划会被充分领会。
12. C 第一空________ the bridge is supposed to be built 用at which引导一个定语从句；第二空________ the crossriver traffic is the heaviest 用where引导表语从句。
13. A it为形式主语，how从句为真正的主语。what matters much (＝the thing that matters much)为主语从句。how he lives为表语从句。
14. A that引导同位语从句，在从句中无意义，也不作句子成分；which引导定语从句应作句子成分，引导名词性从句表示“哪一个”；用until意义不通，用if则应为if Bill recovers from…
15. B 句意：作为一名新毕业生，他不知道需要什么才能在这里开始经营。空格后的从句中takes是动词，其后缺少宾语，所以引导该宾语从句的连接词要用what。
16. B 句意：一些人眼中的缺点是别人眼中的优点。从句中缺宾语，只能用what来引导，that引导主语从句不作成分。
17. B 句意：尽管大约有两千名病人服用过这种药物，但是，它会带来什么样的副作用还不确定。side effect意思是“副作用”，还原主语从句中的主干是the medicine will bring about ________ side effect。故选择what，形容词“什么样的”，起修饰作用。
18. B 句意应为“在大甩卖开始前，我把孩子们在下个季节里要用到的东西列了一份清单。”分析句式结构可知，空格处在句中引导宾语从句且在从句中充当need的宾语，所以B项结构正确。which 引导名词性从句时多表示疑问且要有一个明确的范围。
19. B 考查介词后的宾语从句。句意“一个人旅游多么享受很大程度上取决于他和谁去，无论是他的朋友还是亲戚。” 根据句末的 whether his friends or relatives可知应是和谁去，故选B。
20. D 句意：我们还没有讨论把我们的新家具放在哪里。根据选项可知此题考查从句。题干中空格在动词discuss的后面，因此考查宾语从句，根据句意在宾语从句中缺少地点状语，因此选择D。
21. C 句意：近些年，地球变得越来越暖，这使得许多科学家十分烦恼。间隔式同位语从句的用法。即the fact 和that引导的同位语从句，中间隔了谓语部分。
22. C whoever既作了to的宾语，又作is in charge of International Sales please的主语。
23. C 在该题中that引导了一个同位语从句来解释说明news的内容，由于该题把同位语从句后置了，所以很多考生由于不能正确分析句子结构而错误选择了D项。
24. C 该句中they hope是插入语，故“will be the best means of transport in the 21st century”。实际上是create的宾语，且缺少宾语从句的连接词，并且该连接词要指物且在从句中作主语，what可以起到该作用。
25. A 句意：当被问到他们最需要什么时，孩子们说他们想让别人觉得他们是重要的，希望被爱。what引导宾语从句，且what在从句中作needed的宾语。
26. D 由句式结构可以判断the party is to be held是get any idea的同位语，故空格处应为同位语从句的引导词，且该从句中句子成分完整，但语意不完整，故应选择D项，表示地点。
27. D 考查宾语从句。句意为：这个项目要求人们意识到：人生而具有梦想，人人都有活下来实现这些梦想的权利。当一个动词后接两个宾语从句时，这两个宾语从句是并列的关系，而且从第二个宾语从句起的引导词that不能省略。此处两个宾语从句是递进的并列关系而不是转折或相反。故选D。
28. D 考查名词性从句。这是一个同位语从句，先行词为The story，与从句被谓语动词goes分隔。
29. A 考查名词性从句。全句意为：“药物在人体内是如何产生作用的仍然是一个问题，并不是每个人都能充分理解。”how引导主语从句； that 引导同位语从句。
30. A 句意：每年夏天这儿的海边都吸引大量的游客。温暖的阳光和柔软的沙滩使海边成了现在的样子。what引导宾语从句，且what在从句中作表语，意为“……的(东西)”
