Ⅲ.[2010·辽宁卷] 阅读理解
Too much TVwatching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thirdgraders.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 grownups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26yearolds 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 26yearolds 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 than 2 hours for those who had no 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 who had 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.
31. According to the California study, the lowscoring 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
32. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A. Poorly motivated 26yearolds watch more TV.
B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15yearolds.
D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.
33. 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 highachieving students should be done.
34. 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
Ⅳ.补全对话
根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
—Mr. Evans, would you mind telling me why you're applying for a job in an office?

课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.A 考查冠词。第一空加the表示特指“英语的词汇”;mixture指“混合物,混合体”,是可数名词,因此前面加a。
2. D 考查连词。until意为“直到……时候”。句意:一个好的讲故事的人应该能够抓住听众的好奇心,直到故事结束。
3.D 考查非谓语动词。lose oneself in thought/sb be lost in thought意为“陷入深思”。故此处用过去分词形式作状语。
4. C 考查not until的强调结构。去掉it was 和第二个空,句子依然完整,由此可以判断这是一个强调结构,所以第二个空应该选择that,由此可以判断C项正确。句意:直到他那年从非洲回来,才遇到他想结婚的那个女孩。
5. A keep a record of记录下;hold a record保持一项纪录;make a record录制唱片。
6.B 考查固定搭配。be composed of意为“由……组成”。be made up of也有此意。
7.C 考查动词搭配。make a note of意为“记下”;compare notes意为“交换意见,交流看法”。
8.B 考查连词及时态。when在句中意为“这时”,“把钥匙忘在厨房桌上”是在“我意识到”之前发生的,所以要用过去完成时。
9. D it will be+时间+before…表示“还要很久才……”,故选D。
10.A “There is no way + 句子”表示“绝不会……”。由语境可以看出,由于交通高峰期司机不可能开得很快。因此说话者认为自己赶不上飞机了。
.我们大家熟悉的电影Titanic的主题歌My heart will go on 在世间再次奏响:一位富有爱心的妈妈的心脏在另一位慈母的胸腔中继续跳动……
11. B be in danger 在危险中,有……的危险。不做心脏移植手术的话,她的生命始终处在危险中。
12. A 母亲和女儿都知道找到做心脏移植手术所需的配型心脏几率很小。
13. A 找到和Maria血型相匹配(match)的心脏需要花费许多年的时间。replace代替; control控制; cooperate配合,合作。
14. C 由行文逻辑可知此处表示转折关系。然而(however)Carmen决心要挽救母亲的生命。
15. B 她不断地给全国各地的医院打电话联系。tour环游,巡游;interrupt打断。
16. C Maria从房间的一头走到另一头都很困难。根据语境可知,此处为walk(走)。
17. A 她瘫/跌倒在医院的一个角落(corner)里哭泣。其他三项均不符合语境。
18. B 她抽泣着向那个陌生人叙述了自己的遭遇(story)。
19. D make it
成功,为固定搭配,在此意为“活过”。
20. C Frank知道妻子Cheryl一直想捐赠(donate)自己的器官。save节省,积攒; recycle 回收,循环; separate分开。
21. A Cheryl的心脏能不能移植到Carmen母亲的身上呢?由上文可知Maria需要的是心脏移植。
22. A 仔细审核了数据后,医生们告诉/知(inform)Frank他妻子的心脏奇迹般地适合Maria。warn警告; celebrate 庆祝;remind提醒。
23. B a perfect fit非常完美的匹配。copy复制,副本; variation变异,变种。
24. B 她们能够实施/进行(carry out)心脏移植。give up放弃;search after探索; put off推迟,拖延。
25. D Cheryl被宣告(declare)死亡。notice注意到; predict预言;find找到。
26. A Maria正在为Frank的家人祈祷(pray)。beg祈求;decorate装饰;sing唱歌。
27. C 初次见面,他们相拥而泣的时候感觉到一种奇特的联系。
28. A 在新年前夕,Carmen和Frank的家人一起参加了Cheryl的葬礼(funeral)。operation手术; performance表演;anniversary周年纪念日。
29. B 在新年的那一天,拥有Cheryl心脏的 Maria在手术后醒来(woke up)。pass away去世,停止; leave behind落后; dress up打扮。
30. B Cheryl那颗富有爱意的心脏活在(be alive)另一个慈母的胸腔内。active积极的,活跃的;necessary必要的; changeable可改变的。
. 31.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.可得出答案。
32.D 细节理解题。根据第三段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.可以确定答案。
33.C 推理判断题。文章最后两段都是围绕儿童卧室不应该放电视机的问题展开叙述的。
34.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要通过两项研究分析了儿童看电视所造成的影响。文章第一段第一句话是主题句,所以B项作为标题是最佳的。
. 35.F 特殊疑问句类题型。面试官问:为什么要找一份在办公室的工作?据此可知答案为F,意为:作为一个音乐人谋生是艰难的(言下之意是要另找一份工作来谋生)。而下句说“我的意思是说大多数音乐人在白天都从事其他的工作”,也印证了此项为最佳答案。
36.E 陈述句类题型。面试官说“我有点担心你搞音乐可能会干扰你在办公室的职责履行”,下句应试者说“我时常晚上工作,但是这个工作要上午十点才上班,不是吗”,应试者是想表达他做音乐的事不会影响现在的这份工作。故选E。
37.D 特殊疑问句类题型。根据下句应试者所说“我得接电话,做预约”可知面试官是想了解他在做上一份工作时都做些什么事情。故选D(你在那儿的职责是什么)。
38.G 陈述句类题型。上句面试官说应试者会是办公室中唯一的男性,下句应试者说没什么大不了的,因此选G,解释他能适应与众多女性相处的原因。
39.A 单纯交际用语类题型。根据上句You'll be hearing from us in a day or two.应试者可直接回答All right(好的)。
