题目内容

Too much TV-watching 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 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 1000 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 ages5 and 15. These 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 1/2 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

1.According to the California study, the low-scoring group might_____

A. have watched a lot of TV

B. not be interested in math

D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain

试题分析：本文主要讲述一项关于电视对于孩子影响的新的研究，。研究有以下几个不同的结果。第一项研究发现，卧室里有电视的孩子比房间没有电视的孩子在数学和语言艺术分数会低八分。第二项研究结果是，在26岁的教育程度稍低的年轻人中，他们在童年看的电视更多。而在5岁至15岁的年龄间，上过大学的26岁人比没有上过大学的人，平均少看电视。而在加利福尼亚研究中，房间里有电视没有电脑的孩子得分最低，房间里有电脑没有电视的孩子得分最高。

1. 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。意思是：房间里有电视没有电脑的孩子得分最低，房间里有电脑没有电视的孩子得分最高。可知，房间里有电视的孩子，看电视更多。故选A。

After a heat discussion, our class has decided to recommend Li Hua as the Touching Figure On the Campus. We have several reason to believe he is qualified for the honor. First, Li Hua is always willing to offering us help whenever necessary. Besides, his great devotion to work as a monitor make our class a best place to study. However, it has impressed us most is his unconditional love to poor children. Last summer vacation, he volunteered to teach English in a small village, which has been inspired many other students to join in and thus helped open up a new world to those children as well.

All in all, his selfless love touches our heart and his action suggests that even small efforts should make difference to those in need. Therefore, we strong support Li Hua as the Touching Figure Campus.

BEIJING—Family planning officers will handle the illegal birth case of film director Zhang Yimou by following legal procedures, a government spokesman said on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.

When asked to comment on Zhang’s case at a press conference, Yao Hongwen, spokesman for the National Health and Family Planning Commission(NHFPC), said “Every citizen is equal before the law and nobody is allowed to have privileges（特权）to give birth to more children than allowed.”

Yao’s comment came after media stories claimed that Zhang had remarried and fathered a total of seven children: one with his former wife, three with his present wife, Chen Ting, and another three from two lovers.

“The NHFPC’s attitude towards citizens’ birth violations（违法）is consistent and clear. Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard the seriousness of laws and regulations.” NHFPC spokesman Yao Hongwen said.

China’s family planning policy, introduced in the late 1970s to slow down the country’s growing population, limits most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two. The policy was recently relaxed, allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.

Those who break the policy face severe fines. The amount of the fine is generally several times the yearly annual income of the two spouses（配偶）. Some media calculations put the fine that Zhang may face at as much as 160 million yuan(over $26 million).

Zhang’s birth case has caused criticism online about famous people who have more children than the policy allows.

In an open letter on December 1, Zhang admitted that the couple has two sons and daughter and they are willing to accept investigation and punishment according to China’s laws and regulations. He apologized to the public.

However, the letter denied that Zhang had lovers and was father to as many as seven children from various mothers.

Zhang, one of the “fifth generation” of Chinese filmmakers, made his first directorial work in 1987 with “Red Sorghum” and has won a number of award worldwide. He was chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.

1.The purpose of the news report is to ______________

A. inform us that Zhang’s illegal birth case will be dealt with by the government

B. claim that Zhang Yimou remarried and fathered a total of seven children

C. convince us that Zhang is a famous director and his case will be pardoned

D. confirm that Zhang’s illegal birth case has resulted in lots of criticism online

2.According to Yao Hongwen, which of the following statements is true?

A. Zhang will be fined as much as 160 million yuan for his violations.

B. Few people have the privileges to give birth to more children than allowed.

C. China’s family planning policy has never been relaxed since introduced.

D. Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard laws and regulations.

3.Judging from the recent relaxed policy, a couple_______________

A. can give birth to two children if one of them is an only child

B. will definitely be fined if they have two children nowadays

C. can have as many as three children if they live in a rural area
