PALO AITO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week.

A study of 192 third and fourth grades, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91 kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.

“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(兒科專家) at Stanford University.

“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said.

In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.

Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.

“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around and burning off calories,” Robinson said.

“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson added.

The purpose of the first two paragraphs is ______.

A. to report the time children spend watching TV

B. to show that more TV time leads to getting fatter

C. to tell us the best way to reduce weight

D. to introduce the background of the research

According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV ____.

A. is more than four hours a day       B. is less than four hours a day

C. doubled in the last twenty years      D. is more than on any other activities

The time the 100 children spend on TV every day is about _______ in the study.

A. a quarter of an hour  B. four hours         C. three hours        D. one hour

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?

A. Weight increase owes to the result of a reduction in TV viewing.

B. The percentage of children getting fatter has doubled in the last 20 years.

C. Children usually eat less while watching TV.

D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.

The main idea of the passage would be ______.

A. less TV time helps reduce children’s weight

B. fewer meals is a must in reducing children’s weight

C. the less you eat, the thinner you will be

D. more exercise is of great benefit to reduce weight

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆山東省濟(jì)寧市高一下學(xué)期3月月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:單項(xiàng)填空

When I was 11, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. In the end, I became so angry that I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.

“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. 

1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint? 

A.He told her not to pay any attention to whatever”enemy”had said.

B.He criticized (批評(píng)) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

C.He told her to write down all that her” enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.

D.He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

2. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

A.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.

C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?

A.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.

B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wantedto show this by keeping silent for a while.

C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.

D.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.

4. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

B.Not an Enemy,but the Best Friend

C.My Father

D.My Childhood
