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 ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年輕人）may watch lots of TV.

    Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an average of less than two hours of TV per week night 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

  64. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.

    A. have watched a lot of TV

    B. not be interested ted in math

    C. be unable to go to college

    D. have had computers in their bedrooms

65. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

    A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.

    B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.

    C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.

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

66. 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. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms,

    D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done

67. 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

64. A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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。

65. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and  don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年輕人）may watch lots of TV.可以確定答案。

66. C。推理判斷題。注意最后一段開(kāi)頭的while是“盡管”的意思，所以這兩段都是圍繞兒童臥室不應(yīng)該放電視機(jī)的問(wèn)題。

  67. B。主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章主要通過(guò)兩項(xiàng)研究分析了兒童看電視所造成的影響。文章第一段第一句話是主題句，所以B項(xiàng)作為標(biāo)題是最佳的。

On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms (節(jié)奏)。In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to fell her the time. She’d had no clock or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day. She had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 17lbs in weight as a result! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁).

This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read books and listened to music. She'd also learned French from tapes.

 The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature, For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, People are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10;00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

 (10·遼寧A篇)

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲(chóng)劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

 (10·遼寧B篇)

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, '“I’m  having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.

    But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.

    For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club

 60. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

    A. Choice.       B. Try          C. Style.            D. Goal

61. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

    A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.

    C. The bill is not fairly shared.           D. People have to pay cash

62. What does the author think of the parties in London?

  A. A bit unusual     B．Full of tricks.    C．Less costly.     D More interesting.

63. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？

    A. Easy-going.    B. Self-centred.    C. Generous.    D. Conservative.
