解析:

1. D。全文主旨是講希望的力量。

2. C。that time指他在牢獄的7年時(shí)間。

3. C。根據(jù)后面的“shutting out the light”可知他完全生活在黑暗中。

4. C。根據(jù)后面可知，窗戶(hù)被擋住了。

5. C。根據(jù)下文可知，他也有覺(jué)得忍無(wú)可忍的時(shí)候，因此這里是表示他不確定自己能否撐得過(guò)去。

6. B。根據(jù)句中的But可知，他有時(shí)除了尖叫，什么事都干不了。

7. C。根據(jù)文章第一段首句中的“spent seven years as a prisoner of war”及下文中的情景可知，此處指他不想讓敵人(enemy)感到滿意。

8. D。敵人擋住了窗戶(hù)，是為了在精神上折磨Ted，因此這里選D，指精神上的跨掉。

9. C。as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，表示他在尖叫時(shí)往嘴里塞上衣服以減弱發(fā)出的聲音。

10. B。從下文的crawled under his bed可知，此處填floor。

11. A。let in意思是“允許……進(jìn)入”，符合語(yǔ)境：外面的空氣通過(guò)這個(gè)小洞進(jìn)入牢房。

12. A。根據(jù)后面“a small crack in the building”，可知僅有微弱的光透進(jìn)來(lái)。

13. B。Ted透過(guò)裂縫往外看。

14. D。根據(jù)前面的“though all he could see was”，可知這里表示他看到的僅僅是一塊草地。

15. A。這里應(yīng)選與與joy、excitement語(yǔ)境一致的詞。

16. D。小草在牢房外，意味著自由。

17. D。through暗含度過(guò)某種困境的意思。

18. B。根據(jù)后面的“nothing but a faint (微弱的) hope”，可知這里表示人的精神的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

19. C。run on表示“*……運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)”。

20. A。該句中的it指代上文提到的hope，該句的意思是：沒(méi)有希望，你什么都沒(méi)有；有了希望，別的任何東西都不重要。matter是不及物動(dòng)詞，意為“有關(guān)系，重要”

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.

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
