Passage 1　　There was a time  1 parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set.　　Now those  2 seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of personal computers under the tree. Convinced that computers are their key  3 success, parents are also frantically insisting that children  4 taught to use them on school as early as possible.　　The problem for schools is that when  5 comes to computers, parents don't always know best. Many schools are yielding to parental impatience and are purchasing hardware    6 sound educational planning so they can say, "OK, we've moved into the computer age." Teachers found themselves    7 in the middle of the problem--between parent pressure and wise educational decisions.　　Educators do not even agree  8 how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized educational materials that research has shown can be taught just as well  9 pencil and paper. Even those  10 believe that all children should have access to computers warn of potential dangers to the very young.　　The temptation remains strong largely because young children adapt so well  11 computers. First graders have been seen willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes.　　Not every school,  12 , can afford to go into computing, and that  13 yet another problem: a division between the haves and have-nots. Very few parents ask  14 computer instructions in poor school districts, in  15  there may be barely enough money to pay the teacher.

2.Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it1). Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B. Television has much influence on children.C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.2). In what ways do children suffer from television?A. They become the victims of social violence.B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D.

  • 第3题：

    A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England． This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads．
    Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed． Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school．
    The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school． The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school． But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster．
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in． Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6．50 a tenn．
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington． The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children． The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme．

If a child wants something in their kid's locker， they will prod and annoy their parents until they get what they want.（2）All it takes is a little suggestion from a single advertisement to send them on their way. （3） In a campaign entitled "Kids are the Star"， its employees were encouraged to pay special attention to children and to make sure they had a positive experience while eating at its restaurants. The reason for this， naturally， was not that the McDonald's corporation cared deeply about the well-being of children everywhere， but that the pester-power that children have is extraordinarily effective at bringing their parents back for more visits. The way that advertisers target children is simple big， bright lights， happy people and animated characters are all that is needed to encourage children to think a certain product is something they want. （4）They do not realize that Ronald McDonald is just a guy in a Costum and make-up， and that behind the counter of every McDonald's is a bunch of kids working in uncomfortable conditions for low pay. This poses a real moral dilemma for those who make the advertising decisions， or at least it should. （5）How do you say no to an opportunity to reach such a wide audience of children， who act as advertisers themselves when they encourage other children and their parents to buy a particular product？ 1.（）

    • A、While manipulating children into believing lies， especially encouraging them to eat unhealthy foods， is obviously bad， the purpose of business is to make money
    • B、The superficial reactions children get from eating McDonald's last about as long as they are at the place
    • C、McDonald's at one stage advised employees to specifically target children
    • D、Children are a prime target for advertisers and salesmen across the world
    • E、Anyone who has seen a child pester its parents knows the lengths children can go to
    • F、This is because children are naive； they genuinely believe what an advertiser tells them

    正确答案:D

    Passage 1　　There was a time  1 parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set.　　Now those  2 seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of personal computers under the tree. Convinced that computers are their key  3 success, parents are also frantically insisting that children  4 taught to use them on school as early as possible.　　The problem for schools is that when  5 comes to computers, parents don't always know best. Many schools are yielding to parental impatience and are purchasing hardware    6 sound educational planning so they can say, "OK, we've moved into the computer age." Teachers found themselves    7 in the middle of the problem--between parent pressure and wise educational decisions.　　Educators do not even agree  8 how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized educational materials that research has shown can be taught just as well  9 pencil and paper. Even those  10 believe that all children should have access to computers warn of potential dangers to the very young.　　The temptation remains strong largely because young children adapt so well  11 computers. First graders have been seen willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes.　　Not every school,  12 , can afford to go into computing, and that  13 yet another problem: a division between the haves and have-nots. Very few parents ask  14 computer instructions in poor school districts, in  15  there may be barely enough money to pay the teacher.

    3. to key to success成功的关键。
    4. be 空格前面使用了insist,表示“坚持认为”,因此从句需使用虚拟语气,谓语部分使用should+动词原形,should可以省略。
    5. it when it comes to sth.当说到……的时候,当涉及……的时候。

    12. however 上文中讨论了学校购置计算机等硬件,而本句讲到并不是所有学校都能支付得起这笔钱。因此空格处填入表示转折的however。

    14. for 在贫困地区,几乎没有哪位父母要求计算机教学。ask for是固定搭配,意为“要求”。
