Question

閱讀理解 　　A new study suggests that very young children who watch a lot of television may have attention problems later in school． 　　Children with attention problems cannot sit still or control their actions．They talk too much, lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks． 　　People with attention problems may suffer a condition known as Attention Deficit Disorder(A．D．D．)．Experts say the cause of A．D．D．involves chemicals in the brain．Teachers say many children in the United States are showing signs of disorder．Some education researchers have been saying for years that watching television at a very young age could change the normal development of the brain．For example, they say that children who watch a lot of television are not able to sit and read for an extended period of time． 　　The new study tested the idea that television watching by very young children is linked to attention problems by the age of seven．It involved more than 1300 children．There were two groups of children, ages one and three．Researchers at Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Washington reported the results in the publication Pediatrics(兒科)．They asked the parents how often the children watched television．The parents also described their children’s actions at the age of seven using a method that can tell if someone suffers Attention Deficit Disorder． 　　The children who watched a lot of television at an early age were most likely to have attention problems．Every hour of watching television increased the chances of having attention problems by about ten percent． 　　The researchers say that all the children with attention problems might not have A．D．D．But they still could face major learning problems in school．The findings support advice by a group of doctors that children under the age of two should not watch television． 　　One of the researchers says there are other reasons why children should not watch television．Earlier studies have linked it with children becoming too fat and too aggressive(好斗的)．Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to confirm the findings and better explain the cause and effect． 　　本文描述的是兒童看電視對他們以后的一些消極的影響。孩子過早地看電視或者看電視過多都會導致孩子記憶力難以集中，多動，好斗，容易忘事等等。 (1) The best title for the passage is ________． [　　] A． TV and Attention Problems B． Attention and Learning C． Disadvantages of Watching TV D． Causes of Attention Deficit Disorder (2) Children with attention problems may ________． [　　] A． control their actions B． sit and read quietly C． complete tasks easily D． talk a lot in class (3) Watching TV at an early age may cause all of the following problems EXCEPT ________． [　　] A． gaining weight B． being too aggressive C． poor eyesight D． Attention Deficit Disorder (4) What can be inferred from the passage?

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	這是一道歸納概括題。做這類題時要抓住題干所給的中心詞。如本題：選項A“電視與注意力的問題”，很顯然是講兩者之間有什么關系。選項B“注意力與學習”；選項C“看電視的弊端”，中心詞是“弊端”；選項D“注意力分散問題的起因”，中心詞是“起因”。就文章整體看，本文側重介紹了“兒童看電視對注意力所產生的不利影響”的情況。故A項為最佳選項。
(2)	這是文意理解題。從文章第二段可直接找到答案。
(3)	文章第三段指出：兒童看電視可能改變其大腦的發育，引起注意力的下降與紊亂。文章的最后一段講了看電視能使人發胖、變得好斗等兩個方面的情況。本文沒有提到兒童看電視對于視力的影響。
(4)	這是一道判斷推理題。根據文章最后一段的暗示可知：還需要做很多工作以確定所研究的成果和更好地解釋其原因與影響。故該題答案為A。
