Television now plays such an important part in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse. Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. But do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. They just sit comfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer needs to do nothing.[16]He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part Secondly, television keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. We get so used to looking at its movements, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its program is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.
16. What do we learn about the disadvantages of TV?
17. What does the speaker think about television?
18. What determines the value of television to society?
选项
A、TV is a convenient source of entertainment.
B、TV places the viewer in a completely passive position.
C、TV is too dependent on its pictures.
D、The quality of some TV programs is good.
答案
B
解析
本文分析了电视的利弊,分别提到了以下几个弊端:观看电视是被动接受的行为(即B);它使人产生依赖性;有些电视节目质量太差。C把表人的主语We偷梁换柱成了表物的TV,故不正确;D与文中的poor意思相反,而且这是说好的方面,故可排除;A是电视的优点(advantage),并非弊端(disadvantage),也不正确。good和convenient都是表肯定、积极意味的词,只要听清楚题目问的是disadvantage,就可以轻松地排除A和D。
