Question

     Teenagers always spend hours in texting (發(fā)短信) ， communicating on Facebook (臉譜網(wǎng)) and playing video games. Some parents worry about their kids very much. But many of kids spend time sitting in front of TV too.      This comes an interesting question： Is Facebook really worse for teenagers than a TV series (電視連續(xù)劇) ？

   Douglas Gentile,a child psychologist (心理學(xué)家) and professor at Iowa State University,says texting,Facebook and video games are not bad. They are not better or worse than watching TV,although they do have different problems,such as cyberbullying (網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴 力) .

  But research shows that the more time kids spend in front of screens一TV or the Internet一the worse they did at school.

    Patti Rowlson,a mother of two,says this is still a topic of discussion in her house. She and her husband really don't know how to limit their kids when to watch TV or search the Internet.

     Professor Gentile said, “If sitting in front of the screen takes the place of doing their homework for too long,that will be bad. ”

導(dǎo)讀電視與電腦兩者對(duì)孩子的影響孰輕孰重是大家一直熱 議的話(huà)題，但是把過(guò)多的時(shí)間花費(fèi)在兩者上面勢(shì)必對(duì)孩子的 學(xué)習(xí)造成影響。

詳析

1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段“Douglas Gentile,a child psychologist”可知，他是一位兒童心理學(xué)家。故B項(xiàng)A psychologist studying kids 與原文信息一致。

2. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段“If sitting in front of the screen takes the place of doing their homework for too long,that will be bad. ”可知，Gentile 教授明確表態(tài)不 支持青少年在屏幕前花掉太多的時(shí)間。

3. A詞義猜測(cè)題。理解上下句可知，Patti Rowlson不知道如何限制他們。

4. B推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段可知，他們的孩子經(jīng)常上網(wǎng)和看電視。因此B項(xiàng)是正確的。

5. D主旨大意題。文章開(kāi)頭句提到“Teenagers always spend hours,in."，本文也多次提到 sitting in front of the screen。綜合理解全文可知，本文主要談?wù)摰氖乔嗌倌?的上網(wǎng)和看電視問(wèn)題。

這是一個(gè)含有賓語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句。賓語(yǔ)從句為“the + 比較級(jí)，the +比較級(jí)”結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“越•…•，就越……”。
