高一英語上冊Unit2基礎鞏固試題講解
4. we can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
a. people with great creativity tend to be happier
b. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
c. too much happiness can be bad for your career
d. the happiest people are the most successful ones
解析：選b。推理判斷題。從文中最后一段可知，一些偉大的藝術家、作家和音樂家都有過沮喪的經歷，并且科學家們還發現那些有沮喪跡象的人更善于做創造性的工作。由此可知b項正確。c項是文中的原句，不是推理出來的內容。

(XX年浙江嘉興檢測)today，i read an interesting article about television viewing. in one experiment，families were paid to stop watching tv for either a week or a month. many could not complete the task and some families quarrelled or even fought. it was quite interesting and now i will say something about tv.
after tv became a product most families could afford，people bought and started to watch their new tvs. both adults and children became less creative in problem solving，less able to focus on tasks，and less tolerant of flexible time.
in my family，we grew up with the tv on. every weekend，we watched gun smoke and bonanza together as a family. tv provides us with a comfortable background when we want to learn a foreign language at home, and it entertains us cheaply with live action sports，incomparable performing arts and important events of the world. in addition，it educates us about everything from the cells in our body to the galaxies in the universe.
perhaps it’s not even practical to live without television unless our views change unexpectedly as we get older. i don’t think that tv damages us so much as it robs us of time that could be spent doing other things such as learning new skills，getting some exercise or doing volunteer work.
i was lucky to have a family that watched tv together. today there seems to be a tv in every room of the house and there’s no need to agree on a program to watch. to watch tv or not is more of a question for adults than for us，and even though we all say we want to cut down the time we spend in front of the tube，we never really do. tv_has_us_hypnotized!
【解題導語】 電視越來越走進人們的生活，給人們帶來了很多負面的影響，而作者卻不這么認為。
5. the experiment in paragraph 1 shows ________.
a. how interesting watching tv is
b. how much people like watching tv
c. whether people like watching tv
d. why people give up watching tv
解析：選b。考查細節理解。根據文章第一段“many could not complete the task and some families quarrelled or even fought”可知人們在實驗過程中，因為在一段時間沒有看電視，而引發危機，足以說明人們對電視的依賴程度，所以選擇b。
