【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本篇文章為議論文。本文圍繞著電視仍然是世界上最有影響力的媒體說(shuō)起，并用事實(shí)進(jìn)一步證明了電視的存在會(huì)讓我們的生活越來(lái)越好
1.答案B。
【解析】詞義猜測(cè)題。由本句中the Taliban及1 in 5 Afghans had one可以猜測(cè)出，塔利班在政期間是對(duì)電視持反對(duì)態(tài)度，因此是禁止的。故選項(xiàng)B符合題意。
2.答案D。
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句中“pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families”可知，到2013年，世界上三分之二的家庭都將會(huì)有一臺(tái)電視。因此選D項(xiàng)。
3.答案A。
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide”可以推斷出，作者主要強(qiáng)調(diào)電視對(duì)人類生活積極的方面。故選A項(xiàng)
4.答案C。
【解析】主旨大意題。由第一段第二句“Television is still the most influential medium”及第三段第一句“Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women”及文章最后一段第二句“However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.”可知，本文主要講的是電視將會(huì)讓人們生活越來(lái)越好。由此可知應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。
閱讀理解。
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow u p ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
