Question

【题目】The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids. 【1】 Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what’s appropriate for our family:

Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn’t a big issue if you’re not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.” 【2】

Don’t trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn’t take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 【3】 There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.

【4】 The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I’m aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention(干涉).

Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can’t shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn’t fit exactly with our values. They’re going to hear a swear word from time to time—and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we’re watching are kissing. 【5】

A. If it doesn’t feel good, turn it off.

B. And be aware of cartoons!

C. We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

D. The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

E. But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?

F. Watch TV with them.

G. Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。对孩子来说，电视的魅力是毋庸置疑的。为了减少孩子沉迷于电视的时间，我们想出了三个适用于家庭的方法。

【1】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句介绍说电视对孩子们的吸引力非常大，下句说我们队解决这个问题提出了几点意见，中间缺少一个承前启后的成分，E选项内容But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?提出问题，刚好符合语境，故答案为E。

【2】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。第一个建议：控制孩子看电视的时间。前句介绍说最好的方法就是鼓励孩子出去玩，G选项内容Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun.非常完美的承接了上文，故答案为G。

【3】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下句说，很多成人卡通片中含有不健康的内容，B选项内容刚好将话题转到cartoon上，符合题意。

【4】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后文I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids“我想先允许他看电视，然后和我的孩子一起看。”可知本段说的是父母如果实在拗不过孩子，可以陪同孩子一起看。F选项符合内容，起统领全段的作用。

【5】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段的主题为Talk about the show with your kids.“和孩子们讨论电视节目”，上句介绍说孩子们看电视时会听见角色说出的誓言，看见主角们接吻，此时家长应该用自己的见闻与孩子们交流沟通，选项C符合题意。
