Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
When I was a child, I had to go to church and obey many other rules, though these rules at times caused resentment (怨恨). Perhaps the most extreme parenting decision my parents made for my four brothers and sisters and me was to create a home environment without a television.
We hated this decision at that time, because there was seemingly no way to keep this embarrassing fact a secret at school. Naturally, simple pleasures like cartoons, football games, and movies became huge novelties (新奇事物). I would go over to friends' or relatives' houses for that access alone.
When I reached high school, my parents bought a television, though it had no cable. However, I did spend most of my childhood in a home without a television. In fact not having a television did contribute a great deal to my skills, and it also forced me to develop other valuable interests. We grew up in a small town, so my brothers and sisters and I spent time exploring streets, fields and woods. And of course I read and wrote and studied, which pushed me toward a career path.
So would I give a similar situation to my own children if I had them? I doubt it, at least not in the most extreme sense. I'm too much of a football fan, not to mention the TV serials (连续剧) like The Wire. But television or almost anything for that matter is unhealthy for kids. It can prevent them from living a full life. So maybe a reasonable answer is no cable or no video-game systems or simply setting the time limit, but I haven't exactly worked out how to confine it yet. Although some people are against my idea, we do need limits after all.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）A
【解析】本文通过作者自己童年时期没有电视的健康成长的经历，指出电视对儿童成长有害，应该限制儿童看电视的时间。

⑴推理判断题。根据第三段第三句In fact not having a television did contribute a great deal to my skills（事实上，没有电视机确实对我的技能有很大的贡献）可知，作者认为没有电视机让他获益良多。故选C。

⑵推理判断题。根据最后一段中television or almost anything for that matter is unhealthy for kids. It can prevent them from living a full life.可知，作者认为电视或者那样的东西对孩子们不健康，能阻止孩子们过充实的生活。故选A。

⑶词义猜测题。根据最后一句So maybe a reasonable answer is no cable or no video-game systems or simply setting the time limit, but I haven't exactly worked out how to confine it yet.（因此一个合理的答案是没有电缆或没有电子游戏或仅仅设置时间限制，但我还没有确切地想出如何它）可知，没有电缆或没有电子游戏或设置时间限制都是为了“限制”，故上句中划线单词应该用limit代替，故选A。
