20、,故选D项。2.C细节理解题。根据第三段第二句The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day.可知,每人每天看电视接触广告的时间超过一个小时,故选C项。3.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的描述可知,每天看电视达到五六个小时的人会被称作是“沙发上的土豆”,社会观念认为过多看电视是一件不光彩的事情。由此推断出如果被人们看作是“沙发上的土豆”的话,那是一件羞耻的事情,故选B项。4.D主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的A recent study shows that people ar
