11、re no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances.

20、ompany, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spent more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and computers, but the majority were television screens.There are three interesting things about this study. The first is that people are exposed
21、 to more than one hour of advertisements per day. The second is that even with access to DVDs and Internet videos, television is still the most popular media source. The third is that the amount of screen-watching people do is relatively the same from the ages of 1865.So, if everyone is watching tel
22、evision, why lie about it? Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the studys main researchers, says, “Theres a social stigma(羞耻) for people who watch too much television. Sometimes, however, watching the
23、latest reality show or the funniest sitcom gives co-workers and friends fun things to talk about.”Even if you do watch a lot of television, perhaps we can use this study as a reason to be honest with ourselves about how much time we spend in front of the television.

27、e lie about how much television they watch.答案语篇解读你每天看多长时间的电视呢?你给出的答案是真实的吗?大多数人给出不真实的答案,这是为什么呢?8.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Theres a social stigma(羞耻) for people who watch too much television.可知,人们觉得看电视过多会让人们觉得自己做了不光彩的事情,同时也给了周围的人嘲笑自己的把柄,也就是看电视过多有消极负面的影响,故选D项。9.C细节理解题。根据第三段第二句The first is that people are expose
28、d 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。10.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。11.D主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的A recent study shows that people arent totally truthful about their television-watching hab
29、its.可知,人们对于自己看电视的习惯并没有完全说实话,后文分析了人们产生这种心态的原因,所以本文主要是描述了人们对自己看电视情况说谎了,故选D项。DA small family approached. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving.
