　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Researches have suggested that your game-playing habits and TV watching inspire you to act out，

　　but those who enjoy killing people on screen disagree with the result. “I have played the most violent games available on the market today，”writes Mateo，

　　15. “I don't go killing people or stealing cars because I see it in a game. My parents say that，

　　as long as I remember it's a game，

　　I can play whatever I want.”

　　Despite what they say，

　　many scientific studies clearly show that violent video games make kids more likely to yell，

　　push，

　　and punch，

　　says Brad Bushman，

　　a psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Bushman and his colleagues recently reviewed more than 300 studies of video media effects and said，

　　“ We included every single study we could find on the topic. Regardless of what kids say，

　　violent video games are harmful.”

　　TV has been around a lot longer than video games，

　　so researchers have more data on the long-term effects of violent TV shows on people than they do on the effects of violent video games. Scientists at the University of Michigan recorded the TV-watching habits of hundreds of first and third graders in 1977. Fifteen years later，

　　the researchers looked at what kind of adults these kids had become. By the time they were in their early twenties，

　　women who had watched violent shows as kids were four times as likely to have punched，

　　choked，

　　or beaten other people as were women who didn't watch such programs as kids. Boys who watched violent TV grew up to be three times as likely to commit crimes as boys who didn't watch such programs. But that doesn't mean that everyone who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves. It was just more likely to happen for some people.

　　31．Which of the following about Mateo is TRUE？

　　A.He doesn't go killing people or stealing cars in a game.

　　B.He works in a market.

　　C.His parents allow him to play violent games as long as he regards it as a game.

　　D.He agrees that game-playing habits and TV watching inspire one to act out.

　　32．Researches show ________.

　　A.violent TV shows have more bad effects on people than violent video games

　　B.women are more likely to punch，

　　choke or beat other people

　　C.boys who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves

　　D.both violent TV shows and violent video games are harmful

　　33．According to the passage，

　　we students________.

　　A.had better watch violent TV shows than play violent games

　　B.should try to control our behaviors after playing violent games

　　C.should give up the habits of watching violent shows and playing violent games

　　D.should keep away from those watching violent programs in case they commit crimes

　　34．From the passage，

　　we can infer that________.

　　A.everyone who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves

　　B.Brad Bushman is against violent video games

　　C.government has taken measures to stop violent shows and games

　　D.TV has been around a lot longer than video games

　　Ⅳ.短文改錯

　　此題要求改正所給短文中的錯誤。對標有題號的每一行作出判斷：如無錯誤，在該行下邊橫線上畫一個勾(√)；如有錯誤(每行只有一個錯誤)，則按下列情況改正：

　　此行多一個詞：把多余的詞用斜線()劃掉，在該行下邊橫線上寫出該詞，并也用斜線劃掉。

　　此行缺一個詞：在缺詞處加一個漏字符號(∧)，在該行下邊橫線上寫出該加的詞。

　　此行錯一個詞：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，在該行下邊橫線上寫出改正后的詞。

　　注意：原行沒有錯的不要改。

　　Although all the students seem very happily35.________

　　at our school， as

　　far as we concerned，36.________

　　the buildings would be more beautiful if the school could be decorated. We students thought the school looks 37.________

　　like a desert and the concrete walls like the grey sky in 38.________

　　a rainy day. We would be much happier and are able to 39.________

　　better if the walls of the school could40.________

　　be decorated with posters， photos and paintings， that could certainly broaden our horizons

　　and enrich 41.________

　　unless

　　we buy art posters， the cost will be low. Using only

　　43.________

　　a little money， it can make our school a nicer place. 44.________

　　課時作業(四十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　本題考查動詞短語辨析。根據語境，退休后，Rogers “開始從事”繪畫(作為一種興趣愛好)。

　　2．C　本題考查交際用語。It depends. 意為“視情況而定”。

　　3．B　本題考查動詞短語辨析。句意為：我打算舉行一場露天聚會，但是我不敢保證(一定舉行)，因為這要依賴于天氣。四個選項分別為：“與……有關”，“依賴于”，“連接，連上”及“決定”，可知答案B正確。

　　4．A　where 引導地點狀語從句。句意為：她在丟計算器的地方找到了它。

　　5．C　本題考查turn構成的動詞短語辨析。句意為：拉小提琴的小伙子倒了霉，一下子掀過了兩頁，這下曲子亂了套。turn over翻一頁，符合句意。turn off關閉；turn around轉身；turn up出現，調大，發生。

　　6. C　inspire sb. with confidence/inspire confidence in sb.激起某人的信心。

　　7．C　find fault with sb.為固定搭配，表示 “挑剔某人”。

　　8．C　本題考查動詞短語辨析。pick out 挑出，選出； leave out 漏掉；figure out 理解，算出； take out 拿出，取出。句意為：他們十分仔細地算出了完成工程所需要的時間和錢。根據句意，應選“figure out”。

　　9．B　考查表語從句的引導詞。這里表示抽象的地點，所以用“where”。句意為：“你也明白，我的數學不好，你的英語也較弱。”“那正是我們彼此應該互相幫助的地方。”

　　10. B　otherwise意為“否則，不然的話”。句意為：我多寫了一頁，不然的話早就完成了。根據句意，B項符合。

　　Ⅱ.父母在做慈善事情方面的言傳身教可以培養孩子們的同情心和愛心。當然，給孩子參與做善事的機會更重要。

　　11. A　舉Sherry教育孩子的例子來說明第一句話，所以要選for example“例如”。

　　12. B　根據語境，孩子才4歲，所以母親要向她“解釋”有很多貧窮的孩子需要幫助，讓她明白為什么要幫助別人。recall回憶，記起；mention提到；insist堅持。

　　13. D　gather up收集起。由于年齡增長，一些玩具和衣服已經不適合她玩或穿戴了，所以就可以把它們收集起來，放到包里。

　　14. D　由下文可知，這里要表達的意思是“在媽媽的啟發下，孩子很高興做這件事”。故選D項。

　　15. A　run管理。過去分詞作后置定語表被動，a shelter run by a local church意為“一家當地教堂管理的收容所”。

　　16. C　上文提到put them(玩具和衣服)in a bag，所以此處應是把bag帶來了。

　　17. D　句意為：隨著Tracy逐漸長大，她們將一年之內多次做這件事。介詞with也有此意，但不能引導一個句子。

　　18. B　根據語境，這些活動向孩子表明媽媽參與了這項活動(起到了榜樣的作用)，但“最重要的是”給了孩子一個機會，讓她參與到這項活動中去。after all畢竟；above all最重要的是；at all全然；as a matter of fact事實上。

　　19. B　as long as意為“只要”。句意為：有時候，孩子準備好捐贈一些東西，但經過考慮后又改變了想法，這也沒什么，只要他們愿意捐贈，就是不錯的。

　　20. A　be on the right track意思是“想法或做法正確”。其他各詞均無此意。

　　21. C　require意為“需要”。句意為：讓孩子參與到慈善事業中不需要很多時間和精力。

　　22. A　由下文…food to school可知，他們在一所公立學校上學。

　　23. D　由下文canned peach可知，孩子帶到學校里的是罐裝食品。

　　24. C　文章介紹的就是家庭參與慈善活動對孩子們產生的影響。所以家里的每一位成員都參與每周的活動，下文也有暗示(One evening the family…)。
