　　1.文章第二段指出孩子們最容易受電視的影響，他們成年之后對(duì)生活的現(xiàn)實(shí)缺乏心理防御。根據(jù)原文“No wonder，then，that when they grow up they are not prepared for the frontline of life;they simply have no mental defenses to confront the reality of the world.”可知本題正確答案為D項(xiàng)。

　　2.“The Truth About TV”部分第二段指出電視對(duì)語(yǔ)言的影響：“The mechanics of the English language have been tortured to pieces by TV.Visual，moving images can't be held in the net of careful language.They want to break out.They really have nothing to do with language.So language，grammar and rhetoric have become fractured.”。作者認(rèn)為電視把英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)都分解成了碎片。語(yǔ)言、語(yǔ)法和修辭都支離破碎。因此，電視破壞了英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言。故本題正確答案為A項(xiàng)。

　　3.由“The Truth About TV”部分第五段第一句“Even more importantly，the growing influence of television has changed people's habits and values and affected their assumptions about the world.”可知電視改變?nèi)藗兊牧?xí)慣和價(jià)值觀，影響人們對(duì)世界的看法。由“TV： Eating Out Our Substance”部分第一段第三句“It eats positive character traits.”可知電視對(duì)人的性格是有影響的，而且有的只是負(fù)面影響。故本題正確答案為B項(xiàng)。

　　4.由“The Truth About TV”部分第一段“One of the most disturbing truths about TV is that it eats books.Once out of school，nearly 60% of all adult Americans have never read a single book，and most of the rest read only one book a year.Alvin Kernan，author of The Death of Literature，says that reading books is ceasing to be the primary way of knowing something in our society.”可知電視的出現(xiàn)使讀書(shū)不再是獲取信息、了解事物的主要方法了。故本題正確答案為C項(xiàng)。

　　5.由“The Truth About TV”部分第四段第一句“Passive as it is，television has invaded our culture so completely that you see its effects in every quarter，even in the literary world.”可知盡管電視是一種被動(dòng)的娛樂(lè)，它徹底地侵入了我們的文化，甚至影響了文學(xué)界。可見(jiàn)本題正確答案為A項(xiàng)。

　　6.由“The Cyclops”部分第三段“What I find particularly appropriate about this myth as it applies today is that first，the Cyclops imprisons these men in darkness，and that，second，he beats their brains out before he devours them.It doesn't take much imagination to apply this to the effects of TV on us and our children.”可知作者認(rèn)為只要稍具想象力我們就可以看出電視和獨(dú)眼巨人在這方面的相似之處。言下之意，電視也是先讓我們失喪失思考能力，再?gòu)氐讱缥覀儭９时绢}正確答案為A項(xiàng)。

　　7.“TV：Eating Out Our Substance”部分最后一段中Muggeridge對(duì)電視做了總結(jié)：“There is a danger in translating life into an image，and that is what television is doing.In doing it，it is falsifying life.Far from the camera's being an accurate recorder of what is going on，it is the exact opposite.It cannot convey reality，nor does it even want to.”可見(jiàn)在把生活轉(zhuǎn)換成圖像的過(guò)程中，電視竄改了生活，并非真實(shí)地記錄了生活。故本題正確答案為D項(xiàng)。

　　8.由“TV's Effect on Learning”部分第一句“…when we watch television our usual processes of thinking and discernment are semi-functional at best.”可知人們看電視的時(shí)候，他們的思維能力和識(shí)別能力最多起一半作用。故此題答案為“processes of thinking and discernment”。

　　9.由“Shadows on the Screen”部分第二句“Unfortunately，the tendency is to start thinking of them in the way children think when they see too many cartoons：that people are merely objects that can be destroyed.”可見(jiàn)孩子們看多了卡通片會(huì)把人看作可以隨意毀滅的物體。故此題答案為“(merely) objects that can be destroyed”。

　　10.由文章最后一部分“TV：Eating Out Our Substance”中第四段第一句“Muggeridge concluded： ‘There is a danger in translating life into an image，and that is what television is doing. In doing it，it is falsifying life.’”可知正確答案為“an image”。
