What would life be like without television? Would you spend more time 36 , reading, or studying? Well, now it’s your chance to turn off your TV and 37 ! TV-Turnoff Week is here.
The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets 38 and participate in activities 39 drawing to biking. The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995. In the 40 , only a few thousand people took part. Last year more than 7.6 million people participated, 41 people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11th year in which 42 are asking people to ―turn off the TV and turn on 43 .‖
According to the TV-Turnoff Network, the average 44 in the US spend 45 time in front of the TV (about 1,023 hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year). Too much TV 46 has made many kids grow fat. 47 , in 2001’s TV-Turnoff Week, US Surgeon General David Satcher said, ―We are raising the most 48 generation of youngsters in American history. This week is about saving lives.‖
Over the years, studies have shown that watching a lot of TV 49 poor eating habits, too little exercise, and violence. Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV ―is or 50 , part of a healthy lifestyle‖.
―One of the great lessons of 51 TV-Turnoff Week is the realization that 52 I turn on the TV, I’m deciding not to do something else,‖ Vespe said.
TV-Turnoff Week seems to be making a 53 . Recent US Census（人口普查）data 54 that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time. That’s 55 about 63 percent ten years ago. 36. A. drinking B. sleeping C. washing D. playing outside

36．根据上下文考查合适的动名词。从文章大意可知是希望人们有健康的生活方式，参加一些activities(第二小节中)，因此选playing outside最合适。后面的reading和studying都是室内活动。
37．根据上下文考查合适的动词。上文提出了一个问题，所以选find out―发现、找到（答案）‖。 38．根据上下文考查意义正确的搭配。leave…off―关掉‖，这是leave复合宾语结构。 39．考查搭配。由后文的to，可见这里只能填from。 40．根据上下文考查合适的词组。这两句话讲的是参与这个活动的人数的变化，因此先说的是―一开始‖in the beginning。 41．根据上下文考查意义正确的词。这句话是对前一句话的补充说明，根据后文的and in more than 12 other countries可见是对所有参与者的一个说明，用including―包括‖。 42．考查符合上下文的名词。进一步陈述组织者的目的。
43．考查符合文章中心思想的词义选择。组织者的目的就是希望人们有健康的生活方式，用turn on life―点亮生活‖很形象地阐明了中心。
44．考查符合上下文的名词。下文的数据明显是针对学生而言，因此用kids。 45．根据上下文提供的数据，当然看电视的时间更多。 46．考查符合上下文的词。这里表示―看电视过多‖。
47．考查符合上下文的关联词。下文是对上文作更具体的说明，in fact―实际上‖。
48．根据上文的grow fat，这里应该是overweight―超体重的‖。overeating―吃得过多‖是导致肥胖的一个方面（还有缺乏锻炼），―成长过快的‖overgrown和―监督‖overseeing不合文意。
49．根据上下文及搭配考查合适的动词词组。从逻辑上看首先排除result from―由于‖、keep away―不接触‖，再根据后面的too little exercise, and violence从搭配上排除develops。
50．根据中心思想，组织者认为从道理上说这样做―应该是‖健康生活的一部分。
51．从下文来看Vespe是作为一个电视观众，即一个参与本次活动的参与者，讲自己的体会，而不是一个组织者，因此选taking part in，而participate后面需要加in。
52．结合句意考查名词引导的时间状语从句。从主句的现在进行时，可以判断选every time―每次‖最合适。
