阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 When television was first introduced into American society(社会) more than fifty years ago, many people thought, ―Television is going to bring American families 16 together.‖ Pictures which advertised television in the 1950s showed a happy family gathered together in the 17 , sharing the TV programmes. Who could 18 that half a century later the mother would be in the kitchen 19 a daytime drama, the father would be in the living room watching a ball game, and the children would be watching 20 in their bedroom?
Television has certainly changed American life, but not in the 21 people thought first. The first televisions were very expensive, 22 most families owned only one. By 1975, 60% of American families owned two televisions or more; some middle-class families had as 23 as five television sets under one roof. Such families may 24 family members in the same house, 25 that can not bring them ―together‖. In fact, family outings – hiking, going to the movies, going 26 to dinner—are often limited(限制) by TV, because one or more family members don’t want to go, and they often say, ―I’ll miss my 27 .‖
Perhaps 28 important than the lack(缺乏) of family outings is that family time
together at home becomes 29 . People in the 1950s could not realize how 30 television Americans would watch in the 1980s; the average(平均) American watches 6 hours of TV every day. That leaves little time for the family to be together during long evenings.
( ) 16. A. close B. near C. closer D. nearer ( ) 17. A. living room B. bedroom C. dining room D. fitting room ( ) 18. A. see B. guess ( ) 19. A. to watch B. watching ( ) 20. A. cartoons B. chat show ( ) 21. A. road B. path ( ) 22. A. such B. because ( ) 23. A. many B. much ( ) 24. A. hold B. have ( ) 25. A. or ( ) 26. A. down ( ) 27. A. TV sets ( ) 28. A. much
C. say D. tell C. looking D. to look C. documentary D. news C. way D. trail C. so D. as a result C. few D. little C. stay D. keep
B. so C. and D. but B. up C. back D. out B. sleep C. bus D. programme B. more C. little D. less
B. fewer and fewer D. longer and longer
