Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed, for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U. S. , where there are more TVs than people , and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班), which had
outlawed
TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的)improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
B、The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.
C、45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
D、Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由第二段最后一句,“…by 2013--pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.”可知到2013年世界上三分之二的家庭将有电视,故选D项。由第二段第二句“…and where people now easily get access to the Internet”可知,是现在容易上网,而不是过去,因此A项有误;由第二段最后一句可知B项错误,文中说的是another 150 million,而不是总数为150 million;由第二段第一句后半句可知,到2005年有电视的用户会上升到60%而不是45%,因此C项有误。
