问题     It’s no secret that most busy American mothers use the TV set as a live-in babysitter. In some households the tube holds a child’s 【S1】______ for the odd half hour or two while mom works on dinner; in others it is the child’s constant daytime companion. Is there any harm in this? Debate rages over the question, and periodically research is published 【S2】______ that TV reduces attention span, makes children jumpy or 【S3】______ them to violence. In today’s cartoon David Horsey 【S4】______ fun of the claims of "children’s TV", the special programming that supposedly uses entertainment to 【S5】______ youngsters to learn to read and take their first steps in the big, diverse world outside their family. What do children really get from this programming? Horsey’ 【S6】______ is that children’s programming chiefly turns kids into TV addicts, not into readers or happy mixers. The toddler in the cartoon, still at the age of pacifiers and stuffed animals, is held spellbound by the figure on the screen. What is the 【S7】______ message of this creature specifically designed to fascinate small children? "Can you say TV?" The 【S8】______ the kid learns the word, the more effectively he can remind or nag his mother to mm on the boob tube. A child hooked on TV is a viewer 【S9】______ to commercial messages, and there are plenty of those targeting children of all ages. Thus, at the very least, mom’s search for peace and quiet set the stage for her child’s transformation into an American consumer---and, of course, soaks up time that could be used for other, perhaps more desirable, 【S10】______ .

A) help                 B) open                C) find               D) makes  
E) criticism            F) showing             G) feelings           H) suspicion
I) stimulating          J) transformations     K) attention          L) refused
M) sooner               N) meaningful          O) inclines
【S1】
选项
答案K
解析 空格处应填入名词，根据上下文该句应为“当妈妈做饭时电视会吸引住孩子的注意力”，而hold one’s attention表示吸引某人的注意，attention符合题意。
