问题     Children learn almost nothing from television, and the more they watch the less they remember. They regard television purely 26 entertainment, resent programs that 27 on them and are surprised that anybody should 28 the medium seriously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they are mildly 29 with the whole thing. These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author Cardiac Cullingford 30 that the modern child is a 31 viewer. The study suggests that there is little 32 in the later hours. All 11-year-olds have watched programs after midnight.
    Apart from the obvious waste of time 33 , it seems that all this viewing has little effect. Cullingford says that children can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have seen but they can 34 explain the elements of a particular plot. Recall was in " 35 proportion to the amount they had watched. " It is precisely because television, 36 a teacher, demands so little attention and response 37 children like it, argues Cullingford. Programs seeking to 38 serious messages are strongly disliked.
    39 people who frequently talk on screen. What children like most are the advertisements. They see them as short programs 40 their own right and particularly enjoy humorous presentation. But again, they 41 strongly against high-pressure advertisements that attempt openly to 42 them.
    On the other hand, they are not 43 involved in the programs. If they admire the stars, it is because the actors lead glamorous lives and earn a lot of money, 44 their fictional skills with fast cars and shooting villains. They are perfectly 45 the functions of advertisements. And says Cullingford, educational television is probably least successful of all in imparting attitudes or information.
选项 A、dedicated
B、sincere
C、preoccupied
D、choosy
答案A
解析 此题属于语义搭配题。dedicated意为“热忱的，投注全副精神的”，根据下文：儿童在午夜后都曾看过电视，更别提在白天了，故儿童是热衷于看电视的，因此是a dedicatedviewer，故选项[A]dedicated正确。选项[B]sincere意为“真诚的，言语行为表里如一的”；选项[C]preoccupied意为“心不在焉的”；选项[D]choosy意为“挑剔的”。全句可译为：作者卡犹埃克·卡林福德证实了当今的小孩是电视的忠实观众。
