问题 Forget Twitter and Facebook,Google and the Kindle.Television is still the most influential medi—um around Indeed,not many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world,it remains the next bigthing——fina Jly becomes globally available.And that is a good thing,because the 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 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,lin 5 Afghans had one.The global total is another 1 50 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to wellbeyond two thirds of families.Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women.In India,researchers Robert Jens—en 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 heahhcare.TV is also a powerful medium for adult education.In the Indi—an 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 on their reading skills.Too much TV has been associated with violence。overweight and loneliness.However,TV is hav-ing 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’8 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 可以从That is some way behind the U.S,where are more TVs than people,and where people nOW easily get access to the Internet.判断选项A是错误的,原文中是“now easily”,即表示现在上网很方便,而选项A用的是“used to”(过去),所以不正确;从The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.可以判断B是错误的,“another 150 million by 2013”意为到2013年再增长150 million sets,而不是增长到150 million,重点要把握“an—other”(另一个)这个词;从Across the developing world,around 45%of families had a TV in 1995;by2005 the number had climbed above 60%.可知选项C是错误的,1995年有45%的家庭拥有电视机,到2005年这个数字会上涨60%多,可见到2005年会不止45%的家庭拥有电视机。
