单选题
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】原文: A study has found that educational TV shows come with an added lesson that influences a child’s behavior. Children spending more time watching educational programs increase their emotional aggression toward other children. This shows that children can learn the educational lesson that was intended. However, they’re also learning other things along the way. This unintended impact has to do with the portrayal of conflict in media and how preschool-age children comprehend that conflict. TV and movie producers often incorporate an element of bad behavior. This is to teach children a lesson at the end of the program. Educational shows have pro-education and pro-social goals. However, conflict between characters is often depicted with characters being unkind to each other, or they may use emotionally aggressive tactics with each other. Preschool children really don’t get the moral of the story. That’s because it requires that they understand how all the parts of the show fit together. You need pretty complicated cognitive skills and memory skills to be able to do that. These are still developing in young children. However, parents shouldn’t completely constrain children’s viewing. Parents should instead watch with their kids and help them to understand the plot. Parents can comment along the way and then explain the message in the end. They should explain how certain types of behavior were not appropriate. This will help children interpret and get the message and help them learn to watch the show for those messages. 12.What does the passage say about children watching educational programs? 13.Why can’t preschool children get the moral conveyed in the TV programs? 14.What does the passage suggest parents do? 15.What should parents do right after watching the TV program?文章开头提到:那些花更多的时间看教育性节目的孩子,对其他孩子的情绪攻击会有所增加。因此选项B正确,其中become more emotionally aggressive是对原文中increase their emotional aggression的同义转述。文中没有提到书本上没有的知识、与同龄人互动、为上学做更好的准备,其他三项无中生有,均排除。
