　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Researches have suggested that your game-playing habits and TV watching inspire you to act out，

　　but those who enjoy killing people on screen disagree with the result. “I have played the most violent games available on the market today，”writes Mateo，

　　15. “I don't go killing people or stealing cars because I see it in a game. My parents say that，

　　as long as I remember it's a game，

　　I can play whatever I want.”

　　Despite what they say，

　　many scientific studies clearly show that violent video games make kids more likely to yell，

　　push，

　　and punch，

　　says Brad Bushman，

　　a psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Bushman and his colleagues recently reviewed more than 300 studies of video media effects and said，

　　“ We included every single study we could find on the topic. Regardless of what kids say，

　　violent video games are harmful.”

　　TV has been around a lot longer than video games，

　　so researchers have more data on the long-term effects of violent TV shows on people than they do on the effects of violent video games. Scientists at the University of Michigan recorded the TV-watching habits of hundreds of first and third graders in 1977. Fifteen years later，

　　the researchers looked at what kind of adults these kids had become. By the time they were in their early twenties，

　　women who had watched violent shows as kids were four times as likely to have punched，

　　choked，

　　or beaten other people as were women who didn't watch such programs as kids. Boys who watched violent TV grew up to be three times as likely to commit crimes as boys who didn't watch such programs. But that doesn't mean that everyone who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves. It was just more likely to happen for some people.

　　31．Which of the following about Mateo is TRUE？

　　A.He doesn't go killing people or stealing cars in a game.

　　B.He works in a market.

　　C.His parents allow him to play violent games as long as he regards it as a game.

　　D.He agrees that game-playing habits and TV watching inspire one to act out.

　　32．Researches show ________.

　　A.violent TV shows have more bad effects on people than violent video games

　　B.women are more likely to punch，

　　choke or beat other people

　　C.boys who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves

　　D.both violent TV shows and violent video games are harmful

　　33．According to the passage，

　　we students________.

　　A.had better watch violent TV shows than play violent games

　　B.should try to control our behaviors after playing violent games

　　C.should give up the habits of watching violent shows and playing violent games

　　D.should keep away from those watching violent programs in case they commit crimes

　　34．From the passage，

　　we can infer that________.

　　A.everyone who watched violent programs ended up being violent themselves

　　B.Brad Bushman is against violent video games

　　C.government has taken measures to stop violent shows and games

　　D.TV has been around a lot longer than video games

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行下边横线上画一个勾(√)；如有错误(每行只有一个错误)，则按下列情况改正：

　　此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线()划掉，在该行下边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

　　此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该行下边横线上写出该加的词。

　　此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行下边横线上写出改正后的词。

　　注意：原行没有错的不要改。

　　Although all the students seem very happily35.________

　　at our school， as

　　far as we concerned，36.________

　　the buildings would be more beautiful if the school could be decorated. We students thought the school looks 37.________

　　like a desert and the concrete walls like the grey sky in 38.________

　　a rainy day. We would be much happier and are able to 39.________

　　43.________

　　课时作业(四十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　本题考查动词短语辨析。根据语境，退休后，Rogers “开始从事”绘画(作为一种兴趣爱好)。

　　2．C　本题考查交际用语。It depends. 意为“视情况而定”。

　　3．B　本题考查动词短语辨析。句意为：我打算举行一场露天聚会，但是我不敢保证(一定举行)，因为这要依赖于天气。四个选项分别为：“与……有关”，“依赖于”，“连接，连上”及“决定”，可知答案B正确。

　　4．A　where 引导地点状语从句。句意为：她在丢计算器的地方找到了它。

　　5．C　本题考查turn构成的动词短语辨析。句意为：拉小提琴的小伙子倒了霉，一下子掀过了两页，这下曲子乱了套。turn over翻一页，符合句意。turn off关闭；turn around转身；turn up出现，调大，发生。

　　6. C　inspire sb. with confidence/inspire confidence in sb.激起某人的信心。

　　7．C　find fault with sb.为固定搭配，表示 “挑剔某人”。

　　8．C　本题考查动词短语辨析。pick out 挑出，选出； leave out 漏掉；figure out 理解，算出； take out 拿出，取出。句意为：他们十分仔细地算出了完成工程所需要的时间和钱。根据句意，应选“figure out”。

　　9．B　考查表语从句的引导词。这里表示抽象的地点，所以用“where”。句意为：“你也明白，我的数学不好，你的英语也较弱。”“那正是我们彼此应该互相帮助的地方。”

　　10. B　otherwise意为“否则，不然的话”。句意为：我多写了一页，不然的话早就完成了。根据句意，B项符合。

　　Ⅱ.父母在做慈善事情方面的言传身教可以培养孩子们的同情心和爱心。当然，给孩子参与做善事的机会更重要。

　　11. A　举Sherry教育孩子的例子来说明第一句话，所以要选for example“例如”。

　　12. B　根据语境，孩子才4岁，所以母亲要向她“解释”有很多贫穷的孩子需要帮助，让她明白为什么要帮助别人。recall回忆，记起；mention提到；insist坚持。

　　13. D　gather up收集起。由于年龄增长，一些玩具和衣服已经不适合她玩或穿戴了，所以就可以把它们收集起来，放到包里。

　　14. D　由下文可知，这里要表达的意思是“在妈妈的启发下，孩子很高兴做这件事”。故选D项。

　　15. A　run管理。过去分词作后置定语表被动，a shelter run by a local church意为“一家当地教堂管理的收容所”。

　　16. C　上文提到put them(玩具和衣服)in a bag，所以此处应是把bag带来了。

　　17. D　句意为：随着Tracy逐渐长大，她们将一年之内多次做这件事。介词with也有此意，但不能引导一个句子。

　　18. B　根据语境，这些活动向孩子表明妈妈参与了这项活动(起到了榜样的作用)，但“最重要的是”给了孩子一个机会，让她参与到这项活动中去。after all毕竟；above all最重要的是；at all全然；as a matter of fact事实上。

　　19. B　as long as意为“只要”。句意为：有时候，孩子准备好捐赠一些东西，但经过考虑后又改变了想法，这也没什么，只要他们愿意捐赠，就是不错的。

　　20. A　be on the right track意思是“想法或做法正确”。其他各词均无此意。

　　21. C　require意为“需要”。句意为：让孩子参与到慈善事业中不需要很多时间和精力。

　　22. A　由下文…food to school可知，他们在一所公立学校上学。

　　23. D　由下文canned peach可知，孩子带到学校里的是罐装食品。

　　24. C　文章介绍的就是家庭参与慈善活动对孩子们产生的影响。所以家里的每一位成员都参与每周的活动，下文也有暗示(One evening the family…)。
