题文

“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is becau the television program by that name can now be en in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the country’s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical group. Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents prai (赞扬) it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first graders who have learnt from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited (受益) from watching it. Tho who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increa the number of children who can watch it regularly. The programs all u songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching parate (单独的) letters. Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government and private business, and the skillful u of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly becau famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himlf learning, and he wants to learn more. 小题1:Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．It is shown at different hours during the week.

解析

《芝麻街》于1969年10月10日，在美国的国家教育电视台上（National Educational Television）首次播出，并于当年底，转到公共电视台（Public Broadcasting Service）播出。它是迄今为止，获得艾美奖奖项最多的一个儿童节目（71项）。这个节目综合运用了木偶、动画和真人表演等各种表现手法向儿童教授基础阅读、算术、颜色的名称、字母和数字等基本知识，有时还教一些基本的生活常识，例如，怎样安全过马路、讲卫生的重要性等等。其中许多的滑稽短剧和小栏目都已成为其他电视节目竞相模仿的典范。小题1:细节理解题，根据文中语句“That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.”理解可知。芝麻街开始于1969年，到现在已经四十多年了故C是错误的。小题2:细节理解题，根据文中语句“But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himlf learning, and he wants to learn more.”理解可知。芝麻街之所以这么成功就是因为它使每一个孩子，看着感觉能够学习，并且愿意学习。小题3:标题理解题，根据文中语句理解可知，本文主要 介绍了芝麻街的相关的情况，故选A。点评：这类文章经常会有较多的生词，但是这些生词对文章并没有实质的影响，考生要抓住主要的细节要点进行分析。
