5、ations that only broadcast during certain times of the day. Commercials were part of the TV experience. They offered a window into the new world of packaged goods, automobiles and airline travel.

6、. Thats not the case anymore. For todays internet-enabled consumers, TV commercials are probably the least efficient way to learn about a product.

8、pondents wanted to fast forward through the ads they watched. More than 60 percent of them, meanwhile, downloaded shows so that they could skip commercials.

16、ime we have set aside to watch TV.可知，这并不是说我们不想听到品牌的声音。只是我们在 看电视的时候不想听到他们的声音。由此可知，人们不是不关心品牌。故 B 选项“人们不再关心广告中的 品牌信息”不正确。故选 B。 【3 题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中 The answer isnt yet clear, but pre-roll ads may be part of the solution. People are less likely to consider such ads annoying since they start to roll be
17、fore the viewer has a chance to engage with the show. 可知，但是，预告片广告可能是解决方案的一部分，人们不太可能认为这样的广告很烦人，因为他们在观 众有机会参与到节目中之前就开始了预告片广告。由此可知，人们对片前广告的态度是越来越支持的。故 选 B。 B How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, cha
18、t with others online or play games online. Or maybe were using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach. Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a
19、hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers.

20、selves for the day ahead. Some people lean (倚靠) their head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books.

The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked
30、 researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how
31、they viewed their participation years after the fact. Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable influence on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important
32、experiences theyd ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts. It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 9
33、6 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults. Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the influence of
34、 teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as
35、 adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical (批判性的)thinking skills. 8.

C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现青少年艺术项目对青少年有深远的影响。 【8 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句话“Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local ar
39、t museums.”可知，每年，成千上万的青少年参加当地艺术博物馆的项目，此处说的是一份新的报告发现艺 术博物馆项目的校友们甚至在参加当地艺术博物馆的项目多年之后都认为它们改变了自己的生活，由此可 知，画线词指的就是“参加儿童艺术项目”，故 A项正确。 【9 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知，在接受调查的校友中，75%的校友认为参加青少年项目的经历对他们自 己的生活最有利；近 55%的人认为这是他们有过的最重要的经历之一；三分之二的人说，他们在博物馆的 经历常常会影响到他们的行为或思想，这是研究发现的青少年项目对青少年的影响，也就是这项研究的研 究结果，故 B 项正确。 【10 题详

42、ound the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity(强度） activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial, said Ulf
43、Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involv
44、ed monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the
45、risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was
46、linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message sit less and move more and more often. However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the
47、 US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested
48、 moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits, he said
49、. 12 Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A. lying on the sofa reading. B. Doing a little gentle gardening. C. Going out to hike with friends. D.
