“知道”;选项[DJgralified(with)意为“满意”；选项©infecled(with)意为“受到感

染“，如：Theyareinfectedwithhishighspirits.均不符合题意。

A、revolved

B、involved

如：immerseoneselfinwork；选项[DJdirect(proportion)意为“正比(关系)

下文，上文谈到儿童特讨厌严肃的节目(Programs...arestronglydisliked.)；此句仍

接.语篇完整°其他选前：[A]Thereare.[QTheyare和[D]Thoseare均不符题

意。

B、among

C、with

B、influencing

C、influenced

D^haveinfluenced

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此题属于语法题。此处需动词原形与allempt连用，attempiiodo

sth.因此选项[A]influence正确。其他选项：[D]influencing现在分词,

[C]influenced过去分问；[D]havcinfluenced完成形式，均与题意不符。

43、[C18]

A、facilely

B、emotionally

C、intellectually

D、indifferently

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题属于语义搭配题。emotionally意为“感情上的”，原文中上文提

到.儿童从电视中根本学不到东西.仅仅把它看作是一种娱乐•他们讨厌严肃的节

目，可见孩子们并不喜欢投入自己的情感，下文提及他们对明星的态度，对广告功

能的了解也证明了这一点。因此选项[D]emotionaHy符合题意。选项[A]facilely意

为“轻易地，顺从地”;选项©intenectually意为“理智上”;选项[D]indifferently意

为“冷漠地”。

44、[C19]

的arc连用，表示状态。选项［B］clcarof意为“无罪的，无愧的”；选项［C］clearaway

动词短语,意为“清除”;选项［D］clearup动词短语,意为“寻找答案,整理完成”。
