A

(2018·江西省红色七校联考)Signing up for a digital TV service provides you with

access to over 200 channels from all over the globe.However, television today is

dominated by adult language, making it hard for concerned families to find channels

suitable for young eyes.Therefore, most movie channels are automatically removed

from the list of TV channels for an entire family.The following are some good ones

based on popularity on a global scale.

Discovery Channel

Discovery and its many channels can be considered as the founding father of

informative channels on television.What National Geographic does in a scholastic

(学术的) manner, Discovery tries to do in an entertaining manner — educating the

masses about everything.

Fox Family

Finding a movie channel that broadcasts pictures suitable for teenagers and kids

alike is very difficult unless your service operator offers you Fox family

movies.This channel screens most movies before it broadcasts them, ensuring that

no movie shows unacceptable material for young eyes.

Nickelodeon

A channel very similar to Cartoon Network, it mostly shows U．S. programs.However,

their shows are sometimes a bit more mature for younger kids and better suited to

kids aged 5 and up.

ABC Family

ABC started the ABC family channel in an attempt to introduce family­centered

shows and serials to the public in the U．S.A. The need for this channel was felt

after ABC observed the lack of proper family type U．S. channels.

Living

If traveling is a family hobby and better living is the motto then there is no

better channel than Living.Kids can see never­seen­before sights, learning about

new places while adults can practice their cooking and learn amazing things about

motorbikes.

语篇解读：注册数字电视服务能够提供全球范围内200多个频道，但很多频道不适合全家人一起观看。本文根据节目的受欢迎度为读者介绍了五个适合带孩子观看的电视频道。

21．According to the text, most channels offered by a digital TV service ________.

A．can keep people away from TV violence

B．are welcomed by families with small children

C．are concerned about the proper use of language

D．are unsuitable for the whole family to watch together

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“... making it hard for concerned

families to find channels suitable for young eyes.”可知，数字电视服务提供的大多数频道不太适合全家人一起观看。故选D项。

22．Which of the following can best describe Discovery Channel?

A．Relaxing. B．Touching.

C．Commercial. D．Professional.

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据文章Discovery Channel部分的“...Discovery tries

to do in an entertaining manner — educating the masses about everything.”可知，探索频道寓教于乐，由此可推知，该频道应是令人放松的。故选A项。

23．If people want to know about what a traditional family is like, they can

choose ________.

A．Fox Family B．Nickelodeon

C．ABC Family D．Living

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章ABC Family部分的最后一句“The need for this

channel was felt after ABC observed the lack of proper family type U．S. channels.”可知，该频道是在缺乏合适的美国家庭类频道的情况下设立的，因此，如果人们想要了解传统家庭是什么样子的就可以选择ABC Family频道。故选C项。

B

The ideal relationship between brothers and sisters is

obviously different from the realistic relationships that

exist between brothers and sisters. Anyone who has had either a brother, a sister or both will know a little bit about

sibling_rivalry. Sibling rivalry does not necessarily stem from (源于) the desire

to be the “favorite” among one's parents. In fact, sibling rivalry can also be

attributed to a sort of natural competition that arises between people, especially

those living close to one another.

Already, childhood describes and shapes the development of the relationships

between siblings. So that type of hostile relationship may not continue throughout

the siblings' lives. This observation is apparent in many sibling relationships,

even my own. Yet, what can explain the change that happens?

Perhaps, it has something to do with maturity (成熟). Maturity focuses on one's

relationships, even those between siblings. Whether or not maturity helps create

friendly terms between siblings is not entirely clear, but it is apparent that

maturity helps to explain why siblings take focus away from creating antagonism (对立). If the old saying, “Blood is thicker than water”， is applied to sibling

relationships, we find that genetic relationships can enhance social relationships.

So, even if we want sibling relationships to be peaceful and loving, we cannot

expect those friendly terms to exist always. What is important in this type of

relationship is the concept of forgiveness.Forgiveness can heal any wound, and in

the case of sibling relationships, it can be the path to a life of togetherness and

solidarity (团结)．

Therefore, it is entirely true that we cannot pick and choose who is in our family.
