urlivingspaceandbelongings.We’dnotonlydownsizedphysicalthings,butwe’dalsoclearedout"可知,作者一家也清理了精神方面的杂乱。mental"精神上的"符合语境。physical"身体的";social"社交的";intellectual"智力上的"。6.A根据上下文的内容可知,作者一家从消除(removing)电视直播开始清理精神方面的杂乱。destroy"摧毁";broadcast"广播"。7.B根据下文可知,一些美妙的事情纷至沓来(floodedin)。pullback"撤退,退出";fadeaway"逐渐消失";turnover"翻转"。8.C虽然作者从不看很多电视节目,但是在电视上看到的故事所引起(caused)的情绪经常(frequently)留在他的脑海里,让他郁郁不乐。challenge"挑战";inspire"激励,激发"。9.B参见上题解析。gradually"逐渐地";randomly"随意地";occasionally"偶然地"。10.D没有了电视播出的暴力或悲伤,作者发现自己的精神状态更好了。根据语境,应用without"无,没有"。11.A根据语境可知,由于他们不再围绕每周的节目来制订计划表,计划制订变得简单易行了。schedule"计划表,日程表"。12.D关于谁看什么电视节目的争吵(quarrels)终止了。compromise"妥协";comment"评论"。13.C根据语境可知,作者一家把自身投入到(devoted)写作、读书和享受自然(nature)中。abandononeselfto..."陷入,沉湎于";submitoneselfto..."顺从,屈服于";accustomoneselfto..."使习惯于"。12\n14.C参见上题解析。下文的"wehadplentyofviewingtimeforthesunset,thestars,orthestormclouds"是关键提示。company"陪伴";silence"寂静"。18.C作者不禁琢磨着如果他们保留了电视(television),多少珍贵的(priceless)回忆将不会被创造。countless"无数的";endless"无尽的";valueless"无价值的,不值钱的"。考生易误选D项。考生误选D项的根源在于未理解valueless的含义。valueless意为"无价值的,不值钱的",而valuable意为"珍贵的,有价值的",辨明了这两个词的含义,考生不难选出答案。19.D参见上题解析。promise"承诺";tradition"传统";appointment"约定"。20.A作者不会用那些时刻来交换(exchange)世界上所有的情景喜剧,访谈节目及电影。substitute"代替,替换",substituteAforB意为"用A代替B"。IV.语法填空(每小题1分,共10分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。WhichisthemostsignificantclassicalChinesepainting?AccordingtoPaulDenlinger,who
