His book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is an American cult bestseller, and after eight editions it is still generating concern and savage debate in the USA.Jerry Mander, a former advertising expert is convinced that for the sake of our freedom, and mental and physical health, we should learn to live without TV. Through his advertising background Mander is aware how much of television is concerned with advertising. He sees the planting of values for profit as a deep, profound and disturbing act by the few against the many, for a trivial purpose. And, even without commercials, he sees TV as disturbing because it crams peoples heads with images which alter the way they feel and behave. Pictures formed by 300,000 tiny dancing dots altering 30 times per second, bombard their eyes as people scan the images 10 times a second. The brain registers and stores all 30 images, but the conscious mind registers far fewer. But, argues Mander, even if you reject or doubt what you see consciously, it is too late, the crucial messages have gone home.He further argues that TV is deadening experience as it is restricted to just two sensessight and sound. “Perception is dulled and flattered”, says Mander, “when you cant feel and smell and totally experience an event.” People are just sitting passively for up to four hours a night watching a flickering screen and listening to artificial sound. No culture in history has spent such an enormous amount of time looking at artificial light, says Mander, and another worrying fact is that prolonged exposure to artificial light alters human cells, which is why it is being used for certain medical treatment. Researchers do not know if life-long TV exposure is a physical risk or not, but as Mander would argue, why run the risk? It is important that people get up now and switch off before the harm is done, they might also become brainwashed, or who know, they might even be approaching death.1.Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a book which （ ）.2.Jerry Mander objects to TV advertising mainly because （ ）.3.Mander thinks peoples feelings and behaviour are changing because （ ）.4.By watching TV for several hours every night, Mander implies that （ ）.5.Mander suggests that viewing TV over long periods of time （ ）.问题1选项A.caused distress to many AmericansB.achieved great success overseasC.aroused nation-wide interestD.expressed the views of a fascinating man问题2选项A.the underlying principles concern money-makingB.it is ineffectual in getting its message acrossC.a few people are deeply disturbed by itD.the values it conveys are accepted by all问题3选项A.the brain is damaged by too much sitting before the televisionB.the conscious mind is incapable of filtering images to the brainC.their eyes scan a TV screen 10 times a secondD.the conscious mind is unable to reject the image it sees问题4选项A.people would lose the use of their other sensesB.peoples experience of life would become deadenedC.peoples ability to respond to events would lessenD.people would come to depend on only two senses问题5选项A.could lead to deathB.might cause brain damageC.could endanger peoples healthD.would make cells malignant【答案】第1题:C第2题:A第3题:B第4题:C第5题:C【解析】1.细节理解题
