do they reflect the values of their family, school, community or church? speculate about the real lives of some of the celebrities they love. would they really want to be like paris hilton or jessica simpson?ask your children to talk about the kinds of things they like best about the people they know, including their own friends, family members, teachers and coaches. is it that theyre famous and rich and pretty? or is it that theyre funny, helpful, caring, friendly and smart?encourage kids to be skeptical. get them to ask questions such as “is the only reason im interested in that person on tv is because he is on tv?”stay current with the programs, music and video games your kids are consuming. its the only way youll be able to have intelligent and informed discussions with them about the people and images theyre exposed to. its the only way youll know what theyre thinking, and the only way you can help them think more critically.5. the main purpose of the text is to _.a. explain why children are addicted to celebrity cultureb. advise how to guide children through celebrity culturec. tell us what attitude children should have towards celebritiesd. explain the importance of critical thinking skills6. the author believes the fixation on the three as will _.a. direct children to right valuesb. do harm to children completelyc. make children neglect other important valuesd. make children form their own ideas ahout celebrities7. children are asked to talk about the kinds of things they like best about the people they know so that they can _.a. realize only common people can be happyb. see who is more helpful to themc. realize celebrities are common people tood. find good qualities in common people8. which of the following can help your children think more critically?a. let them focus on studying.b. have a discussion with them about their schoollife.c. ask them to think about the real reasons why they like the celebrities.d. let them compare the people around with themselves.答案与解析【语篇解读】 本文为一篇议论文。文章就如何培养和发展孩子的批判性思维以及正确对待明星进行讨论，并就此提出几点建议。5. 答案 b解析 推理判断题。综合分析全文可知，文章主要说明如何让孩子正确对待明星和流行文化。6. 答案 c解析 细节理解题。从第二段可知，过分关注这三方面，会使孩子忽视其他重要的价值观。7. 答案 d解析 推理判断题。从第六段可知孩子在比较中会发现普通人身上的一些闪光点，从而形成正确的价值观。8. 答案 c解析 细节理解题。从最后一段可知，让孩子思考喜欢明星的真正原因可以培养他们的批判性思维。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. jeff is doing it by sneaking answers to a test, but its also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isnt. 9 its tempting to cheat because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material. 10 11 they can watch tv instead of studying for the spelling test. but other people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and, if they get caught c
