the remote control“抢夺遥控器”的同义转述。 98．[A] 推断题。第三段第三句和第四句指出“Her findings are astonishing．There turns out to be an enormous gap between how people say they watch television and how they actually do．”，有关于how people say they watch television的内容只在第二段有所提及，即“They do not need to watch advertisements．Indeed，they claim never to do so．”，由此可以推断，那两个人在采访中所说的并非实情，故[A]为答案。well-grounded意为“理由充分的”，reasonable意为“合情合理的”，feasible意为“可行的”，这几项在文中均未涉及，排除。 99．[A] 推断题。由题干中的viewer's expectations定位至第四段。倒数第二句指出“As a result，viewers’expectations have changed dramatically．”，之前提到的原因是“Video-cassette recorders have been replaced by DVD players and digital video recorders(DVRs)，both of which are easier to use．Cable and satellite firms offer a growing number of videos on demand．TV has gone online and become mobile．”，这些都属于技术进步范畴，故[A]为答案。文中没有提到娱乐活动的丰富性，互联网的传播和节目数量问题，排除其余三项。

100．[B] 主旨题。文章开篇描述了一个场景，指出一对夫妇在采访时表达的观点：这对夫妇也拍着胸脯保证绝对不会看。丈夫在接受采访中表示，他一看见广告就以30倍的速度快进。第三段中用astonishing一词表达了人们对研究结果的震惊：在看电视这件事情上，人们说的和做的完全是两回事。第四段解释了电视技术的节目，但第五段话锋一转“But a change in expectations is not quite the same as a change in behaviour．”，接着对其进行具体阐释：可几乎对于所有的电视节目，人们都是通过电视机看直播的。这是对人们看电视方式的说明，故[B]为答案。第三段提及“people channel-surfing”，这是人们看电视时经常出现的一个场景，文章并未就其进行说明，排除[A]；文章没有对人们喜欢观看的电视节目进行说明，[C]非主旨；最后两段提到人们喜欢看直播，或者“they watch it as soon as they can afterwards．”，但这是对方式的说明，而非具体看节目时间的说明，排除[D]。

审题思路

这篇作文要求从正反两种观点中选择自己赞同的观点。作文题目是一个问句，因此对该问题的回答即是全文主旨，即挫折是不好的，或挫折并不是坏事。首段提及挫折这一主题，然后明确表明自己的观点。第二段展开论述自己的观点，如本文可以就挫折有利这一观点来展开，可举出具体事例来论证该论点。第三段是结尾段，可以对前面的论述进行简要概括，并重申自己的观点，做到首尾呼应。注意，本文要讨论的是挫折对于年轻大学生的影响，所以应在此人群范围内讨论。

Is Frustration a Bad Thing?

①

There are two quite opposite educational views．One that we should give college students an encouraging education without much suffering．The other holds that college students should be prepared for the possible failure in their future lives

through suffering frustration．From my viewpoint，I agree with the latter view with no hesitation．It is common for as to suffer setbacks in the course of our growing

up．Frustration is an essential part of our life．If young people consider it as a test or challenge．frustration may turn out to be a good thin9．

The feeling going with frustration is not a welcomed one，such as helplessness，upset，annoyance，or depression．So many parents do their best to shelter their children from any difficulty and give them comfortable lives without any

vulnerability to their frustration-free life experience．The fact is that no matter there exists parents’ protection or not．we will inevitably experience failure or frustration some day in our life．Just as the old saying goes：“Failure is the mother of success”，frustration may transform into a kind of motivation if treated properly，and it could also inspire us to overcome difficulties and achieve our

goals．

In a word，frustration is definitely good to the young college students．When we are under great trouble in study and life，the earlier we learn how to face the frustration，the greater success we will obtain．
