大学英语四六级阅读理解——如何确定作者的观点或态度发布时间：2007-07-29 11:48:28 来源：英语帮 作者：谢忠明 浏览: 评论:0例三： Directions: Read the following passage and select the best answer to the question. Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programmes which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting-room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering(忽隐忽现) pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programmers is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt (使变坏) or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determine its value to society. Which of the following can best describe the view of the author? (A) Television has not only advantages but also disadvantages. (B) The advantages of television outweigh its disadvantage. (C) Television has neither advantages nor disadvantages. (D) It is not clearly seen in the passage. 从全文来看，虽然作者既提到优点也提到缺点，但是主要倾向是肯定优点，在谈到缺点时用了“some people”，表示了持这种看法的人有限。因此(B)项符合题意。 在阅读理解测试中，要求确定作者的态度或观点的问题，通常有以下几种形式： 1.
