1.文章第二段指出孩子们最容易受电视的影响，他们成年之后对生活的现实缺乏心理防御。根据原文“No wonder，then，that when they grow up they are not prepared for the frontline of life;they simply have no mental defenses to confront the reality of the world.”可知本题正确答案为D项。

　　2.“The Truth About TV”部分第二段指出电视对语言的影响：“The mechanics of the English language have been tortured to pieces by TV.Visual，moving images can't be held in the net of careful language.They want to break out.They really have nothing to do with language.So language，grammar and rhetoric have become fractured.”。作者认为电视把英语语言结构都分解成了碎片。语言、语法和修辞都支离破碎。因此，电视破坏了英语语言。故本题正确答案为A项。

　　3.由“The Truth About TV”部分第五段第一句“Even more importantly，the growing influence of television has changed people's habits and values and affected their assumptions about the world.”可知电视改变人们的习惯和价值观，影响人们对世界的看法。由“TV： Eating Out Our Substance”部分第一段第三句“It eats positive character traits.”可知电视对人的性格是有影响的，而且有的只是负面影响。故本题正确答案为B项。

　　4.由“The Truth About TV”部分第一段“One of the most disturbing truths about TV is that it eats books.Once out of school，nearly 60% of all adult Americans have never read a single book，and most of the rest read only one book a year.Alvin Kernan，author of The Death of Literature，says that reading books is ceasing to be the primary way of knowing something in our society.”可知电视的出现使读书不再是获取信息、了解事物的主要方法了。故本题正确答案为C项。

　　5.由“The Truth About TV”部分第四段第一句“Passive as it is，television has invaded our culture so completely that you see its effects in every quarter，even in the literary world.”可知尽管电视是一种被动的娱乐，它彻底地侵入了我们的文化，甚至影响了文学界。可见本题正确答案为A项。

　　6.由“The Cyclops”部分第三段“What I find particularly appropriate about this myth as it applies today is that first，the Cyclops imprisons these men in darkness，and that，second，he beats their brains out before he devours them.It doesn't take much imagination to apply this to the effects of TV on us and our children.”可知作者认为只要稍具想象力我们就可以看出电视和独眼巨人在这方面的相似之处。言下之意，电视也是先让我们失丧失思考能力，再彻底毁灭我们。故本题正确答案为A项。

　　7.“TV：Eating Out Our Substance”部分最后一段中Muggeridge对电视做了总结：“There is a danger in translating life into an image，and that is what television is doing.In doing it，it is falsifying life.Far from the camera's being an accurate recorder of what is going on，it is the exact opposite.It cannot convey reality，nor does it even want to.”可见在把生活转换成图像的过程中，电视窜改了生活，并非真实地记录了生活。故本题正确答案为D项。

　　8.由“TV's Effect on Learning”部分第一句“…when we watch television our usual processes of thinking and discernment are semi-functional at best.”可知人们看电视的时候，他们的思维能力和识别能力最多起一半作用。故此题答案为“processes of thinking and discernment”。

　　9.由“Shadows on the Screen”部分第二句“Unfortunately，the tendency is to start thinking of them in the way children think when they see too many cartoons：that people are merely objects that can be destroyed.”可见孩子们看多了卡通片会把人看作可以随意毁灭的物体。故此题答案为“(merely) objects that can be destroyed”。

　　10.由文章最后一部分“TV：Eating Out Our Substance”中第四段第一句“Muggeridge concluded： ‘There is a danger in translating life into an image，and that is what television is doing. In doing it，it is falsifying life.’”可知正确答案为“an image”。
