“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of American’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.

In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nation’s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial, and geographical group.

Although some educators don’t agree to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems appear when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.

Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional(偶然的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.

The programs all use songs, stories, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters.

Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

1. Children who often watch the program _______.

A. can have problems in school                 B. will be well educated

C. will take no interest in their studies          D. have benefited from it

2. What is special about the program?

A. Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching.

B. It makes children feel able to learn.

C. It is shown at different hours during the week.

D. It offers great fun.

3. Why is “Sesame Street” so popular in the world?

A. Because it is supported by the government and businesses.

B. Because it uses a variety of skillful tricks.

C. Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.

D. Because mothers watch it along with their children.

4. The best title for this passage can be _ ______.

A. TV Programs                                 B. Sesame Street

C. Educating Children                     D. A Great Success

高二英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析

Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player，Andy Murray，will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士头衔)for ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men’s champion title．David Cameron，the British prime minister，who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon told reporters that he couldn’t think of anyone who deserves one more．More news on the knighthood is surely to come, but Murray’s achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish, not English．

Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland’s　 first minister, Alex Salmond, waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory．No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896．Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray’s achievement had been a victory for Britain． “Absolutely，and for tennis fans everywhere，"Salmond said．“Let everyone enjoy the victory．But you will allow us just the little private thing．Let us wave our national flag．”

The Scottish government，headed by Salmond，has announced that Scotland will hold a referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014．Murray，who lives in the　 London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane，has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue，and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views．

But this was a national moment．Murray’s semifinal victory over Jerzy

Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24 million viewers,　 the biggest of the year in Britain．The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3 million，the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990, according to the B BC．

Only one name will go on the trophy(奖杯)，but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event．Murray，who once had frequent fits of anger during matches，has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group．Murray’s rise to champion has clearly　 something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the 2012 season．“He’s been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him．”

Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title，beginning next month，and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱)　 well and truly over．

1.The underlined word “twist” in the second paragraph refers to Murray’s_____.

A．achievement　　　 　 B．knighthood

C．champion title　　　 D．nationality

2.What does the author mean by saying“the British drought well and truly over”?

A．Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain．

B．Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held．

C．British government’s rule over Scotland will come to an end soon．

D．The British people’s desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied．

3.What does the writer intend to tell us?

A．The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray’s victory．

B．Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain

C．The secret lies behind Murray’s Wimbledon victory．

D．Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum．
