Passage 4

36.【答案】A。解析：词义猜测题。couch potato一词在文中出现了三次，根据第二段I grew up a couch potato. Looking back, it seems I hardly read anything else at all — I watched TV almost seven hours a day. 作者说在以前他几乎不读书，每天几乎要看七个小时的电视。可知couch potato指那些每天花大量时间看电视的人，故选A。

37.【答案】D。解析：细节题。根据第三段第二句到第四句话Television is good before-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is good before-bed entertainment. 可知A、B、C项都符合题意，故选D项。

38.【答案】C。解析：细节题。根据第四段第一句话But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I had become a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. 可知作者在几个月前停止开始看电视，他发现自己有更多的时间用来思考了，与C选项一致。

39.【答案】D。解析：细节题。A项作者曾经花很多时间看电视;B项作者年轻的时候浪费了很多时间，根据第二段内容以及第四段倒数第二句And I wasted too much of my youth that I cannot have back. 可知A、B项正确;根据第四段最后一句话I will never be more imaginative than I was in my childhood. 可知D项正确。因为题干要选不正确的，故选C。

40.【答案】B。解析：词义猜测题。根据猜测词定位到文章第五段最后一句话：But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs, I’m not going to be the last person in this country to idle away the best years of life sitting passively in front of a television. 但是我担心，随着电视节目越来越有吸引力，我不会成为这个国家最后一个无所事事的人——被动地坐在电视机前，_____人生的大好时光。这句话中sitting passively in front of a television是修饰idle away the best years of life的，是它的具体内容，根据常识，坐在电视机前看电视是一种放松的方式，所以答案选B。
