根据下面资料,回答题。
Anne:
I really don´ t think that it´ s moral to target children with advertisements, as they are not yet able to distinguish advertising from actual programming in the way adults can. This means that ad-vertising aimed at children is misleading and unfair. It is also clearly effective, as otherwise adver-risers would not spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year targeting children who are not yet able to resist their sales pitch.
John:
Advertising aimed at children brings negative social consequences, as much of it is for food and drinks that are unhealthy. Encouraging naive children to consume so much fatty, sugary and salty food is morally wrong because it creates overweight, unhealthy youngsters, with bad eating habits that will be with them for life. Society may pay a high price in terms of the extra medical care such children will eventually require.
Lily:
I think banning advertisements is a severe restriction upon freedom of speech. Companies should be able to tell the public about any legal products, or innovation will be restricted and new companies will find it hard to market their products successfully in the face of established rivals.
Children also have a human right to receive information from a wide range of sources and make up their own minds about it.
Ross :
Children naturally like foods that are rich in fats and sugar. They give them the energy they need to play energetically and grow healthily. It is true that eating only such foods is bad for people, but this is a problem of bad parenting rather than the fault of advertising. If advertising to children were banned, then governments would not be able to use this means of promoting healthy eating.
Julia:
Children are not naive innocents, but clever consumers who can distinguish at a very young age between advertisements and programs, and understand that advertisements can be misleading.
This essential learning process is, in fact, developed through exposure to advertisements. It is also assisted by responsible parenting that does not just leave children alone in front of the television,but spends some time watching with them and discussing what is seen.
Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.

参考答案

D

答案解析

参考译文
安妮:
我真的认为将孩子作为广告目标是非常不道德的,毕竟他们还不能像成人一样具备将广告和真实的节目区别开来的能力。这就意味着将孩子作为目标的广告是具有误导性的,并且是不公平的。显然这样的广告也是非常有效的,否则广告商们不会每年在那些还不能抵抗他们的商品宣传的孩子身上花费上亿美元。
约翰:
将孩子作为目标的广告会产生不良的社会影响,因为其中大部分广告都是关于不健康的食物和饮料的。鼓励天真的孩子消费高脂、高糖、多盐的食物在道德上是错误的,因为这将会使他们肥胖、不健康,还会让他们养成伴随他们一生的不良饮食习惯。社会将会为这些孩子最终需要的医疗护理付出高昂的代价。
莉莉:
我认为禁止广告是对言论自由的严重限制。公司有权告知公众任何一种合法产品。否则的话发明就会受到限制,而新公司就会发现很难在已经有所成就的竞争对手面前成功推广他们的产品。孩子也有权利从更宽广的信息源中接收信息,并做出自己的决定。
罗斯:
孩子天生喜欢高脂、高糖的食物。这些食物给予孩子们玩耍所需要的能量,并使他们健康成长。当然,不可否认,只吃这样的食物对人是有害的,但这是父母教育不善的结果,并不是广告的错。如果禁止向孩子们播放广告,那么政府也不能将此作为宣传健康饮食的途径了。
茱莉亚:
孩子并不是完全无知的,而是聪明的消费者,他们在很小的年龄就能够将广告和节目区别开来,并且能够理解广告有时是有误导性的。事实上,这一至关重要的学习过程是通过暴露于广告环境之下而形成的。同样还需要负责的是父母的教育,父母不能仅仅将孩子留在电视机前,还要花时间和他们一起看电视并对所看到的内容进行讨论。
【精析】主旨题。安妮对将孩子定为目标的广告态度是“,This means that advertising aimed at children is misleading and unfair.”她认为将孩子作为目标的广告是具有误导性的,并且是不公平的。这与D项“孩子们很容易被广告误导。”观点相符,故选D。
