Question 12 is based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage Two

听力原文

        A study has found that educational TV shows come with an added lesson that influences a child’s behavior. (12) [Children spending more time watching educational programs increase their emotional aggression toward other children.] This shows that children can learn the educational lesson that was intended. However, they’re also learning other things along the way.

        This unintended impact has to do with the portrayal of conflict in media and how preschool-age children comprehend that conflict. TV and movie producers often incorporate an element of bad behavior. This is to teach children a lesson at the end of the program.

        Educational shows have pro-education and pro-social goals. However, conflict between characters is often depicted with characters being unkind to each other, or they may use emotionally aggressive tactics with each other. (13) [Preschool children really don’t get the moral of the story. That’s because it requires that they understand how all the parts of the show fit together. You need pretty complicated cognitive skills and memory skills to be able to do that. These are still developing in young children.]

         However, parents shouldn’t completely constrain children’s viewing. (14) [Parents should, instead, watch with their kids and help them to understand the plot.] (15) [Parents can comment along the way and then explain the message at the end.] They should explain how certain types of behavior were not appropriate. This will help children interpret and get the message and help them learn to watch the show for those messages.

12. What does the passage say about children watching educational programs?（关于儿童观看教育类节目，文章说了什么？）

解析：C。录音开头部分提到，儿童花更多时间观看教育节目会增加他们对其他孩子的情绪攻击。C项与此内容相符，其中的emotionally aggressive对应录音中的emotional aggression，故为正确答案。

错项排除：录音中虽然提到，他们可以学到其他东西（other things），但这些东西指的是对其他孩子的情绪攻击，并不是knowledge，故A项排除。B项中的interact with their peers在录音中无依据，故排除。D项利用pro-education children进行干扰，但这里没有说为上学做准备，D项语义理解偏差，故排除。
