TV Games Shows

One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best sellers" list with a sale of fewer than 100,000copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.

This is the principle behind "quiz " or " game" shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show's producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title" Quiz Show " is on 40 years later.

Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.

參考答案:

TV Games Shows

1. A. 答案查找的線索詞：world-famous overnight(一夜成名)或 beggar(乞丐)。從第一段開始查找，不難在第一段的最后一句中找到含有world-famous overnight的相關句，于是對照原句和問題句，原句說電視可讓anything(一切)和 anyone(一切人)一夜成名，所以當然包括beggar，所以這句話正確。

2. B. 該句是一長句，解這道題的關鍵首先是讀懂問題句的結構，了解它說的是什么。該句是說“猜謎節(jié)目背后的原則是為了讓普通人參加贏取獎品和獎金的電視節(jié)目”。答案查找的線索詞：ordinary people (普通人)。從第二段開始查找(因為問題一的答案在第一句的最后依據(jù))，不難在第二段的第一句中找到含有ordinary people的相關句。對照原句和問題句，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原句的結構與問題句的結構有所不同： 原句中有代詞：this，說“這就是猜謎節(jié)目背后的原則”，而代詞往往指代前一句的內(nèi)容，可見“TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.”才是猜謎節(jié)目背后的原則。所以該句說法錯誤。

3. C. 答案查找的線索詞：provide(提供)或 companies and TV stars(電視明星和大公司)。從第二段開始查找，但查找完全文也沒發(fā)現(xiàn)這些線索詞，可見該問題并沒在原文中提到，所以答案為：not mentioned。

4. B. 答案為B。該句也是長句，所以首先要弄清楚問題句的大意。 該問題句說“Charles Van Doren被證明通過勸說節(jié)目制作人事先給他答案來進行欺騙”。 答案查找的線索詞：Charles Van Doren(人名) 和cheating(欺騙)。從第二段開始查找，不難從第二段的第五行開始找到含有Charles Van Doren的相關句，再找另一線索詞：cheating，于是又進一步在該段找到直接相關行(7-10行)。對照原文和問題句，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原文是說“為了吸引觀眾，節(jié)目制作人主動把答案事先告訴Charles Van Doren”。所以該句說法錯誤。

5. B. 該句也是長句，所以首先要弄清楚問題句的大意。 該問題句說“大量電視節(jié)目中的欺騙丑聞40年以后才在名為‘quiz show’的電影中被暴光”。 答案查找的線索詞：40 years和 Quiz Show。從第二段短末開始查找，不難從第二段的最后一句找到含有這兩個線索詞的直接相關句。不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原文并不是說“40年后該電影才暴光這一丑聞”，原句只是說“名為Quiz Show的電影在40年后才上演”，所以該句說法錯誤。

6. A. 答案查找的線索詞：nowadays(現(xiàn)在)或 seriously(嚴肅地)。從第三段開始查找，不難在第三段的第二句中找到含有seriously的相關句。對照原句和問題句，原句說“這種節(jié)目仍然在電視上播放，但人們對它的態(tài)度不再象從前那樣認真。”，與問題句的大意相符，所以這句話正確。

7. B. 答案查找的線索詞：get money from the shows(從節(jié)目中得到錢)。從第三段開始查找，不難在第三段的最后一句中找到與get money from the shows語義相近的詞：win money.對照原句和問題句，原句說人們?nèi)匀豢梢在A得錢，所以問題句的大意與原句不符。
