Passage one

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.

l         答案及解析：

1．文章标题分析：TV Games Shows

（第1段最后一句） TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.

    （第2段第1句）This is the principle behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money.

划线句解释了标题TV Games Shows的含义，即：让人们在电视上为了奖品和金钱而竞技。

 

2．直接解题：

1． TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight.

A. Right            B. Wrong           C. Not mentioned

1． A。题干分析：大意：电视能让一个乞丐一夜间闻名世界。因为句子结构简单，内容单一，因此看成一层信息，利用句子中出现的特征词beggar作为答案线索，注意句子中的修饰词world-famous，这样发现答案相关句（没有发现beggar，但发现了与题干中的修饰词world-famous相呼应的词语：well known）： TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.该句说“电视能让任何人一夜成名”，因此判断问题句的说法正确。

 

2．  The principle behind quiz or game shows is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money.

A. Right            B. Wrong           C. Not mentioned

2． B。分析：题干分析：大意：“测验”或“比赛”表演的原则就是让普通人上电视，参与为了为了奖品和金钱而竞技。因为句子结构简单，内容较单一，因此看成一层信息借助题干中出现的特殊词 quiz or game作为答案线索，注意句子中的修饰词ordinary，这样发现答案相关句：

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. 该句中的principle是指前句中的内容“TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight/电视能让任何人一夜成名”，因此判断问题句的说法与原文的说法不一致，因此答案为“错误”

 

3．   Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners.

A. Right            B. Wrong           C. Not mentioned

3．C．分析：题干分析：大意：通常是由电视明星个大公司向获胜者提供奖品和金钱。因为句子结构简单，内容较单一，因此看成一层信息借助题干中出现的特征词TV stars 和 large companies作为答案线索，这样发现文章根本没有这两个词出现， 也没有与这两个词相关的词语出现，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。

 

4．  One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren was proved to be cheating by persuading the Show's producers to give him the answers beforehand.

A. Right            B. Wrong           C. Not mentioned

4． B。分析：题干分析：大意：Charles Van Doren是一个电视名人，他被证明通过劝说节目的制作人给他提前提供答案来进行欺骗。因为这个句子较长，而且涉及到的信息也较多，因此把句子进行信息划分：One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren + （Charles Van Doren） was proved to be cheating + by persuading the Show's producers to give him the answers beforehand，利用题干中出现的特征词Charles Van Doren作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：Charles Van Doren, an
