问题 共用题干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 100,000 .copies,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 prizes and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thou-sands 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 US 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 cheat-ing. 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 mil-lions.The principle behind quiz or game shows is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money.A: RightB:WrongC: Not mentioned
选项 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
答案 B
解析 答案查找的线索词：world-famous overnight（一夜成名）和beggar（乞丐）。在第一段的最后一句中找到含有world-famous overnight的相关句。原句说，电视可让anything （任何事）和anyone（任何人）一夜成名，当然包括beggar,所以这句话正确。


该句是说“问答节目背后的原则是为了让普通人参加赢取奖品和奖金的电视节目”，答案查找的线索词：ordinary people（普通人）。在第二段的第-句中找到含有ordi-nary people的相关句。原句的结构与问题句的结构有所不同：原句中有代词“this"，说 “这就是猜谜节目背后的原则”，而代词往往指代前-句的内容，可见“TV can make an-ything or anyone well-known overnight”才是猜谜节目背后的原则。所以该句说法错误。


答案查找的线索词：provide（提供）或TV stars and large companies（电视明星和大公司）。查找完全文也没发现这些线索词，可见该问题并没在原文中提到，所以答案为C 项。


该问题句说“一位电视名人，Charles Van Doren，被证明通过说服节目制作人事先给他答案来进行欺骗”。答案查找的线索词：Charles Van Doren（人名）和cheating（欺骗）。从第二段的第四行开始发现含有Charles Van Doren的相关句，再找另一线索词：cheat-ing，于是又进-步在该段找到直接相关行（7-10行）。原文是说，为了吸引观众，节目制作人主动把答案事先告诉Charles Van Doren。所以该句说法错误。


该问题句说“大量电视节目中的欺骗丑闻40年以后才在名为《Quiz Show》的电影中被曝光。”答案查找的线索词：40 years和Quiz Show．从第二段的最后一句找到含有这两个线索词的直接相关句。发现原文并不是说“40年后该电影才曝光这一丑闻”。原句只是说“名为《Quiz Show》的电影在40年后上映”，所以该句说法错误。


答案查找的线索词：nowadays（现在）或seriously（严肃地）。在第三段的第二句中可以找到含有seriously的相关句。原句说“这种节目仍然在电视上播放，但人们对它的态度不再像从前那样认真”，问题句的意思与之相符，所以正确。


答案查找的线索词：get money from the shows（从节目中得到钱）。在第三段的最后一句中找到与“get money from the shows”语义相近的词“win money"。原句说人们仍然可以赢得钱，所以问题句的意思与原句不符。
