问题     Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality(道德)to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing(迷人的) predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives.
    Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite  direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors and so on.
    Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
    Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems.  Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.
    While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically(讽刺地), both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world. [br] Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
选项 A、A new type of robot.
B、Racist hatred.
C、Family budget planning.
D、Street violence.
答案 C
解析 推理题。本题问的是：下述哪一个话题可能出现在Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀中?根据第3段和第5段第1句和第2句“Clean as it is the Oprah Winfrey show is not for everyone． The show’s main target audience are middle-class Americans．Most of these people have the time， money，and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems”可知，Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀侧重于社会和个人生活质量的改善，话题涉及教育孩子要有责任感，如何管理你的工作以及结识邻居。Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀内容干净，不见得适合每一个人，目标观众是中产阶级，他们有时间、有钱，有稳固的能力解决生活中的难题，因此家庭预算计划更有可能成为她的话题，故选C 。
