科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年廈門雙十中學(xué)高一英語半期考試卷 題型：任務(wù)型閱讀

 

說明：閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從A-F選項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x項(xiàng)作為每段的標(biāo)題，選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

A.      Current situation and future of reality shows

B.      Audience’s reaction to reality TV

C.      Critics’ relevant comments

D.      Attractions for producers and participants

E.       Definition of “watch and dial ”show

F.       Introduction to new reality shows

 

 
 
74.

 
 
 European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars” by putting them in unusual situation. “Big Brother” (created in Holland) was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day. It was called a “watch and dial” show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay.

75.

“Big Brother” was probably the first of the new reality shows, but such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal(有吸引力) by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest” by eliminating(排除) participants(參與者) as the series progresses .So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio. Then there are those that test people’s abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoming an interior designer or a top model.

 
 
76.

Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but people watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”. It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can’t look back. But with television, we can watch in our own homes. We watch, but we don’t have to admit it to anyone.

 
 
77.

The TV companies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enormous(巨大的) advertising revenue. They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors won’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them? Well, for fame and money of course. In the past, appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people. You had to be good at something, like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any more

 
 
78.

It seems that most shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall .And it varies from country to country too. For example ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance（遺產(chǎn)）.Both were cancelled after one episode(一集). Perhaps the novelty(新鮮感) has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality show will probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one .
