  綜合類-閱讀判斷 

 TV Game Shows

  One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best seller" lists 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 prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars 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. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal. 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 humiliation 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.

  注釋:

  1. the size of the audience:觀眾的數(shù)目、規(guī)模。size指規(guī)模、數(shù)量等;audience是集合名詞,當(dāng)它表達(dá)一個整體概念時,后面的動詞用單數(shù);若表達(dá)整體中的具體的成員時,動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

  2.best seller:暢銷書,暢銷品

  3.…with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies:……其發(fā)行量已不到10萬冊

  4.TV viewer:電視觀眾

  5.overnight:是副詞,意為“一夜之間”。又如:Byron became famous overnight.拜倫一夜成名。

  6.This is the principle behind…for prizes and money:這就是存在于電視“智力競賽”表演背后的原理,這些表演促使普通老百姓為了獎品和獎金走上電視玩游戲。

  7.give away:送掉,發(fā)給,贈給

  8.for fun:為了好玩,為了開心。類似的表達(dá)法還有:for a change 為了改變一下,為了換換花樣。

  9.文中的famous意為“著名的”。同義詞有noted,renowned,popular,distinguished等。

  10.television personality:電視明星

  11. It turned out that the show's producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand.原來,在幕后操縱的節(jié)目制片人已提前將問題的答案告訴類那些最受(觀眾)歡迎的參賽者。

  12.scandal:丑聞,丑事

  13.to be on:在文中是“上演”之意

  答案與題解:

  1.A 文章第一段最后一句講電視可以使任何事物或任何人一夜成名。

  2.B 第二段第一句話提到的有獎“電視智力比賽”背后運作的原理,指的是第一段最后一句話所講的“電視可以使任何事物或任何人一夜成名”。而不是所謂“讓普通人上電視參加有獎比賽”。This 一詞作為一種銜接手段,常用來指上文剛剛提到的內(nèi)容。

  3.C 文中只提到“電視智力競賽”的獲勝者會得到價值不等的獎品和獎金,并未提到其來源。

  4.B 文中第三段提到為了吸引觀眾,節(jié)目制片人主動把答案事先告訴了Charles Van Doren。

  5.B Charles Van Doren在“電視智力競賽”中作弊的丑聞早在20世紀(jì)50年代就被當(dāng)時比賽中的一位失敗者揭發(fā)出來,“智力競賽”這部電影只是在40年后從中汲取類素材。

  6.A 第三段中講“電視智力競賽”仍舊在電視上放映,只是人們對它的態(tài)度不再像從前那樣認(rèn)真。

  7.B 文章結(jié)尾處說今天“電視智力競賽”的獲獎?wù)邆儷@得的真正的獎勵是在數(shù)百萬的觀眾面前亮相,但他們?nèi)耘f能得到一些錢。

  譯文:電視“智力競賽”表演

  電視最迷人的方面之一就是其觀眾的人數(shù)多、規(guī)模大。一本小說即使“最暢銷”,其發(fā)行量 也不到10萬冊。但一部受人歡迎的電視劇可以有7 000萬的觀眾。電視可以使任何事物或任何人

  這就存在于電視“智力競賽”表演背后的原理,這些表演促使普通老百姓為了獎品和獎金 走上電視玩游戲。智力測驗?zāi)軌蚴谷魏我粋€人成為明星,它也能使你為了好玩花掉許多錢。但這 些錢帶來了許多社會問題。例如,20世紀(jì)50年代“智力競賽”在美國就非常流行,幾乎所有人 都觀看這種節(jié)目。查爾斯?范?多林是一位英語教師,在贏得了幾場比賽后,變得非常富有,甚 至成了電視明星。但有一位失敗者證明多林是在騙人。原來,在幕后操縱的節(jié)目制片人已提前將 問題的答案告訴了那些最受(觀眾)歡迎的參賽者。為什么呢?因為如果觀眾討厭_獎的人,那 他們就會關(guān)掉電視。這一騙局產(chǎn)生了一個巨大的丑聞。40年后,人們根據(jù)這個敵事拍了一部名叫 “智力競賽”的電影。

  多林不再參與電視節(jié)目T,但智力競賽仍在進(jìn)行,盡管人們已不再像以前那樣嚴(yán)肅對待它了。 事實上,有些智力競賽是盡可能做得荒謬。有些節(jié)目送一些陌生人一起去旅游,或讓那些新婚夫 婦在電視上打架,或者用羞辱來懲罰那些失敗者?,F(xiàn)在的娛樂是看^^們怎樣做才能上電視。人們 仍在諏錢,但真正的獎勵是熊在數(shù)百萬的觀眾面前亮相。
