　　第四節(jié)

　　對比題：文章中出現(xiàn)的語言現(xiàn)象——對比關(guān)系：

　　1.極端對比：opposite、on the other hand、on the contrary 肯定出題，黑白分明，適當縮小閱讀量，進行猜測可以反推的

　　2.一般對比：than 、as…as 、the same as ，在文章中出現(xiàn)一般不重要，但在選項中出現(xiàn)就要非常小心，一般都不對。

　　3. 寫作方法題。答題要問What? 能回答，選項是對的。

　　4.容易出題的地方：轉(zhuǎn)折、例子、滅絕(絕對)

　　[001](讀文章之前，心里一定要記�。恨D(zhuǎn)折、例子、比較絕的話是出題點，用筆畫出來!)

　　In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out(突出的，顯著的：outstanding ) above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

　　注：點名文章講的脫口秀，而且是JS和OW脫口秀

　　the rest 其他的，剩余的

　　Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk(廢話)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be(有as…as，不值得注意， 能讓你有多震驚就有多震驚). For example, the show takes the ever - common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (災(zāi)難),yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments(困境) of other people's lives.

　　注：intrigue 密謀、私通 intriguing 吸引人的，引起興趣的(別人在嘀嘀咕咕，你當然感興趣了)

　　eat up

　　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(對應(yīng)選項的主題) teaching your children responsibility, managing your work weekly, to getting to know your neighbors. (小并列不重要，綜合起來就行)

　　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.

　　注：dump(讀起來像倒.)傾銷，反傾銷anti-dump

　　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(更加困難的) problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with(和…混為一體) the young adults of society. These are 18 - to 21 - year - olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers(同事、同僚). 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, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.

　　注：1. circuit圈子

　　2. ironically具有諷刺意味的(iron鐵、熨斗，老有人念錯，因此諷刺)

　　21.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are______.

　　A) more family - oriented

　　B) unusually popular

　　C) more profound(原文中的詞如果特別難，選項中也有就一般不對)

　　D) relatively formal

　　注：第一段

　　22.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience______.

　　A) remain fascinated(及其著迷的，想fans) by them

　　B) are ready to face up to them

　　C) remain indifferent to them

　　D) are willing to get involved in them

　　注：第二段eat up，B和D是一回事。

　　23.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

　　A) A new type of robot.

　　B) Racist hatred.

　　C) Family budget planning.

　　D) Street violence.
