第四节

对比题：文章中出现的语言现象——对比关系：

1.极端对比：opposite、on the other hand、on the contrary 肯定出题，黑白分明，适当缩小阅读量，进行猜测可以反推的

2.一般对比：than 、as…as 、the same as ，在文章中出现一般不重要，但在选项中出现就要非常小心，一般都不对。

3. 写作方法题。答题要问What? 能回答，选项是对的。

4.容易出题的地方：转折、例子、灭绝（绝对）

［００１］（读文章之前，心里一定要记住：转折、例子、比较绝的话是出题点，用笔画出来！）

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，显著的：outstanding ） above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

注：点名文章讲的脱口秀，而且是JS和OW脱口秀

the rest 其他的，剩余的

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（有as…as，不值得注意，，意思是：像B一样A > 能让你有多震惊就有多震惊）. 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 societys moral catastrophes (灾难),yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments(困境) of other peoples lives.

注：intrigue 密谋、私通 intriguing 吸引人的，引起兴趣的（别人在嘀嘀咕咕，你当然感兴趣了）

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 individuals quality of life. Topics range from（对应选项的主题） teaching your children responsibility, managing your work weekly, to getting to know your neighbors. （小并列不重要，综合起来就行）

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（读起来像倒.）倾销，反倾销anti-dump

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main target audience are middle - class Americans. Most of these people have the time. money, and stability to deal with lifes tougher（更加困难的） problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with（和…混为一体） 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 shows 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具有讽刺意味的（iron铁、熨斗，老有人念错，因此讽刺）

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（原文中的词如果特别难，选项中也有就一般不对）

D) relatively formal

A) remain fascinated（及其着迷的，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.

注：第三段最后举了三个例子。

24.Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both________.

A) ironical

B) sensitive

C) instructive （引你进入结构）

D) cynical

注：instructive-in引导 struct结构→有启发的，cynical愤世嫉俗的

25.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_______.

A) have monopolized（独占、垄断，〈mon- 一个，独身，如和尚〉） the talk show circuit （时间范围扩大）

B) exploit the weaknesses in human nature

C) appear at different times of the day

D) are targeted at different audiences

注：monopolise垄断，D对应倒数第二段。
