7、 Games Shows One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the best sellers list 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 pri

8、nciple behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in

9、 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 shows producer

10、s, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they would turn the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer

11、involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they arent 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 humili

12、ating 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. 16 TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 The principle behind quiz or game sho

13、ws is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren was proved

14、 to be cheating by persuading the Shows producers to give him the answers beforehand. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 20 The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie Quiz Show. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 Nowadays game show

15、s are not treated as seriously as they used to be. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Winners of present-day TV shows no longer get money from the shows. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2

Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cell phone (手机 ).

17、 The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze (错综复杂 ) of wrong turn. 2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edisons success in heating in thin line to white, hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that

18、 on October 22, 1879, and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight (点亮着的 )in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he tur

19、ned it on, on September 4,1882. 3 “Many of lifes failures“ the supreme innovator said, “are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up“. Before that magical moment in October 1879. Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light. But in only t

20、wo cases did his experiments work. 4 No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc. attributes some of the companys successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is: “You only fail when you quit“. 5 Ov

21、er two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in h

22、is office because he could not afford the US $ 1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T Car. 6 Failure is harder to bear in todays open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation w

23、orks the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffens company)and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Tita

24、nic had better music. Actually, it wasnt. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品 ) he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself. A.

48、tery recharge time. General Motors EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range, of about 100 miles.
