22、prehensionPart ARead the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In the world of entertainment,TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of spaceon daytime television.And anyone who watches them regularly
23、knows that each one varies in styleand format.But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content,while at the same timestanding out above the rest,than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of trash talk.The topics on his show areas s
24、hocking as shocking can be.For example,the show takes the eye,common talk show themesof love,sex,cheating,guilt,hate,conflict and morality to a different level.Clearly,the Jerry Springershow is a display and exploitation of societys moral catastrophes,yet people are willing to eat upthe intriguing p
25、redicaments of other peoples lives.Like Jerry Springer,Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme,but Oprah goes in theopposite direction.The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individuals quality oflife.Topics range from teaching your children responsibility,managing your work w
26、eek,to getting toknow your neighbors.Compared to Oprah,the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped onsociety.Jerry ends every show with a final word.He makes a small speech that sums up theentire moral of the show.Hopefully,this is the part where most people will learn something
27、veryvaluable.Clean as it is,the Oprah show is not for everyone.The shows main target audience aremiddle-class Americans.Most of these people have the time,money,and stability to deal with lifestougher problems.Jerry Springer,on the other hand,has more of an association with the youngadults of societ
28、y.These are 18-to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love,relationship,sex,money and peers.They are the ones who see some value and lessons to belearned underneath the shows exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day,both have ruled the talk show circuitfor many
29、 years now.Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong followingfrom large groups of fans.Ironically,both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.50、Compared with other TV talk shows,both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfreyare.A.more family-orientedB.unusua
30、lly popularC.more profoundD.relatively formal51、Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful,thea u d i e n c e.A.remain fascinated by themB.are ready to face up to themC.remain indifferent to themD.are willing to get involved in them52、Which of the following is likely to
31、 be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A.A new type of robot.B.Racist hatred.C.Family budget planning.D.Street violence.53、Despite their different approaches,the two talk shows are bot h.A.ironicalB.sensitiveC.instructiveD.cynical5 4 We can learn from the passage that the two talk s hows.A.have monop
32、olized the talk show circuitB.exploit the weaknesses in human natureC.appear at different times of the dayD.are targeted at different audiencesText 2Thirty years ago the Today program was unpredictable to the point of chaos with presenterJack da Manio improvising and thinking aloud,always eager for
33、a joke or prank.Through the studiotrooped a procession of English eccentricsa man who ate light bulbs,another who ate spiders,achap who was touring the country leapfrogging ail the pillar boxes,a hard-headed individual whocould play Rule Britannia by hitting himself on the head with a nine-inch span
34、ner-and many others.Talking dogs and singing cats were almost common place.By the mid-70s,however,Today had got to the point where,for example,it had on onemorning Libby Purves making the first live radio broadcast from China,someone else in Dublincovering the Popes visit,another presenter in Margat
35、e where the Liberals were conferring,and ananchorman in London.When you have reached this stage,there is no room for talking dogs,and humor and whimshave to be confined to odd comers.Despite its more serious approach,however,Today has somehow retained its character andits tone of voice.And being a l
36、ive,high-risk program,it can still go horribly wrong.Only recently aneminent doctor launched into a lengthy on-air harangue（慷慨激昂的演讲）against the productionteam and refused to listen to the questions he was supposed to be answering.Such things canalways happen-and so can studio rows,sometimes even inv
37、olving the presenters.There was amemorable spat（小争吵）not long ago when a rattled Nigel Lawson accused Redhead of being awell-known supporter of the Labor party.But rows or no rows,Today is where the ministers and would-be ministers want to be heard.As Brian Redhead is fond of saying:If you want to pl
38、ant a word in the nations ear,come onToday.His other favorite remark is:We set the agenda for the day.Both statements are true of aprogram with a steady weekly audience of 6 million-easily the largest on Radio 4.55 Until the 1970s,the Today program was quite a.A.serious program B.humorous programC.r
39、eligious program D.political program56 According to the passage,the present Today p r o g r a m.A.is more serious B.has reached the point of chaosC.is not well arranged D.is rather obscure57、A doctor declining to answer the set of questions serves as an example to show theToday p r o g r a m.A.often
40、 makes serious mistakesB.leads to terrible quarrelsC.sometimes does not go according to the planD.has become more serious58If you want to plant a word in the nations ear,come on Today implies that the Todayprogram is.A.what the ministers like to listen to B.where the ministers like to speakC.extreme
41、ly influential D.politically biased59、It can be inferred from the passage that Today is a.A.TV program B.stage programC.radio program D.newspaperText 3The sources of anti-Christian feeling were many and complex.On the more intangible side,there was a general pique against the unwanted intrusion of t
42、he Western countries;there was anunderstandable tendency to seek an external scapegoat for internal disorders only tangentiallyattributable to the West and perhaps most important,there was a virile tradition of ethnocentricism,vented long before against Indian Buddhism,which,since the seventeenth ce
43、ntury,focused onWestern Christianity.Accordingly,even before the missionary movement really got under way inthe mid-nineteenth century,it was already at a disadvantage.After 1860,as missionary activity inthe hinterland expanded,it quickly became apparent that in addition to the intangibles,numeroust
44、angible grounds for Chinese hostility abounded.In part,the very presence of the missionary evoked attack.They were,after all,the firstforeigners to leave the treaty ports and venture into the interior,and for a long time they werevirtually the only foreigners whose quotidian labors carried them to t
45、he farthest reaches of theChinese empire.For many of the indigenous population,therefore,the missionary stood as auniquely visible symbol against which opposition to foreign intrusion could be vented.in part,too,the missionary was attacked because the manner in which he made hispresence felt after 1
46、860 seemed almost calculated to offend.By indignantly waging battle againstthe notion that China was the sole fountainhead of civilization and,more particularly,by his assaulton many facets of Chinese culture,the missionary directly undermined the cultural hegemony ofthe gentry class.Also,in countle
47、ss ways,he posed a threat to the gentrys traditional monopoly ofsocial leadership.Missionaries,particularly Catholics,frequently assumed the garb of theConfucian literati.They were the only persons at the local level,aside from the gentry,who werepermitted to communicate with the authorities as soci
48、al equals.And they enjoyed an extraterritorialstatus in the interior that gave them greater immunity to Chinese law than had ever beenpossessed by the gentry.Although it was the avowed policy of the Chinese government after 1860 that the newtreaties were to be strictly adhered to,in practice impleme
49、ntation depended on the wholeheartedaccord of provincial authorities.There is abundant evidence that cooperation was dilatory.At theroot of this lay the interactive nature of ruler and ruled.In a severely understaffed bureaucracy that ruled as much by suasion as by might,theofficial,almost always a
50、stranger in the locality of his service,depended on the active cooperationof the local gentry class.Energetic attempts to implement treaty provisions concerning missionaryactivities,in direct defiance of gentry sentiment,ran the risk of alienating this class and destroyingfuture effectiveness.60、In
