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. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality(道德)to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing(迷人的) predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives.
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 teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors and so on.
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.
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 problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. 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 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(讽刺地), both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both______.
选项
A、ironical
B、sensitive
C、instructive
D、cynical
答案
C
解析
推理题。本题问的是:尽管方法不同,但两个脱口秀都______。根据第4段第3句和第4句“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”和第5段第6句“They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation"可知,Jerry Springer的脱口秀在节目最后都会对道德问题进行总结,许多人能够从中学到有价值的东西。18到21岁的人也可以从他的节目中获取经验和教训。而通过上述第3个问题我们知道 Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀侧重于社会和个人生活质量的改善,这本身就是很有教育意义的,故选C 。
