答案： 1.B 2.A 3.C

Among all kinds of programs, TV talk shows have covered all space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, are the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered(认为) the king of “rubbish talk”. The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Topics are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to(与…相比) Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the general idea of the show.
Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the talk show is not for everyone. The show’s main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life’s tough problems.
Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are people around 20 years old whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, money and drugs. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the talk shows.
(B)4. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.
A. more interesting B. unusually popular C. more detailed D. more formal
(B)5. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows ______.
A. have confidence in themselves B. are ready to face the problems
C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them
(C)6. Which of the following can probably be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A. A new type of robot. B. A star’s daily life.
C. Children’s education. D. Street accident.
(D)7. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show?
A. The show exposes the dark sides of society. B. The show pours poisonous waste into society.
C. Jerry talks about the improvement of society. D. Jerry concludes the whole idea of the show.
(A)8. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ______.
A. attract different people B. show the weaknesses in human nature
C. appear at different times of the day D. have become the only ones of its kind

答案： 4.B 5.B 6.C 7.D 8.A
