TV 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 principle 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 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 show's producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned 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 involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't 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 humiliating 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.

New Product Will Save Lives
Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs (蟲(chóng)子), which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Parton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.
Andy Headland, Genera's marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecasted good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.
Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.

The Race into Space
American millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. "I spent sixty years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives," Tito explained. He loved his time in space. "Being in space and looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."
This kind of experience isn't cheap. It cost $20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream. So he was happy. "For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I didn't have any money," he told reporters.
On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world's second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African Businessman. At the age of twenty-eight. He also paid $20 million for the eight-day trip.
Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn't exist yet.
Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it's so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.
That day may soon here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an island in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia and California, seven days in space, and a vacation in Tonga For $2 million.
However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA's deputy assistant adminis-trator for space flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?

答案與解析
第一篇
1． A。題干：電視能讓一個(gè)乞丐一夜成名。答案查找的線索詞為：world—famous overnight(一夜成名)或beggar(乞丐)。從第一段開(kāi)始查找，不難在第一段的最后一句中找到含有world．famous overnight的相關(guān)句，原句說(shuō)電視可讓anything(任何事)和anyone(任何人)一夜成名，所以包括beggar。故選A。
2． B。題干：猜謎節(jié)目背后的原則是為了讓普通人參加贏取獎(jiǎng)品和獎(jiǎng)金的電視節(jié)目。答案查找的線索詞為：ordinary people(普通人)。從第二段開(kāi)始查找(按照出題先后順序原則)，不難在第二段的第一句中找到含有ordinarypeople的相關(guān)句。對(duì)照原旬和問(wèn)題句，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原旬的結(jié)構(gòu)與題干的結(jié)構(gòu)有所不同：原句中有代詞this，說(shuō)“這就是猜謎節(jié)目背后的規(guī)則”，根據(jù)代詞指代前一句內(nèi)容的規(guī)則，可知“TV can make anything or anyone well—known overnight．”才是猜謎節(jié)目背后的規(guī)則。所以該句說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。
3． C。題干：獲勝者的獎(jiǎng)品和錢(qián)通常由電視明星和大的公司提供。答案查找的線索詞為：provide(提供)或companies and TV stars(公司和電視明星)。從第二段開(kāi)始查找，但查遍全文也沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些線索詞，可見(jiàn)該問(wèn)題并沒(méi)在原文中提到，所以答案為C。
4． B。題干：Charles Van Doren被證明通過(guò)勸說(shuō)節(jié)目制作人事先給他答案來(lái)實(shí)施欺騙。答案查找的線索詞為：Charles Van Doren(人名)和cheating(欺騙)。從第二段開(kāi)始查找，不難從第二段的第四旬找到含有Charles Van Doren的相關(guān)句，再找另一線索詞cheating，于是又進(jìn)一步在該段找到直接相關(guān)句。對(duì)照原文和問(wèn)題句，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原文是說(shuō)“為了吸引觀眾，節(jié)目制作人主動(dòng)把答案事先告訴Charles Van Doren”，而不是被迫，所以該句說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。
5． B。題干：大量電視節(jié)目中的欺騙丑聞40年以后才在名為“Quiz Show”的電影中被曝光。答案查找的線索詞為：40 years和Quiz Show。從第二段末開(kāi)始查找，在第二段的最后一句找到含有這兩個(gè)線索詞的直接相關(guān)句。不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原文并不是說(shuō)“40年后該電影才曝光這一丑聞”，原句只是說(shuō)“名為Quiz Show的電影在40年后才上演”，所以該句說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。
6． A。題干：現(xiàn)在的游戲節(jié)目沒(méi)有以前那么嚴(yán)肅了。答案查找的線索詞為：nowadays(現(xiàn)在)或seriously(嚴(yán)肅地)。從第三段開(kāi)始查找，在第三段的第二句中找到含有seriously的相關(guān)句。對(duì)照原句和問(wèn)題句，原旬說(shuō)“這種節(jié)目仍然在電視上播放，但人們對(duì)它的態(tài)度不再像從前那樣認(rèn)真了?！边@與問(wèn)題旬的大意相符，所以這句話正確。
7． B。題干：當(dāng)前電視節(jié)目的獲勝者不再是從節(jié)目中獲得金錢(qián)。答案查找的線索詞為：getmoney from the shows(從節(jié)目中得到錢(qián))。從第三段開(kāi)始查找，在第三段的最后一句中找到與get money from the shows語(yǔ)義相近的表達(dá)：win money。原句說(shuō)人們?nèi)匀豢梢在A得錢(qián)，所以問(wèn)題句的大意與原句不符。
第二篇
1． A。題干：Genera技術(shù)公司研制出一種方法，這種方法可以確定水是否清潔。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞可以定位到原文第二句，可知題干與原文相符，故答案為A。
2． C。題干：在成立Genera公司之前，Parton曾在一家英國(guó)水廠工作。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞Parton和British water company進(jìn)行定位，發(fā)現(xiàn)原文沒(méi)有相關(guān)信息，故選C。
3． B。題干：這種新產(chǎn)品在美國(guó)獲得了商業(yè)上的巨大成功。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞USA可以定位到第二段的首句，可知預(yù)計(jì)該產(chǎn)品在美國(guó)會(huì)賣(mài)得很好，故還沒(méi)在美國(guó)上市。題干的意思與原文不符，故選B。
4． A。題干：這種測(cè)試產(chǎn)品每件售價(jià)42500美元。利用題干中的關(guān)鍵詞42500可以定位到第二段的第二句，同原文意思相符，故選A。
5． B。題干：年底前，Genera公司又訂購(gòu)了25件這種測(cè)試產(chǎn)品。利用題干中的關(guān)鍵詞25可以定位到第二段，可知Genera公司本身是賣(mài)這種測(cè)試產(chǎn)品的，不是它又訂購(gòu)了25件這種產(chǎn)品：與原文意思相反，故選B。
6． C。題干：英國(guó)政府正幫助Parton銷(xiāo)售這種產(chǎn)品。利用題干中的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行定位，原文根本沒(méi)有提到這一信息，故選C。

2． B。題干：Mark Shuttleworth是來(lái)自美國(guó)的工程師。將人名Mark Shuttleworth回到原文定位，文章第三段指出Mark ShuRleworth是一位南非商人。因此，本題與文章內(nèi)容不符。答案為B。
3． c。題干：Tito和Shuttlewolth都攀登過(guò)珠穆朗瑪峰。文章沒(méi)有涉及二人攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的信息。因此答案為C。
4． A。題干：太空冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)有大約100名顧客在等著太空旅行。用數(shù)字100回到文中定位，發(fā)現(xiàn)文章第四段第二句提到：“這家公司已有一百多人在等待飛往太空的名單上登記?！北揪渑c文章內(nèi)容相符，因此，答案為A。
5． B。題干：太空探險(xiǎn)公司已經(jīng)擁有一架宇宙飛船。由中心名詞spaceship回到文章定位，文章第四段最后指出：“不過(guò)運(yùn)載他們的宇宙飛船還沒(méi)出現(xiàn)。”因此，本題答案為B。
6． A。題干：IOS將從Tonga發(fā)送旅客進(jìn)入太空。用地名“湯加群島”回到原文定位，文章第六段談到了太空軌道傳送公司的計(jì)劃，指出進(jìn)入太空的旅行將從湯加群島的一個(gè)島
嶼出發(fā)。本題與文章內(nèi)容相符。因此答案為A。
7． A。題干：Bill Readdy認(rèn)為太空飛行是非常危險(xiǎn)的。用人名Bill Readdy回到原文定位，文章最后一段提到太空旅行依然是非常危險(xiǎn)的，接著B(niǎo)ill Readdy還指出太空旅行的死亡率是1／500，正是由于這一點(diǎn)，也許太空旅行真正啟程尚需時(shí)目。因此可以推斷，Bill Readdy認(rèn)為太空飛行非常危險(xiǎn)。本題與文章內(nèi)容相符，故答案為A。

1． A。題干：r Dennis Tito是第一位太空旅行者。由專(zhuān)有名詞Dennis Tito定位，這是第一題，因此回到文章第一段，找到相關(guān)句。第一段介紹了美國(guó)富豪Dennis Tito作為第一位太空游客的經(jīng)歷。因此，本題的答案為A。
2． B。題干：Mark Shuttleworth是來(lái)自美國(guó)的工程師。將人名Mark Shuttleworth回到原文定位，文章第三段指出Mark ShuRleworth是一位南非商人。因此，本題與文章內(nèi)容不符。答案為B。
3． c。題干：Tito和Shuttlewolth都攀登過(guò)珠穆朗瑪峰。文章沒(méi)有涉及二人攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的信息。因此答案為C。
4． A。題干：太空冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)有大約100名顧客在等著太空旅行。用數(shù)字100回到文中定位，發(fā)現(xiàn)文章第四段第二句提到：“這家公司已有一百多人在等待飛往太空的名單上登記?！北揪渑c文章內(nèi)容相符，因此，答案為A。
5． B。題干：太空探險(xiǎn)公司已經(jīng)擁有一架宇宙飛船。由中心名詞spaceship回到文章定位，文章第四段最后指出：“不過(guò)運(yùn)載他們的宇宙飛船還沒(méi)出現(xiàn)。”因此，本題答案為B。
6． A。題干：IOS將從Tonga發(fā)送旅客進(jìn)入太空。用地名“湯加群島”回到原文定位，文章第六段談到了太空軌道傳送公司的計(jì)劃，指出進(jìn)入太空的旅行將從湯加群島的一個(gè)島
嶼出發(fā)。本題與文章內(nèi)容相符。因此答案為A。
7． A。題干：Bill Readdy認(rèn)為太空飛行是非常危險(xiǎn)的。用人名Bill Readdy回到原文定位，文章最后一段提到太空旅行依然是非常危險(xiǎn)的，接著B(niǎo)ill Readdy還指出太空旅行的死亡率是1／500，正是由于這一點(diǎn)，也許太空旅行真正啟程尚需時(shí)目。因此可以推斷，Bill Readdy認(rèn)為太空飛行非常危險(xiǎn)。本題與文章內(nèi)容相符，故答案為A。
