The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland , the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which comes true because many of the
programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “ against human rights and civilization”.
【小題1】Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually _____.
A.successful people | B.pop TV stars | C.a(chǎn)ttractive people | D.famous film stars |
A.TV producers who make reality TV shows |
B.TV actors who take part in reality TV shows. |
C.TV viewers who telephone reality TV shows |
D.TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows |

One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill of the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, and his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi’s forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby’s behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight about it? Let them watch it all they want!
【小題1】Why did the author bring a TV set into his son’s room?
A.To make his son keep quiet. | B.To spend the night by watching TV programs. |
C.In order not to let his son feel lonely. | D.To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible. |
A.unexpected | B.encouraging | C.exciting | D.calm |
A.a(chǎn) doctor | B.a(chǎn) reporter | C.a(chǎn)n editor | D.a(chǎn) teacher |

科目:高中英語 來源:20102011學(xué)年度河北省高二第二次階段考試英語試題 題型:閱讀理解
I often write about the bad state of television these days, but recently my mom told me about a story she saw on 60 Minutes that was inspiring, educational, and entertaining for the whole family. I went to the show’s website to see for myself. My mom was right. At a time when even Barbara Walters says she’s really bored with celebrities interviews, this one will not disappoint.
It’s the story of Derek Paravicini, a 30-year-old who was born three months early, physically disabled (he can’t button his own shirt), blind, and severely autistic(自閉的).
Yet, through total luck and coincidence, his family discovered that Derek had a remarkable musical talent when he was three.
Derek can hear any musical composition one time and play it perfectly on the piano.
That’s right. He only has to hear it once.
Even more unbelievable, his brain, like a computer, can keep many songs that he can immediately repeat when asked. But his talent isn’t limited to just learning things by heart. Derek is a true musical genius and artist who plays beautifully in a wide range of styles and can make his own music.
With his talent, Derek has raised millions of dollars putting on charity concerts. He also donates his time to senior centers where he acts as a human jukebox (自動唱機) machine, taking requests from senior citizens who haven’t heard their favorite songs for decades.
As it turns out, Derek loves people and his extraordinary talent has been the key to unlocking his personality and social development.
If you want to inspire your family, pop some popcorn and sit everyone down to watch this excellent piece of journalism. If your kids are like mine, it will cause a great family discussion about the definition of “disability” and the extraordinary ability of the human brain and spirit. It may even give you the perfect answer the next time your child says he or she “can’t” do something. Now that’s priceless.
Who says there’s nothing good on TV?
1. From the first paragraph, we know that 60 minutes is a TV program on .
A. interviewing celebrities
B. interviewing the disabled
C. the latest news round the world
D. stating the positive influence of TV
2. How does Derek help the elderly?
A. By buying them a jukebox machine.
B. By building senior centers for them.
C. By singing the old songs they ask for.
D. By playing the piano to raise money for them.
3. In the opinion of the author, Derek can .
A. attract the whole family to watch TV together
B. cause family members to help the disabled
C. help kids understand the ability of their brains
D. encourage kids to accept challenges in life
4.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .
A. prove that there is something good on TV
B. introduce a disabled but gifted musician
C. call on people to show more love to the disabled
D. express personal admiration for Derek Paravicini
