仔细阅读
In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of \\
1.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are_____.(D)
A. more family-oriented
B. more profound
C. relatively formal
D. unusually popular
解析：根据文章第1段第3句“但是没有两个节目能像Jerry Springs和Oprah Winfrey那样，在内容上完全不同却又都比其他所有节目突出”和文章最后一段中的“数年来，在电视访谈节目中，这两个节目一直处于领先地位……并拥有庞大而固定的观众群”，可知只有D与文中所陈述的意思相符。
2.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _____.(C)
A. remain indifferent to them
B. are willing to get involved in them
C. remain fascinated by them
D. are ready to face up to them
解析：根据文章第2段最后一句说“显然，Jerry Springer的访谈节目展示和揭露了社会的道德灾难，但人们却乐意关注别人生活中遇到的困难”，特别是eat up, intriguing等词说明了人们对该节目十分着迷，因此，A与文中所陈述的意思相悖；C与文中所表达的意思相符；B、D文中没有提及。
3.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?(D)
A. Street violence.
B. Racist hatred.
C. A new type of robot.
D. Family budget planning.
解析：文章第3段第2、3句说“Oprah访谈节目集中探讨社会状况的改善和个人生活质量的提高。其话题包括培养孩子的责任感，安排自己一周的工作日程及认识你的邻居等”，D属于前面所提到的内容，与文章所陈述的意思相符；A和B都极有可能是Jerry访谈节目的内容，与题意不符；C文中并没有提及。
4.Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both _____.(B)
A. cynical
B. instructive
C. sensitive
D. ironical
解析：从全文来看，Oprah节目谈论的是社会和家庭问题，从第3段末句可知此节目能教会人一些东西；虽然Jerry的节目谈论都是社会的阴暗面，但在每集节目结束前，Jerry都要作简短的发言，总结该集节目的道德意义，而大部分观众，特别是年轻人能从中学到一些非常有用的东西，也能得到一些经验和教训。因此，这两个节目均具有启发性和教育意义，故选B“有益的；教育性的”。
5.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.(A)
A. are targeted at different audiences
B. appear at different times of the day
C. have monopolized the talk show circuit
D. exploit the weaknesses in human nature
解析：根据文章第5段“Oprah的节目主要是针对中产阶级”租“Jerry的节目针对的则是年轻人”可知，这两个节目分别迎合不同观众的口味，A与文章内容相符；文中并没有提到这两个节目的具体播出时间，B错；根据文章第1段：在美国娱乐界，电视访谈节目充斥了日间电视屏幕，而这两个节目只是处于领先而非“垄断”地位，故C错；D无原文依据。
While the mission of public schools has expanded beyond education to include social support and extra-curricular activities, the academic schedule has changed little in more than a century.
Reclaiming the school day for academic instruction and escaping the time-bound traditions of education are vital steps in the school-reform process, says a report released today by the National Education Commission on Time and Learning.

6.Compared with the academic courses more than a hundred years ago, the academic courses now_____.(D)
A. include some extra-curricular activities
B. focus more on education of social support
C. demand students’ more contribution of time
D. remain more or less what they used to be
解析：首段主句中changed little与选项D为近义替换，因此选项D为本题答案。选项A中的extra-curricular activities和选项B中的social support都在第1段提到过，但是它们和该段提到的academic schedule是并列于整个教育系统之下的三个平行的成分，答案与A、B无关。选项C“要求学生花更多时间”不是academic courses对学生的要求，而是文中调查组的看法。
