五、阅读理解（20 分）
A
Can talent shows save music
Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered
China’s first commercialized TV music talent show. In the last 10 years, music talent shows have become one of
the most celebrated forms of TV entertainment in China.
Talent shows like The Voice of China, The X Factor, Chinese Idol, and Super Boy are bombarding TV
audiences.
Apart from providing entertainment, these shows also reflect the country’s cultural and societal
transformation as it strides toward modernity. But despite their commercial success, experts are skeptical as to the
potential of TV music talent shows to boost the country’s struggling music industry.
Transformed culture
Zheng Xin, a professor at the School of Journalism & Communication at Nanjing University, says a
grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China. While individuality and personal opinions
are now tolerated and celebrated, audiences still yearn for a collective recognition of their own identity.
“The popularity of music talent shows is inevitable in an era in which audiences seek out ‘idols’ with a
similar social background to their own,” says Zheng.
Luo Gang, a professor in Chinese literature at East China Normal University, agrees.
“When participants who belong to the same class as them take the spotlight and succeed, it resonates with
mass audiences.”
Luo adds that the new generation is changing its attitude toward showing off talents, which is also fueling the
phenomenon. Chinese tend to be shy and are reluctant to demonstrate their talents due to a traditional value of
humbleness. But recent decades have witnessed an increasing willingness among young Chinese to show off their
talents, highlight their individuality and be unique.
Wu Mochou, for example, from 2012’s The Voice of China expressed strong willingness to show off her
talent on stage.
“We are entering an era in which the demonstration of talents can be consumed like a product,” says Luo.
Troubled industry
According to the Chongqing Economic Times, more than 22 music talent shows are scheduled on various TV
stations across the country this summer. Beijing Youth Daily reported recently that The Voice of China, broadcast
by Zhejiang Satellite TV, has generated more than 100 million yuan in net profits since the show completed airing
last year, mostly through concerts and commercials.
But Shen Lihui, president of Modern Sky, a record company, doesn’t think the booming business of music
talent shows is a cure for the music industry, which has long been haunted by a lack of innovation and unequal
profit distribution.
“Music is nothing more than a platform, or a tool, for entertainment,” says Shen. “These shows are not
helping to fundamentally tackle the problems in China’s music industry.”
Wang Lei, a veteran music producer and critic, warns of the risks entailed in TV music talent shows.
“No matter what form they take, talent shows are just shows at the end of the day,” Wang told Beijing Daily
recently. “The monopoly of TV stations in signing and marketing artists is suffocating the industry.”
Song Ke, a renowned music producer, acknowledges these problems but also believes that music talent
shows are pushing the industry in a new direction. While record companies do not have the financial resources to
promote new artists, TV music talent shows have become an alternative for discovering new talents.
41．________is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show.
A．The Voice of China B．The X Factor
C．Chinese Idol D．2003 Super Boy
42．According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China.
A．grassroots-oriented culture B．elite-based culture
C．traditional culture D．music industry
43．Why are music talent shows popular
A．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are talented.
B．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are as rich as the public.
C．Because ‘idols’ in the shows resonate with the public.
D．Because ‘idols’ in the shows are reluctant to demonstrate their talents.
44．The underlined word “reluctant” means________.
A．乐意的 B．不情愿的 C．开心的 D．传统的
45．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The author’s opinion on music talent shows.
B．Some opinions on films.
C．Some opinions on music talent shows.
D．The advantages of music talent shows.

Family show ends as a hit
FRIENDSHIP and family have always been things that can strike a chord with anyone. If US sitcom Friends
has proved the former, then Two and a Half Men may well have proved the latter.
The show began airing in 2003. After 12 seasons and more than 260 episodes, the long-running sitcom
finally wrapped up last month. According to The Guardian, it was one of the most-watched TV comedies in the
US with about 15 million regular viewers.
It tells the story of Charlie Harper, a rich ad man with a luxurious beach house; Alan Harper, his recently
divorced brother; and Jake, Alan’s 10-year-old son. “It was a long ride ... In the end, it was good for pretty much
everyone,” commented the New York Daily News. “It is a magical show about men, divorce, single parenthood,
love and friendship.”
The series followed the daily life of Harper brothers—Charlie and Alan. They were almost opposites but
formed a great team. They had little in common except for being scared of their domineering mother, Evelyn.
When the show kicked off, viewers saw that Alan, an uptight control-freak, had just been thrown out from
his home by his wife Judith. Charlie had to give “temporary” shelter to Alan and his son Jake. The sitcom then
revolved around the brothers’ conflicting lifestyles, bantering with their mother and various other friends and
family, and most important of all, raising Jake. The school kid had an efficient, caring dad and had good times
with his fun-loving sugar uncle who taught him boyish things. Charlie gradually grew fond of Jake. Their
nephew-uncle relationship was summed up when Jake said, “I wish my dad was as cool as you,” but Charlie
replied, “Don’t sell your dad short. He loves you more than anything in the world.”
“The show works because it is all built on family,” Ashton Kutcher told US radio station NPR. He plays
Walden Schmidt, a young Internet billionaire, in Two and a Half Men. “It is all built on these obscure, broken,
beat up, messed up families that are just like yours. You can really relate to it, and it’s fun to laugh at. You laugh
at it because ultimately you’re sitting at home laughing at yourself.”
46．Two and a Half Men began airing in________.
A．this year B．last month C．2003 D．2015
47．________ had a luxurious beach house.
A．Alan Harper B．Charlie Harper C．Jake D．Evelyn
48．Charlie and Alan are both scared of their________.
A．father B．mother C．sons D．friends
49．Jake thought his uncle was________.
A．cool B．bad C．domineering D．handsome
50．Why is Two and a Half Men popular
A．Because it tells stories about friends.
B．Because it has funny stories.
C．Because it is all built on family life just like everyone’s.
D．Because it is a magical show.

Can talent shows save music
Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered
China’s first commercialized TV music talent show. In the last 10 years, music talent shows have become one of
the most celebrated forms of TV entertainment in China.
Talent shows like The Voice of China, The X Factor, Chinese Idol, and Super Boy are bombarding TV
audiences.
Apart from providing entertainment, these shows also reflect the country’s cultural and societal
transformation as it strides toward modernity. But despite their commercial success, experts are skeptical as to the
potential of TV music talent shows to boost the country’s struggling music industry.
Transformed culture
Zheng Xin, a professor at the School of Journalism & Communication at Nanjing University, says a
grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China. While individuality and personal opinions
are now tolerated and celebrated, audiences still yearn for a collective recognition of their own identity.
“The popularity of music talent shows is inevitable in an era in which audiences seek out ‘idols’ with a
similar social background to their own,” says Zheng.
Luo Gang, a professor in Chinese literature at East China Normal University, agrees.
“When participants who belong to the same class as them take the spotlight and succeed, it resonates with
mass audiences.”
Luo adds that the new generation is changing its attitude toward showing off talents, which is also fueling the
phenomenon. Chinese tend to be shy and are reluctant to demonstrate their talents due to a traditional value of
humbleness. But recent decades have witnessed an increasing willingness among young Chinese to show off their
talents, highlight their individuality and be unique.
Wu Mochou, for example, from 2012’s The Voice of China expressed strong willingness to show off her
talent on stage.
“We are entering an era in which the demonstration of talents can be consumed like a product,” says Luo.
Troubled industry
According to the Chongqing Economic Times, more than 22 music talent shows are scheduled on various TV
stations across the country this summer. Beijing Youth Daily reported recently that The Voice of China, broadcast
by Zhejiang Satellite TV, has generated more than 100 million yuan in net profits since the show completed airing
last year, mostly through concerts and commercials.
But Shen Lihui, president of Modern Sky, a record company, doesn’t think the booming business of music
talent shows is a cure for the music industry, which has long been haunted by a lack of innovation and unequal
profit distribution.
“Music is nothing more than a platform, or a tool, for entertainment,” says Shen. “These shows are not
helping to fundamentally tackle the problems in China’s music industry.”
Wang Lei, a veteran music producer and critic, warns of the risks entailed in TV music talent shows.
“No matter what form they take, talent shows are just shows at the end of the day,” Wang told Beijing Daily
recently. “The monopoly of TV stations in signing and marketing artists is suffocating the industry.”
Song Ke, a renowned music producer, acknowledges these problems but also believes that music talent
shows are pushing the industry in a new direction. While record companies do not have the financial resources to
promote new artists, TV music talent shows have become an alternative for discovering new talents.

Family show ends as a hit
FRIENDSHIP and family have always been things that can strike a chord with anyone. If US sitcom Friends
has proved the former, then Two and a Half Men may well have proved the latter.
The show began airing in 2003. After 12 seasons and more than 260 episodes, the long-running sitcom
finally wrapped up last month. According to The Guardian, it was one of the most-watched TV comedies in the
US with about 15 million regular viewers.
It tells the story of Charlie Harper, a rich ad man with a luxurious beach house; Alan Harper, his recently
divorced brother; and Jake, Alan’s 10-year-old son. “It was a long ride ... In the end, it was good for pretty much
everyone,” commented the New York Daily News. “It is a magical show about men, divorce, single parenthood,
love and friendship.”
The series followed the daily life of Harper brothers—Charlie and Alan. They were almost opposites but
formed a great team. They had little in common except for being scared of their domineering mother, Evelyn.
When the show kicked off, viewers saw that Alan, an uptight control-freak, had just been thrown out from
his home by his wife Judith. Charlie had to give “temporary” shelter to Alan and his son Jake. The sitcom then
revolved around the brothers’ conflicting lifestyles, bantering with their mother and various other friends and
family, and most important of all, raising Jake. The school kid had an efficient, caring dad and had good times
with his fun-loving sugar uncle who taught him boyish things. Charlie gradually grew fond of Jake. Their
nephew-uncle relationship was summed up when Jake said, “I wish my dad was as cool as you,” but Charlie
replied, “Don’t sell your dad short. He loves you more than anything in the world.”
“The show works because it is all built on family,” Ashton Kutcher told US radio station NPR. He plays
Walden Schmidt, a young Internet billionaire, in Two and a Half Men. “It is all built on these obscure, broken,
beat up, messed up families that are just like yours. You can really relate to it, and it’s fun to laugh at. You laugh
at it because ultimately you’re sitting at home laughing at yourself.”
46．Two and a Half Men began airing in________.
A．this year B．last month C．2003 D．2015
47．________ had a luxurious beach house.
A．Alan Harper B．Charlie Harper C．Jake D．Evelyn
48．Charlie and Alan are both scared of their________.
A．father B．mother C．sons D．friends
49．Jake thought his uncle was________.
A．cool B．bad C．domineering D．handsome
50．Why is Two and a Half Men popular
A．Because it tells stories about friends.
B．Because it has funny stories.
C．Because it is all built on family life just like everyone’s.
D．Because it is a magical show.

49．推理判断题。根据“Their nephew-uncle relationship was summed up when Jake said, ‘I wish my dad was as
cool as you,’ ...”可推断，Jake 认为他的叔叔很酷。故选 A。
50．细节理解题。根据“‘The show works because it is all built on family,’ ... It is all built on these obscure,
