二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A “talk show” is a show organized mainly around talk. Television talk shows have been around since the dawn of radio. Thus, the start of talk shows' golden age can be considered as 1948, even though television wasn't common in American homes until the 1950s. From 1949 to 1973, nearly half of

all daytime programming was talk.

Why are there so many talk shows? A talk show can

cost less than $100,000 per episode (一集) to produce

whereas many of today's TV series cost more than $1

million an episode. Thus, if successful, it can produce handsome profits. Still, it takes a lot of work. Since 1948, hundreds of talk shows have come and gone, with only a few having true staying power.

There are several types of talk shows, but while the styles might vary, the format (形式) is limited.

What we're most used to is the informal guest-host format, in which shows' hosts welcome famous people or other talk-worthy persons for an informal discussi on.

The second most common format is the public issues show, in which hosts interview people in the news or experts in a given field. Shows that follow this format include

both morning news programs and “issue” talk shows.

The Museum of Broadcast Communications' Bernard M. Timberg notes two governing principles of all successful talk shows：

·The host is everything: The host has a high degree of control over their show, from subject matter to comedic atmosphere. They are also the show's brand and are responsible for it. The host can attract and refuse guests, organize their program and, in many cases, name a successor (继任者) when they retire.

·Right here, right now: The second rule is that a talk show must be experienced in the present tense, whether it is broadcast live or taped in front of an audience earlier in the day. They should feel fresh, as if they are happening in the moment, even if the show is a 10-year-old rerun.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章简单介绍了脱口秀。

1．What's Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．How talk shows appeared.

B．Why talk shows appeared.

C．When talk shows appeared.

D．Where talk shows appeared.

解析：选C 段落大意题。根据第一段中的“Television talk shows have been around since the dawn of radio.”及随后出现的时间可知，本段主要介绍了脱口秀兴起的时间。

2．What's an advantage of talk shows?

A．They are easy to make.

B．They are cheap to produce.

C．They come in varied formats.

D．They remain successful for a long time.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A talk show ... an episode.”可知，脱口秀有制作费用低廉的优势。

3．The two formats of talk shows differ in ________.

A．the atmosphere they create

B．the time they are broadcast

C．whether they are sent out live

D．whether they invite famous guests

解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“an informal discussion”及第五段中的“public issues show, interview people in the news or experts in a given field”可知，第一种形式的脱口秀节目气氛比较轻松愉快；而第二种形式的脱口秀节目其气氛往往

比较严肃。故选A。

4．What's the key to talk shows' success according to the second principle?

A．Dealing with the most popular issues.

B．Giving the audience an up-to-date feeling.

C．Inviting the audience to the place where the shows are made.

D．Running the shows several times to refresh the audience's memory.

解析：选 B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Right here, right now ... be experienced in the present tense ... feel fresh, as if they are happening in the moment”可以看出，成功的脱口秀节目无论什么时候播放都要给观众一种“实时播放”的感受。

Ⅱ.语法填空

I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn't speak any English. And I vividly remember __1__ (try) to only speak Italian in __2__ party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.

I don't know if you know this, __3__ telling jokes in __4__ language is one of the most painful experiences you can imagine.

I began the joke. “C'era una volta (Once upon a time) ...”

Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian words. And 30 Italians were staring at me, __5__ (wait) for the joke to come to an end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a __6__ (thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.

__7__ today, that memory continues to be one of the __8__ (happy) moments I've ever experienced. And it's the reason __9__， over the last four years, I __10__ (study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

语篇解读：作者曾经在为意大利朋友举办的聚会上，用意大利语讲了一个笑话，引来满场掌声。

1．trying remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”。这里表示作者回忆往事。

2．the 这里的party特指作者为意大利朋友举办的聚会，故用定冠词the。

3．but but 在这里用于改变话题，此处表示“我不知道你是否了解，但用另外一种语言讲笑语是你能想象出的最痛苦的经历之一”。
