When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they "may find some of these scenes disturbing", so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes — the TV cameramen — have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them no matter how gruesome and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
Today, the demand for their work is rising, the explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and TV news agencies — such as Reuters and WTN — have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to "freelance" TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured, in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
" TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books," explains Nick Gowing, once foreign editor for Britain’s Channel 4 news and now a BBC presenter.
"By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk," he says.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.
选项
A、it is the duty of TV cameramen to record horrifying scenes
B、TV cameramen’s job is extremely dangerous and emotionally taxing
C、TV programs are reducing the use of horrible pictures of death and wound
D、it is a requirement by work for TV cameramen to disregard people’s wound
答案
B
解析
推理题。文中第一段先说电视节目编辑一般不采用最令人毛骨悚然的画面报道新闻。并且还常警告观众,他们可能看到一些令人不愉快的画面。然后提出电视台的摄像师们则没有选择。无论场景有多么可怕和吓人,他们都必须面对。这是他们的职责,这说明电视台摄像师的工作非常危险。对他们的情绪也有很大的打击。四个选项中能正确概括本段段意的为B选项。
