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 "trash talk". The topics on his show are as shocking as ,shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has mole of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21.year-olds whose main troubles ill life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience______.
选项
A、remain fascinated by them

C、remain indifferent to them
D、are willing to get involved in them
答案
A
解析
根据文章第二段最后—句“Clearly,the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes,yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people’s lives.”,可知正确答案是[A],答对本题的关键是弄明白文中“intriguing”一词意为"fascinating”,而“eating up the intriguing predicaments of other people’s lives”意为“对别人生活中遇到的难处津津乐道。”
