You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. Many of us have seen and heard the often recycled topics found on such shows as Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey. 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 societys moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other peoples 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 individuals quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work weekly, 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.Clear as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main target audience is middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with lifes tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the shows 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.31.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _.A) more family-oriented B) unusually popular C) more profound D) relatively formal 正确答案： B32.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _.A) remain fascinated by them B) are ready to face up to them C) remain indifferent to them D) are willing to get involved in them 正确答案： A33.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot. B) Racist hatred. C) Family budget planning. D) Street violence. 正确答案： C34.Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both _.A) ironical B) sensitive C) instructive D) cynical 正确答案： C35.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows _.A) have monopolized the talk show circuit B) exploit the weaknesses in human nature C) appear at different times of the day D) are targeted at different audiences 正确答案： DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.There was a time when big-league university presidents really mattered. The New York Times covered their every move. Presidents, the real ones, sought their counsel. For Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower, being head of Princeton and Columbia, respectively, was a stepping-stone to the White House. Today, though, the job of college president is less and less removed from that of the Avon lady (except the house calls are made to the doorsteps of wealthy alums).Ruth Simmons, the newly installed president of Brown University and the first African American to lead an Ivy League school, is a throwback to the crusading campus leaders of old. She doesnt merely marshal funds; she invests them in the great educational causes of our day. With the more than $300 million she raised as president of Smith College from 1995 to 2001, Simmons also established an engineering program (the first at any womens school). At a meeting to discuss the future of Smiths math department, one professor timidly requested two more discussion sections for his course. Her response: Dream bigger.Her own dream was born in a sharecroppers shack in East Texas where there was no money for books or toys she and her 11 siblings each got an apple, an orange and 10 nuts for Christmas. When Simmons won a scholarship to Dillard University, her high school teachers took up a collection so shed have a coat. She went on to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. in Romance languages.Simmons has made diversity her No. 1 campus crusade. She nearly doubled the enrollment of black freshmen at Smith, largely by traveling to high schools in the nations poorest ZIP codes to recruit. Concerned with the lives of minority students once they arrive at school, she has fought to ease the racial standoffs that plague so many campuses. In 1993, while vice provost at Princeton, she wrote a now famous report recommending that the university establish an office of conflict resolution to defuse racial misunderstandings before they boiled over.Her first task at Brown will be to heal one such rupture last spring after the student paper published an incendiary ad by conservative polemicist David Horowitz arguing that blacks economically benefited from slavery. Theres no safe ground for anybody in race relations, but campuses, unlike any other institution in our society, provide the opportunity to cross racial lines, says Simmons. And even if youre hurt, you cant walk away. You have to walk over that line.36.What does the author intend to illustrate with the example of Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower?A) The president of the first-class university was really very important. B) The presidents gave them some good advice. C) The presidents of the university could easily go to the White House.

B) The jobs of college presidents and the Avon lady were quite similar. C) College presidents get inspiration from the job of the Avon lady. D) The jobs of college presidents and the Avon lady should be separated. 正确答案： B38.What can we infer from the 2nd paragraph?A) Simmons was an old crusading campus leader.
