Early shows, like Opportunity Knocks(1964-1978), need people to vote (投票) for their favorite acts and performers, although in those days voting was done by postcard instead of by telephone, text, or over the Internet.

Here are the UK’s top three TV talent shows: The X Factor—In this wonderful singing competition, performers have to face a celebrity judge panel (名人裁判组) before the public vote. Many excellent singers became popular because of it. The show is now made all over the world, from China to Colombia. Strictly Come Dancing—The program is so fantastic that it attracts (吸引) many celebrities. They team up with professional (专业的) dancers and come to the dance floor to win the title of Strietly Come Dancing Champion.

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. 15．________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 16．According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China. A．grassroots-oriented culture B．elite-based culture C．traditional culture D．music industry 17．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. 18．The underlined word “reluctant” means________. A．乐意的 B．不情愿的 C．开心的 D．传统的 19．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. 【答案】15．D 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．C 【导语】本篇是一篇议论文。文章在谈论关于才艺表演是否能拯救中国的音乐产业的问题，通过最近比较火热的音乐选秀节目可以看到中国的草根才艺表演虽然不能从根本上解决相关产业问题，但确实正在推动音乐产业走向一个新的方向。 15．细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，2003 Super Boy被认为是中国第一个商业化的电视音乐选秀节目。故选D。 16．细节理解题。根据“Zheng Xin ... says a grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China.”可知，郑欣表示，中国正在出现一种以草根为导向的文化。故选A。 17．推理判断题。根据第五段至第七段的描述可知，音乐选秀节目之所以流行，是因为节目中的偶像的背景能够与大众产生共鸣。故选C。 18．词义猜测题。根据第八段第二、三句中的“But”可知，前后句意相反，后句意为“近年来中国年轻人越来越愿意展示自己的才华”，可推断前句大意为“中国传统价值观中，中国人往往比较害羞，不愿意展示自己的才能”， 即推测reluctant意为“不情愿的”。故选B。 19．主旨大意题。本文通过具体的中国选秀节目个例引出对如今音乐类选秀节目的探讨，引用了数名业界知名人士及评论者的观点和态度，对音乐选秀节目的未来趋势以及影响做出了评判。故选C。 请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 American children love to watch TV a lot and they usually watch it for long hours every day. 20 Most of them enjoy watching cartoons. 21 Children can also learn a lot from them.

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. 15．________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 16．According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China. A．grassroots-oriented culture B．elite-based culture C．traditional culture D．music industry 17．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. 18．The underlined word “reluctant” means________. A．乐意的 B．不情愿的 C．开心的 D．传统的 19．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. 请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 American children love to watch TV a lot and they usually watch it for long hours every day. 20 Most of them enjoy watching cartoons. 21 Children can also learn a lot from them.
