30、al actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or “heightened“ documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000. Reality television covers a wide range of television programmi
31、ng formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s(a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance(监视，监督 )or voyeurism(窥视 )focused productions such as “Big Brother“. Critics say that the term “reality television“ i
32、s somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing a
33、nd other post-production techniques. Part of reality televisions appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, “The Bachelor“, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, traveling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. R
34、eality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as “Pop Idol“, though frequently “Survivor“ and “Big Brother“ participants also reach some degree of celebrity. Some commentators have said that the name “re
35、ality television“ is an inaccurate description for several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as “Big Brother“ and “Survivor“, and other special-living-environment shows like “The Real World“, the producers design the format of the show and control the day-to
36、-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviors and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creato
37、r of “Survivor“ and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word “reality“ to describe his shows; he has said, “I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama.“ Directions: Decide whether the following statements are True or False. 61 Rea
38、lity television has been popular approximately 2000. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 62 Japan is the only place to produce indecent TV shows. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 63 People have criticized reality television because it shows reality. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 64 Reality TV appeals to some because it can turn ordina
39、ry people into celebrities. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 65 Producers choose the participants on the ground of talent. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE Section B 65 Generally speaking, College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paying job. But for 6000 graduate
40、s at San Jose State this year, theres uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly-minted degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. “You look at everybodys parents and neighbors, and theyre getting laid off and dont have jobs,“ said Stewart.
41、“Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce .its just scary.“ When those graduates entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years theyve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. “Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunitie
42、s, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,“ said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. “Times have changed. Its a new market. The job situation is grim now.“ Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a
43、crossroad between college and the real world. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. “The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. Theyve postured themselves well during the summer. Theyve had several internships(
44、实习 ),“ she said. And theyve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields like information systems management, computer science, and political science
45、have seen big declines in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart who had hoped to become a teacher may just end up going back to school. “Id like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,“ he said. It is true that more students are able to receive co
46、llege education. It is also true that they will have to face fiercer competition in the job market as they graduate. It becomes harder for the current graduates to get a foothold in job market, but many of them have no choice but to follow the beaten track. To some students, a degree may not be a ti
47、cket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time. 66 According to the author, whats the actual state of job market? 67 What is the role of San Jose State Career Center? 68 According to Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge, what does she mean when she says students have “done t
48、heir homework“? 69 What kind of fields can survive among these fierce competitions in job market? 70 According to Ryan Stewart, what is the best job in a bad economic environment? Section C 70 An eagle wheels overhead against a crystalline blue sky, Martin Flanagan walks toward a grove of towering c
49、ottonwood trees beside the Yellowstone River, which is the color of chocolate milk due to the spring rain. As Mr. Flanagan leaves the glaring sun of the prairie and enters the shady grove, his eyes search for a specific tree. As he reaches a narrow-leaf cottonwood, a towering giant, he cranes his neck to look at the top. “This is the one I plan
