Passage 2

It was a dark and stormy night. Somewhere, Gary Bettman was seething. All these events being cancelled, and not by him.

On TV, anticipation was so animated it was heatedly debated and, in the way that television is ghastly in its predilections, the coverage was both ghoulish and foolish. On CNN, it went like this--in the studio, an anchor lady talking to a weather guy who noted, "it will be onshore in less than three hours," at which point anchor lady declared, "and there he is, All Velshi! " Cut to All Velshi, barely upright and ankle-deep in water in Atlantic City, in a fierce, whipping wind.

"All, at any point in time we will yank this, if you are in any danger at all," anchor lady announced helpfully. Then, "what else do you see, All?" To which he answered, "There's some siding flying off buildings. Unless you're kinda like us and reporting, there's no reason to be out here."

Too true. On channel after channel, reporters standing in howling winds and pouring rain to illustrate that, yeah, the storm was arriving and it was wicked, just as predicted. In case anyone thought it was a con "job.

Then the Hurricane Sandy devastation in New Jersey and New York. Footage of flooded

subways, as if massive waves of water finding an outlet in large holes in the ground was a surprise.

In Toronto's east end, a tree fell. Power went out. CP24 savoured i_t all, at last some real, honest-to-God disaster effects.

The fallback position is disaster-movie cliche and panicked voices in a studio commanding viewers to look (just look!) at this footage of flooding! The term "weather porn" doesn't do it justice.

Few live TV shows were taped in New York on Monday. But David Letterman wen

  • A.TV programs must be rated
  • B.news reports often give rise to moral questions
  • C.endless TV coverage of weather or election can be very repulsive
  • D.such TV coverage of weather or presidential election is pornographic

答案: C
本题解析:

题干问第六段的“weather porn”和第九段的“election porn”暗示什么。在第六段的The term“weather pom”doesn’t do it justice.和第九段的The term“election pom”doesn’t do it justice.中,术语“weather porn”和“election porn”之后,都提到了“doesn’t do it iustice”,即“没有公正地展示其内涵”。由此可知,新闻报道中常常存在不属实的报道现象,而在"election porn”之后也提到的“The heart sank.”即这会令观众产生排斥和失望的情绪.故选C.
