文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了体育节目在电视广告销售收入中所占比例逐渐增大的现象。体育赛事可以帮助媒体公司在周末下午吸引观众,拉来商业赞助商。文章还指出,尽管高尔夫球和网球的收视率较低,但它们吸引的观众群体具有较高的收入水平,因此这些节目会得到高价赞助。

1 . Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.

An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.

Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.

Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer, with such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.

1. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?
A.Because there would be few viewers.
B.Because the advertisers would be off work.
C.Because television programs would go slowly.
D.Because viewers would pay less for watching television.
2. In many families, men make decision on          .
A.holidayB.sports viewingC.television shoppingD.expensive purchases
3. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because          .
A.their advertisers are carmakers
B.their viewers are attracted by sports
C.their advertisers target at rich people
D.their viewers can afford expensive cars
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A.Television viewers are determined by male viewers.
B.Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.
C.Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.
D.Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport event.

文章大意:这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一部名叫“All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt”的电影。

9 .

Critic’s Pick. The movie is extremely emotional(like a Toni Morrison novel or a Mary Oliver poem).

LISA KENNEDY, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Raven Jaskson *2023 *U.S. *97 minutes

2023 Gotham Award Nominee for Breakthrough Figure(Raven Jackson)

One of the most visually striking, profoundly moving American moviemaking debuts(首次亮相) in years, Raven Jackson’s All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is an eye-catching immersion into a young woman’s inner world, filmed and edited with an extraordinary attention to the tiniest detail. This impressionistic journey skips ahead and back through decades to tell the story of Mack, whose upbringing in rural Mississippi is touched by grace, dotted with heartbreak, and always carried high in the sky by the surrounding natural beauty. As she ages, she loses loved ones and gains others, while making decisions that change the course of her life, and that of her beloved sister. Relying on sounds and images to tell her story, and employing minimal dialogue, Jackson has created something breathtakingly quiet and ultimately transporting a spiritual respect to the moments, feelings, and connections that make a life. An A24 release.

10 . Fun facts about Antarctica

At the southernmost point of the world, you find Antarctica a giant mass of ice that’s its own continent. You, may not know much about the continent, so why not read on?

There’ s a lake that runs blood red in Antarctica.

As though someone has cut into the ice, the properly named Blood Falls come out over the Taylor Glacier. The water is extremely high in iron and salt, and when it comes into contact with the air, it shows the special red color against the pure white surroundings. The water here is three times saltier than ocean water, and therefore, too salty to become ice.

Antarctica has its own treaty (条约).

Because the environment of Antarctica is so delicate and unique, there is a treaty saying that only peaceful research can be done there. In 1959, 12 countries signed this treaty, with the number now sitting at 53. This also makes it certain that Antarctica doesn’t end up being caught in an international conflict, and that the continent is only used for scientific purposes and sensible traveling. The treaty prevents army and nuclear activities, and also mineral mining.

There is a unique phenomenon in Antarctica called diamond dust.

While there are low levels of precipitation (降水) in Antarctica, that doesn’t mean the air is clear of nature’s beauty! The air is so cold there that moisture (水汽) can condense while air-borne. This results in ice falling to the ground. The sun’s light will cause the ice to shine, creating a shining shower called diamond dust. It happens when the skies are clear, known as clear-sky precipitation.

If any of these Antarctic facts have increased your interest in visiting this unique continent, be sure to get in touch with the team al Aurora Expeditions today.

Phone:+61 (0)2 9252 1033

A.The water has been polluted.B.The water comes from a river.
C.The water is rich in iron and salt.D.The water usually freezes in winter.
2. The last fun fact is mainly about________.
