Acts compete against each other in order to gain the audience support while trying to win the first prize.Throughout the show, contestants must perform in front of the judges,

10、 and each year initial auditions have been held in front of a live audience.

12、tructure as well.BackgroundTV talent shows are prevalent among the audience nowadays. These shows always follow the same format. There is usually a judging panel, consisting of Simon Cowell and other celebrities, who are searching for talented people.Opinions on talent shows Many of the contestants

13、who enter talent shows have no real talent. I view them as the “bad.” Admittedly, most of the “bad” are willing to make a joke of themselves and only want “ 15 minutes of fame.”However, some of them have been led to believe that they are truly talented. In reality, they are just another evil aspect

14、of a(n) money-grabbing plan.Of course, talent shows never fail to produce incredibly talented people, whom I consider the “good.” A(n) humble woman by the name of Susan Boyle shocked everyone by her beautiful voice. From her TV talent shows learned that one should never judge a book by its cover.Con

15、clusion Talent shows can provide a great platform for talented people. Thanks to the shows, I have the opportunity to witness ordinary yet talented people.Part 4.

16、 name just a few. 1) X 音素好声音美国偶像英国达人秀美国达人秀都是收视率非常高的欧美选秀节目，国内引进版有中国最强音中国好声音中国达人秀等。 2) to name just a few: 举几个例子该词组暗含“还有很多例子，但不一一列举”的意思，常作插入语。e.g. My interests are painting, photography, music and reading, to name just a few. 【同义词组】for example for instance such as2. However, more often than not the au

17、dience is shown a series of “bad” auditions to add shock and entertainment value, which ultimately serves to raise the ratings and make greater profit for the production company. 1) 选秀节目有意将“不好的海选”（“bad” auditions）纳入其中，以增加冲击性和娱乐性，提高收视率。此处作者用较为中肯的语气道出实情，为下文批判选秀节目作铺垫。 2) more often than not: 往往，通常 e.g.

18、 More often than not, these people suffer a lot because they do not practice efficient time management. 英语中表示频率的词还有always、usually、frequently、often、sometimes、seldom、rarely、never 等。3. The audience gets a laugh and the TV network makes money, all at the expense of some innocent fools. 1) at the expense

19、 of 是指“以为代价”，其同义词组为at the cost of。 2) innocent（天真的，幼稚的）一词反映出作者对fools 的同情。4. All of these performers are a two-minute source of entertainment for the public. They are pointed at, laughed at and usually booed off the stage. 此处作者犀利地指出观众看热闹的心理。对观众而言，所有选手都只是在进行娱乐表演，都是取乐的对象。从这里可以看出作者对观众持批判的态度。5. Now I hav

20、e to admit, most of these “fools” enter shows like these willingly, purely for the laugh, to make a joke of themselves, and to get their“ 15 minutes of fame.” 本句中15 minutes of fame（15 分钟名气）是指某人或某现象“转瞬即逝的名气”，该说法最早出自美国著名艺术家安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）之口， 他在1968 年的一次展览上说：In the future, everyone will be wor

21、ld-famous for 15 minutes. 这种情况经常在娱乐圈或真人秀明星身上出现。6. They are assured of their talent and promised fame, but in reality, they are just another evil aspect of a much larger, money-grabbing scheme. 本句可以理解为： They are misled into a belief that they have talent and will surely become famous. But the truth i

22、s that they have been fooled. They are just an evil part of a plan that aims at making money.7. a slap in the face: 一记耳光，羞辱e.g. It was a real slap in the face for him when she refused to go out for dinner with him.8. messy-haired: a. 头发乱糟糟的该复合词的构词法为：先用连字符将一个形容词和一个名词连接起来，然后在名词后面加ed。再如：warm-hearted 热心

23、的；strong-willed 意志坚强的； good-natured 善良的；kind-hearted 仁慈的； heart-shaped 心形的；light-headed 头晕的； bare-footed 赤脚的；short-sighted 近视的； long-haired 留长发的；high-spirited 生气勃勃的； absent-minded 心不在焉的。9. . and then see poor Susan sent on her way. 此处的sent on her way 是指“被送下台，败走”，即sent on her way home。10. stunningly:

Whether we are aware of the exploitative nature of these shows

26、or not, most of us still watch them. 注意whether or not 在表示“是否”的时候，可以省略or not，在表示“不管是否”的时候，必须要有or not。e.g. Tom didnt know whether he should wear the green suit. Tom wanted to wear the green suit, whether it had a gravy stain or not.14. So what exactly is the appeal? Is it the shock value? Is it the aw

27、kward acts? Or is it the genuine talent thats presented? Or perhaps its a mix of all three.1) appeal: n. 吸引力e.g. The prospect of living in a city holds little appeal for me. 【拓展】appealing: a. 有吸引力的，动人的e.g. The idea of not having to get up early every morning is rather appealing to me.2) a mix of sth

28、.: 混合e.g. It was my final day at school, so I felt a mix of sadness and excitement as I arrived for class.3) 画线部分可以理解为：Or perhaps the appeal of talent shows is the combination of the shock value, the awkward acts and the genuine talent.15.
