Task 1 Read this article about Reality TV. After the article you will find a number of unfinished statements about the passages, each with four suggested answers or ways of finishing. Choose the one which you think fits best. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Reality Television Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional 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 programming 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- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother. Critics say that the term "reality television" is 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 and other post-production techniques. Part of reality television's 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, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality 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 "reality 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-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 behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator 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."
Task 2 Read this extract from a novel. Answer the questions below. Write your answers on your answer sheet. As we neared Black Oak, we passed the Clench farm, home of Foy and Levels Clench and their eight children, all of whom, I was certain, were still in the fields. No one worked harder than the Clenches. Even the children seemed to enjoy picking cotton and doing the most routine chores around the farm. The hedges around the front yard were perfectly manicured into shape. The fences were straight and needed no repair. The garden was huge and its legendary yield fed the family all year. And their house was painted. Our house had been built before the First War, back when indoor bathrooms and electricity were unheard of. Its exterior was built from clapboards made of oak, probably cut from trees on the land which we now farmed. With time and weather the boards had faded to a pale brown color, pretty much the same color as the other farmhouses around Black Oak. According to my father and grandparents, paint was unnecessary. The boards were kept clean and in good repair, and besides, paint cost money. My mother vowed to herself that she would not raise her children on a farm. She would one day heave a house in a town or in a city, a house with indoor plumbing and flowers around the porch, and with paint on the boards, maybe even bricks. ‘Paint’ was a sensitive word around our farm. 11.
