问题 It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

选项 2、What can be the best title of the passage?
A. College student viewers
B. Favorite TV serials
C. Soap opera fans
D. College-age viewers

答案C

解析这是一道主旨题,本题询问这篇短文最佳的标题。我们知道,标题是对整篇文章中心大意的高度概括,所以我们需要了解这篇文章告诉我们什么。这篇文章的中心大意落脚在文章第二段的第一句话,“Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite.”(事实上,肥皂剧与其说是大学生的喜爱,更准确的说是年轻人的喜爱)。文章第一段举例说明肥皂剧在大学生生活的地位,随后第二段紧接这说明肥皂剧也深受中学生的推崇,最后一段分析了为什么肥皂剧会得到青年人喜爱的原因。此外,我们通过对答案的分析也可进行判断,选项A和D表达意思相同,所以答案不可能在这两者之间,其次选项B(最受欢迎的电视连续剧),文中虽然提到青年人喜欢观看肥皂剧,但并没有告诉读者是剧目的名称。综合分析后,确定正确答案是C。
