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    Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun.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 What can we learn from the passage?
A College students like soap operas more than any other social groups
B Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today
C Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now
D The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain

答案C

解析这是一道推断题,本题询问的是从文章中我们可以了解到什么信息。这里需要我们对四个选项逐一排查,首先选项A的信息定位在第二段,第二段第一句话即本文的中心大意,已经告诉我们肥皂剧不仅仅是大学生喜爱的节目。选项B的信息定位在第二段里,“During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas.”(在六十年代,年轻人很少观看肥皂剧)。因此我们判断选项B是错误的。选项D的信息定位在第三段里,“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.”这里告诉读者也许年轻人会在肥皂剧里找到自己的影子,也许就像大学生观众一样,寻找真爱却以失败告终,但这里作者并不是说明所有年轻人的爱情之旅都是失败而告终的,所以选项D是错误的。选项C在对六十年代观众和当今观众进行分析对比后得出,年轻的观众将自己从六十年代严肃的主题转向娱乐的话题。因此我们确定选择答案C。
