How Did She Conquer the Americans?

African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity,according to Forbes magazine. 46

Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches.

The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings. 47

"After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves. It created new celebrities and hundreds of millions of dollars in profits," the magazine said.

Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show". She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style.

Last month, American actor Tom Cruise, 42, surprised fans when he celebrated his new romance with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes. Fie jumped up and down, shouting "I'm in love."

Only a few years ago, Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared separately on the same show telling the news of their divorce." 48

Winfrey's approach appears to be simple. She is in pursuit of self-improvement and

self-empowerment ( 自强) . This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want.

Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight.

Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954. 49 At the woman to age of 19,she became the youngest person and the f'trst African-American anchor (主持) a news programme.

Her success has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a women's TV network and websites for women. Winfrey's work has extended to social change. 50 She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database of dangerous child abusers. President Bill Clinton later signed "Oprah Bill" into law.

A. But it also looks at the celebrity's presence on the Internet and in the media.

B. In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child Protection Act.

C. She was not a very successful woman.

D. She began broadcasting while still at high school.

E. It placed Winfrey at the top of its annual ranking of the 100 people last week.

F. The couple had been tight-lipped about their break-up.

答案：

46.D。从原文来看，本段介绍贝多芬早年平生。前一句话说他的父亲对他要求十分严厉，且酗酒成性。D说当他母亲亡故后，还是一个年轻人的贝多芬成为他两个小弟弟的监护人。把D放在这里意思连贯，是最适合的选项。

47.B。从原文来看，本段介绍贝多芬成年后坎坷的遭遇，选8最合适。

48.A。句中的this handicap承接上段，指上段最后一句话提到的耳聋这一残疾。全句的意思是说，贝多芬身残志坚，继续音乐创作。原文最后一句列举了贝多芬的音乐成就，此处选A与上下文衔接自然，意思连贯。

49.C。到此为止，作者介绍完了贝多芬的生平，需要做一个简要的概括。C说：他的一生是热切追求独立的一生，放在此处正合适，故选C。

50.E。本段第一句提到歌德对贝多芬性情的评价，说他狂躁易怒，性情不羁。E说尽管贝多芬的性情狂躁不羁，但他的音乐却很有章法，控制有度，这也是他最值得我们怀念的地方。
