Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas,you could soon be able to decide what you get. Netflix,the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards,is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions.
Some of the storylines will be simple and linear,like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with.For example,viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang (黑幫) or not.
The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown,instead of having her relationship with the divorcee (離婚者) blocked by the Establishment.Other storylines will be much more complex,allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.
A source said,"We're doing work on branch narratives (敘事) so you are actually making choices as you watch. All the content will be there,and then people will have to get through it in different ways.We'll see how it plays out. It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.For creators,it's a new field."
Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments (片段) in advance,letting viewers choose which route to take through the story.Netflix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year, based on an established character.If they are successful,it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at adults. Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows,saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."
At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix,and it is challenging traditional broadcasters.Earlier this year,BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right,rather than a catch-up service.

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了一種新的電視技術(shù)，觀眾由此能夠決定關(guān)鍵情節(jié)，可以決定自己想獲得什么。
（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“...allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.”可知，觀眾可以使用他們的電視遙控器以各種方式連接情節(jié)點。故選A。
（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“choose-your-own-adventure”可以定位到第二段，但此段沒有出現(xiàn)原因，第三、四段都在講這個技術(shù)，直到“...It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.”，可知它是一個實驗，我們會看到它是否取得了很大的成功。故選D。
（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows, saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."”可知， Netflix總裁里德·黑斯廷斯（Reed Hastings）證實，該公司正在開展互動節(jié)目，并說：一旦你有了互動，你可以嘗試任何事情。表明他對公司的互動節(jié)目十分有信心。A.有信心的；B.懷疑的；C.消極的D.擔憂的。故選A。
