 题目要求：

Some people strongly advise to reduce star reality shows, for the fear that the universal entertainment will exert bad influence on our behavior. What is your idea of star reality shows?

审题思路：

本题是一个观点论证型题目，核心问题是如何看待明星真人秀。有两个基本观点：明星真人秀是成功的商业运作，无论对经济还是观众都是有益的；应该减少明星真人秀，因其会使我们进入全民娱乐时代，不利于提升国民素质。可根据以下思路展开写作：

思路1：不应该减少明星真人秀。

首先，很多节目会促使观众关注之前忽略或不够重视的东西，比如亲子教育、节俭生活、体育精神等。其次，明星的“名人效应”会提高一些偏远地区的曝光率，推动当地旅游业以及经济发展。

思路2：应该减少明星真人秀。

太多的明星真人秀会造成全民娱乐，不利于国民素质的提升。很多节目专注于“秀”，通过曝光明星隐私、故意增加明星之间的冲突等来夺人眼球，节目不仅毫无质量而且对观众易造成负面影响。另外，从成本上来说，明星真人秀成本太大，而有时收效却甚微，不如将这些资源投入到更具教育性、更有意义的节目中。

范文选择思路1。分别以“爸爸去哪儿”和“奔跑吧，兄弟”为例，分析明星真人秀给观众和经济增长带来的益处。最后指出，根据优胜劣汰的规律，不必刻意减少明星真人秀的数量，因为不好的节目自然会被淘汰。

本题讨论是否应该只奖励优等生。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，简要概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点：不应该只奖励优等生，还应奖励学习进步的学生。最后总结全文。

高分范文：

Should Star Reality Shows Be Decreased?

Since stars or celebrities often have great charisma³ to attract and affect ordinary people, those reality shows they attend can arouse our reflection and discussion on some issues we may have ignored before.

Let’s take the example of a well-known star reality show “Dad, Where Are We Going?” Not only does the program trigger our precious memory about care and love from fathers, but different ways of interaction between star fathers and their children bring about a fierce discussion about the family education and let us rethink the way we get along with our families.

In addition, star reality shows, to some extent, have been used recently as an important way to introduce China’s regions and to promote tourism of the place where they have been filmed. When “Chinese Running Man”, a reality TV show that gets popular Chinese stars to complete different tasks outdoors, filmed a segment in Dunhuang, Gansu province, it brought a lot of good publicity⁴ to the area. After the show was broadcast, there were hundreds of news reports on Gansu and thus it attracted thousands of tourists throughout the country.

It is unnecessary to fix our eyes on tiny shortcomings of some star reality shows because, on the one hand, programs demonstrating what the society wants and needs will definitely retain and if not, they will finally vanish from sight; on the other hand, many star reality shows benefit the audience and the economic growth.
