Researchers have found not just a diversity problem in Hollywood, but actually an inclusion crisis.
With less than a week before an Oscars ceremony that has already been criticized for an all-white list of acting nominees, a study shows the film industry does worse than television.
Just 3.4 percent of film directors were female, and only 7 percent of films had a cast whose balance of race and ethnicity reflected the country's diversity.
When researchers looked at all TV shows, they also found that women of color over 40 were regarded as "largely invisible" and just 22 percent of TV series creators were female.
Overall, the study found half the films and TV shows had no Asian speaking characters and more than one-fifth of them had no black characters with dialogue.
The film industry still functions as a straight, white, boy's club.
When looking at how women are depicted, the study found female characters were four times more likely to be shown in sexy clothing, and nearly four times as likely to be referred to as physically attractive.
But their results also indicated films and TV shows with women or people of color in the important jobs behind the scenes---director, producer or writer—tended to have better diversity numbers.
Across TV and film, the underrepresentation of non-white characters falls mostly on Hispanics.
Among more than 10,000 characters, proportions of white, black and Asian characters came close to U. S. population figures.
But Hispanics were just 5.8 percent of characters, despite being about 17 percent of the U. S. population.

12. Why has the Oscars ceremony been criticized?
13. What do we learn from the research?
14. Who are regarded as "largely invisible" on TV shows?
15. What does the speaker say about Hispanics?

三、答案

12. A
13. D
14. C
15. B

研究者发现好莱坞不仅存在多样性问题，实际上也经历着入选危机。

奥斯卡典礼前不到一周，有研究表明电影产业比电视产业做得更差。而此前这届奥斯卡因提名演员全是白人遭到批评。

只有3.4%的电影导演是女性，只有7%的电影演员阵容能做到种族平衡，反应国家的多样性。

研究者观察了所有电视节目，发现四十岁以上的非白人女性"毫无存在感"，仅有22%的电视剧创作者是女性。

总的说来，研究发现电影和电视节目中半数没有设置有台词的亚洲角色，超过1/5没有设置有台词的黑人角色。

电影产业仍还是一个白人直男的俱乐部。

研究观察女性的刻画方式，发现女性在荧幕上穿着性感的可能性是男性的四倍，与身材性感挂钩的可能性也约是男性的四倍。

但研究结果也指出，电影或电视节目幕后如有女性或非白人担任重要职位，如导演、制片人或编剧，则更有可能在种族多样性上做得更好。

纵观电视和电影，非白人角色中最被忽略的是西班牙裔。

在超过一万名角色中，白人、黑人和亚洲人角色的比例接近美国相应的人口比例。

但是西班牙裔角色只占5.8%，而美国人口中却又17%的西班牙裔。

请根据你刚刚听到的对话回答问题12至问题15。

问题12：为什么奥斯卡典礼遭到批评？

问题13：研究告诉了我们什么？

问题14：电视节目中什么人被认为是"毫无存在感"的？

问题15：西班牙裔说话者谈了有关西班牙裔的哪些信息？
