Traditionally, it was the parents of the bride who worried about planning their daughter’s big day. Now it is the children who are being asked to organise their parents’ wedding, in a BBC "reality" show. In Marrying Mum & Dad, children as young as seven will be allowed to spend up to £10 000 on each wedding, picking out bridal gowns and dreaming up surprise themes. The corporation says that it wants to see parents who are cohabiting, those remarrying after divorce, and even homosexual couples taking part, to "reflect modern Britain." But critics claim that it risks trivialising marriage and gives children a huge amount of responsibility which they may not be able to handle. The series for CBBC, the corporation’s digital channel for primary school age children, will ask children aged between seven and twelve to arrange the character and style of the wedding or civil partnership. They will be asked to oversee as many aspects of the day as they want, from the transport and entertainment to the dress and cake—though they will not be allowed to arrange hen nights or stag parties. Parents on the show will have to be prepared to adapt to youthful tastes. Producers said they were anticipating unconventional ideas, which could see parents walking down the aisle dressed as animated characters, such as Shrek and Princess Fiona. Ninder Billing, the executive producer of Marrying Mum & Dad, said, "Marriages are increasingly taking place where children are already in the picture and this is something we can take for granted."
22. What can be inferred about Marrying Mum & Dad?
23. What is the voice of critics mainly about?
24. What will CBBC ask the primary school age children to do?
25. What will parents have to do on the show?

选项 A、It risks the healthy growth of children.
B、It makes weddings too expensive to enjoy for new couples.
C、It makes people feel weddings are not being taken seriously.
D、It has negative influence on children.

答案 C

解析 细节推断题。短文中间部分提到,BBC表示想让那些未婚同居、离异后准备再婚的情侣和同性恋情侣参加节目,以“反映现代英国"。但是批评人士称,这会让人觉得节目轻视婚礼,并让孩子们承担起过大的责任。
