第1题：
Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every clay.Some people subscribe to?as many as two or three different newspapers.But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago,news of important happenings--battles lost and won,kings or rulers?overthrown or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news?passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important?events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world,newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports,radio,television and film guides,,book reviews,stories,and,of?course,advertisements.There are all sorts of advertisements.The bigger ones are put in by large?companies to bring attention to their products.They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their?advertising space,but′it is worth the money,for news of their products goes into almost every home?in the country.For those who produce newspapers,advertisements are also important.Money earned?from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make?a profit.
The money spent on advertisements is__________.A.wasted
B.not much
C.worthwhile
D.of no use to anyone答案：C解析：【考情点拨】事实细节题。【应试指导】文章第三段讲到，报纸中有各类广告．大公司花钱做广告是值得的（it is worth the?money）。因为“它们所经营产品的消息几乎能够进入全国的每一个家庭”。 -
第2题：
Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper?A year ago the end seemed near.The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the Internet.Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom.America's Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers.Should they become charitable corporations?Should the state subsidize them?It will hold another meeting soon.But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is little sign of crisis.German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession.Even American newspapers,which inhabit the most troubled corner of the global industry,have not only survived but often returned to profit.Not the 20%profit margins that were routine a few years ago,but profit all the same.It has not been much fun.Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard.The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007.Readers are paying more for slimmer products.Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs.Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and,sadly for many journalists,they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses,with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers.American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads.Fully 87%of their revenues came from advertising in 2008,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation&Development（OECD）.In Japan the proportion is 35%.Not surprisingly,Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody,but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive.Car and film reviewers have gone.So have science and general business reporters.Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.Newspapers are less complete as a result.But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?A.Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.
B.Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
C.Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.
D.Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.答案：A解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题，需要锁定和理解文章末段的具体信息，从而推理得出答案。【直击答案】根据最后一段首句but后内容可知“受创最严重的是报社中最不具特色的领域”，即特色性很重要，因此A项正确。【干扰排除】由末段倒数第二句“Newspapers…result.”可知完整性是报业的结果而不是报业失败的原因，B项属于因果倒置，故错误。句子“Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.”并未提及驻外机构在报业中起到什么作用，C项属于无中生有，故不选。由句子“Car and film reviewers have gone”可知“汽车和电影的评论员已消失。”从中无法得知读者对其失去兴趣，D项属于过度推理，不选。 -

The most appropriate title for this text would be____A.American Newspapers:Struggling for Survival
B.American Newspapers:Gone with the Wind
C.American Newspapers:A Thriving Business
D.American Newspapers:A Hopeless Story答案：A解析：主旨题【命题思路】这是一道主旨题，需要对全文进行锁定，从而得出答案。【直击答案】由题干“The most appropriate title”可知这个题目考查考生对文章主旨的把握能力。这篇文章描述了美国报业面对危机时积极采取各种措施得以生存和发展。故A项与文章主旨相符，正确。【干扰排除】由文章首段末句“But the discussions now seem out of date.”可知关于拯救报业的探讨都不合时宜了，这说明美国报业已经度过危机，开始复苏了，而B项“随风而逝”和D项“绝望的故事”均与此句意思相反，故不选。由文章第三段首句“It has not been much fun.”可知虽然美国报业复苏了，但是情况并不乐观，并没有复苏到繁荣的程度，C项属于过度推理。 -

第10题：
问答题Practice 9 The British are the most voracious newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engrossed in an evening newspaper. There are many “morning papers”, both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Contrary to what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, but they are not organs of the political parties, with the exception of the Communist Morning Star. Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press. Some newspapers, such as the sober Daily Telegraph and The Times (which belong to the “quality press'') use photographs sparingly. The more “popular” newspapers, using the small or “tabloid” format, such as the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and The Sun, use pictures extensively and also run strip-cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking pictorial comment on politics.正确答案： 【参考译文】
英国人是世界上最爱读报的民族。早餐时,他们一边吃,一边读;在去公交车的路上读报;上班的路上也读报;下班以后回家的途中他们在埋头读晚报。
英国有许多种“晨报”,既有全国性的,也有地方性的。最著名的晨报要数《泰晤士报》。许多外国人以为它是官方报纸,其实正好相反。通常各家报纸都有自己的政治见解,但是它们可不是政党的喉舌,不过,共产党的报纸《晨星报》是个例外。
醒目的粗体标题和各种照片是英国报纸的特色。一些报纸,如格调严肃的《每日电讯报》和《泰晤士报》(两者均属“严肃报纸”),轻易不刊登照片。比较“通俗”的报纸。采用小版面或文摘的格式,如《每日快报》、《每日邮报》、《每日镜报》和《太阳报》,都刊登大量照片,还有连环漫画和幽默画,其中一些画生动地表达出犀利的政治见解。解析： 暂无解析 -

Dtraditional newspapers are easy to read
正确答案： A解析：
根据文章最后一句话，It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the change over because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have...可知，人们购买电脑需要金钱，而且传统意义上的报纸已经在纸行业的利润中占据了很大的比重。在短时间内，人们很难达到从电脑上看报纸的水平。故选B。 -

Some newspapers refused delivery to distant suburbs probably because_____A.readers threatened to pay less
B.newspapers wanted to reduce costs
C.journalists reported little about these areas
D.subscribers complained about slimmer products答案：B解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题，需要根据题干的关键信息对文章的具体信息进行锁定，从而推理得出答案。【直击答案】根据题干信息定位到第三段。根据该段第四句“Readers are paying more for slimmer products.”可知“读者要给内容缩水的报纸支付更多钱”，也就是说报业降低了成本。根据该段第五句“Some papers…distant suburbs.”可知“一些报业甚至有勇气拒绝向远郊用户投递。”再由该段第六句“these desperate measures…”，可知上文中的“报纸内容缩水”和“拒绝向远郊投递”都是报业采取的措施，而报业之所以这么做是为了降低成本，故B项正确。【干扰排除】根据原文第三段第四句可知A项与原文信息相反，故错误。但是由这句话并不能得知读者是否会抱怨缩水的报纸，D项属于过度推理，故不选。原文并未提及记者报道的具体内容，只是对美国报业现状进行客观分析，C项属于无中生有，故不选。 -

问答题Practice 2 The British are the most voracious newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engrossed in an evening newspaper.

The more “popular” newspapers, using the small or “tabloid” format, such as the Daily Express, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and The Sun, use pictures extensively and also run strip-cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking pictorial comment on politics. Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, British newspapers specialize in pages devoted to criticism of the arts and a woman’s page. One feature found in many foreign newspapers is missing in British papers: the serial. Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sport and athletics. The evening newspapers (the first editions of which appear in the morning!) are often bought because the purchaser wants to know the winner of a race, or to get a good tip for a race that is still to be run. There is no censorship of the press in Britain (except in wartime), though of course all newspapers-like private persons-are responsible for what they publish, and be sued for libel for publishing articles that go beyond the bounds of decency, or for “contempt for court” (e. g. calling man a murderer while he is still being tried). Such lawsuits are infrequent. The population of the United Kingdom is now over 55,000,000. About 17,500,000 newspapers are sold every day. The British people, therefore, are great readers of newspapers. There are few homes to which one newspaper is not delivered every morning. Many households have two, or even three, newspapers every day. One newspaper may be delivered at the house, a member of the family may buy one at the station bookstall to read in the train as he goes to town, and someone else in the family may buy an evening newspaper later in the day.正确答案： 参考译文

除了与世界各地的报纸一样的特征外,英国报纸尤其以艺术评论版和女性专版见长。许多外国报纸都有的、而英国报纸却没有的特色是:小说连载。
几乎所有的报纸都特别注重体育和竞技的报道。人们买晚报(各晚报第一次印刷的报纸在早晨发行!)因为想知道某场赛马的赢家是谁,或者想得到有关即将举行的赛马的重要内部消息。
在英国没有新闻审查制度(战争期间例外),不过,所有的报纸同个人一样,当然要对登载的内容负责,而且如果登载了有失体面的文章,或者有“蔑视法庭”之嫌(如某人仍在庭审就称其为凶手),则会被指控为诽谤罪。不过,这种指控不常发生。
英国现有人口5500多万,每天售出的报纸多达1750万份,所以说英国是世界上酷爱读报的民族。每天清早没有报纸投递上门的人家真不多见。许多家庭订阅的报纸每天有两份、甚至三份,有的家庭虽然每天有一份报纸送上门来,但是家里某个人进城时可能在火车站书报亭买一份路上看,另一个人可能在傍晚买一份晚报回家读。解析： 暂无解析 -
第22题：
单选题ALowering the prices of their newspapers.
BShortening their news stories.
CAdding variety to their newspaper content.
DIncluding more advertisements in their newspapers.
正确答案： C解析：
细节题。录音最后说编辑们采取的措施包括“adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes, giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers’ interest.”，故选C。
【录音原文】
Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as nonreaders. Early research has shown that nonreaders are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, nonreaders are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that nonreaders tend to isolate themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. Why don’t these people read daily paper? They say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or TV, and they have no interest in reading at all. And besides, they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the nonreader is more complicated than first thought. There appears to be a group of nonreaders that does not fit the type mentioned above. They are high in income, and fall into the age group of 26 to 65. They are far more likely to report that they don’t have the time to read the papers, and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers are attempting to win them back. First, they are adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes. This will help overcome the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers’ interest.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. What is typical of nonreaders according to the early research?
2. What are the findings of recent surveys?
3. What are editors and publishers doing to attract the nonreaders? -
