The economy of the United states after 1952 was the econnomy of a well-fed,almost fully employed people. Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom.

The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950.

Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.he boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.

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charitable corporations?Should the state subsidize them?It will hold another meeting soon.But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is little sign of crisis.German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession.Even American newspapers,which inhabit the most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.
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。 -

By saying“Newspapers like…their own doom”（Lines 23,Para.1）,the author indicates that newspapers____A.neglected the sign of crisis
B.failed to get state subsidies
C.were not charitable corporations
D.were in a desperate situation答案：D解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题，需要根据题干锁定文章的具体信息，从而推理出答案。【直击答案】根据题干定位到首段第四句：“Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle…doom.”这句话用了比喻义，报业为自己的命运编年纪事也就说美国报业不景气，通过这句话，我们可知美国报业处于危急之中，因此D项正确。【干扰排除】原文中并未提及报业忽视对危机的信号反应，故A项属于无中生有。B项在首段倒数第三句提及，但只是讨论“国家要不要资助报业”而非“美国报业未能得到资助”，故不选。C项“不是慈善公司”根据原文也无法直接得出，属于过度推理。 -

Compared with their American counterparts,Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they______A.have more sources of revenue
B.have more balanced newsrooms
C.are less dependent on advertising
D.are less affected by readership答案：C解析：细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部细节题，需要根据题干的关键信息对文章的具体信息进行锁定，从而分析得出答案。【直击答案】根据题干信息美国和日本报业的对比定位到第四段。根据第四段第二、三句可知“美国报业长期依赖广告收入，这是不正常的。2008年，美国报业的广告收入占总收入的87%…”。再根据第四段最后两句可知“这个比例在日本是35%。因此日本报业更加稳定也就不足为奇了。”由此，考生可以判断出日本的报业稳定是因为广告收入占总收入的比例较小，即日本报业并不太依赖广告，因此C项正确。【干扰排除】原文第四段只提及广告收入占总收入的比例，以及这个比例对整个报业稳定性的影响，但是并未提及A项收入来源，B项新闻编辑部以及D项对于读者的影响，故这三项属于无中生有，均不选。 -
