    Newspapers have one basic【C4】______, to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to【C5】______it. Radio, telegraph, television, and【C6】______inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication.【C7】______, this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly make use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the【C8】______and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are【C9】______and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields.

【C14】
选项 A、tries to cover
B、manages to cover
C、fails to cover
D、succeeds in
答案C
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。这里是在比较销售报纸的收入与刊登广告的收入对报纸的影响力。而接下来的句子明确说明广告才是绝大多数报纸的主要经济来源，那么销售报纸的收入必然处于次要地位。本句空格后的even(甚至)又把这两种经济来源的作用的差距拉大，因此，依其逻辑就应该是说报纸销售收入“甚至抵消不了报纸生产成本的很小一部分”，由此，只有选项fails to cover符合题意。其他几个选项tries to cover(尽力冲抵一小部分成本)，manages to cover(能够冲抵一小部分成本)，succeeds in(能够冲抵一小部分成本)都与句子含义不符。try to do意为“努力去做”，但不一定做成，如：I tried to convince him of his error，but I failed．我努力让他认识到他的错误，但失败了。而manage to do和succeed in doing都是表示做成了某事，如：He managed to get a promotion．他设法升了职。／He succeeded in getting there on time．他成功地准时到达了那儿。
