Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun, pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news, thus giving advertisers【C1】________ to a wider audience. The penny press, followed by radio and television, turned news from a two-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a【C2】________ small number of firms controlling the media.
Now, the news industry is【C3】________ to something closer to the coffee house. The Internet is making news more participatory, social and diverse, reviving the【C4】________ characteristics of the era before the mass media are【C5】________.
Newspaper circulations lose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009.
Over the past decade, throughout the Western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in【C6】________ different ways. Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and【C7】________ news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Social-networking sites help people find, discuss and share news with their friends.
And it is not just readers who are【C8】________ the media elite. Technology firms including Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks; many countries now make raw data available through "open government" initiatives. The Internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to【C9】________ in a very short space of time. And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides a(n)【C10】________ way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets.
A. considerably B. access C. anonymous D. height
E. returning F. advantage G. relatively H. challenging
I. chatty J. flourishing K. discursive L. prominence
M. distributing N. profoundly O. fighting
【C3】
选项
答案
E
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词或动词(进行式或被动式)。根据下文“reviving the________characteristics of the era before.the mass media”可见本段文字描述新闻业又回到大众媒体以前的时代特征了;这与上文所指出的大众媒体所带来的变化形成一种相反趋势,是一种回归,所以选择returning。
