Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter. They【C1】______in coffee houses and inns in the form of leaflets (传单). Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, the New York Sun,【C2】______the use of advertising to【C3】______down the cost of news, thus giving advertisers【C4】______to a wider audience.
In much of the world, the mass media are【C5】______. Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009, but these global figures mask a sharp【C6】______in readership in rich countries. Over the past decade,【C7】______the Western world, people have been【C8】______newspapers and TV news and【C9】______up with events in profoundly different ways. Most【C10】______, ordinary people are increasingly【C11】______in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and【C12】______news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. And it is not just readers who are【C13】______the media elite (精英). Technology firms including Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important channels of news. Many countries now make raw data【C14】______through " open government" initiatives. The Internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The news agenda is no longer【C15】______by a few press barons (男爵) and state outlets, like the BBC.
In principle, every liberal should celebrate this. A more social news environment, and with a remarkable【C16】______and a range of news sources, is a good thing. A Texan who once had to【C17】______on the Houston Chronicle to【C18】______the world can now collect information from infinite different sources. What is to be done? At a societal (社会的) level, not much. The change of the news business cannot be【C19】______, and attempts to reverse it are【C20】______to failure.
【C6】
选项
A、delay
B、decay
C、decline
D、depression
答案
C
解析
名词辨义题。前面提到“2005至2009年间,全球的报纸发行量增长了6%”,后面的but使语气转折,故此处选项应与rise词义相反,本句意为“在富裕国家,报纸的读者人数正在急剧下降”。因此decline“下降”符合题意。delay“延期,耽搁”;decay“衰退”;depression“沮丧,不景气”,均不符合文意,故排除。
