No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2, 000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or The New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country.
However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselvesto state or city news.
Like the
press
in most other countries, American newspapers range from the " sensational" , which feature crime , sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.
Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily news papers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.
In this passage, the word "press" (Para. 3) means______.
选项
A、a machine for printing
B、the business of printing
C、great force
D、newspapers
答案
D
解析
语义题。根据第三段第一句可知,此句在比较美国的报纸与大多数其他国家的报纸,所以press与后面的newspapers相对应,选项D(报纸)符合题意。选项A(印刷机)、选项B(印刷业)和选项C(强大的力量)均与文章的内容不符,故本题选D。
