问题     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.

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.

【C15】
选项 A、coordinated
B、obsessed
C、dominated
D、eliminated
答案C
解析 动词辨义题。根据前文可推知，“新闻发布不再为少数的传媒巨头和类似英国广播公司这样的国家媒体所操控”，因此dominate“控制，支配，占优势”符合题意。coordinate“调整，整合”；obsess“迷住，缠住”；eliminate“消除，排除”，均不符合文意，故排除。
