Curiously, for a publication called a newspaper, no one has ever coined a standard definition of news. But for the most part, news usually falls under one broad classification the abnormal. It is human folly, mechanical failures and natural disasters that often "make the news".
【R1】______Occasionally, a reporter will go to jail rather than reveal the name of a confidential source for a news story. American newspapers proudly consider themselves the fourth branch of government—the watchdog branch that exposes legislative, executive and judicial misbehavior.
【R2】______Others are called general assignment reporters, which means they are on call for a variety of stories such as accidents, civil events and human-interest stories. Depending on a newspaper’s needs during the daily news cycle, seasoned reporters easily shift between beat and general-assignment work.(New reporters once were called cubs, but the term is no longer used.)
【R3】______They are our chroniclers of daily life, sorting, sifting and bringing a sense of order to a disorderly world.
【R4】______Other editors—sports, photo, state, national, features and obituary, for example—may also report to the managing editor.
【R5】______
Once the city or metro editor has finished editing a reporter’s raw copy, the story moves from the composition system via the computer network to another part of the news division, the copy desk. Here, copy editors check for spelling and other errors of usage. They may also look for "holes" in the story that would confuse readers or leave their questions unanswered. If necessary, copy editors may check facts in the newspaper’s library, which maintains a large collection of reference books, microfilm and online copies of stories that have appeared in the paper.
[A]All reporters are ultimately responsible to an editor. Depending on its size, a newspaper may have numerous editors, beginning with an executive editor responsible for the news division. Immediately below the executive editor is the managing editor, the person who oversees the day-to-day work of the news division.
[B]Reporters are a newspaper’ s front-line eyes and ears. Reporters glean information from many sources, some public, such as police records, and others private, such as a government informant.
[C]Newspapers are increasingly doing this work, called pagination, with personal computers using software available at any office supply store. Microsoft Windows, Word and Quark Express are three programs that, though not designed for newspaper production, are easily adapted for it.
[D]However, the best known and in some ways the most crucial editor is the city or metro editor. This is the editor that reporters work for directly. The city or metro editor assigns stories, enforces deadlines and is the first to see reporters’ raw copy on the composition system or computer network. These editors are called gatekeepers, because they control much of what will and will not appear in the next day’ s paper.
[E]Before we see what happens to the electronic pages built by the copy desk, it will be helpful to understand how other divisions of the newspapers contribute to the production cycle.
[F]Some reporters are assigned to beats, or an area of coverage, such as the courts, city hall, education, business, medicine and so forth.
[G]In the movies, reporters have exciting, frenzied and dangerous jobs as they live a famous pronouncement of the newspaper business: Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Although a few members of the media have been killed as a result of investigations into wrongdoing, newspaper work for the great majority of reporters is routine.
【R3】
选项
答案
G
解析
本段所给的内容中提到记者是“日常生活的记录者”(our chroniclers of daily life),而G项最后一句指出绝大部分记者的工作内容就是“日常生(routine)”。由此可见,本段的后半部分是对G项内容的扩展延伸。这里的daily life与routine属于同义转换。G项提到在电影中记者的工作是危险、发狂的,接着转折提出现实生活中记者的工作趋于平淡。
