The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots (骚乱,暴乱) broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布......无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading, "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally (集会) for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding (展开) on television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.
The best title for the passage is______.
选项
A、The 1992 Los Angeles Riots
B、The Impact of Media on Current Events
C、The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots
D、How Media Cover Events
答案
B
解析
本题问本文的最佳标题是什么。文章第一段第一句指出,媒体可以影响时事。这句话是全文的主旨,以下几段分别举例说明了这一主旨。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“媒体对时事的影响”A“1992年洛杉矶的骚乱”。第三段中提到的洛杉矶的骚乱仅是电子媒体如何影响时事的一个例子。C“1989年旧金山地震和1992年洛杉矶的骚乱”。第二段中提到的有关旧金山地震的报道和第三段中提到的洛杉矶的骚乱仅是电子媒体如何影响时事的例子。D“媒体是如何报道事件的”。本文侧重点在于媒体对事件的影响,而不是媒体如何报道事件。
