    Newspapers have one basic【C4】______, to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to【C5】______it.

【C8】
选项 A、value
B、ratio
C、rate
D、speed
答案D
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。首先句中的faster就十分明显地暗示了与速度的关系，空格后的efficiency更是体现了与速度的紧密联系，因为要提高效率必须加快速度。四个选项中只有speed和rate与速度有关。speed指事物运行的速度，如：He decided to accelerate the speed after checking the ma—chine．他检查机器后，决定加速。rate意为“比率，速度”，表示某一确定数量与另一所测数量的比率，如：With the development of society，infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced．随着社会的发展。婴儿死亡率已大大降低。此句没有谈到比率问题，只是说“提高(传播)速度”，因此选speed。value“价值”，与句中的efficiency“效率”没有直接的关系。ratio意为“比例，比值”，如：The ratio of 8 to 3 is written 8：3．八比三写作8：3。
