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 he 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 themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and rumour, 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 (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers 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.
There are fewer national newspapers in______.
选项
A、Britain than in the USA
B、France than in Britain
C、the USA than in Britain or France
D、France than in the USA or Britain
答案
C
解析
文中第一段这样说;“美国虽然有像《华盛顿邮报》或《纽约时报》这样在全世界都有很大影响的报纸,但它们都不是全国性的。但与之具有同样影响的报纸,如英国的《泰晤士报》或法国的《世界报》却都是全国性的。原因就在于在美国每个城市都有自己的地方性报纸。虽然许多报纸都把内容限定在州或市的新闻上,但这些报纸中办得不错的却都对国内和国际的新闻进行详细的报道。”所以比起英国或法国,美国几乎没有全国性的报纸。
