The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years.In 1721,the printerJames Franklin,Benjamin’S older brother,started the New England Courant,and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.He filled his paper with stories of adventure,articles on art,on famous people。and on all sorts of political subj ects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant,few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long.Newspaper compiles are losing advertisers(广告商),readers,market value,and in some cases,their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago.The chief editor(主编)of the Times said recently,“At places where they gather,editors ask one another,‘How are you?’,as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian,under the headline“NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not,but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world,has brought about a real sense of death.Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years.The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票)drop by 54%since the end of 2004,with much of the loss coming in the past year.A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock—holders sell off their Times stock.The Washington Post Companyhas prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education。its testing and test—prepa—ration service now brings in at least half the company’S income.
The underlined word“outlawed”in paragraph 2 probably iilcans“________”.
选项
A、allowed
B、banned
C、offered
D、refused
答案
B
解析
outlawed出自“after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV,1 in 5 Af—ghans had one.”。从构词法上看law是法律的意思,那么outlaw就表示法律之外的意思,也就是“非法的,不合乎法律的”的意思,根据常识看电视是合乎法律的,那么不合乎法律的很可能就是不让看电视了,也就是禁止看电视,即banned。而且根据政治常识可知Taliban(塔利班)是非常苛刻严厉的,那么就很可能会是禁止百姓看电视了。
