Moving away from newspapers, let’s now focus on magazines. Now the first magazine was a little periodical called The Review, and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time. But in terms of its content, it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of the day, as well as the policies of the government. Now in England at that time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that’s what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce The Review and the magazine started to appear on a more frequent schedule, about three times a week. It didn’t take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709, a magazine called The Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis, and philosophical essays.
19. What is the topic discussed in this passage?
20. According to the speaker, how was The Review different from early newspapers?
21. What does the speaker say about The Tattler?
选项
A、Early newspapers in England.
B、The early history of magazines.
C、The life of Daniel Defoe.
D、Differences between newspapers and magazines.
答案
B
解析
主旨题。短文开篇说道“我们现在来谈谈杂志”,听懂了这一句即可猜测下文将要讲述magazine。而下文讲了The Review早期创建的情况和other magazines的情况,从反面验证了猜测。故答案为B。
