In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamins 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 subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, 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 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 case.” 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 stockholders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and testpreparation service now brings in at least half the companys income.语篇导读本文简单介绍了报业的发展历程，且通过数据表达了对这个行业未来的担忧。1What can we learn about The New England Courant?AIt is mainly about the stock market.BIt carries articles by political leaders.CIt marks the beginning of newspapers.DIt remains a successful newspaper in America.解析 C细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，The New England Courant是第一份真正的报纸，即它标志着报业的开端，故选C项。2What can we infer about the newspaper editors?AThey often accept readers suggestions.BThey care a lot about each others health.CThey stop doing business with advertisers.DThey face great difficulties in their business.解析 D推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，报业在衰落，编辑们的工作面临极大困难，故选D项。3Which of the following found a new way for its development?AThe Washington Post.BThe Guardian.CThe New York Times.DThe New England Courant.解析 A细节理解题。根据本文最后一句可知，华盛顿邮报公司通过调整业务方向避免了进一步衰落，故选A项。4How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?ASatisfied.

The two founders claimed it was the “finest news source” in the US. 25 years later, it has become one of the most established media presences in the US. But dont expect accuracy and timeliness from it, for The Onion only publishes fake news or news satire(讽刺). Its aim is to make readers laugh and perhaps make them see things from a different angle.Will Tracy, The Onions editorinchief, says that their stories are presented in a sort of news voice which improves them to a certain level of importance that isnt actually understandable. It has an ability to elegantly locate a problem with an economy of words.Traditional media outlets are cautious when reporting on sensitive topics such as religion and race. Tracy says nothing is off limits for The Onion. In her words, that is “no matter how uncomfortable they may make some readers”. But the editors at The Onion do take a firm line, as Tracy explains, “What you have to be really careful about is what the target of the joke is. If the target of the joke is wrong, then it doesnt feel right and it also doesnt feel funny.” The Onion generated public outrage when earlier this year, it tried to make fun of a 9yearold Oscarnominated(奥斯卡提名的) actress by using highly impolite language. It later apologized.语篇导读本文介绍了The Onion这一新闻机构的创建背景与特点。5What can we know about The Onion according to Paragraph 1?AIts news materials are all real and timely.BIt often makes fun of the public based on the wrong news.CIts aim is to make readers feel relaxed and see problems from different angles.DIts first article written by Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson was published on Aug 29, 1988.解析 C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，该报旨在使读者感到轻松并从不同角度看待问题，故选C项。6What is the meaning of the underlined word “outrage” in Paragraph 3?AAnger.
