23、1:_（正确答案：evening）解析：听力原文UK NewspapersLast time we talked about the newspaper in the USA, and this time we shall focus on that of the UK. Because of the small geographical area of the UK, and the good travel infrastructure, there are many national newspapersunlike the United States, where most newspa

24、pers are printed and published locally. UUnlike France, the main national papers are morning newspapers; indeed, there are no national evening titles/U. (英国是没有晚报的，所以填evening。)UK newspapers are generally grouped into three,mass market newspaper in small size, or redtops such as The Sun, middle-market

25、 newspaper in small size such as The Daily Mail, and quality broadsheets such as The Times. Unlike other European countries, there are no daily all-sport newspapers. I will talk about them from the following several aspects:First, its size that matters. UIn October 2003, quality broadsheet The Indep

26、endent began producing what it preferred to call a compact edition/U(报纸版面的大小也很关键，从2003年10月起，独立报开始出版压缩版报纸，所以填compact。) small-sizedalong with the main broadsheet sized newspaper. This had a stunning effect on circulationsales went up by 20% year-on-yearand The Times followed suit launching its own com

27、pact edition. Both newspapers are now exclusively available in compact form.The Guardian, which denounced the original shift to compact before planning and then junking its own compact format, switched in September 2005 to a mid-size format between newspaper in small size and broadsheet, known as th

28、e Berliner. This is roughly the same width as a newspaper in small size (thus easy to open using public transport), but taller, and therefore giving more flexibility in page design. Its sister paper The Observer also followed suit in January 2006.The Daily Telegraph is the only remaining weekday bro

29、adsheet. It apparently gained from The Times when the latter switched to newspaper in small size, and sees the broadsheet size as being a differentiatorsome advertising has claimed that Telegraph readers have a broader view.UThe Sunday Telegraph and most sections of The Sunday Times are also in broa

30、dsheet size/U. (周日电讯报和周日时代报的大部分版块仍然保持大版面的形式，所以这里填broadsheet)The second aspect is the political leanings in some papers. The two most-popular newspapers are The Sun and The Daily Mirror. Bitter rivals, the papers traditionally hold very differing political views. UThe Sun being Conservative since the

31、 early 1970s, while The Mirror being Labor/U. (不同报纸有不同的政治倾向，镜报倾向于工党，所以填Labor，注意首字母大写。)The Sun veered towards Tony Blairs Labor Party six weeks before his victory in 1997, and has supported Labor in subsequent general elections in 2001 and 2005. However, recently the paper has been more critical of G

32、ordon Brown, and more supportive of the leader of the opposition, David Cameron.Third, Uthe middle-market newspaper in small size, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express are concerned with a very different readershipthat of affluent women/U. (有些中端市场的文摘，如每日邮报和每日快报，它们的读者群主要是比较富裕的女性，所以填affluent。) Weekend

33、 supplements and carefully-placed sponsorship ensure that these titles are a cheap alternative to a magazine, while sports supplements aimed at the husband aim to broaden their readership.The Daily Mail has a reliable right-wing agenda, and is mocked by some for their over alarmist headlines, partic

34、ularly about political asylum seekers, house prices and things that give you cancerin 2009, The Daily Mail claimed in the same month that coffee would give you cancer, as well as cure you from cancer in different stories. However, its formula, said by former owner Lord Northcliffe to give his reader

35、s a daily hate, has made The Daily Mail one of the most popular newspapers in the UK.Fourth, Uthe quality papersthe broadsheets, though not that size anymore, are probably the most famous to readers overseas/U. (高质量的报纸是最受海外读者欢迎的，此处填overseas。) The Times, the UKs oldest national newspaper, is not the

36、most popularthat accolade falls to The Daily Telegraph, known affectionately as The Daily Torygraph because of the staunch support to the Conservative Party.The Independent, The Guardian and the financial newspaper The Financial Times make up the rest of the so-called quality papers.Its important to

37、 notice, though, that the mass-market newspaper in small size sell up to four times as many copies as the broadsheetsand if youre looking in vain for The London Times, such a newspaper title has never, in fact, existedThe Times has always been a national newspaper. The Guardian, once based in Manche

38、ster, was known as The Manchester Guardian until the sixties.Fifth, Ua relatively recent phenomenon in the newspaper industry has been the free morning papers/U. (最近报业出现了免费早报，故应填morning papers，注意用复数。) Free weekly papers are fairly common, supported by advertising and carrying little in the way of ed

39、itorial. But now, with the launch of Assoeiates Metro and similar titles in many metropolitan areas, these newspapers thrive on public transport and in busy cities.Sixth, Uconsolidation seems one of the ways forward/U. (联合是发展趋势之一，所以填consolidation。) The Times and The Suns parent company also owns Sky

40、 television, the UKs satellite television service. The Guardian group now owns the Smooth FM and Real Radio stations, as well as probably the biggest internet presence for a newspaper. On a local scale, the Kent Messenger group also owns the local KM fm radio stations in many areas of Kent, and aggr

41、essively cross-promotes them.New sizes and formats were held to arrest the decline of newspaper buying. In June 2004, newspaper sales were declining year-by-year by 4.7%the only increases worldwide, in fact, coming in developing countries. However, reductions in size for some of the newspapers meant

42、 a temporary increase in circulation. And, Uwhile newspaper sales have been slowly declining, consumption of news can be claimed to have vastly increased/U: (报纸的销售量下降了，但是人们对新闻的“消费”量却增长了，故这里填consumption。) whether from the Internet, or one of the many non-stop news channels available to UK viewers.New

43、spaper companies own their content. The best way of consumption of this content at present is on small sheets of dead, pulped, reformed, wood. It requires no recharging; losing a newspaper is not a major problem; and delivery and availability is easy. UHowever, all national papers now have their own

44、 websites/U; (所有的国家级报纸都有自己的网站，所以填websites。) some are shifting classified advertising away from the printed paper. Content is a useful commodityand the way this is presented in the future may well change. The cleverest newspapers will adapt to use their content in different ways.Thank you for attendi
