15、ion of violence Has 10 impact （分数：30.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：programs）解析： programs 听力原文 Mass Media in AmericaGood morning, everyone, today my topic is mass media in America. Mass media specifically refer to those publications and programs that attempt to serve most or all of the people in a given market . He

16、re I would like to introduce the mass media in America by dividing them into three groups: newspapers, magazines, television. First, lets have a look at newspapers. For a long time, newspapers have been the chief means by which people get themselves informed. For one thing, reading newspapers is dif

17、ferent from watching TV. It gives detailed coverage of news items , and tends to provide substantial treatment of news events. And, sometimes it offers interesting and stimulating opinions as well as analysis over important events at home and abroad. For another, unlike watching TV, reading newspape

18、rs does not require one to be confined to his sitting room. He can do it virtually anywhere he likes: in his car, at the breakfast table, sitting in the sun, waiting at the subway station, and believe it or not, in the restroom. Second, well move to magazines. According to a statistical record in 19

19、90, more than 4,000 of them appear monthly, and over 1,300 are published each week. They cover all topics and interests, from art and architecture to sports, from aviation and gardening to computers and book reviews, from fashion design and cooking to homemaking . Quite a few have international edit

20、ors, are translated into other languages, or have daughter editions in foreign countries. Unlike newspapers, however, weekly newsmagazines tend to give extensive coverage and provide detailed, and sometimes in-depth analysis. Also unlike newspapers, which usually have the lowest common denominator i

21、n their appeal to the general reading public, weekly newsmagazines normally target at the well-educated, well-informed and public-conscious people of the society. Third, Ill say something about television. With the rapid development of science and technology, TV came into being in 1920s . Gradually,

22、 televisions impact on American society has been more and more profound. It has changed the lifestyles of most Americans and become a major influence on American culture. It can be seen from five aspects. First and foremost is the socialization effect . Many studies have shown that TVs dominance as

23、household activity often reduces the level of communication among family members and, as a result, much of the culture being distributed to youngsters today in the United States comes from the tube rather than the family. Secondly, television programming has played an important role in shaping and r

24、eflecting for the masses the cultural changes that have been occurring in American society. TV functions both as a transmitter of new cultural trends and as a molder of new attitudes towards these new trends. Thirdly, television has revolutionized the marketing of goods in the American economy. With

25、 TV marketing, people become vulnerable to the products, or in other words, to the commercials. Fourthly, the cultural impact of violent TV programs has been quite enormous. Needless to say , the question of violence on TV has been around nearly as long as the medium exists. Many critics claim that

26、TV violence increases violence in American society. Fifthly, the impact of TV on religion has also been an issue of great concern to many Americans. So far now, it is still an issue full of disputes . 考点 本题出题点在定义处。 解析 从题干处的标题Definition of mass media可知，此处考查的内容与大众传媒的定义有关，空格前是Publications(出版物)以及连词and，可
