A great deal of communicating is performed on a

38、 person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society. 2 Face-

39、to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, invent

40、iveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news

41、. 3 No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on t

46、A） To possess information used to be a privilege. （ B） Public libraries have replaced private libraries. （ C） Communication means more than transmission. （ D） Information influences ways of life and thinking. 84 From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is_. （ A） indifferent to the harmfu

48、t home-video market analysts are predicting that demand for the ultra-convenient kiosks could soon start cooling off as video streaming and video-on-demand gain in popularity. Mind you, analysts at J. P. Morgan arent sounding the death knell for DVD kiosks just yet, according to KioskMarketplace. co
