B.The American Civil War.C.The 19th century.D.Its unclear.解析：听力原文19-21 Well, good morning. Last week we went through the beginning of the new republic. There are a number of myths we need to
21、 clear up. The first is that the legislators of the US Constitution saw the document as what it was. In fact, a lot of the delegates at the Constitutional Convention hated it. So many compromises had to be made in order to secure agreement that many participants viewed it, as Alexander Hamilton put
22、it, “a weak and worthless fabric“. Fifteen delegates refused to sign it, and even the Constitutions biggest supporters saw it as little more than a makeshift measureafter a few years passed, the new delegates could meet at another convention and try to pass something better. Another myth that has be
23、en propagated in history was that the Founding Fathers believed in democracy. The truth is the Founding Fathers, that is, the men who framed the Constitution, disagreed about many things, but on one point they were in complete agreement: that democracy meant mass rule and if uncontrolled, it would p
24、ose a grave threat to life, liberty and property, and so on. There was nothing unusual in the Founding Fathers suspicion of democracy; it was conventional wisdom in the 18th century. Even well into the 19th century, in the United States as well as Western Europe, the word “democracy“ had a boring co
25、nnotation, especially among conservatives. The question then becomes “how did both the Constitution and democracy become so workable and sustainable?“ And thats what well deal with in the next class. 19.

28、 of events.B.Quick speed of production.C.Immediacy of reporting.D.Focus on local events. 解析：听力原文22-25 A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business and fa
29、shion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial pages to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumpin
30、g from here to them, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety toge
31、ther in one place is its topicality, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But the immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two peo
32、ple really read the same paper: What each person does is to put together out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but with
33、out wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading. 22. Which of the following is NOT a trait of a modern newspaper?A.Because people scan for the news they are interested in.B.Because different people prefer different newspapers.C.Because people are
