30、tisements that come out of a comic strip.C.Sensational and exaggerated journalistic reports.D.Newspapers and magazines serving public interests解析:听力原文W: Now that the 20th century has slipped into history, we take this opportunity to look back at 100 years of journalism. Joining us now Clarence Page,

31、 columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Welcome.M: Thank you.W: You know, in the early 1900s, the Citizen Kane era, you had a lot of papersThe World, Sun, Herald Tribune, Telegram, Mirror, News, Times, Post, and so on. But many of these were openly partisan papers swinging away on behalf of Democrats or

32、 Republicans. Todays newspapers are big, supposedly objective, but more homogenous and some would say boring. Have we lost something?M: Oh, I dont think theyre boring. I think that todays newspapers are infinitely better than any one of those newspapers that you mentioned there. You go back and look

33、 at those things, I mean the word yellow journalism, although it came out of a comic strip, came to speak about a whole generation of papers that were untrustworthy, in which you couldnt tell the difference between an advertisement and news and a good part of the news was made up or created to serve

34、 the interests of the publisher.W: But arent newspapers today a little more cautious, Clarence?M: Well, thats always the question. The worst thing we can do is to be boring. We also dont want to be offensive. At the beginning of the century we were an immigration country, mostly immigrants coming fr

35、om Europe. We are once again an immigration country but theyre coming from all over the world. Were also a country that recognizes diversity in different kinds of ways. When I came to Chicago, we had four daily newspapers and that was fun to be a reporter. Weve got two dailies in town and the real c

36、ompetition is not between the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times but between us and the suburban papers.W: Exactly.M: And thats true all over the country. Now the suburban papers are competing with the old urban papers because America is changing once again. Now were a more suburban country.W

37、: I would hate to return to the days of partisan papers or the days when the staffs were all white, mostly male, a far cry from today. But I do think that newspapers have gotten very cautious in their new monopoly status in most cities. Lets flash forward now to World War II and the coverage there.

38、It was an era of great storytellers. But it was also a very patriotic kind of coverage.M: Well, look back home, a classic story of how American journalists and photographers didnt put pictures of Roosevelt in his wheelchair, of how the one young photographer started to take a picture and the older o

39、ne knocked the camera out of his hands.W: Inconceivable today.M: Exactly, and the whole culture has changed and our role now is more adversarialand the public expects us to be so.W: I have a question for you because in the same decade of the 1960s that we had the civil rights upheaval we also had th

40、e Vietnam War and because of the focus of the press on how badly the war was going, Im wondering if some might say that that, too, was advocacy journalism that helped turn the country against the Vietnam War.M: I dont think it was advocacy because that suggests a predetermined point of view. I think

41、 in the case of Vietnam the reporters were reporting the facts and the facts were stacked against the reality that was being presented by the Pentagon. Advocacy presupposes that you go to the typewriter or the computer with a fixed point of view. That was not the case in Vietnam. I remind you that i

42、n the early years of the war in Vietnam, the resounding message in the press corps was prowar, that is to say pro the U.S. position in the war.W: Certainly. Right.M: And, in fact, its interesting, our evening news was only 15 minutes long. But it was 15 minutes long until the fall of 1963 when Huntl

43、ey Brinkley and the others went to a half hour just in time for JFK to be assassinated and become the first 24hour TV news story. And then the Vietnam War heated up after that, along with civil rights, etc., and TV became the real conveyor of the narrative here.W: OK, well talk about where the media

44、 are heading in the 21st century. Television clearly changed the world but the Internet seems to be remaking it once again and even more significantly. Is that a good thing?M: Its good and its bad. I mean there is now much more competition. On the other hand, of course, you get very, very bad and da

45、ngerous web sites. Itll need to be policed.W: Clarence Page, thanks very much for helping us cover the last hundred years.M: Likewise. Thank you.推理题。访谈中男士认为当今的报纸并不枯燥,远胜于以前的报纸。他以yellow journalism(黄色新闻)为反面例子,认为这种哗众取宠的新闻作风代表了整整一代不可靠、模糊广告和新闻界限、为出版商私利而不惜杜撰的新闻风格。因此C为正确答案。注意untrustworthy和made up贬义词表明说话人对ye

46、llow journalism的反感。(2).Newspapers today dont want to be offensive mainly because _.AU.S. is an immigration country respecting diversityBthey are on behalf of the Democrats or RepublicansCthere is not much competition between newspapersDit is fun to be a reporter of old urban papers(分数:2.60)A.B.C.D.解析:推理题。男士说当今的报纸虽然最忌讳枯燥乏味,但也不想显得唐突无礼。他解释说美国是个移民国家,还是一个承认多样性的国家,并以芝加哥报纸竞争激烈为例说明这种多样性。因此A为正确答案。(3).Why does the story of Roosevelt not being photographed in wheelchair show?A
