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
42、he TV to watch a programme that is being channelled into millions of homes. 4 Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, e
43、ducation and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining. 5 Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast
44、modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back. 81 In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _ of face-to-face contact in social settings. （ A） nature （ B） limitation （ C） usefulness （ D） creativity 82
45、 It is implied in the passage that_. （ A） local news used to be the only source of information. （ B） local news still takes a significant place. （ C） national news is becoming more popular. （ D） international news is the fastest transmitted news. 83 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? （
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
47、l influence of the mass media. （ B） happy about the drastic changes in the mass media. （ C） pessimistic about the future of the mass media. （ D） concerned about the wrong use of the mass media. 84 DVD rental kiosks(售货亭 )from Redbox and Blockbuster seem to be popping up on every corner these days, bu
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
49、m(via Home Media Magazine). Indeed, another analyst quoted in the KioskMarketplace story thinks it will take “ several years“ for J. P. Morgans “gloomy“ scenario to play out. But the authors of the Morgan report do believe that the DVD kiosk business will peak in 2011 as competitors like Netflix, Apple, Amazon, and your friendly neighborh
