9、or each blank marked 1 to 15.(2 points each)Science as a Source of Trustworthy Knowledge Why turn to research and the procedures of science to understand the process and effects of mass communication? Are there【 C1】 _other valid sources of trustworthy knowledge? The answer, of course, is【 C2】 _; peo
10、ple over the centuries have used many other sources to answer their questions. But each has its advantages and limitations. For example, 【 C3】_centuries people have found answers to important questions in religion, because it provides revelations from the supernatural. That seems like a reliable sou
11、rce, and for many kinds of questions, 【 C4】 _is. However, for something as complex and technical as modern mass media, religion might not provide particularly detailed or helpful information. Trustworthy knowledge can【 C5】 _be gained from interpretations by authorities. 【 C6】 _ancient times, those w
12、ere such individuals as oracles, priests, philosophers, and kings. Today, they might be prominent business leaders, politicians, educators, and other distinguished people. Contemporary society seems to have an abundance of【 C7】 _people instantly ready to provide others with their interpretations and
13、 pronouncements about the influences of mass communication. The【 C8】 _is that these sources are not consistent, and one authority or critic often contradicts another of equal distinction. 【 C9】 _that reason, their interpretations have limitations. Another alternative is【 C10】 _. People in many socie
14、ties have long relied on their culturally established beliefs to guide them to truth. 【 C11】 _, if conventional or traditional wisdom said that the earth was flat, then it was clear to most people that【 C12】 _was the truth. In the case of mass communication, this source is not particularly useful, 【
15、 C13】 _the media constantly change and traditions have not had a chance to become firmly established over many generations. 【 C14】 _, common sense has always seemed a reliable guide to the truth. Common sense tells us that the media are very powerful and that people can be readily manipulated and co
16、ntrolled by advertisers, political campaign strategists, and others who shape media content. A serious shortcoming of this kind of truth is that many such efforts【 C15】 _because people are not that easy to persuade. They select what they want from the media and interpret it in their own unique ways.
17、 16 【 C1】 17 【 C2】 18 【 C3】 19 【 C4】 20 【 C5】 21 【 C6】 22 【 C7】 23 【 C8】 24 【 C9】 25 【 C10】 26 【 C11】 27 【 C12】 28 【 C13】 29 【 C14】 30 【 C15】 三、选词填空 30 Complete the text by choosing one sentence from the box below for each blank marked 1 to 5.(4 points each)A Bank in Every Pocket? The idea that mobi
18、le phones bring economic benefits is now widely accepted. In places with bad roads, few trains and parlous land lines, they substitute for travel, allow price data to be distributed more quickly and easily, enable traders to reach wider markets and generally ease the business of doing business. Leon
19、ard Waverman of the London Business School has estimated that an extra ten mobile phones per 100 people in a typical developing country leads to an extra half a percentage point of growth in GDP per person. To realize the economic benefits of mobile phones, governments in such countries need to do a
20、way with state monopolies, issue new licenses to allow rival operators to enter the market and slash taxes on handsets. 【 K1】 _. As mobile phones have spread, a new economic benefit is coming into view: using them forbanking, and so improving access to financial services, not just telecoms networks.
21、 【 K2】 _. These “branchless“ schemes typically allow customers to deposit and withdraw cash through a mobile operators airtime-resale agents, and send money to other people via text messages that can be exchanged for cash by visiting an agent.

Some schemes issue customers with debit cards linked to their m-banking accounts. All this has the potential to give the “unbanked“
