21、ecognized. 阅读理解，根据短文内容选择最佳答案AThe main purpose of a newspaper is to report news. At one time this was the only way people could find what was happening elsewhere. In Britain during the nineteenth century The Thunderer, as The Times is today, was called the only way of discovering the news. There were
22、 no telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers or the Internet. In fact in the nineteenth century the career of a journalist was a very important one. That was why the newspaper was called The Thunderer because it used to fight for issues that it felt were important. It put pressure on the le
23、aders of the government by “thundering” at them to change laws into ones that were considered to be a benefit to ordinary people.Since the arrival of electricity all this has changed. There are now telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers and the Internet from which people can get all or an
24、y news they are interested in. So it is no wonder that the percentage of people reading newspapers has fallen in Britain from 59% in 1992 to 45% in 2007. This is very unfotunate because newspapers can fulfil a special role. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and an
25、alysis, which television and radio newscasts rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event happened, but also help readers understand what led up to the event and how it will affect the world around them.But is the situation all gloom(忧愁)and despair? What about the Internet? Many ne
26、wspapers are seeing the Internet as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. They have published their newspapers online and sometimes offered their readers the news free. In return they build up reader loyalty(忠诚)and perhaps persuade some to buy the newspaper sometimes. But is this good for print
27、ed newspapers? Will they finally be replaced entirely by Internet newspapers? No one can say what will happen in the future. But certainly the most popular printed newspapers in Britain are also those that are most widely read on the Internet. So perhaps the future for journalists is not as serious
28、as it might appear. Whether in print or on the Internet their words are being read and their opinions appreciated. So whatever the medium it seems the newspaper is here to stay.1. Which of the following can provide readers with details of the events covered? A. Television newscasts.B. Telephones.C.
29、Radio programmes.D. Newspapers.2. Whats the main reason why fewer people read printed newspapers today than before in Britain? A. People dont enjoy reading newspapers any more.B.

34、Internet.BAs a journalist, a writer aims to collect all of the facts about an event or incident and present them as truthfully and factually as possible. But sometimes leading members of the government or other high-ranking officials dont want the truth to be told. Journalism can be a risky and some
35、times even dangerous profession. Sometimes journalists risk their lives in order to report an important story. At other times, they risk going to jail rather than reveal (透露) one of their sources of information.Unfortunately, many journalists are killed every year just for doing their jobs. Over thi
36、rty reporters were killed last year alone. These people asked questions, researched records and reported on the truths they found. The following stories are examples of the dangers journalists face around the world.In the country of Haiti, a radio talk show host was murdered after allowing members o
37、f a political opposition party to express their ideas on his radio show. He was killed by a mob of people holding machetes(大砍刀).The editor of a weekly newspaper in Mexico was shot in the head shortly after he reported a story that revealed something corrupt about the federal government.

38、ted that local politicians were using drug trafficking money to fund their elections.In the Ukraine, a television show host was attacked and beaten with baseball bats by people who didnt like the content of his TV show.

39、her people might do everything possible to avoid exposing government corruption. But good journalists are driven to make the community more aware of the truth and to fight for freedom.Sometimes, these courageous journalists are successful in bringing about social changes.
