试题答案
答案：A;A;A;D;C;B;A;D;C;D;C;B;B;C;A;D;C;C;B;D
解析：(1)just在此为副词，意为“刚刚”，作状语。句意为“一个事件刚刚发生，街上就有报纸报道详情了”。说明报纸对新闻的反应之快。 (2)to give和giving都合乎语法，但giving强调的是正在发生的动作，而此处重点表达的是“反应快”，不是正在做什么。on the streets是地点状语，不是are的表语。 (3)不论发生什么事，记者们都到现场收集消息。“收集”用gather。 (4)后面的不定式短语表示目的。 (5)从新闻发生的地方到想知道新闻的人，这个期间越快越好，所以选C项。 (6)other意为“其他的”，接名词复数。此句意为“无线电、电报、电视及其他发明，成为报纸的竞争对手”。another很多东西中的另外一个，one another互相，the other两者中的另一个。 (7)根据句中的merely及其后所述内容，应选however，表转折。 (8)使用更新、更快的通讯工具，目的是提高速度。 (9)报纸是印出来的，先印后看（读）。 (10)报纸不断地为读者提供新闻信息，keep sb. informed of“让某人随时得到消息”。be aware of“认识到某事物”，be familiar with“对……熟悉”，be fond of“喜好某事物”。 (11)关于politics之类的严肃话题，只能选educate。 (12)句意为“报纸通过广告影响读者在经济生活中的选择”。“通过……手段”可以用through，如：You can only achieve success through hard work.只有努力工作你才能成功。 (13)大多数报纸依靠广告收入来维持生存，这应该是人人皆知的常识。 (14)报纸的售价之低，连抵付成本的一小部分都不够。符合上下文关于广告收入的说法。 (15)收入来源应该用source，因为source指“河流，泉水的发源地”，常指抽象事物的根源或来源以及资料、信息的出处或来源。origin“起源，起因”，指事物后来发展变化的最初起点，或指人的出身和血统。(16)success in为固定短语。句意为“广告业务的成功，取决于报纸在客户（要打广告的人）心中的价值”。 (17)根据上下文，此处应该用一般现在时的被动语态，句意为“报纸在客户心中的价值，是靠发行量衡量的”。 (18)句意为“发行量的大小，很大程度上取决于发行部门的工作及报纸所提供的服务功能和娱乐功能”。 (19)同上句所析，服务和娱乐功能是报纸提供的，不是简单的印刷(print)，销售(sell)或被看到(found)。 (20)前面的about的宾语都是地点名词，而且是依次扩大，从社区到整个世界。这样，最后一个“甚至”也应该是个地点。而且是比“world”还大的地点，那么，就只有space了。 |
