Unit 4 Making the news .阅读理解AOn Aug 29, 1988, the University of WisconsinMadison juniors Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson published the firstever issue of The Onion. The two founders claimed it was the “finest news source” in the US. 25 years later, it has become one of the most established media presences in the US. But dont expect accuracy and timeliness from it, for The Onion only publishes fake news or news satire(讽刺). Its aim is to make readers laugh and perhaps make them see things from a different angle.Will Tracy, The Onions editorinchief, says that their stories are presented in a sort of news voice which improves them to a certain level of importance that isnt actually understandable. It has an ability to elegantly locate a problem with an economy of words.Traditional media outlets are cautious when reporting on sensitive topics such as religion and race. Tracy says nothing is off limits for The Onion. In her words, that is “no matter how uncomfortable they may make some readers”. But the editors at The Onion do take a firm line, as Tracy explains, “What you have to be really careful about is what the target of the joke is. If the target of the joke is wrong, then it doesnt feel right and it also doesnt feel funny.” The Onion generated public _outrage_ when earlier this year, it tried to make fun of a 9yearold Oscarnominated(奥斯卡提名的) actress by using highly impolite language. It later apologized.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了洋葱这样一家新闻组织的创建背景与报道新闻的原则和宗旨。1What can we know about The Onion according to Paragraph 1?AIts news materials are all real and timely.BIt often makes fun of the public based on the wrong news.CIts aim is to make readers feel relaxed and see problems from different angles.DIts first article written by Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson was published on Aug 29, 1988.解析 C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，该报旨在使读者感到轻松并从不同角度看待问题，故选C项。2What is the meaning of the underlined word “outrage” in Paragraph 3?AAnger.
