goal of providing a national newspapers in the us market, where generally only a single local newspaper was available. the paper has the widest circulation(发行量)of any newspaper in the us, averaging over 2.5 million copies every weekday. it was the first color newspaper in the us.the newspaper was also among the first newspapers to use satellites to send the final edition of the newspaper to different locations across the country for printing and final distribution in those regional markets. this allowed the paper to include the most recent news and sports scores in each edition.each edition of the newspaper consists of four sections: news, money, sports and life. on fridays, two life sections are included: the regular life for movies subtitled weekend, which features television, films and trends, and a travel supplement called destinations & diversions. each section is denoted(表示) by a certain color to different sections, which is seen in a box the topleftcorner of the first page, with news being blue(section a), money with green(section b), red for sports(section c) and purple for life(section d)usa today prints each complete story on the front page of the respective(各自的) section with exception to the cover story. the cover story is a longer story that requires a jump (readers must turn to another page in the paper to complete the story, usually the very next page, page 2 of that section) starting in february, 2008, the newspaper added a magazine supplement(增刊)called “open air”， appearing several times a year.41why did alten “al，” neuharth found usa today in 1982?a. to advertise his products.b. to voice peoples views.c. to provide a national newspaper to americans.d. to compete with other newspapers.42. from the first paragraph we can learn that_.a. usa today is not published on weekendb. usa today is the first color newspaper in the worldc. usa today is an international newspaperd. usa today developed from an american local newspaper43. why can usa today include the most recent news to the public?a. because its reporters work every corner of the world.b. because it has four sections and a supplement.c. because it has the widest circulation in the us.d. because it uses satellites to send its final editions.44. which of the following about usa today is not mentioned in the text?a. its history. b. its influences.c. its circulation. d. its sections.cno country in the world has more daily newspapers than the usa. there are almost 2, 000 of them, as compared with 180 in japan, 164 in argentina and 111 in britain. the quality of some american papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. famous dailies like the washington post or the new york times have a powerful influence all over the country. however, they are not national newspapers in the sense that the times is in britain or le monde is in france, since each american city has its own daily newspaper. the best of these presents detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.like the press in most other countries, american newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(闲谈), to the “serious”， which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. but with few exceptions, american newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.just as american newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. a few newspapers support extremist (极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle of the road americans who are moderate(中立的). many of these papers print colunms by wellknown journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.as in other countries, american newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the american press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the watergate affair(水门事件). the newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the vietnam war.45there are fewer national newspapers in_.a. britain than in the usa b. france than in britainc. the usa than in britain or franced. france than in the usa or britain46most american newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because_.a. they have to keep up a good relation with themb. they have to compete with televisionc. they have to write about crime and gossipd. they have to give factual news in an interesting way47many american newspapers attract readers of different political preference by_.asupporting extremist groups from time to timeb. inviting middleoftheroad americans to write articles for themc. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsd. printing articles representing different political viewpoints48the passage is mainly about_.a. the characteristics of american newspapersb. the development of american newspapersc. the functions of american newspapersd. the advantages and disadvantages of american newspapersdif there is one thing i am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. it is not that newspapers are a necessity. even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. many buy a paper only on saturday or sunday. but for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.the nature of what is news may change. what basically makes news is what affects our livesthe big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. i think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetie(基因) engineering. in the future, i think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from fleet street and printed out in our own home. in fact, i am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. you will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, etc.i think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). they actually feed_off_each other. some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. what is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound in the air. and as for the internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.49what is the best title for the text?a. the best way to get news b. the changes of mediac. make your own newspaperd. the future of newspapers50what will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?a. sports and international news.b. a menu of important news.c. the most important news.d. what you are interested in.51from the text, we can infer that_.a. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediab. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediac. television will take the place of newspapersd. some media will die out52the underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means_.a. depend on b. compete withc. fight with d. kill ofebefore sending us a manuscript (稿件), look through recent issues (刊物) of the post to get an idea of the range and style of articles we publish. you will discover that our focus has broadened to include wellresearched, timely and inormative articles on finance, home improvement, travel, humor, and many other fields.the posts goal is to remain unique, with content that provides additional understanding on the everevolving american seene.in addition to featurelength (专题长度的) articles, the post buys
