Day 22 全 文 解 析

【2011英语二年Text2】

(1/5)Whatever happened to the death of newspapers? A year ago the end seemed near. The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the internet. Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom. America’s Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers. Should they become charitable corporations? Should the state subsidize them? It will hold another meeting soon. But the discussions now seem out of date. (Translation)

-报业究竟是否会走向衰落?一年前,报业衰落似乎就在眼前。这场衰退危机威胁到广告的生存,并预示着将失 去那些尚未将注意力转移到互联网的读者们。诸如《旧金山纪事》这样的报纸都在记录着自己的厄运。美国联邦贸 易委员会就如何挽救报业展开了一系列的讨论:报社应该转变为慈善机构?国家是否应补贴报社?近期该委员会还 将召开一次会议。但是现在这些讨论似乎已经不合时宜了。

(2/5)In much of the world there is little sign of crisis. German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession. Even American newspapers, which inhabit the most troubled comer of the global industry, have not only survived but often returned to profit. Not the 20% profit margins that were routine a few years ago, but profit all the same.

– 放眼全球报业,危机迹象并不明显。德国和巴西的报业已从衰退中走了出来。就连处于全球工业危机最严重地区的美国,不仅生存了下来,而且还恢复了盈利。尽管利润空间还不到前几年正常盈利的 20%,但毕竟也是盈利。

(3/5)It has not been much fun. Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard. The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007. Readers are paying more for slimmer products. Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs. Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and, sadly for many journalists, they can be pushed further.

-情况一直以来并非很乐观。多家报社通过裁减记者来渡过难关。据美国新闻编辑协会统计,自 2007 年以来全美新闻编辑职位缩减了13500个。报纸内容减少,售价却在上调。一些报社甚至下决心取消了偏远地区的报纸配送业务。事实证明这些孤注一掷的措施是正确的,然而对于许多记者来说这并不是好消息,他们可能要面临进一步的 裁员。

(4/5)Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses, with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 2008, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD). In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable.

-随着广告收益和发行收益的比例日趋合理,报业正逐步实现收支平衡。长期以来,美国报业过度依赖广告收入,这是不正常的。根据经济合作与发展组织的数据,美国报业的广告收入占总收入的87%。而在日本,这个比例只有 35%。因此日本报业更加稳定是不足为奇的。

(5/5)The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody, but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers have gone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off. Newspapers are less complete as a result. But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.-这场席卷报业的旋风,无人幸免。但是受创最大的还是报社中最不具特色的部门。汽车和电影评论员黯然离开,科学和普通商业新闻记者也未能幸免,驻外机构也被无情地撤销。结果,报纸内容不像以前那么完整了。但是完整性已不再是报业的优势了。

文 章 结 构 简 析

第一段问题式开篇方式,引出话题,报纸的衰落的现状;

第二段用其它国家的例子,表明情况似乎有所缓和;

第三段表明情况不是看起来那么乐观,然后美国报业采取的一些措施;

第四段说明报业收入需要比例合理;

最后一段说明报纸业的危机对报纸本身的产生的影响后果。

本文建议标题:American Newspaper

选 择 题 详 解

26. By saying \”Newspapers like…their own doom\”(Line 3, Para. 1), the author indicates that newspapers ____.

[A] neglected the sign of crisis [B] failed to get state subsidies

[C] were not charitable corporations[D] were in a desperate situation

26.作者说:“Newspapers like…their own doom”是为了表明报纸

[A] 忽略了危机的信号

[B] 没能得到国家的补贴

[C] 不是慈善性机构

[D] 处于危急的境地

【答案】D

【考点】词义句意题

【解析】作者用这句话举例来说明上文所提出的现象,因此答案应该回到上句进行寻 找,“A year ago the end seemed near.”(一年前,报业岌岌可危)一句提到了报业的状况。因此,题干所问句子实际是用比喻说法(为自己的命运编年记事)表明包括《旧金山纪事》在内的报纸身处绝境,命运堪忧,故D项符合 题意,为正确答案。 A项在原文并未提及,属于无中生有;B 项中的“国家补贴”在首段倒数第三句有所涉及,但这只是美国联邦贸易委员会探讨拯救报业的一项措施,内容是“国家要不要资助报业”,而非是“报业没能得到国家资助”,故是干扰项; C 项源自首段倒数第四句,错误与B项完全相同,也只是联邦贸易委员会现探讨的一项措施,内容是“报业要不要 成为慈善机构”,而非“报业不是慈善机构”。

27. Some newspapers refused delivery to distant suburbs probably because____.

[A] readers threatened to pay less

[B] newspapers wanted to reduce costs

[C] journalists reported little about these areas

[D] subscribers complained about slimmer products

27.一些报纸拒绝向远郊用户投递,很可能是因为

[A] 读者会威胁要少付钱

[B] 报社想要削减成本

[C] 记者很少报道这些区域

[D] 订阅者们投诉报纸内容缩水

【答案】B

【考点】判断推断题

【解析】由于题目问的是报社这样做的原因,题目并未直接给出,需要通过上下文进行推测。第四句说“报纸内容缩水,价格提高”,由此可见,前面提到的“拒绝投递到郊区”和“报纸内容缩水”一样,都是报社采取的措施中的一种,后者显然是想减少成本,考虑到这些措施的共同目的,“拒绝投递到郊区”应该也是处于对成本的考虑,故答案选B。 A项与原文内容相反,原文是“报纸内容缩水,但读者却要付费更多”,故不正确;C项内容文中并未涉及,属于无中生有;D项也是无中生有,文中并未提及订阅者是否有投诉行为。

28. Compared with their American counterparts, Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they ___.

[A] have more sources of revenue

[B] have more balanced newsrooms

[C] are less dependent on advertising

[D] are less affected by readership

28.和美国同行相比,日本报业更为稳定,其原因是

[A] 有更多的收入来源

[B] 有更平衡的编辑部

[C] 对广告的依赖较小

[D] 所受读者群的影响较小

【答案】C

【考点】判断推断题

【解析】本段第二句提到“美国报业的畸形发展是因为它过多地依赖广告收益”,第三句以 87%的具体数据来补充说明,第四句提到日本的数据仅为35%。通过两国的数据比较可以看出日本报业对广告的依赖度显然比美国小的多,由此带来的结果是题干提出的结果“难怪,日本报业更稳定”。反过来理解,日本报业更稳定的原因就是“对广告的依赖小”,因此C项正确。就日本的报业状况而言,原文的信息仅提到其广告收入的比例,及由此带来的稳定性,选项 A、B、D 的内容并未提及,属于无中生有。

29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?

[A] Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.

[B] Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.

[C] Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.

[D] Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.

29.从最后一段可以推断出当前报业的什么情况?

[A] 特色性是报纸的一个本质特征

[B]完整性应该对报纸的衰败负责

[C] 驻外机构在报纸行业中起着关键性作用

[D]读者们对汽车和电影方面的评论失去了兴趣

【答案】A

【考点】判断推理题

【解析】题干所问是最后一整段的信息,因此这里采用判断题的做法来做,即把四个选项与文中信息进行比对。根据最后一段第一句话中“but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive”可知,“最受重创的是报社中最不具特色的部门”,所以与众不同对报纸来说是至关重要的,故A项正确。文章第五句提出“Newspapers are less complete as a result.”,由此可知,报纸完整性的丧失是报业危机带来的结果,而非报业危机的原因,故B项不对;根据第四句“Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.”可知,当前的报纸行业中,驻外机构已被裁减,因此C项可以排除;文中第二句“Car and film reviewers have gone.”确实提到汽车和电影评论栏目已经消失,但并未提及读者们对这两个栏目的反应,因此D项不对,属于推断过度。

30.The most appropriate title for this text would be ____.

[A] American Newspapers: Struggling for Survival

[B] American Newspapers: Gone with the wind

[C] American Newspapers: A Thriving Business

[D] American Newspapers: A Hopeless Story

30.这篇文章最恰当的标题或许是

[A] 美国报业:为生存而努力

[B] 美国报业:随风逝去

[C] 美国报业:一个生机勃勃的行业

[D] 美国报业:一个令人绝望的故事

【答案】A

【考点】观点态度题

【解析】这道题需要把握全文的信息,重点关注文章首尾段落信息。纵观全文,首段提出“人们曾经对报纸消亡的担忧”;第二段讲“美国报业的复苏”;第三段讲“报业采取的措施”;第四段讲“报业收入日趋平衡”;第五段讲“报业的变化并非坏事”,所以本文主要探讨的是在经历了危机之后,报业的复苏和平衡,因此答案A是正确的。根据文章首段尾句“But the discussions now seem out of date.”可知,首段前面提到的关于报业身处绝境岌岌可危等的讨论都是不合时宜的了,因此本文的主题是积极的,而非“报业的消亡”,故B、D可以排除;根据第三段首句“It has not been much fun”可知,C项过于乐观,言过其实,也不正确。
