问题     Who won the World Cup 1998 football game? What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like me new play?【C1】______an event takes place, newspapers are on the streets【C2】______the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reporters are on the spot to【C3】______the news.
    Newspapers have one basic【C4】______, to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to【C5】______it. Radio, telegraph, television, and【C6】______inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication.【C7】______, this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly make use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the【C8】______and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are【C9】______and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields. Besides keeping readers【C10】______of the latest news, today’s newspapers educate and influence readers about politics and other important and【C11】______matters.
    Newspapers influence readers’ economic choices【C12】______advertising. Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very【C13】______.
    Newspapers are sold at a price that【C14】______even a small fraction of the cost of production. The main【C15】______of income for most newspapers is commercial advertising.

    Circulation depends【C18】______on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment【C19】______in a newspaper’s pages.

【C4】
选项 A、reason
B、cause
C、problem
D、purpose
答案D
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。本句空格后面部分是对空格内容的解释，其意为“尽快获取信息”。purpose“目的，意图”，如：What is your purpose in doing that?你做那件事的意图是什么?报纸的一个基本目的是“尽快获取信息”，这合乎情理，与题意相符，为正确答案。cause和reason都表原因，cause是必然导致结果发生的动因或条件，是“根据，理由”，如：The doctor’s report gave no cause for alarm．从医生的报告看，没有惊慌的理由。reason是指解释某种效果的发生或性质的措辞，如：No one inquired about her reason for leaving．没人询问她离开的理由。problem“问题”，如：Have you ever read in this newspaper any reports about urban problems such as traffic congestion and smog?你在这份报纸上读到过诸如交通拥挤和烟雾弥漫的城市问题的报道吗?可见．无论problem，cause还是reason都难以与“尽快获取信息”划上等号，因此，不切题意。
