问题     Sometime in next century, the familiar early-morning newspaper on the front door will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis video images of news events.
    Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism (新闻界). Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of jounalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
    Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry. [br] Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because ______.
选项 A、they don’t know how to use computers
B、they think computer newspapers take too much time to read
C、they think the new technology is bad
D、they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers
答案 D
解析 文章第二段第三句说“由于这是一个巨大的文化转变，因此，也许只有在现今这一代记者和发行者完全消失之后，下一代人才能意识到报业不再是报纸业”。也就是说，如今的journalists很难接受计算机报这一事实，因为他们一直都在为传统报业工作。因此D为本题。同时，本题也可用排除法，A、B、C的内容文中都未提到，因此只有选D。
