The New York Times has become the biggest publisher yet to set out plans for a paywall around its digital offering,【C1】______the accepted practice that internet users will not pay for news.
Struggling with an evaporation of advertising and a downward drift in street corner sales, The New York Times intends to introduce a "metered" model at the beginning of 2011. Readers will be required to pay when they have【C2】______a set number of its online articles per month.
The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper on the charging side of an【C3】______wide chasm(鸿沟)in the media industry. But others, including the Guardian, have said they will not【C4】______internet readers.
The New York Times’s publisher, Arthur Sulzberger,【C5】______that the move is a gamble. Boasting a print【C6】______of 995,000 on weekdays and 1.4 million on Sundays, The New York Times is the third bestselling American newspaper, behind the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. While most US papers focus on a single city, The New York Times is among the few that can claim【C7】______scope—as well as 16 bureaus in the New York area, it has 11 offices around the US and maintains 26 bureaus elsewhere in the world.
But like many in the publishing industry, the paper is in the grip of a【C8】______financial crisis. Its parent company, the New York Times Company, has 15 papers, but【C9】______a loss of $70 million in the nine months to September and recently accepted a $250 million【C10】______from a Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim, to strengthen its balance sheet.
A)national B)interactively C)circulation D)loan
E)crude F)exceeded G)charge H)ascend
I)abandoning J)suffered K)serious L)deducting
M)increasingly N)evaluation O)acknowledged [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
I
解析
空格所在句主谓宾结构完整,故需填入及物动词的分词形式,作伴随状语。空格前说《纽约时报》着手制定对电子新闻产品收费的计划,空格后说现行的习惯做法(the accepted practice)是互联网为用户提供免费新闻,可见它要“放弃”这种习惯做法,abandoning“放弃”符合句意。
