Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun, pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news, thus giving advertisers【C1】______to a wider audience. The penny press, followed by radio and television, turned news from a two-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a 【C2】______small number of firms controlling the media.
Now, the news industry is【C3】______to something closer to the coffee house. The Internet is making news more participatory, social and diverse, reviving the【C4】______characteristics of the era before the mass media are【C5】______. Newspaper circulations lose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009.
Over the past decade, throughout the Western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in【C6】______ different ways. Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and【C7】______news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Social-networking sites help people find, discuss and share news with their friends.
And it is not just readers who are【C8】______the media elite. Technology firms including Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks; many countries now make raw data available through "open government" initiatives. The Internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to【C9】______in a very short space of time. And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides a(n)【C10】______way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets.
A. considerably B. access C. anonymous D. height
E. returning F. advantage G. relatively H. challenging
I. chatty J. flourishing K. discursive L. prominence
M. distributing N. profoundly O. fighting [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
H
解析
challenging,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词进行式。同时根据上文可知现在的许多新闻由个人编辑传播,下文又引出一些企业与传统媒体行业的竞争,因此此处指个人传播与媒体的竞争状态,符合文意的选项为“challenging,fighting”,但前者强调竞争性,后者更侧重对抗性,故challenging更适合。
