The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action", such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading. "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding on television. The real healing, of course will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part. of that process.
选项
A、Part of the events occurring on the university campus at Berkeley were given national media coverage.
B、The 1989 San Francisco earthquake hasn’t been covered by the video programme.
C、Electronic media can limit one’s contact with the world.
D、Those living far away from a certain event can not have perception of realities.
答案
A
解析
由题干的true according to Para.1定位到原文第一段。细节题。由该段第三句Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV可知,发生在加州伯克利大学的某些事件在全国性媒体上报道了。由此可知;A)为正确选项。[避错]第二段有“这些媒体拓宽了人们的视野和接触范围;一句,C)与之相悖。D)与第二段最后一句相悖。文中第二段中有这样一句话:这给观众以火灾难的印象,B)与之相悖,故均排除。
