No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2, 000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or The New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country.
However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselvesto state or city news.
Like the
press
in most other countries, American newspapers range from the " sensational" , which feature crime , sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.
Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily news papers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War. [br] Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because ______.
选项
A、they have to keep up a good relation with them
B、they have to compete with television
C、they have to write about crime, sex and rumor
D、they have to give factual news in an interesting way
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,除少数例外,美国的报纸在提供信息的同时也尽量娱乐大众,因为它们不得不与电视竞争,选项B(它们不得不与电视竞争)符合题意。选项A(它们需要与读者保持良好的关系)、选项C(它们要报道犯罪、性与流言)和选项D(它们要用有趣的方式来报道事实新闻)均与原文内容不符,故本题选B。
