　　.閱讀理解

　　NEWSPAPERS have certainly been around for a long time. Many New Zealand newspapers are now heading towards their 125th anniversary (周年紀念) of the first publication and some New Zealand papers are more than 140 years old.

　　However, some people think that newspapers are yesterday's medium (傳媒) and that new media, like television and even the Internet, will in the very near future cause newspapers to die. What is clear is that the growth of new media, and in particular the Internet, will cause newspapers to change themselves and change their product to meet customers' needs.

　　People read newspapers because of their unique (獨特的) strength. They have a large audience and yet a certain appeal (吸引力). They reach the majority of the population each day through covering national and international news and yet they offer interest to gardeners, cooks and even slaves to fashion.

　　Newspapers also remain strong because of people's continued love of reading. Reading is an active and involving (專注的) process, but people are able to read at their own speed and return to newspapers for reference purposes.

　　Newspapers will certainly not stop the Internet being a competitor (競爭者). But no newly-introduced news medium has ever killed an old one, and if best guesses are to be made then it is likely that this will be the case with this new medium as well.

　　1．What will cause the “dying” of the newspaper?

　　A．Its old age.

　　B．The growth of new media.

　　C．Unsuccessful business.

　　D．Internet millionaries.

　　答案：B　第二段第一句說明，有些人認為新的媒體將會使得報紙消亡。

　　2．“They have a large audience and yet a certain appeal.” Which answer best describes this statement?

　　A．Few people like them for the same reason.

　　B．Many people like them for a variety of reasons.

　　C．Many people like them for the same reason.

　　D．Few people like them for a variety of reasons.

　　答案：C　第三段開頭說明，報紙擁有大量讀者，很多喜歡讀報都是因為報紙獨特的魅力(unique strength)。

　　3．Which of the following does not refer to newspapers?

　　A．Useful for reference.

　　B．Changing to meet customer's needs.

　　C．Wide-reaching every day.

　　D．A passive way of getting information.

　　答案：D　第四段最后說明A項正確；第二段最后說明B項正確；第三段最后說明C項正確；D項文中沒有說明，并且passive意為“消極的；被動的”，不符合報紙的特點。

　　4．Which title would not be suitable for this article?

　　A．The death of newspapers.

　　B．People love to read.

　　C．Current media developments.

　　D．Old media and new media.

　　答案：A　第四段講到了人們喜歡閱讀；第二段講到了現代傳媒的發展；第二段和第五段講到了新舊傳媒。從文章結尾看出，作者認為報紙是不會消亡的，所以A項不符合文意。

　　5．Which of the following is CORRECT?

　　A．Newspapers will be killed by the Internet soon.

　　B．The Internet will be killed by newspapers.

　　C．Newspapers and the Internet will co-exist.

　　D．Newspapers and the Internet will both disappear.

　　答案：C　從文章最后一段看出，作者認為報紙將會和新的傳媒共存。
