Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely hold with taking sides on political questions.But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues.A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍英国的地方报纸销量很好，受读者欢迎的原因。1The “Daily Mirror” impresses newspapermen more because Ait has a larger circulation than many other famous papers Bit is of better quality than many other papers Cit is sold nationally Dit is delivered everywhere in Britain 【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“but the” Daily Mirror and the Daily Express usually impress newspapermen even more because they both sell about four million copies every day(“Daily Mirror”和“Daily Express”之所以给人深刻的印象，关键是每天能出售4亿份)。答案B讲由于它比其他报纸的质量好，这在文章中并没有提到。C和D也不是原因。【答案】A2Local papers are preferred by readers who Aare interested in news Bare much interested in local events Cwant to obtain news as quickly as possible Dwork in churches and clubs 【解析】细节理解题。这一题问的是什么人购买地方报纸。第三段中提到“These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local eventsbirths, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sportbut the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve.”。地方报纸是为地方服务的，当地人对于当地的事物，如婚丧事宜、地方议政会议的情况及体育报道等，自然会更感兴趣。文章后面还提到“it does not get out of date as quickly as national news”(地方新闻不像全国性新闻那样容易过时)故答案选B。【答案】B3According to the text, businessmen would like to advertise in papers if Athe papers are well written Bthe papers can promote their products Cthey like to be in the news Dthe paper are popular and can attract readers 【解析】第四段提到“But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to attract local readers.”。答案A只提到 the papers are well written 但没有全面地讲到“同时新闻能够吸引读者” ，所以是不全面的。【答案】D4The last paragraph implies that Alocal papers never comment on politics Blocal papers can sometimes influence policy making Clocal papers are more concerned about their own communities Dlocal papers do not take sides on problems of national importance 【解析】选项A、C和D在文章中是明明白白地提到了。但此题问的是这段文字暗含着什么意思。文章中提到“A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action.”。故选B。【答案】BBI lived in Dallas nearly all my life with my parents and older sister.
