Question

【題目】Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country，according to a survey.

Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet，while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center's survey on the ways of getting news said. Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online，but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.

“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However，they are older.” the survey said.

Pew found that the largest group of news consumers — 46 percent of those surveyed — watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest，with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.

The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group，at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.

The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.

【4】C

【解析】本文是一篇關(guān)于人們獲取新聞方式，上網(wǎng)獲取新聞及通過電視獲取新聞的調(diào)查。該調(diào)查顯示盡管互聯(lián)網(wǎng)發(fā)展迅速，電視仍然是人們最重要的消息來源。

【1】D

推理判斷題。本文是關(guān)于人們獲取新聞方式的調(diào)查，根據(jù)最后一段“The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.”可知有三千多個成人受到電話調(diào)查。此類調(diào)查結(jié)果有可能出現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上，故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】A

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“…younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet…”可知，年輕人喜歡從網(wǎng)上獲取新聞信息，故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】B

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However，they are older.”可知，網(wǎng)絡(luò)新聞消費(fèi)者與整合者一樣，有著高等學(xué)歷，年齡卻較大，文章并未提到他們絕大部分都是老人，故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】C

主旨?xì)w納題。本文是一項(xiàng)關(guān)于上網(wǎng)獲取新聞及通過電視獲取新聞的人數(shù)比例的調(diào)查。該調(diào)查顯示盡管互聯(lián)網(wǎng)發(fā)展迅速，電視仍然是人們最重要的消息來源，故選C項(xiàng)。
