52、little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.

53、:选C推理判断题。根据第二段首句“The trend, then, was toward the penny paper a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.”以及第三段中的“However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.”可知,“便士报”指的是公众可广泛购得的报纸,“便士报”有更多的读者,而正是街头销售使其变得随处可见。故选C。30Who were the ne

56、么考有何价值导向解读一、发展思维品质文中第31题主要考查学生的逻辑性思维。根据第三段首句和第四段内容尤其是第一句和最后一句可知,由于早期大多数报纸缺乏对大众的吸引力,后来出现了“便士报”,但“便士报”的发展不是一朝一夕的,而是经历了一个艰难的过程,故由此逻辑关系可推知,“便士报”的诞生经历了一个艰难的过程。所以考生要注重逻辑性思维,学会理清文章的脉络。二、聚焦核心价值本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了19世纪30年代美国报纸大众化的发展过程。报纸是大众传播的重要载体,具有反映和引导社会舆论的功能,报纸的发展推动了社会经济的发展,报纸业的飞跃推动了新闻媒体的产业化,选文通过讲述报纸大众化的发展过程旨在

60、动词都是meant。在第二个分句中that引导定语从句,修饰先行词newspapers。句意翻译这意味着任何便宜的报纸;也许更重要的是,这意味着可以在街上买到一份报纸。2Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition.句式解构本句是一个主从复合句。主句的主语是Publishers,谓语动词是had。其中people who were owners of successful papers在句中作同位语,解释
61、说明Publishers;who引导定语从句,修饰名词people。句意翻译已经进入商业领域的出版商,或者说那些拥有成功报纸的人,几乎不想改变这个传统。.主题语境写作由于科技的发展,我们只是通过网络来获取新闻,很少去看报纸。一天你买了一份报纸,再次体会到通过报纸读新闻的乐趣。请你就此情景写一篇小短文。注意:1.词数100左右;2可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考范文:With the development of science and technology, mostly we get news through the Internet and seldom read newspapers
