【解析】

【1】根據(jù)句意可知選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

【2】根據(jù)語意線索(報(bào)紙有一個(gè)基本目的就是以最快速度從新聞來源處得到新聞)可知選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。

【3】根據(jù)語意線索確定C項(xiàng)(know)為正確答案。

【4】other“其他的”，沒有限定范圍，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【5】根據(jù)上下文可知該句句意有轉(zhuǎn)折，故表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的however為正確答案。and表示并列關(guān)系；therefore表示因果關(guān)系，so表示結(jié)果。

【6】根據(jù)語境可知選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。

【7】此題可用排除法。根據(jù)語意線索(如今印刷出來的報(bào)紙和人們閱讀的報(bào)紙比以往任何時(shí)候都多)可將A、B和D排除。

【8】此處使用過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語。

【9】根據(jù)句意可知此空應(yīng)使用意為“通過”的介詞。故選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。

【10】根據(jù)下文可推斷此句句意為”大多數(shù)報(bào)紙依靠廣告維持它們的生存”，故選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。

【11】根據(jù)上下句句意可以推斷，報(bào)紙不足通過出售其本身所得來維持其生存，而是通過刊登廣告的收入來維持其生存，并且對(duì)于大多數(shù)的報(bào)紙來說主要的經(jīng)費(fèi)來源是商業(yè)廣告，而不是出售報(bào)紙。因此可以猜測(cè)出報(bào)紙的售價(jià)不足以支付其生產(chǎn)成本，因此選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。其他三項(xiàng)意義不符。

【12】本題的答案只能從A、B兩項(xiàng)之間產(chǎn)生。origin意為“起源，根源”不合適。故選項(xiàng)A為正確答案。

【13】根據(jù)此句句意“這(報(bào)紙對(duì)廣告商的價(jià)值)是以報(bào)紙的發(fā)行量來衡量的”可推斷此空應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式，本文主要時(shí)態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

【14】選項(xiàng)B作后置定語。

【15】根據(jù)詞匯線索和語意線索可知，此處需要使用介詞about，表示“關(guān)于”。
