Question

4．In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．
When the war ended in 1783there were forty-three newspapers in print．The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation．Many more newspapers were started，representing all kinds of political opinions，and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs．Growth continued in every state．By 1814there were 346newspapers．
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker．It had to be paid in full and in advance．This cheap，interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading，which is now taken for granted．
32．The main force to affect public opinion in America for America's independence wasC．
A．different kinds of newspapersB．the appearance of more papers
C．the articles in colonial newspapersD．the centers of American printing
33．Why did the author say Boston News-Letter was a successful newspaper？A．
A．Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government．
B．Because it was immediately accepted by the American people．
C．Because it published a large number of newspapers．
D．Because never before was one newspaper published．
34．Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published？C．
A．Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time．
B．Because only the British Library had the right to publish it．
C．Because it was published without the permission of the government．
D．Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time．
35．What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783？C．
A．They were banned just as before．
B．It was hard to say how they developed．
C．It played a more important part in daily life．
