问答题Passage 6  ● Read the text below about some of America’s newspapers, which are facing extinction, unless they evolve.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap 9-14, mark one letter(A-H) on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning (0).On the brink  The New York Times was once the best example of all that was great about American newspapers. The Grey Lady’s circulation is tumbling down another 3.9% according to the latest data from America’s Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC). (9)______.  Pick almost any American newspaper company and you can tell a similar story. The ABC reported that for the 530 biggest daily newspapers, average circulation in the past six months was 3.6% lower than in the same period a year earlier. As for Sunday papers, it was 4.6% lower.  Ad revenues are plunging across the board: by 22.3% at Media General, for example. In 2007 total newspaper revenues fell to $42.2 billion. (10)______.  Much of this decline is being blamed on the rise of the Internet, which offers free, round-the-clock coverage. What’s more, Internet has provided a new, better home for classified advertising, which was once the source of most newspapers’ revenue. (11)______. The number one cause is the troublesome housing market, which contributes a large slice of classified advertising.  Industry experts such as Lucas Rich Fine of Kent State University do not think that the Times is responding forcefully enough. (12)______. Mr. Fine also points out that although all newspapers are being affected by the Internet, their ability to respond will probably depend on whether their audiences are national, metropolitan or local. The first category can afford to invest in distinctive international or business coverage, while the last can prosper by becoming ‘more intensely local’. But he fears that the big metropolitan newspapers may find themselves trapped in the middle.  Not all is lost, however. (13)______. For instance, a number of newspapers are becoming ‘information and connection utilities’, through such offerings as local internet forums. The Pocono Record has renamed reporters ‘content managers’, since they oversee all the coverage of their beat, both in print and online, and get a bonus for higher web traffic.  The hero for industry optimists is Brian Tierney, a former public-relations executive. Last year, he led a group of investors that borrowed heavily to buy Philadelphia’s two main dailies. (14)______. He is also finding new ways to drum up advertising, such as introducing a business column sponsored by a local bank.  A. Certainly, it was not something to be sniffed at, but much less than the peak of $48.7 billion in 2000.  B. However, some of the fall in revenues is actually due to the economic slowdown in America.  C. Its advertising revenues are down, too, 12.5% lower in March than a year earlier.  D. He has since revived them with a vigorous marketing drive.  E. Nevertheless, as a major newspaper, it still boasts a well-educated readership.  F. Plenty of innovation is taking place, particularly at local papers.  G. ‘Now is the time to beef up its business section’ he says.  H. Now it symbolizes the difficult situation the whole industry is faced with.

Only in the past year has Washington begun rebuilding links by allowing aid from international organizations and lifting the trade embargo.  But that's not enough (8)______.. The Key step is to grant most-favored-nation status to Vietnam, letting Vietnamese goods enter the U.S. at favorable tariff rates (9)______.. Why MFN for Vietnam? (10)______.. Strained trade relations between the two countries make it less likely that American companies will get their share of these contracts. (11)______.. In both the North and South, Americans are highly regarded, and American companies are welcomed as a counter-balance to Japanese, Chinese, and European investment.  Granting MFN to Vietnam is sure to be controversial (12)______.. But it should be taken seriously.  A. The U.S. government may not like a heated dispute on this neglectable issue.  B. The U.S. response to defeat was to block international did and forbid American companies to do business there.  C. Moreover, despite the conflicts of the past, Vietnam could be a tremendous ally for the U.S.  D. It’s time now to move toward establishing normal ties with Vietnam whose economy is growing 8% a year.  E. To start with,Vietnam will sign contracts involving billions on telecommunications,power plants,and airliners.  F. Given the trouble of Clinton Administration’s foreign policy,the issue will be held in suspension.  G. That would give Vietnam equal footing with most other countries,including Russia and—at least for now—China.

Invariably this involves role-play based on studies of long-ago triumphs and disasters from a relevant industry or organization. The problem is, any experience of decision-making gained from role-play has one obvious shortcoming: it is not real life.  To tackle this dilemma, some of the best-known companies have set up the International Management Development Consortium, which provides a range of executive development programmes for staff members. (9)______. What this means is that they involve “action learning” through real-life situations, and participants work as problem-solving consultants on projects within companies engaged in day-to-day business.  (10)______. Within this they also take training and refresher courses in traditional business skills such as finance, marketing, staff management and strategic planning. These disciplines are taught by a mix of academics, business people and senior managers from Consortium companies who also monitor the consultancy work.  (11)______. Generally, those who choose to attend the course come from various countries, reflecting the multi-national nature of companies within the Consortium. (12)______. As a result of this cross-cultural exchange, the people on the course learn a great deal from each other—and often keep in contact on a professional level long after the end of their course.  The Consortium says language difficulties are not a problem when consultancies are undertaken for foreign companies on site.
