参考解析
解析：这篇文章讲的是美国报业的重大变革。报纸的对象都是严肃的读者，报纸上没有插图，文章也都是关于政治和商业问题的。根据这样的情况，这里填no比较合适。
表示所属关系，要用of。其后的“Randolph Hearst of The New York Journal.”也提醒我们用of。
在英语中，表示年、月的词前面要用介词in，例如in 1999,in May。表示具体日期的词的前面要用介词on，如on February 20, 1998。
根据上下文，这里需要一个形容词。比较C和D, excited是过去分词，有形容人的，沙清之意，而exciting表示“令人激动的”，主要修饰事物，所以应该选C。
lots of在意义上等同于a lot of, a few是几个，不能突出很多的意思。few的意义是否定的。因此选D。
在所有给出的选项中，只有every后面可以接单数形式的名词，其他词要求后面接复数形式的名词。
这里讲一位记者装疯被送到了精神病医院，因此应该用被动语态。
这是一个形近词辫析题。根据上下文的意思这里应该填“病人”。B. patience意为 “耐心、耐性”;C. patrician意为“贵族”;D. patriot意为“爱国者”。
在英语中，表示地名的专有名词前一般不加任何冠词。
这是一个表示比较的句子，more...than...意为“比……更……”。
从上下文可得知，Hearst想要降低报纸的售价，亦即比原来的价格低，所以要用比较级的形式，即cheaper。
表示“其他任何人的”，用anyone else's。
do anything one can意为“尽己所能”。由于文章的过去时态，所以选could。
send sb. to do sth．意为“派某人去做某事”。
going on表示正在发生。
