    C.are less dependent on advertising

    D.are less affected by readership

    解析:推理题。题干中的American和Japanese定位在第四段。第四段第一句指出报业通过读者和广告收入健康的组合而变得更为平衡了。然后对比美国和日本报业的情况,美国报业过分依赖广告,而日本的比例是35%,因此日本报业就更为稳定了。因此日本报业稳定的原因是不过分依赖广告,对应[C]选项。其他选项在原文都没有对应,属于无中生有。

  • 第3题:

    根据下列内容,回答207-210题。
    The makers of Europe's toilet paper and other household paper goods are contributing todeforestation by failing to offer consumers enough recycled products, conservationists said recently.
    "Everyday about 270,000 trees are effectively flushed down the toilet or end up as garbagearound the world; such a use of the forests is both wasteful and unnecessary," said Duncan Poundof WWF, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund.
    According to a WWF study, the five biggest manufacturers of disposable paper products inEurope are Procter and Gamble, SCA, Kimberly Clark, Mesa Tissue and Georgia Pacific, whichcontrolabout 70 percent of European market. The vast majorityof their products contain"alarmingly low levels" of recycled fibers, it said.
    That means that"virgin fibers" extracted from natural forests and tree plantations around theworld"end up as waste without the consumer's knowledge, ” the Switzerland-based internationalconservation group said in this communique.
    "Consumers have no idea that they may be threatening the world's forests when they go to thebathroom, "said Pollard, who heads the WWF program on European forests.
    "The manufactures claim that retailers mainly want non-recycled products because that is whatconsumers choose." the WWF said.
    "It's a myth that recycled tissue products are not of good quality." Pollard said.
    The European tissue business is worth around 8.5 billion euros(10 billion dollars) annuallyand accounts for 26 percent of global consumption.
    Each European uses on average 13 kilos of paper products per year, the WWF said.
    The WWF has asked the companies to better inform consumers about how much of theirhousehold paper goods are made with recycled fibers and to advise them to buy bounds of recycledtoilet paper and tissues.
    What does the underlined part"end up as waste without the consumer's knowledge" mean ?__________

    A.Consumers waste "virgin fibers" because they lack knowledge
    B.Consumers don't waste "virgin fibers" without knowledge
    C.Consumers stopped using "virgin fibers" as waste because of knowledge
    D.Consumers waste "virgin fibers" without know it

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据文章第五段Pollard说的话,即“Consumers have nO idea that they may be threateningthe world’s forests when they go to the bathroom,”可知,是因为消费者自身没有意识到自己行为的后果,所有他们才这样浪费“原生纤维”。故选D。

    Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth.In the past ten years,more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska.Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska.
    Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina.Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the.ocean according to satellite images.Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta,Georgia.
