2.If there is one thing I am sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(傳送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sports and international news,etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒體).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air.And as for the Internet,it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

解答 63.D 64.D 65.B 66.B
63 D 推理題.根據(jù)本句You'll be probably selecting from a menu,making up your ownbespoke newspaperby picking out the things you want to read and say.說明在未來的報紙上我們可以選修我們自己想要了解的內(nèi)容,所以應(yīng)該是指符合個人興趣,故選D項.
64 D 推斷題.根據(jù)文章第1段第3句Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday可知現(xiàn)在人們從電視或收音機(jī)中得知新聞,許多人僅僅在周六或周日買報紙,故選D項..
65 B 詞義猜測題.作者上一句說人們錯誤地認(rèn)為各各種不同的媒體相互競爭,而下一句作者又說 They actually feed off each other(注意句中 actually 一詞),再結(jié)合所給的四個選項,可知選B為合適
65 B 主旨題.從文章第1句:一百年后人們?nèi)砸x報,到后面文章講到報紙跟人們生活的關(guān)系,報紙的形式和內(nèi)容,可歸納出此題的答案為B
