【解析】【分析】本文介绍了“便士报纸”的诞生历程。
(1)细节理解题。
将题干中的 1830s定位在文章的第一段,根据theseamountswereforbiddingtomostcitizens 和mostnewspapershadlittleinthemthatwouldappealtoamassaudience可知,当时只有富人才能读报纸,而且大多数报纸中几乎没有能吸引大众的内容,让人感觉无聊。
由此可得出那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。
A . Academic学术的;B. Unattractive没有吸引力, 无魅力的; C. Inexpensive廉价的,不贵的; D. Confidential机密的,保密的。
故答案为B。
(2)推理判断题。
根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众,很便宜的。
更重要的是,在街上可以买到报纸。
结合第三段中间的 streetsalesofnewspaperswouldbecommonplaceineasterncities可知,报纸的街头销售随处可见。
由此可推断出,街头销售意味读报纸的多了。
故答案为C。
(3)细节理解题。
根据第二段中的referringtopapersmadewidelyavailabletothepublic可知,这种“便士报纸”是针对大众的,在街上可以买得到报纸。
所以这种报纸针对的是普通老百姓,故答案为B。
(4)推理判断题。
根据最后一段中的didnotbeginwell…immediatefailures…可知,“便士报纸”新趋势一开始并不好,一些早期的尝试立即失败了。
后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。
由此可推断出“便士报纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。
故答案为A。
【点评】这是一篇科普类的说明文,阅读时把握文章的主旨,然后快速浏览文章内容。
阅读问题时,确定问题中的关键词,然后在文章中准确定位,认真分析相关的语句即可得到答案。
