Ⅱ. 阅读理解
When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people?s minds I wouldn?t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I?m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.
Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.
In her successful blog post titled “The job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have”, author Jenny Surane states,“Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers? heads.” She goes on to state that people don?t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.
If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.
Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.
Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.
1. According to Paragraph 2, the author feels 　　　　.?
A.confident about the future of his career B.worried about the future of print
C.tired of being a newspaper journalist D.embarrassed about online writing
2. What information is conveyed in Jenny?s blog post?
A.Twitter is not very popular. B.It is hard to manage online journalism.
C.Print still has its own advantages. D.People have more options to get information.
3. What does the underlined word “grim” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Promising. B.Depressing. C.Unforgiving. D.Encouraging.
4. What is the author?s purpose in writing the text?
A.To explore the future of journalism. B.To analyse the cause of print decline.
C.To explain the bright future of a journalist. D.To introduce a successful blog post about print.
