1. C) 根據上下文，此空應該為介詞，故選項A和B可被排除，因為它們后邊不能直接跟名詞短語。根據句義，選項C為正確答案。
2. D) 根據語義線索（報紙有一個基本目的就是以最快速度從新聞來源處得到新聞）可知選項D為正確答案。
3. C) 根據語義線索選項C know 為正確答案。
4. B) 此題涉及other, another 兩詞的用法。Other可以單獨使用也可以和定冠詞the一起使用，other一般用來修飾表示不確定所指的復數可數名詞，意為“其他”；the other用來指代或修飾特定范圍內的第二者或第三者等，不合適。Another一般修飾可數名詞單數，不合適。One another是相互代詞，不能作限定詞。綜上，根據語法線索，選項B為正確答案。
5. A) 根據上下文，該句句義有轉折，故表示轉折意義的關系副詞選項A However為正確答案。其它三詞：and為表示并列關系的并列連詞；therefore和so為表示因果關系的關系副詞。
6. D) 根據上下文，報紙報道新聞應該發展更新更快的通訊方式，可知其目的是為提高速度從而提高效率。故選項D為正確答案。
7. C) 此題可用排除法。根據語義線索（今天印刷的和人們閱讀的'報紙比以往任何時候都多）可將A，B和D排除。
8. D) 此題涉及動詞keep的用法。動詞keep后可接復雜賓語結構，即賓語+賓語補語的結構。形容詞，瞖d分詞，ing分詞等都可作賓補。其中瞖d分詞表示被動含義；ing分詞表示主動含義。此句句義為“除了使讀者知悉最新的新聞外 … ”，因此根據語法線索，含有被動意義的選項D為正確答案。
9. B) 根據句義可知此空應使用意為“通過”的介詞。故選項B through 為正確答案。
10. B) 根據上下文可推斷此句大概句義為“報紙通過廣告維持它們的存在”，故選項B existence“存在”為正確答案。
11. C) 根據上下句句義可以推斷，報紙不是通過出售其本身所得來維持其生存，而是通過刊登廣告的收入來維持其生存，并且對于大多數的報紙來說主要的經費來源是商業廣告，而不是出售報紙，因此可以猜測出報紙的售價不能涵蓋其制作印刷成本，因此選項C為正確答案。其它三項意義不符。
12. A) 根據上句可推斷此句的答案只能從A、B兩項之間產生。Origin意為“起源，根源”不合適。故選項A source“來源”為正確答案。
13. C) 根據此句義“這（報紙對廣告商的價值）是以報紙的發行量來衡量” 及上下文可推斷此空應填動詞的被動形式，故選項C為正確答案。
14. B) 選項B為ed分詞作后置定語。
15. D) 根據詞匯線索和語義線索可知，此處需要使用介詞about，表示“關于社區、國家和世界的信息”。
