from advertising in 2008,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD). In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly,Japanese newspapers are much more stable.
本段首句指出报纸行业好转的原因:发行收入和广告收入更加平衡。第二句+第三句通过列举美国过去的报纸行业广告占比,来凸显之前收入结构的不合理。
第四句举例日本的广告占比来表明:广告占比越高,报纸的稳定性就会下降(发行高意味着读者人数多,光有广告没人看也没用)。
从考点设置来说,本段首句和其余内容构成观点+例证的结构,其中例证内
部还出现了对比,因此首句的观点和例证的对比结构都可以设置相应的正确选项,无论考哪个部分,正确选项应该都和“广告占比下降好”有关。
The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody,but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspaper are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers have gone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off. Newspapers are less complete as a result. But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
本段首句通过转折指出真正受到冲击的是报纸中没有特色的板块。第二句到第四句进行举例论证:例如汽车,电影评论,科技,商业都没人看,所以都消失
了。第五句+第六句给出结论:因此报纸的板块不再完整,也没有必要完整。
从考点设置来说,本段首句为带有转折(转折本身还带有比较结构)的明确观点句,可以针对其设置细节题的正确选项。
