B. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 points)
In the 20
th
century, magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing. Specialist magazines cater to
every imaginable field and activity. In The United Kingdom, over 12, 000 periodicals, magazines, bulletins, annuals, trade
journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis. There are some 40 women’s magazines and over 60
dealing with particular sport games, hobbies, and pastimes. Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening
Post, has succumbed to the competition of television, many continue to have enormous international circulations, The
Reader’s Digest over 16 million, The National Geographic over 10 million. For many people, magazines have been the
most valuable and widely used form of continuing education, providing information about history, geography, literature,
science, and the arts, as well as guidance on gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology,
even marriage and family life.
Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap and convenient entertainment in the
English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in what it could do. Magazines and
television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense. During the third quarter of the 20
th
century, coincident
with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television, many general-interests, especially illustrated magazines went out of
business. The shift in attention of a mass audience from reading such magazines to watching television has been a major
factor in this decline, but it is an implicit tribute from television to the older genre that its programs are generally
organized in a single format and content.
