 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long time, it
has been a newspaper of record in the United State and one of the world’s great newspapers. Its
strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of
circulation.
The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in
a restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the
future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience. However, in
the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid,
newspapers in New York City. Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were
true, but because they sold newspapers. Despite price increases, the time was losing £1,000 a
week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van Anda as
editor. Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his
reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news. The
management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine
section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny. In April 1912, the paper took many risks to
report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its
coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence in world
news.
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret
government study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war. When it published the report, it became
involved in several lawsuits. The U.S. Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by
the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution. Later in the

1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping
changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition
transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
Question 43: Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word “restrained” in paragraph 1?
A. Put in prison
B. In handcuffs
C. Without educationD. With self-control
Question 44: What word or phrase does the word “his” in paragraph 2 refer to?

Question 46: What word or phrase does the word “publication” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The Times
B. “The pentagon Papers” C. The Report
D. The Constitution
Question 47: What is the main idea of the passage?

B. The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world.
