Newspapers are very important in our daily life. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they didn't have the time to read the news carefully and must be pleased with a quick look at the front page. At other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to have a quick look at the headlines (标题). There are newspapers to please every reader. In big cities there are many types (类型) with several different editions every day. In some towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some places the paper is printed (印刷) weekly. Most papers have several editions, especially (特别地) on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual. There are, besides the front page with the most important news, the sports news, the amusement (娱乐) page, a business page and so on.
单选题
People read newspaper to ______.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】关联句是第一段的第二句话和第三句话：Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. 人们读报纸以了解世界上发生的事情。选项A和选项B中都有“learn”这个词，在语言形式上和关联句较为相似，但它们表达的意义却不同于关联句。选项A表达的含义过于宽泛，而选项B表达的含义又过窄。只有选项C，虽然语言形式上完全不同于原句，但表达出了原句的含义，所以选择C。

【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】文章最后一段有一句活：There are, besides the front page with the most important news, ... 由此可知报纸的首页刊载的是最重要的新闻。在第上述的一题中，我们己分析过“标题”是文章大意的最简要概括。因此选项A、B都应排除。要了解有关电影方向的信息，当然要读娱乐版，所以选C。
