【答案解析】 [听力原文]
   Canada is a huge country, in fact one of the largest in the world. Yet it has only 30 million people, which is less than half of the population of the United Kingdom. It extends from the Great Lakes in the south to the majestic Rocky Mountains in the west, and the bleak Arctic islands in the far north. There are great variations in climate. Winters are extremely cold except in Vancouver which has a milder climate owing to its location on the west coast, so take a heavy overcoat and a fur hat. Canadian summers are warm on the whole, especially inland, so you'll only need lightweight clothing.

【正确答案】为了尽早获得新闻/即时新闻，互联网往往是人们的首选。然后是电视新闻，第三是无线电/电台新闻，而纸质媒体则排在末位。为了和因特网竞争，有些报纸和电视台正在改变其播送新闻的方法。他们不再客观地报道新闻，而是试图通过强调那些最揪人心或最惊人的细节，来留住其读者和观众的兴趣。这种煽情/哗众取宠的倾向让人们怀疑新闻的真实性。根据某项研究/调查，以往有55%的美国人会相信(他们)在新闻报道中所听到或读到的。近期，对电视，该百分比跌到了29%，对报纸来说则更低。

【答案解析】 [听力原文]
   For getting the news as soon as it happens, the Internet is often people's first choice. TV news comes in second, radio news falls third, and print media come in last. In order to compete with the Internet, some newspapers and TV stations are changing the way they deliver the news. Instead of reporting the news objectively, they try to keep their readers' and viewers' interest by focusing on the most upsetting or Shocking details. This trend toward sensationalism is making people question the truth of the news. According to one study, 55% of Americans used to believe what they heard or read in news reports. Recently, that number has dropped to 29% for television and even lower for newspapers.
