问题     Sometime in next century, the familiar early-morning newspaper on the front door will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis video images of news events.
    Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism (新闻界). Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of jounalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
    Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry. [br] The best title for this passage is ______.
选项 A、Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked
B、Newspapers of the Future will Likely Be on Computer
C、Newspapers Are out of Fashion
D、New Communications Technology
答案 B
解析 本文第一段是对下个世纪计算机新闻报的想象；第二段说，技术的发展不可避免地使计算机报取代传统报纸，但必须经历一定的转变过程；最后一段说需要几十年的时间才能完成这一转变，并阐述了其原因，由此可见，B是比较适合全文的标题。A表达的是现在人们对计算机报的看法，而文章并未提到。C、D的内容也与文章意思不符。
