问题      There are five basic functions of a newspaper: to inform, to comment, to persuade, to instruct and【C1】______ . You may well think this list of functions【C2】______  in order of importance but, if so, you would not be【C3】______ agreement with the majority of the reading public.【C4】______ the two broad kinds of newspapers, the popular and the quality, the former【C5】______  a readership of millions, while the latter, only hundreds【C6】______ thousands. Yet the popular papers seem largely【C7】______ for entertainment. Their news coverage contains【C8】______ comment and persuasive language. The quality newspapers【C9】______ a much higher value on information and a much【C10】______ one on entertainment.
     It is not only in content【C11】______ the two types of paper differ. There is a【C12】______  in the style in which the articles 【C13】______ . The popular papers generally use more dramatic【C14】______ .with a lot of wordplay. Their reporters tend 【C15】______ shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary. This 【C16】______ that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker 【C17】______ , though probably not for a non- native speaker.
     In order to decide【C18】______ a newspaper is a quality or popular one,【C19】______ is not even necessary to read it, since you can tell simply by the【C20】______ it looks. Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page. They have bigger headlines and more photographs. The articles are shorter and there are fewer per page. [br] 【C16】
选项 A、points
B、means
C、decides
D、tells
答案 B
解析 this指代上文中的“Their reporters tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary．”一句，而that引导的宾语从句则是对上一句话的进一步的解释和说明，因此选动词mean，该动词在此作“意味着，意思是”讲，例如：Whenever people say that sort of thing，you know they don’t mean it.每当人们谈到那种事情时，你要知道他们并不当真。
