67. A。just在此为副词，意为“刚刚”，just when 中just用来强调when做状语。句意为“一个事件刚刚发生，街上就有报纸报道详情了。”说明报纸对新闻的反应之快。
68. A。to give和giving都合乎语法，但giving强调的是正在发生的动作，而此处重点表达的是“反应快”，不是正在做什么。
69. A。无论世界上发生了什么事情，报道记者就会马上赶赴现场收集新闻。gather意为“收集”，符合句意。 70. D。后面的不定式短语表示目的。 报纸的一个基本目的就是以最快的速度获取其新闻的消息来源,purpose“目的”，符合用法。
71. C。此空缺处与前面的those who make it相对，从制造新闻的人处得到消息，而把信息提供给想要了解该新闻的人知道，所以选C。
72. B。other意为“其他的”。此句意为：无线电、电报、电视，及其它发明，成为报纸的竞争对手。
73. A。根据句中的merely及其后所述内容，应选however，表转折。 该句意为“杂志和其他信息载体的发展给报纸带来了竞争，然而，这种竞争仅仅驱使报纸进一步加快其运作。
74. D。使用更新、更快的通讯工具，目的是提高速度，因此improve the speed为正确答案，value“价值”，ratio“比率”，rate“比例”, 平均不符合句。
75. C。报纸是印出来的，先印后读。 该句意为“现在越来越多的报纸被印刷出来并被越来越多的人阅读”。
76. D。keep sb.+过去分词，是一种复合结构，sb.与过去分词为被动关系，该句意为：“报纸不断地为读者提供新闻信息。”
77. C。空后说在政治和重大事件上来影响读者。and为连词，表示并列关系。与influnece相对的应是educate“教育”。
78. B。through为介词，意为“通过”,表示手段。 该句意为：报纸通过广告影响读者在经济生活中的选择。
79. B。大多数报纸依靠广告收入来维持生存。 而A、C、D选项分别意为“形式，内容，目的”不符合文意。
80. C。空后的even强调程度，句意: 报纸的销售价格很低，甚至不足以抵付成本的一小部分。
81. A。分析句意：“对大多数报纸最主要的……是商业广告。“source 意为“来源”，符合句意。Origin“起源，起因”，不符合句意。
82. D。succeed 此处为名词，意为“成功”，succeed in 在某方面的成功。此句意为：广告业务的成功，取决于报纸在客户（要打广告的人）心中的价值。
83. C。根据上下文，此处应该用一般现在时的被动语态，此句意为：报纸在客户心中的价值，是靠发行量衡量的。
84. C。该句意为：发行量的大小，很大程度上取决于发行部门的工作及报纸所提供的服务功能和娱乐功能。
85. B。offered此处为过去分词，作services和entertainment的后置定语。
86. D。information后面接介词about，表示“关于”。 该句意为“在多数情况下，报纸的发行主要看其报道的内容对读者是否有价值，报纸报道的范围涉及社区、城市、国家、世界—甚至外太空。”
