The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. For example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on "live action" such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots (骚乱,暴乱) broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by the verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury (陪审团) was able to acquit (宣布......无罪) the policemen involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading, "Can we all get along?" By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally (集会) for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding (展开) on television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.
All the following statements are true EXCEPT that______.
选项
A、electronic media can extend one’s contact with the world
B、those living far away from a certain event can also have some perception of realities by watching television
C、all the events occurring on the university campus at Berkeley were given national media coverage
D、video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake gave the viewers the impression of total disaster
答案
C
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪个选项是不正确的。根据文章第一段第二句话和第三句话,20世纪60年代,作者在伯克利读研究生时,亲身经历了校园中发生的与人民公园相关的事件,记得那种感受。报纸和电视台对其中某些事件进行了全国性的报道。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“媒体对发生在伯克利大学校园里的所有事件进行了全国性的报道”。第二段指出,电子媒体对人们生活的影响与日俱增。人们的印象越来越多地来自于新闻报道。电视和电话通讯正在将人们连接成一个地球村——或某个作家所说的“电子城”。想一想电视每天送到你家的信息吧!再想一想你仅通过电话与其他人的联系吧!这些媒体扩大了你的意识和接触面。例如,电视对1989年旧金山地震的报道侧重于大火和救助活动的“现场效果”,这使观众对这场灾难获得了一个总体印象;电视对海湾战争的报道也产生了一种现场效应,CNN对事件进行了现场报道。这种报道传往世界各地,虽然多数人远离这些事件,但是,他们对这些现实获得了某些认识。A“电子媒体可以扩大人与外界的接触”。B“远离某个事件的人们也可以通过观看电视对这一事件产生某些认识”。D“电视对1989年旧金山地震的报道使观众对这场灾难获得了一个总体印象”。这三个选项的内容文章中都提到了。
