Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35
In some countries, as many as nine out of ten adults read at least one newspaper a day Why
do so many people read newspapers? There are five basic functions of a newspaper: to inform, to comment, to persuade, to instruct and to entertain You may well think that this list of functions is in order of importance but, if so, you would not be in agreement with the majority of the reading public
Of the two board categories of newspaper, the popular and the quality, the popular has a readership of millions while the quality papers, only hundreds of thousands Yet, the popular newspapers seem largely designed for entertainment, with quizzes, competitions, cartoons and light-hearted human interest stories Their news coverage contains a lot of comment and persuasive language; the information content is rather low and the instruction is very minor The quality newspapers put much higher value on information and a much lower one on entertainment
It is not only in numbers of readers, content that two types of paper differ There is a difference, too, in the style in which the articles are written The popular papers generally use more dramatic language with a lot of word-play Their journalists tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary This means that the popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker
to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker
Question 31: The text implies that most newspaper readers
A prefer entertainment to information B read more than one newspaper a day
C find quality newspaper easier to read D read newspapers mainly for information
