Unit 5 Appreciating Classics[课下练熟高考]“阅读＋七选五＋完形”组合练——练题型(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·四川省德阳市高考模拟)Newspapers have been around for hundreds of years. Their news coverage varies based on the location, political views of the publisher or owner, and many other factors. They are also varied in the way they are designed. One of the main factors determining the look and design of a newspaper is the paper size.Since 1712, the broadsheet page has been among the mostpopular newspaper designs in the industry. This 33.1­i nch by23.4­inch page size became popular when publishers decided theyneeded to get more information on a single page to cut down onthe page count. This is because the British imposed (强加) a newspaper tax that was solely based on the number of pages in the publication. Fewer pages meant less tax. The broadsheet became the standard for most American newspapers as well.Another popular design for American newspapers is the tabloid. Each page of the tabloid layout is generally 16.9 inches by 11 inches. It is approximately half the size of the broadsheet design and is often folded in the middle to make an even smaller package. Although tabloid design was once primarily used by publications, more established newspapers have turned to the smaller size because of its popularity with readers.For newspaper owners who feel they are best served by the tabloid format, but consider themselves to have too high a journalistic standard to be referred to as a tabloid, they choose the compact design. Compact design is different in name only. The typical compact newspaper design has pages that are 16.9 inches by 11 inches, the same as the tabloid format. Some presses may have slight variations. The name is simply a way to separate the publication from those with lesser tabloid reputations. The Sun in England and the Daily Telegraph in Australia both choose this alternative design classification.Berliner is a type of newspaper design that is 18.5 inches by 12.4 inches. While this in­between size of newspaper is not commonly found in the Unite d States, it is popular in Europe. The Guardian in the United Kingdom, The University Observerin Ireland and Le Monde in France are all newspapers designed in the Berliner style.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
