　　本文主要叙述的是下个世纪的报纸的变化，由现在的纸质变成了未来的电脑屏幕。

以及人们对于这一技术的态度。

　　小题1:

A

　　【试题解析】细节题。

根据文章第二句Andinsteadofreadingyournewspaper,itwillreadtoyou.可知未来的电脑报纸很方便。

所以B正确。

根据第4行You'llevengettochoosethekindofvoiceyouwanttohear.可知C正确;根据5,6行Saveitinyourownpersonalcomputerifyoulike.可知D项正确。

只有A项在文章里没有提及。

　　小题2:

C

　　【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章最后一段Despitetechnologicaladvances,itcouldtakedecadestoreplacenewsprintwithcomputerscreens.和becausepeopleneedtobuycomputersandbecausenewspapershaveestablishedfinancialinterestsinthepaperindustry.可知完成这个转变的主要困难是电脑的流行需要较长的时间。

故C正确。

　　【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章第二段Sinceitissuchaculturalchange,itmaybethatthepresentgenerationofjournalistsandpublisherswillhavetodieoffbeforethenextgenerationrealizesthatthenewspaperindustryisnolongeranewspaperindustry.Technologyismakingtheendof'traditionalnewspapersunavoidable可知来自记者的抵制是因为现在的记者习惯于传统的报纸，对于新技术有抵触。

故D正确。

　　小题4:

C

　　【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章第二段最后一句Technologyismakingtheendof'traditionalnewspapersunavoidable可知技术的革命是无法避免的。

也就是说新技术最终将取代就技术。

故C正确。

　　小题5:

B

　　【试题解析】主旨大意题。

本文主要叙述的是下个世纪的报纸的变化，由现在的纸质变成了未来的电脑屏幕。

以及人们对于这一技术的态度。

故B正确。

　　【长难句解析】

　　Picturedaspartofbroaderhome-basedmediaandentertainmentsystems,computernewspaperswilluniteprintandbroadcastreporting,andoffernewsandanalysiswithvideoimagesofnewsevents.

　　【翻译】作为家庭媒体娱乐系统的一部分，计算机报纸将把印刷和广播结合在一起使用视频图像来显示新闻和分析。

【分析】本句中的动词picture与主句主语computernewspapers构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以使用过去分词短语作定语。

如果动词和名词构成主动关系就使用现在分词做定语。
