【解析】【分析】本文介绍了“便士报纸”的诞生历程。

（1）细节理解题。

将题干中的 1830s定位在文章的第一段，根据theseamountswereforbiddingtomostcitizens 和mostnewspapershadlittleinthemthatwouldappealtoamassaudience可知，当时只有富人才能读报纸，而且大多数报纸中几乎没有能吸引大众的内容，让人感觉无聊。

由此可得出那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。

A . Academic学术的；B. Unattractive没有吸引力， 无魅力的； C. Inexpensive廉价的，不贵的； D. Confidential机密的，保密的。

故答案为B。

（2）推理判断题。

根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众，很便宜的。

更重要的是，在街上可以买到报纸。

 结合第三段中间的 streetsalesofnewspaperswouldbecommonplaceineasterncities可知，报纸的街头销售随处可见。

由此可推断出，街头销售意味读报纸的多了。

故答案为C。

（3）细节理解题。

根据第二段中的referringtopapersmadewidelyavailabletothepublic可知，这种“便士报纸”是针对大众的，在街上可以买得到报纸。

所以这种报纸针对的是普通老百姓，故答案为B。

（4）推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的didnotbeginwell…immediatefailures…可知，“便士报纸”新趋势一开始并不好，一些早期的尝试立即失败了。

后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。

由此可推断出“便士报纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。

故答案为A。

【点评】这是一篇科普类的说明文，阅读时把握文章的主旨，然后快速浏览文章内容。

阅读问题时，确定问题中的关键词，然后在文章中准确定位，认真分析相关的语句即可得到答案。
