手机_信息传播载体还是大众媒介

手机:信息传播载体还是大众媒介* 傅宁庞大的用户群和手机信息传播的功能,使很多人把手机这个信息传播载体看做是大众传播媒介。

因为它不但吸纳和融合了传统媒体的功能和优势,还具有许多其他媒体不具有的特性,如分众、定向、即时等。

那么,这个信息传播载体可以被视为当代传播学意义上的媒体吗?一、手机的媒体雏形手机报2004年7月中国妇女报开办了中国第一份手机报。

截止到现在,全国共有30多个报业集团和报社推出了手机报服务,手机报似乎使手机从信息传播载体跨越到了数字媒体的行列。

但是,如果严格细分,就会出现与大众传媒定义的疏离。

手机报因为没有自己的采编人员,完全复制传统纸质媒体的内容,原创性差。

内容基本是传统报纸的缩微版,信息来源、信息选择、叙事结构、新闻语境等方面与其传统报纸的母体保持着完全的共性。

只是根据手机的屏幕大小和滚动模式,在体裁选择、报道篇幅大小等方面略作调整。

手机用户与大众媒体匿名的受众也是有区别的,由于中国手机是实名制登记,用户的基本信息和话费消费额度都是电信可以掌握的数据。

电信用户的分众化服务,真正可以做到有的放矢。

但即使这样,手机作为信息传播载体也没有能够满足大家对手机报的基本期待:分众化和互动性。

依靠问卷星上的调查(开始时间2010年4月22日,结束时间2010年12月27日)结果显示,手机用户的基本特征可以比较清晰地显现:44 1%的男性和55 9%的女性,其中大学本科学历的占88 1%;话费在21 50元之间的占59 3%,81 100元的占11 9%;文科76 3%,理工科23 7%;接受3元/月价位的占45 8%,3 5元/月的22%;通过网络获取新闻的占76 3%,通过电视的占10 2%;订阅手机报的原因28 8%出于兴趣,18 6%是套餐;47 5%的订户觉得质量一般,33 9%的订户感到满意, 28 7%不满意;61%选择自己感兴趣的内容浏览,10 2%只读导读部分,23 7%全部阅读;45 8%在早晨9点到12点收到手机报;54 2%的人对国内新闻感兴趣,52 5%的人对国际新闻感兴趣,52 5%的人对娱乐新闻感兴趣(出现此结果的原因为本题答案为多选项);54 2%的人对文字新闻感兴趣,37 3%对图片新闻感兴趣;认为手机报信息量不够的人占20 3%,认为报道太简单,不能提供详细报道的占33 9%;除了新闻外,45 8%的人主要从手机报获取天气预报;与普通报纸相比,50 8%的人认为资讯不全面,23 7%的人认为新闻信息孤立,缺乏背景,18 6%的人认为信息不准确,缺乏权威性;使用中国移动手机报的占59 3%,中国联通手机报的占3 4%,中国电信手机报的占3 4%,其他手机报的33 9%。

英语周报》大学版四级模拟试题与2010年12月18日四级真题

《英语周报》大学版四级模拟试题与2010年12月18日四级真题对比分析报告大学版四、六级责编张晓红一、写作《英语周报》大学版2010—2011学年上学期共有十套四级模拟题，其中三套是关于父母与子女关系的写作题目，它们分别是四级模拟试题（五）、四级模拟试题（七）和四级模拟试题（八），并分别从低幼儿童应该由父母自己照看还是送进幼儿园、成年孩子是否应与父母同住，以及“啃老族”三个阶段来讨论如何培养孩子的独立问题，虽然侧重点有所不同，但主题都是一致的；而2010年12月18日的四级真题作文题目恰恰是对这三个阶段的一个归纳：父母如何帮助孩子学会独立。

下面，我们来对比分析一下三套模拟试题与真题的异同之处：模拟一：Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?1. Some people think children should be taken care of at home by their parents;2. Others argue that it would be good for them if they were sent to the kindergarten;3. What’s your opinion?参考范文：Should Children Be Taken Care of at Home?There has been a heated discussion about whether of not children should be taken care of at home by their parents.Some people argue that taking care of children at home has a number of advantages. Firstly, parents may be able to provide a more practical education for their children than kindergartens. Secondly, home is likely to provide a more relaxed atmosphere than any other place. Besides, parents can keep their children from negative influences.Many other people, however, insist that children should be sent to the kindergarten. First, in kindergartens children are given more opportunities to develop in a social context and become accustomed to communicating with peers independently. Next, kindergartens offer professional trained teachers and all kinds of educational facilities from which children can benefit.In my opinion, I believe that children should be taken care of in kindergartens instead of being educated at home. Only in this way can both children and parents get benefits, as parents are able to advance their careers; at the same time, children will get better education, learn to be independent and solve problems by themselves.模拟二：Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?Some people think that when people become old, they often feel very lonely; therefore, adult children should live with their parents. Do you agree with this opinion?参考范文：Should Parents Live with Their Adult Children?One of the topics of daily life is whether or not older people should live with their adultchildren. My answer for this question is that it is better for them not to do so.Firstly, people of different ages have different ways of living. Many old people like a quiet, peaceful and regular life whereas the young prefer noisy and unrestrained enjoyment. Secondly, people of different generations have different views and values. When they live together, they may disagree with each other on matters ranging from minor domestic matters to national and international issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable to both the old and the young. Last but not least, adult children, like their parents, love independence and freedom, but their parents still take them as children and unintentionally interfere in their affairs. The situation could be worse if the children are already married. For old people’s interference, many couples may have conflicts every day, even leading to a divorce.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that if the parents and their adult children do not live together, both the old and the young enjoy complete independence and freedom, lead a life they like and keep their affections for each other.模拟三：NEET Group Phenomenon1. 社会上出现“啃老族”：已经成年、有劳动能力的年轻人，仍依靠父母供养。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a starmainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.He is skeptical - he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available - and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.81. Many people believe that science helps society progress throughA. applied knowledge.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity?A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.83. According to the passage, a successful scientist would notA. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation84. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.85. What is the author's attitude towards the topic?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Biased.D. Unclear.TEXT BOver the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhumancreatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.The Nazca“lines” of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoff at and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Interment. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.Will the Interment help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were foundA. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the the images they present.A. smallerB. largerC. clearerD. brighter89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because ofA. the participation of scientists.B. the emergence of the Interment.C. the birth of new theories.D. the interest in the Interment.90. The author is about the role of the Interment in solving mysteries.A. cautiousB. pessimisticC. uncertainD. optimisticTEXT CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The resttend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?"But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every yeara few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managedto book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebodyelse move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University)"There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University)"This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University)Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed,"she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you mustgive something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Serviceis the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond clich6 and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained somethingof a cult after it was widely circulated on the Interment. Apple Computer CEO SteveJobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, isalso considered one of the best in recent memory.But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you reallywant to be lectured about the big stuff? Isn't that like trying to maintain a smileat your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriageis hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it'sone of the first lessons of growing up.91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall memories.A. greatB. trivialC. unforgettableD. unimaginative92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explainedA. in the final paragraph.B. in the last but one paragraph.C. in the first paragraph.D. in the same paragraph.93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPTA. death.a. success.C. service.D. generosity.94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail toA. remain clear-headed.B. keep good manners.C. remember others' words.D. recollect specific details.95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.TEXT DCultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern。

Jackson, himself an iPad owner, expanded on his statement by pointing to the recent bankruptcy of Borders Books. "Why do you need to go to Borders anymore? Just buy an iPad and download your book, download your newspaper, download your magazine," the Congressman said. "What becomes of bookstores and librarians and all of the jobs associated with paper? Well, in thenot-too-distant future, such jobs simply won't exist."据美国《赫芬顿邮报》17日报道，美国国会议员小杰西·杰克逊称，美国目前面临严重的失业危机，而iPad平板电脑"可能是导致成千上万美国人失业的罪魁祸首"。

杰克逊自己也有iPad，他通过美国大型连锁书店"边界书店"的倒闭进一步论证了自己的结论。

"你为什么还要去边界书店买书?买个iPad，下载你要的书、报纸和杂志，就万事大吉。

书店、图书馆以及纸质出版相关的工作将何去何从?在不远的将来，这些工作都将不复存在。

【百科全书】Oldest English words found 最古老英语单词大揭秘UK scientists have identified the oldest English words. Reading University researchers claim "I," "we," "two" and "three" are among the most ancient, dating back tens of thousands of years. Their computer model analyzes the rate of word changes in English and other languages that share a common heritage. The team says it can predict which words are likelyto become extinct – citing "squeeze," "guts," "stick" and "bad" as probable first casualties.英国科学家已经找出了最老的英语单词。

雷丁大学研究人员表示，"I"、"we"、"two"和"three"已有数万年历史，是英语中最古老词汇的代表。

研究人员利用电脑建模分析英语单词的变化速率以及同根语言，并能够预测哪些词汇正濒临灭绝，其中首当其冲的就是"squeeze"、"guts"、"stick"以及"bad"。

请看相关报道：The 4 teams accredited by Zhejiang will cooperate with labor-exporting provinces on interprovincial labor services, and some enterprises will participate in on-site recruiting.浙江省委派的4支工作组将与劳务输出省份在跨省劳务服务方面进行合作，一些企业还会参与现场招聘活动。

在上面的报道中，on-site recruiting就是"现场招聘"。

On-site的意思是"现场的，就地的"。

例如：an on-site inspection(现场检查)。

Recruit在这里表示"招聘，招募"，recruiter即"招聘人员"，例如：college recruiters(大专院校招生人员)。

曾经有过求职经历的人对on-site recruiting(现场招聘)应该都很熟悉，近几年online recruiting(网上招聘)也越来越流行，很多大学生现在都倾向于online job hunting(网上求职)的方式。

现在部分企业也开始采用online interview(网上面试)来进行screening(筛选)。

大学女生中的绝大多数，有93％，都会参与"肥胖谈话"。

就是那种"呃，我穿这牛仔裤好显胖啊"之类的谈话。

很多女性都表示跟朋友们谈论肥胖能让她们对自己的身材更满意。

A typical exchange:以下为一段典型的"肥胖谈话"：A: Ugh, I feel so fat. (甲：唉，我觉得自己太胖了。

)B: OMG. Are you serious? You are not fat. (乙：天啊，你别开玩笑了。

你一点儿都不胖。

但是如果这些名词用来虚指某些可数名词时，这些名词呈复数形式，其后更加上介词of例如：dozens of pencils(几十支铅笔)和scores of tame birds(几十只家禽)。
