For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death's door.Every year brings more news of closing.But why is the situation so terrible for newspapers?
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. Their most successful period is in the early 20th century.
With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation (发行量) began to fall.(3)By the mid﹣20th century,radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to depend on newspapers for news. That was especially true for breaking (突发的) news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer (受损害). After work, more and more people turned on TV instead of opening a newspaper. That was because TV could provide news happening a short time ago. It's true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on speed, but they could provide in﹣depth (深入详尽的) reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another, heavier blow (打击) in the 1990s. With the appearance of the Internet, tons of information became free. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription (订阅).
So what does the future hold? Will newspapers die? Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making changes. Some are going digital (数字的). Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source (来源) of in﹣depth news, analysis (分析) and opinions.
(4)If newspapers disappear completely.there will be nothing to take their place.
A.根据短文内容简要回答问题.

(2)Will newspapers disappear? Why or why not?(选择一种情况作答)

Recent years have witnessed the returning of bikes across China. An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike﹣sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many. cities. Mobike had 5.85million active users while Ofo had 1.4million in the first week of this year.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They're popular among many Chinese people
because they help solve "last﹣mile" problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft. In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike﹣sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, V6lib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese service Organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100﹣point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased from 1yuan to 100yuan per 30minutes.

47.How do people unlock the shared bikes?
48.Why are the shared bikes popular in cities?
