Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
In some countries, as many as nine out of ten adults read at least one newspaper a day. Why
do so many people read newspapers? There are five basic functions of a newspaper: to inform, to
comment, to persuade, to instruct and to entertain. You may well think that this list of functions is in
order of importance but, if so, you would not be in agreement with the majority of the reading public.
Of the two board categories of newspaper, the popular and the quality, the popular has a readership of
millions while the quality papers, only hundreds of thousands. Yet, the popular newspapers seem
largely designed for entertainment, with quizzes, competitions, cartoons and light-hearted human
interest stories. Their news coverage contains a lot of comment and persuasive language; the
information content is rather low and the instruction is very minor. The quality newspapers put much
higher value on information and a much lower one on entertainment.
It is not only in numbers of readers, content that two types of paper differ. There is a
difference, too, in the style in which the articles are written. The popular papers generally use more
dramatic language with a lot of word-play. Their journalists tend to use shorter sentences and avoid
less well-known vocabulary. This means that the popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker
to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker.
Question 36: The text implies that most newspaper readers ________.
A. prefer entertainment to information B. read more than one newspaper a day

Question 37: Popular newspapers ________.
A. use a language which is not persuasive
B. are more concerned with giving information
C. put great emphasis on entertainment
D. are read by 90% of adults
Question 38: Quality newspapers ________.
A. put low value on information
B. are more persuasive than popular newspapers
C. have fewer readers than those of popular papers
D. are very important to most of the adult readers
Question 39: Popular newspapers ________.
A. contain less dramatic and persuasive language and shorter sentences
B. use more word-play and fewer cartoon pictures
C. have small headlines with only well-known vocabulary
D. are easier for native speakers to understand than for non-native speakers
Question 40: Popular and quality newspapers have some differences about ________.
A. the numbers of readers and the style of the articles
B. the functions to inform and to comment to most of the readers
C. the information conveyed to the adult readers every day
D. the numbers of readers and the content and the style of articles
