四、阅读短文，在文中空白处填入1个适当的单词，或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。（2025·江苏徐州新沂期中）
尽管电子书很受欢迎，但大多数人还是更喜欢纸质书。阅读纸质书确实是个好习惯，但这也意味着砍伐树木。书能变回一棵树吗？一家名为“小编辑”（Pequeno Editor）的图书出版公司已经让这成为可能！
该公司的这本特别的书《我的父亲在丛林中》已经出版了。在这本书中，一个小男孩带着读者和他的父亲一起在丛林中进行了一次令人兴奋的旅行。这本书由无酸纸制成，并用特殊墨水印刷。
而且它是可回收的。树的种子被小心地放进书页里。当有人读完这本书后，他或她可以给书浇水，然后把它放在一个阳光充足的地方。一旦种子发芽，这本书就可以被种到土壤里。从那时起，这本书就只需要像其他植物一样被照料了。
唯一遗憾的是，出版商目前不打算很快改变他们的其他任何书籍。这个项目只是一个一次性的项目，目的是让人们有保护环境的意识。

Are newspapers dying?
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 1 for newspapers?
Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry witnessed its most successful periods in the early 20th century. With the radio and TV，however，the newspaper circulation(发行量)began to 2. By the mid-20th century，the radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to 3 newspapers for news. That was especially true of breaking news.
Afternoon newspapers were the first to 4. People coming home from work increasingly turned on the TV instead of opening a newspaper because TV could provide news that happened a short time 5. It was true that newspapers couldn't compete with TV on 6，but they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.
But newspapers suffered another heavier blow(打击)in the 1990s. With the development of the Internet，large amounts of information became 7. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet 8 any cost. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription(订阅). In this way，by reading news online，people could also 9 money.
So what does the future hold? Will newspapers die? Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making 10. Some are going digital.

报纸正在走向消亡吗？
多年来，一直有人说报纸已濒临消亡。每年都有更多报纸停刊的消息传来。但为什么报纸的处境会如此糟糕呢？
报纸有着悠久的历史。第一份报纸在17世纪被印刷出来。这个行业在20世纪初见证了它最成功的时期。然而，随着广播和电视的出现，报纸的发行量开始下降。到20世纪中期，广播和电视变得如此受欢迎，以至于人们不再需要依靠报纸来获取新闻，突发新闻尤其如此。
下午版的报纸最先开始衰落。下班回家的人们越来越多地打开电视，而不是翻开报纸，因为电视可以提供不久前发生的新闻。诚然，报纸在速度上无法与电视竞争，但它们可以提供电视新闻无法提供的深度报道。
但在20世纪90年代，报纸遭受了又一次更沉重的打击。随着互联网的发展，大量的信息变得免费可得。许多报纸读者意识到他们可以免费在互联网上阅读新闻。似乎没有什么理由为订阅报纸付费了。通过在线阅读新闻，人们还可以省钱。
那么未来会怎样呢？报纸会消亡吗？也许不会。现在许多报纸正在做出改变。一些报纸走向数字化。一些报纸增加了更多像体育和时尚这样有趣的话题来吸引年轻读者。一些报纸走得更远，将这个行业带到了它从未到过的地方。毕竟，人们仍然想要最新且可靠的新闻。而且许多人认为报纸仍然是深度新闻、分析和观点的重要来源。如果报纸完全消失，将没有什么东西能取代它们的位置。所以，尽管前方的道路充满挑战，但报纸也许还没有消亡。
