参考答案：

(1)-(5)BADCC (6)-(10)BBBDC (11)-(15) DBBCA (16)-(20)CBADA

解析：

(1) B 根据句意“附加的新闻由电影展示”，故选B项。show显示，展示。

(2) A 通读可知两句之间有转折之意，又因为此词修饰people，故应选修饰可数名词的few的比较级。

(3) D study“学习、研究”；argument“论点、论据”；knowledge“知识”；idea“思想、观点、想法”。根据前后句意，D项恰当。

(4) C 此句译为“如今这种观点比Donne生活的时期更恰当”，故选when(当……时)。

(5) C move to“搬到……，移到……”；go to“到……，去……”；belong to“属于”；come to“共计，达到”。根据句意“一个人属于某个社团”，应选C项。

(6) B whatever“无论什么”，作宾语从句中主语从句的主语。本句的谓语动词是affects，因此happens应是主语从句的谓语动词，而it，something和anything均不能引导从句。

(7) B 根据上下文推知，报纸只发行了400年，故应属于现代社会，故选B项。

(8) B buy“买”；print“印刷，印制”；find“找到”；discover“发现”。根据句意，应用过去分词printed作定语。

(9) D fast“快速地”，强调动作本身的速度；suddenly“突然地”；immediately“立即地、直接地”；soon“很快”。

(10) C thanks to“多亏……，由于……”。其他三个选项均为动词，不能构成状语，本句中不缺少谓语动词。

(11) D 本段在讲报纸的出版、发行，故选D项。deliver意为“投递”；make意为“制作”；sell意为“销售”。

(12) B “make it＋adj.＋to do”结构中it作形式宾语，不定式作真正的宾语，make it possible to(do)“使……成为可能”。clear“清楚的”，bright“明亮的”和successful“成功的”均与句意不符。

(13) B “影印不需要使用铅字”，故选B项。want意为“想”；like意为“喜欢”；hope则意为“希望”。

(14) C 此句用来举例，故选C项。such as“例如”；including“包括”；besides“除了……外，还有”；except“除了……之外”。

(15) A advanced“先进的”；easy“容易的”；unusual“不寻常的”；suitable“合适的”。A项符合句意。

(16) C 使用了先进的技术来出版报纸、杂志，必然会省钱，故选C项。而make，earn和get均表示“挣钱”。

(17) B great distances“很远的距离”，places，cities和villages均表示地点，不符合句意。

(18) A 从上文推知，通过电视和卫星传输的是画面、图片，不是报纸、信件和话语。

(19) D become“变得”；feel“觉得”；turn“变得”。以上三项均不符合题意，故选D项。现在分词短语being light and small作原因状语。

(20) A where在此引导地点状语从句，there，which和because of不能引导地点状语从句。
