解析:[听力原文]
Different Media

With the introduction of radio, /newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would affect them. /Many feared that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people informed/would displace the newspaper industry altogether. /Others hoped that the brief newscast heard on the air would stimulate listeners in the story/so they'd buy the paper to get more information. /This second idea turned out to be closer to the truth. /Radio and print were not substitutes for each other but actually supported each other. /You see the relationship between different media is not always one of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. /However this is not always the case. /Take television and motion pictures for example, /with the popularization of TV, /the motion picture industry suffered greatly. /
Movie attendance dropped when audience members chose to stay at home and be entertained. /Likewise, when a football game was shown on the air, /the stands were often empty because fans chose to watch the game at home./

[解析] 这篇听写材料的内容不难理解,但是短文的长单词相对较多,可能会影响记录的速度。另外,在初听的时候,考生可能不能正确理解和捕捉stimulate,reinforcement,stands等词汇,因此很难理解这些词汇所在的句子,考生应在这些方面强化练习。
