　　A．the staff who are going to retire

　　B．workers who are experienced

　　C．people who are no longer useful or needed

　　D．reporters who are tired of covering events

　　答案　C　[词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段中第二句话可知那些富有经验的雇员因为工资高而最容易受到解雇，再结合后面的talent，可以推出deadwood指那些在报社里没有用途的人员，所以选C。]

　　49．According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?

　　A．The author had no objection.

　　B．The author opposes them.

　　C．The author regards them reasonable.

　　D．The author has not shown it explicity.

　　50．Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?
