【解析】

1on考察介词。On表示在之上根据该句Do you watch news programmes _____ television?你想要看电视上的新闻栏目么?从watchtelevision可以判断出中间介词用on

2organizations考察名词。Organization意思为组织。结合语境来看,该句意思是:有一些叫做新机构的组织收集新闻以至于我们能够快速的知道事件的始末。所给首字母为O并且前面有are可知是复数,故填organizations

3events考察单词拼写。Event表示大的事件。所给意思为事件,并且我们知道播报的新闻通常不是一条而是很多,所以,这里用的是复数,故填events

4hired/employed考察单词拼写。Hireemploy都表示雇佣。这里所给意思为雇佣,并且结合语境来看是被动语态,填hiredemployed都可以。

5true考察单词拼写。True表示真实的。结合该句News agencies try to be quickfair and t______ “新机构试着成为快速、公正、真实。这里填true是结合了该句中并列的quickfair词语的含义、所给首字母t以及新闻的特点进行判断得出的词语。新闻传播要求实时快捷、公正评价,客观反映事情真相。故填true

7founded/established考察单词拼写。Foundestablish表示建立、成立。结合原句The oldest news agency in the world is Reuterswhich was_________in 1851.世界上最古老的新闻机构是路透社,它成立于1851年。根据语境可以推断出这里的意思是成立,故填founded/established

8since考察时间状语从句。Since表示自从。根据从句中的began可以知道从句时态为一般过去式,而主语的时态为现在完成时,所以选择since来引导时间状语从句。

9flying考察固定搭配。Fly表示飞行。前面有动词provide,可以知道这里是固定句型provid sb doing sth,故将fly变为flying

10below/beneath考察单词拼写。below/beneath意思是在之下。根据原句so even in the air you can know what is happening many thousands of metresb on the Earth!于是,即使在空中你也能知道几千米之下的地下发生了什么。根据语境推断这里的介词是表示在下的意思的,根据所给首字母,故填below/beneath
