【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文阅读，主要讲述的是电视和报刊杂志这两种媒体各自的优点和缺点。

【1】B 根据横线后两句Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading. If television did not cover the news, some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.可知本段主要讲述的是电视的作用，看电视很令人愉悦，而且看电视努力。如果我们不看电视，我们就不会知道世界上所发生的事情。故B项“Television news shows are impressive and interesting.”与本段中心思想是一致的。

【2】G 根据横线前面一句Viewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera.观众很快就厌倦了看着记者报道这些新闻。说明本段主要讲述的是电视的弱点，选项中只有G项“As a result, a complicated story is often cut short.”在叙述电视报道的弱点。

【3】F 文章二、三段在叙述电视的弱点，在第四段中叙述的是另外一种媒体：报刊杂志的优点。根据横线后两句They can include details, and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them. Others can stick to the headlines在报刊杂志中，可以详细地报道细节，同时还可以通过大标题了解中心思想。所以F项“newspapers and magazines do a better job of explaining complex events.”新闻报刊可以报道复杂的事件，与上一段最后一句的G项相呼应。

【4】D 根据横线前一句Reading allows more freedom of choice than television阅读给读者选择阅读内容的自由，而电视观众只能观看电视里播放的内容，观众是没有自由的。故D项“The TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch.”与前一句相一致。

【5】E 根据横线后一句However, a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.可知对某个事件有兴趣的人可以在报刊杂志里阅读到更多的信息，而电视只能让观众知道所发生的事情，电视的报道不够深入。故E项“Television provides a useful glance at what’s happening.”与上下文一致。
