But in these days of complex news it must provide more: it must supply interpretation, themeaning of the facts. This is a very important assignment facing American journalists –to makeclear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understandable ascommunity news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as “local ”news, becauevent in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms,indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start aninterpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense.The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves tothe “facts ”. This insistence raises two q u e:s W t i o h n a s t are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?As for the first question, consider how a so- called “factual ”story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the tenwhich he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decideswhich of these ten facts shall make up the beginning of the article, which is an important decisionbecause many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph. This is Judgment Number Two.Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has alarge influence, or on page twenty four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three.Thus in the presentation of a so- called “factual ”or “objective ”story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in whichreporters and editors, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their“news neutralism ”, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.高三英语第8 页共16 页The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objectiveand subjective processes. If an editor is determined to give a prejudiced view of the news, he cando it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the place he gives a story –promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty.43. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. If a reporter makes clear the facts he writes, he will no doubt get into trouble.B. Journalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers.C. The most important task of reporters is to provide unprejudiced facts for the readers.D. For reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts.44. The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because __________.A. it will influence the reader to continueB. most readers read only the first paragraphC. it details the general attitude of the writerD. it ’t s he best way to write according to the schools of journalism45. Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows __________.A. the editor ’s prejudiceB. the reporter ’s backgroundC. the story ’s factual matterD. the story e’f fecst on the readers46. Which of th e following can best express the author ’s attitude toward objectiveness?A. Objectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers.B. Properly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness.C. He doesn ’t think there e x c i s o t m s plete objectiveness in news writing.D. To make clear the news is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers.Section C （8 分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Summary Writing （10 分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the samename as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A. Nonetheless, quite apart fromwell-documented lexical (词汇的) differences –pavement/sidewalk, lift/elevator, etc. –there arestill some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers ofthe two different forms. That ’s why some people say that Great Britain and the U a n t i e t e s d a S r e tnations separated by a common language. There are practical reasons for this.When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spokewas naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots (同胞) on the other side of the AtlanticOcean. However, they immediately saw things which didn ’t exist in Europe, often items used and made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They alsopicked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word “boss ”, for example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17 th century. It comes from theDutch word “baas ”, which means master. The word “cookie ”also comes from the Dutch“ko高三英语第10 页共16 页There are many words, phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms (美式英语用语) in Britain when they are nothing of the sort. Very often, they represent not an American import, but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain. The verbs “guess m”e aning think and “loan m”e aning lend and the adjective “mad”meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms, yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago. In the case of “loan ”, it was a u s s e1d,2a0s0l y o e n a g r s a!g I o n fact, English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last 500 years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found.V.
