  • 第1题:

    Two years ago,Rupert Murdoch’s daughter,Elisabeth,spoke of the“unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions”Integrity had collapsed,she argued,because of a collective acceptance that the only“sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market.But“it’s us,human beings,we the people who create the society we want,not profit”.Driving her point home,she continued:“It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose,of a moral language within government,media or business could become one of the most dangerous foals for capitalism and freedom.”This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International,shield thought,making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes–finding guilty ones-editor of the News of the World,Andy Coulson,for conspiring to hack phones,and finding his predecessor,Rebekah Brooks,innocent of the same charge–the winder issue of dearth of integrity still standstill,Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people.This is hacking on an industrial scale,as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire,the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking.Others await trial.This long story still unfolds.In many respects,the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom,wow little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired wow the stories arrived.The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today’s world,title has become normal that well—paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation,the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency,flexibility,shareholder value,business–friendly,wealth generation,sales,impact and,in newspapers,circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice fairness,tolerance,proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories,but she asked no questions,gave no instructions—nor received traceable,recorded answers.
    The author believes the Rebekah Books’s deference

    A.revealed a cunning personality
    B.centered on trivial issues
    C.was hardly convincing
    D.was part of a conspiracy

    答案:C
    解析:
    观点例证根据题干中的“defence”可以回文定位到文章第四段最后一句话。该句指出Ms.Brooks辩护成功的关键在于她对这个事件一无所知(she knew nothing)。而作者在该段第一句话中指出,诚信缺失不仅体现在普遍存在的手机黑客这一事实上,更体现在一些审判案件所使用的条款上,其中最震惊的就是对Ms.Brooks的审判。可见,作者对该案的审判持否定态度,认为该审判是诚信缺失的一个体现。因此,认为她的辩护是不可信的。故正确答案为C。选项A是对Ms.Brooks的个人评价,而作

    A.the consequences of the current sorting mechanism
    B.companies’financial loss due to immoral practices.

    答案:
    解析:
    事实细节通过题干可以将此题锁定在前两段。第一段指出Elisabeth谈到了“在很多机构中都存在着令人沮丧的诚信缺失”。接下来第二句指出造成这种诚信缺失的原因是:大家普遍认同了社会中唯一的分类机制(sorting mechanism)应该是利益和市场。即诚信缺失是由社会的分类机制所导致的,这正是让Elizabeth感到烦心的事情。故正确答案为A the consequences of the current sorting mechanism(目前这种分类机制的后果)。其中题干中的upset是原文

    Paragraph 5 supports which of the following inferences about the commercial revolution between AD 1000 and 1300?( )

    A.It had very little impact on social attitudes and values.
    B.It brought about major political changes throughout Europe.
    C.It lessened the influence of the church.
    D.It increased the population of small towns.

    答案:A
    解析:
    推断题。根据题干关键词commercial revolution定位到文章第五段第一、二句。题干要求根据第五段内容选出关于商业革命的合理推断,需要根据上下文做出合理的逻辑分析。第五段阐述了商业革命带来的社会影响。B项“给整个欧洲带来了重大的政治变革”,原文并没有说明商业革命是否导致政治变革,故B项错误。第五段倒数第二句指出贵族阶层和教士决定主导的社会态度、价值观、思想和行为模式。因此C项“减轻了教会的影响”与原文不符。D项“增加了小城镇的人口”与原文Most towns remained small不符。A项“对社会态度和价值观的影响很小”,根据第五段最后两句可知,十一世纪的商业革命改变的是城市文化生活,对社会态度和价值观的影响甚微,A项表述正确。故本题选A。参考译文:从十二世纪六十年代开始,欧洲北部新银矿的开发促使了大量银币的铸造和流通。现金的广泛使用极大地增加了国际贸易量。贸易的业务流程发生了根本性的变化。以前,游商一个人几乎要负责贸易业务的各个方面,后来就演变成了三种不同角色的商人各司其职的运作模式:店商负责“总部”的运转,出资并组织管理公司整体进出口贸易业务;专职的货运人员负责通过陆路和海路运输货物;居住在国外城市的公司代理商,根据总部的建议,负责销售和采购。以前,一个商人就能监管贸易过程的所有事项,并且买卖双方能直接商定价格进行交易,商业信函并没有什么作用。但分工明确后,商业信函开始大量出现。之后,商业城市之间常规的快递服务开始兴起。当企业不得不开始与股东、制造商、客户、分支机构、员工和竞争对手打交道时,商业会计就变得更加复杂。道路通行费变高,高到足以为所谓的道路改革提供资金,道路改革包括建造新的路面和桥梁、穿过阿尔卑斯山的新隧道,以及为旅客提供的新旅馆和招待所。商家间的相互信任促进了赊销(先收货后付款)的增长,从而促进了金融领域的新发展:比如汇票的产生,使耗时长且有风险的长途硬币运输变得不再必需。德国汉萨同盟的商业探索活动很好地体现了这些进步。汉萨同盟是欧洲城镇的商业协会,可追溯到1159年。到十四世纪末,该同盟迅速扩大到包括荷兰和波兰在内的约200个城市。沿着波罗的海和北海的常规、明确的贸易路线,同盟城市的船只运输大量的毛皮、蜡、铜、鱼、谷物、木材和酒。这些货物主要用于交换西部城市的其他成品,主要是布料和盐。在布鲁日和伦敦等城市,汉萨商人获得了特殊的贸易优惠,免除了所有通行费,并允许他们在当地的集市售卖商品。汉萨商人建立了国外贸易中心,其中最著名的是“伦敦钢院”,一个有仓库、办公室、教堂、公司代表住处的封闭社区。到了十三世纪末,汉萨商人开发了一种重要的商业技术,即商业登记。商人们公开记录他们的债务和合同,并且会得到同盟的担保。这种方式在北欧地区的信贷和商业发展中起到了决定性的作用。这些发展进步被一位现代学者称为“商业革命”。从长远来看,中世纪的商业革命(公元1000年~1300年)给欧洲社会带来了根本性的变化。其中一个显著的变化是,商人只占人口的一小部分,不到10%。但是他们带来的影响却远远超过了10%这个数字。商业革命创造了大量的新财富,这意味着人们会有更高的生活水平。财富的存在并没有逃过国王和其他统治者的眼睛。财富需要纳税,通过征税,国王可以创造出强大的中央集权国家。在之后的几年内,与中产阶级的联盟关系使国王能够削弱贵族的利益,并建立了“现代”国家。商业革命还为成千上万的农业工人提供了提高社会地位的机会。欧洲社会从几乎完全孤立的农村向相对更加城镇化的情况开始缓慢但稳定地转变,这是十一世纪的商业革命带来的最大影响。尽管如此,除意大利中部和北部地区以及弗兰德斯郡以外,商人们并没有掌控中世纪的社会。大多数城镇规模依然很小。贵族阶层和教会人士决定了主导的社会态度、价值观、思想及行为模式。然而,十一至十四世纪的商业变革确实为城市生活和文化的发展奠定了经济基础。

    Practice 2  The object of this essay is to assert one very simple principle as entitled to govern absolutely the dealings of society with the individual in the way of compulsion and control, whether the means used be physical force in the form of legal penalties, or the moral coercion of public opinion. That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind is warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of others, to do so would be wise, or even right. These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise. To justify that, the conduct from which it is desired to deter him must be calculated to produce evil to someone else. The only part of the conduct for anyone, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his dependence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

    本文的目的是要力主一条极其简单的原则,使凡属社会以强制和控制方法对付个人之事,不论所用手段是法律惩罚方式下的物质力量或者是公众意见下的道德压力,都要绝对以它为准绳。这条原则就是:人类之所以有理有权可以各别地或者集体地对其中任何分子的行动自由进行干涉,唯一的目的只是自我防卫。这就是说,对于文明群体中的任一成员,所以能够施用一种权力以反其意志而不失为正当,唯一的目的只是要防止对他人的危害。若说为了那人自己的好处,不论是物质上的或者是精神上的好处,那不成为充足的理由。人们不能强迫一个人去做一件事或者不去做一件事,说因为这对他比较好,因为这会使他比较愉快,因为这在别人的意见认为是聪明的或者甚至是正当的;这样不能算是正当。所有这些理由,若是为了向他规劝,或是为了和他辨理,或是为了对他说服,以至是为了向他恳求,那都是好的;但只是不能借以对他实行强迫,或者说,如果他相反而行的话便要使他遭受什么灾祸。要使强迫成为正当,必须是所要对他加以吓阻的那宗行为将会对他人产生祸害。任何人的行为,只有涉及他人的那部分才须对社会负责。在仅只涉及本人的那部分,他的独立性在权利上则是绝对的。对于本人自己,对于他自己的身和心,个人乃是最高主权者。

    答案:C
    解析:
    推理判断作者在最后一段前两句话指出,新闻报道的目的不是为了促进读者的理解,也不是为了追求公平或者违背人类共有的人性,而是通过追求发行量的影响率来破坏人们的生活。即文章从一开始指出的一个问题,为了追求利益而造成了诚信的丧失。从“ruin”一词可以看出,作者对新闻记者的这一行为持否定的态度。并且通过Ms.Brooks女士的行为加以佐证。作者通过正话反说的方式,突出新闻报道过程中诚信的重要性。故正确答案为选项C moral awareness matters in editing a newspap

    单选题
    Passage1Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions. Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only sorting mechanismin society should be profit and the market. But it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit.Driving her point home, she continued:It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of The News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge-the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands. Jourmalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by The News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This long story still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations was  how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organisations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing The News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instruction-nor received traceable, recorded answers.The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows______.
    A

    generally distorted values

    B

    unfair wealth distribution

    C
