2.单选题
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnection between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-sized cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses (奔驰车), and trade stocks, and they are less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor rep ortorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums (讨论会) and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
2. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be ______.
3. As for the survey, which of the following statements is true?
4. The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their ______.
5. Despite its efforts, the newspaper industry still cannot satisfy the readers owing to its ______.

问题4选项
A.working attitude
ck of reporting skills
C.world outlook
cational background
问题5选项
A.failure to realize its real problem
B.tendency to hire annoying reporters
C.likeliness to do inaccurate reporting
D.prejudice in matters of race and gender
【答案】第1题:B
第2题:D
第3题:D
第4题:C
第5题:A
【解析】1.主旨大意题。

文章开头提出了为什么许多美国人不相信自己在报纸上读到的内容这个问题，接着分析了造成公众对报纸失望的根本性原因。

因此B选项“公众对报纸失望的原因”最能概括文章主旨。

A选项“世界各地读者的需求”，C选项“报业衰落的根源”，D选项“新闻业可信度项目的目标”在文中均没有提及，所以A, C, D错误。

2.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章第二段第一句Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes（遗憾的是，这次项目只获得了一些肤浅的发现，诸如新闻报道中的事实错误，拼写或语法错误），说明可信度项目获得的结果是低级、肤浅的。

因此D选项“相当肤浅”正确。

A选项“非常值得信赖”，B选项“有点矛盾”，C选项“非常有趣”均不符合题意，所以A, B, C错误。

3.客观细节题。

A选项“被调查的居民是事先决定的”，由原文Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.（然后随机地给这些城市的居民打电话，询问他们同样的问题。

）可知，被调查的居民是随机确定的，所以A错误。

B选项“对5个城市的居民进行调查”，由原文In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-sized cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area.（在最近一次调查中，问卷被送到了全国五座中等城市及一座大都市的记者手中。

）可知，是对五个中等城市和一个大城市，共6个城市的居民进行调查，所以B错误。

C选项“调查显示，记者和他们的读者有着相同的生活方式”，由原文Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks（人们的回答表明，与其他美国人相比，新闻记者更有可能居住在高级社区，有女佣，有奔驰车，炒股）可知，记者和普通读者的生活方式不一样，所以C错误。

由D选项关键词“church”可以定位到文章第五段最后一句and they are less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.（而记者去教堂，参加自愿服务，扎根某个社区的可能性却很小。

），说明记者和普通读者不一样，很少去教堂，也就是说普通居民可能会经常去教堂。

因此D选项“居民的回答表明，教堂很可能是他们的聚集地”正确。

4.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章倒数第二段第二句The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.（对新闻媒体的这种令人震惊的不信任的根源不在于报道失实或低下的报道技巧，而在于记者与读者的世界观每天都发生着碰撞。

），说明记者与读者世界观的冲突引起了人们对报纸的不信任，是基本问题所在。

因此C选项“世界观”正确。

A选项“工作态度”，B选项“缺乏报道技巧”，D选项“教育背景”都不是最基本的问题，所以A, B, D错误。

5.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章最后一段第四句But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about.（但它似乎从来就没有时间去注意那么多老顾客所抱怨的文化和阶级偏见。

），说明尽管报纸行业做出了许多努力，但他们没有意识到真正的问题在于文化和阶级偏见。

因此A选项“没有意识到其真正的问题”正确。

B选项“倾向于雇用令人讨厌的记者”，C选项“倾向于做不准确的报道”，D选项“在种族和性别问题上的偏见”都不是根本的原因，所以B, C, D错误。

3.单选题
For decades, arms-control talks centered on nuclear weapons. This is hardly surprising, since a single nuclear bomb can destroy an entire city. Yet, unlike smaller arms, these immensely powerful weapons have not been used in war in over 50 years.
Historian John Keegan writes: “Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945, killed no one. The 50,000,000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap, mass-produced weapons and small ammunition, costing little more than the transistor radios which have flooded the world in the same period. Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train.
Why have small arms become the weapons of choice in recent wars? Part of the reason lies in the relationship between conflict and poverty. Most of the wars fought during the 1990s took place in countries that are poor—too poor to buy sophisticated weapon systems. Small arms and light weapons are a bargain. For example, 50 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of a single modern jet fighter, can equip an army with 200,000 assault rifles. Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal. A single rapid-fire assault rifle can fire hundreds of rounds a minute. They are also easy to use and maintain.
A child of ten can be taught to strip and reassemble a typical assault rifle. A child can also quickly learn to aim and fire that rifle into a crowd of people.
The global traffic in guns is complex. The illegal trade of small arms is big. In some African wars, paramilitary groups have bought billions of dollars’ worth of small arms and light weapons, not with money, but with diamonds seized from diamond-mining areas.
Weapons are also linked to the illegal trade in drugs. It is not unusual for criminal organizations to use the same routes to smuggle drugs in one direction and to smuggle guns in the other.
1. It is implied in the passage that ______.
2. The advanced world neglect the problems of small arms because ______.
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the prevalence of small arms?
4. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
5. The best title for this passage is ______.
问题1选项
A.the nuclear arms-control talks can never reach an agreement
B.small arms-control is more important than nuclear arms-control
C.the power of nuclear weapons to kill people has been diminished
D.nuclear weapons were the topic of arms-control talks 50 years ago
问题2选项
A.they have to deal with drug-dealing and political terrorism
B.they have no such problems as are caused by small weapons
C.they face other more important problems such as pollution
D.they have not recognized the seriousness of the problems in time
问题3选项
A.Small arms are cheap.
B.Small arms are powerful.
C.Small arms are easier to use.
D.Small arms are easier to get.
问题4选项
A.small arms are not expensive in the black-market
B.it is unfair to exchange small arms for diamond
C.criminals use the same passage to smuggle drugs and small arms
D.where there are drugs, there are small arms
问题5选项
A.Small Arms Talks, Not Nuclear Arms Talks
B.Neglect of Small Arms Control
C.Global Traffic in Small Arms
D.Small Arms, Big Problems
【答案】第1题:B
第2题:D
第3题:D
第4题:C
第5题:D
【解析】1.由题干可以定位到文章第二段第一、二句Nuclear weapons have, since August 9, 1945, killed no one. The 50,000,000 who have died in war since that date have for the most part, been killed by cheap, mass-produced weapons and small ammunition（自1985年8月9日以来，没有一个人死于核武器。

而在这一时期却有5000万人死于廉价的、大规模生产的武器和小型爆炸物），说明小型武器的滥用已经造成了比核武器还严重的后果，应该重视小型武器的控制。

因此B选项“小型武器控制比核武器控制更重要”正确。

A选项“核武器控制谈判不可能达成协议”，C选项“核武器的杀伤力已经减弱了”，D选项“核武器是50年前军控谈判的主题”在文中均没有提及，所以A, C, D错误。

2.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章第二段第三句Because small weapons have disrupted life very little in the advanced world, outside the restricted localities where drug-dealing and political terrorism flourish, the populations of the rich states have been slow to recognize the horror that this pollution has brought in its train.（由于小型武器对发达世界的国家影响很小，毒品交易和政治恐怖盛行的地方在他们生活的圈子之外，因此富国的人们很难意识到小型武器泛滥所带来的严重性。

），说明先进国家的人们没有及时地意识到小型武器问题的严重性。

因此D选项“他们没有及时认识到这些问题的严重性”正确。

A选项“他们要处理毒品交易和政治恐怖主义问题”，由原文可知，他们的生活圈子中没有毒品交易和政治恐怖主义，所以A错误。

B选项“他们没有由小武器引起的这种问题”，C选项“他们面临其他更重要的问题，如污染”在文中没有提及，所以B, C错误。

3.客观细节题。

A选项“小型武器很便宜”，由原文Small arms and light weapons are a bargain.（小型武器和轻武器很便宜。

）可知，A属于小型武器盛行的原因，排除A。

B选项“小型武器有威力”，由原文Another reason why small weapons are so popular is that they are lethal.（小型武器如此流行的另一个原因是它们是致命的。

）可知，B属于小型武器盛行的原因，排除B。

C选项“小武器更容易使用”，由原文They are also easy to use and maintain.（它们也易于使用和维护。

）可知，C属于小型武器盛行的原因，排除C。

D选项“小型武器更容易得到”在文中没有提及，因此本题选D。

4.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章最后一段第二句It is not unusual for criminal
in the other.（通常犯罪组织利用同一渠道一个方向走私毒品另一方向走私枪支。

），说明犯罪组织利用同一渠道走私毒品和枪支。

因此C选项“犯罪分子利用同一渠道走私毒品和小型武器”正确。

A 选项“小型武器在黑市上并不昂贵”，原文没有说小型武器在黑市上的价格，所以A错误。

B选项“用小型武器换钻石是不公平的”，原文只介绍了用钻石购买小型武器的事件，没有评价其是否公平，所以B错误。

D选项“有毒品的地方就有小型武器”，原文只提到利用同一渠道走私毒品和小型武器，没有说两者必然同时存在，所以D错误。

5.主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，文章阐述了小型武器给社会带来的极大危害，造成了大量人民生命财产的损失。

因此D选项“小武器，大问题”最适合作为文章标题。

A选项“小型武器谈判，而不是核军备谈判”，B选项“对小型武器控制的忽视”，C选项“小型武器的全球交易”只是文章的一个方面，不能全面地概括文章的内容，所以A, B, C错误。

4.单选题
After the very active and successful tenure (任职) of office by the Senegalese President as the head of the Organization of African Unity, it was highly logical to think that the successor, whoever he might be, would have a difficult task in doing a better job.
The Congolese president set to work as soon as he was elected. His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of State present in the Ethiopian capital, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa. Its aim: to define a strategy in order to overcome the reprisals (报复行为) that the racist regime of Pretoria is likely to take against its neighbors in case sanctions (制裁) are imposed by the international community.
President Sassou Ngueso has already undertaken a number of trips abroad. He thus went to Harare (Zimbabwe) where he delivered a speech, on September 1, on behalf of Africa before the summit meeting of non-aligned (不结盟的) nations.
At the end of September, he was in New York, for a statement before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and then in Washington, for talks with high-ranking members of the Reagan Administration. He then went to Ottawa, for consultations with leading members of the Canadian government.
The Congolese president’s aim, in all these endeavors, is to convince still reluctant countries of the imperious necessity of imposing sanctions against the racist regime of Pretoria.

6.单选题
From its birth in 1981 with just two employees, the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation had become one of the world’s largest sovereign funds, managing more than $100 billion in assets, with 900 employees in eight offices around the world. It is larger even than Temasek Holdings, the government’s better-known fund. Temasek gained attention with its $1.9 billion purchase of a controlling stake in Thailand’s dominant telecommunications company from the family of the country’s p rime minister. That helped stir street protests that led to a coup d’état (政变) there last year.
The stake was part of a broader expansion started in mid-2002 by the company’s executive director, Ho Ching, formerly head of government-owned Singapore Technologies and wife of Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong. Aimed at reviving Temasek’s financial performance in the wake of a recession, Temasek has since taken large stakes in banks as distant as India, China and the Standard Chartered Bank of Britain. Temasek says its investments are purely for financial purposes despite its ownership by the government. Nonetheless, it has run into political headwinds (逆风) in the region. An Indonesian court recently ruled that it would have to sell one of the controlling stakes it holds, one directly and the other through a subsidiary, in the country’s two dominant cellular telephone companies.
Over the last few years, Singapore has embarked on an aggressive effort to court private banks and their clients as a way of diversifying the economy as manufacturing jobs were shifting to China and Vietnam, turning the country into an Asian asset base. There are already at least 40 private banks with offices in Singapore, managing assets worth at least $150 billion. With many wealthy Europeans shifting assets to Singapore from Switzerland to take advantage of rapid Asian growth and avoid new withholding taxes in Europe, the European authorities have stepped up criticism of Singapore’s banking system, saying that Singapore needed to tighten controls against money laundering.
Singaporean financial authorities say they do not condone money laundering and recently stepped up fines against banks found to be involved in illicit financial activity. The Government Investment Corporation, known as G.I.C., is controlled by the state, and Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, is its chairman. His son, the current prime minister, is deputy chairman. Tony Tan, its executive director, is a former deputy prime minister.
Both Temasek and G.I.C. have aggressively recruited top international financial talent, and G.I.C. in particular has a reputation among bankers and analysts as a shrewd and powerful investor. More than 40 percent of its employees are not Singaporean. Its investment panel includes Charles Ellis, chairman of the Yale University Investment Committee, and Robert Litterman, a managing director of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Despite managing public funds, G.I.C. does not publicize its holdings or returns. Last year on its 25th anniversary, Lee Kuan Yew offered the company’s first financial disclosure, reporting that G.I.C. had averaged a 9.5 percent annual return in United States dollar terms over its lifetime.
1. The passage mainly discusses about ______.
2. Form the first paragraph, it can be inferred that ______.
3. Which one of the following statements is TRUE of Temasek Holdings?
4. Many Europeans shift assets to Singapore due to the following reasons except ______.
5. The word “condone” most probably means ______.
问题1选项
A.Singapore’s financial strategy in recent years
B.conditions about the two large government funds in Singapore
C.the transformation or evolution of Singapore’s banking system
D.the close relation between Singapore’s financial system and the gove rnment
问题2选项
A.Singaporeans are against the purchase of controlling stake in Thailand’s telecommunications company
B.Singaporeans think that Temasek’s purchase is indeed a political deal
C.Singaporeans think that Temasek’s purchase will make them hav e a loss
D.Thais are reluctant to let Temasek to control their telecommunications company
问题3选项
A.Temasek Holdings seems to be quite reluctant to interfere within the political issue of the countries it invests into.
B.Temasek Holdings will sell one of the controlling stakes in Indonesian mobile telephone companies directly and through a subsidiary.
C.Temasek Holdings conducts such expansion in order to change its depression.
D.Temasek Holdings has not only subtle relations with Singapore’s politica l elite, but also those of neighboring countries.
问题4选项
A.they want to invest into Asia so as to gain more profits
B.they want to conduct money laundering by tactically avoiding taxes
C.they want to carry out illegal financial activity in Asia
D.they think the investment environment in Europe is not attracting
问题5选项
A.encourage
B.allow
C.remit
D.permit
【答案】第1题:B
第2题:D
第3题:C
第4题:B
第5题:C
【解析】1.主旨大意题。

结合全文可知，文章主要分析了新加坡两大政府基金的情况，同时也提到了新加坡的金融策略、经济转型问题，但主要还是围绕这两大基金来谈论的。

因此B选项“新加坡两大政府基金的情况”符合文章主旨。

A选项“新加坡近些年来的金融策略”，C选项“新加坡金融系统的转型或发展”，D选项“新加坡的金融系统与政府之间的密切关系”只是文章某一部分的内容，不能全面地概括文章主旨，所以A, C, D错误。

2.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章第一段最后一句That helped stir street protests that led to a coup d’état there last year.（这引发了街头抗议，并导致了去年的政变。

），说明泰国人不愿意让淡马锡控制他们的电信公司。

因此D选项“泰国人不愿意让淡马锡控制他们的电信公司”正确。

A选项“新加坡人反对购买泰国电信公司的控股股权”，B选项“新加坡人认为淡马锡的收购行为实际上是有政治意向的”，C选项“新加坡人认为淡马锡的收购行为会给他们带来损失”均不符合题意，所以A, B, C错误。

3.客观细节题。

A选项“淡马锡基金看起来非常不愿意干涉它所投资国家的政治事务”在原文中没有提及，所以A错误。

B选项“淡马锡会将自己在印度移动电话公司的控股股权直接和通过子公司的方式卖出”，由原文one directly and the other through a subsidiary（一种为通过其子公司控股）可知，它是直接通过子公司来控股，而不是卖出股份，所以B错误。

D选项“淡马锡基金不仅与新加坡的政治精英阶层有微妙的关系，而且与邻国的关系也非常微妙”，原文提到了该基金与政府的关系，也提到了其在周边邻国的投资，但没有说关系很微妙，所以D错误。

C选项“淡马锡基金声称本基金完全独立于政府之外，进行有效的自治”，由原文Aimed at reviving Temasek’s financial
performance in the wake of a recession, Temasek has since taken large stakes in banks as distant as India, China and the Standard Chartered Bank of Britain.（淡马锡为了在经济萧条后重振雄风，从那时开始就在印度、中国、英国的渣打银行持有大量股份。

）可知，该基金为了在萧条后重振雄风，才到其他地方购买股份，这属于一种自治，所以C选项正确。

4.客观细节题。

由题干可以定位到文章第三段最后一句With many wealthy Europeans shifting assets to Singapore from Switzerland to take advantage of rapid Asian growth and avoid new withholding taxes in Europe, the European authorities have stepped up criticism of Singapore’s banking system, saying that Singapore needed to tighten controls against money laundering.（许多富有的欧洲人都将资产从瑞士转移到新加坡以分享亚洲经济快速增长的盛宴，并且逃避欧洲的新税收，因此欧洲一些政府都在批评新加坡的银行体系，称新加坡需要加紧控制洗钱。

），说明许多欧洲人将资产转移到新加坡是为了在亚洲投资以获取利润以及避税，所以A选项“他们想要在亚洲投资以获得更丰厚的利润”，D选项“他们认为欧洲的投资环境不那么有吸引力”属于他们转移资产的原因，排除A, D。

C选项“他们想要在亚洲从事非法的金融活动”，由原文可知，从一些欧洲当局的批评以及新加坡的回应可以看出部分资金是用来进行非法交易的，所以C选项属于转移资产的原因，排除C。

B选项“他们想要通过巧妙避税来洗钱”，原文只是说想要避税，而不是通过避税来洗钱，所以B选项不属于转移资产的原因，本题选B。

5.语义推测题。

由题干关键词“condone”可以定位到文章第四段第一句Singaporean financial authorities say they do not condone money laundering and recently stepped up fines against banks found to be involved in illicit financial activity.（新加坡财政部称他们不会宽恕洗钱活动，最近还对那些发现涉及非法金融活动的银行加大了处罚。

），说明“condone”在文中是指“宽恕，容忍”的意思。

因此C选项“宽恕”正确。

A选项“鼓励”，B选项“允许”，D选项“同意”均不符合题意，所以A, B, D错误。
