What was the consequence of the editor's insistence on facts and statistics?Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their reader with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refuseto publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace'. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sentto prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that the he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.参考译文报刊杂志的编辑常常为了向读者提供成立一些关紧要的事实和统计数字而走向极端。

虽然大学平时在学习过程中多数的习惯是先看或听文章再做题，但在实际的考试过程中，为了节省答题时间以及加快阅读或听力时对文章的理解，我建议先看题再看文章。
现在让我们先看看题。
下面这十二道题主要考的是对文章的理解、结构和单词。
首先看理解部分。
【Multiple choice questions】多项选择题Comprehension1 The editor acted as he did because .a. he wanted an excuse to fire the journalistb. he had not read the article beyond the first sentencec. he was dissatisfied with the factual content of the articled. he wanted to please the president of the new African republic首先看问题，编辑这么做是因为……这里其实有两个问题需要大家从之后的文章中找出，编辑做了什么以及为什么这么做。
接着看答案A 他想找借口开除那个记者。
B 他只读了文章的第一句C 他对文章中的具体内容不满意D 他想取悦非洲某个新成立共和国的总统而从答案中我们大致可以判断这篇文章中出现的人物可能有the editor，the journalist and the president of new African republic。
}1. C2 The journalist took a long time to send the details required because .a. it took him a long time to count all the stepsb. he had not been allowed to fax the information he had obtainedc. he did not realize how soon the magazine would go to pressd. he had been arrested before he had had time to obtain the facts这道题也一样，只不过这里的人物只有一个，就是记者记者花了很长时间发送所需要的信息，那为什么花了这么长时间呢》A 因为他花了很长的时间去计算所有的台阶。
B 他不被允许将获得的信息传真出去。
C 他没有意识到杂志这么快就要印刷出版了D 在他获取数据前他就被捕了。
2. B3 Why had the journalist been arresteda. Because his activities must have appeared suspicious.b. For having gone to extremes to provide unimortant facts.；c. For climbing the palace wall in order to measure its height.d. Because the article was published in its original form.第三题，记者为什么会被捕呢A 肯定是因为他的行为太可疑了。
B 因为他为了提供不重要的数据而走极端了。
C 为了测量高度而爬了总统府的墙。
D 因为这篇文章是按最初的版本发表的。
3. A接下来的两部分是语法结构和单词。
这两部分其实跟文章的整体内容理解没有多大关系，因此我们可以在读完文章后再来直接答题。
那么我们现在就先来读读文章。
%Structure4 the first sentence, the editor refused to publish the article.a. Readingb. Having readc. He readd. Being read怎么样第一句话，编辑拒绝出版这篇文章。
这里其实是一句主从句，而空格显然需要的是非谓语动词，因为这句话的主语和谓语都是完整的，在后半句里，因为c选项是可以排除的。
而一般式的分词短语常用来表示该分词动作与主句动词动作同时或几乎同时发生。
而当分词的动作与主句动作有明显的先后顺序时我们就要用现在分词的完成时。
而看这句话的意思，编辑应该是看过第一句话之后才拒绝出版的，因此是有明显的先后顺序的。
所以正确答案是b。
4．B5 The magazine to press.a. wasb. had gonec. was about to god. was due这个杂志马上就要去印刷了。
这里只有c选择是表示即将要的意思，是瞬间将来时的表达，表示马上就要去做了；而a是be to do something，但在这里是不完整的，完整的应该是was to go to press。
