19、

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。题目询问读者期待在报纸中读到什么，要求排除不正确的一

项。文章第一段指出，如今对新闻报道的要求是既有事实信息，也有对这些信息的

解释，但并未提到读者想要知道如何解释新闻，故选A。

20、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推断题。第一段第二句提到，现在的新闻必须提供更多的内容，必须

提供对事实的解释；第三句提到，美国新闻业面临的最重要的任务是让读者清楚当

今的问题，使国际新闻和社区新闻一样容易理解，意识到不再有所谓的“地方”新

闻，因为国际事件都会有地方影响，由此推断，当今对新闻内容的要求更高了，所

以D正确。

21、

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推断题。第三段提到，反对解释新闻的人认为，新闻工作者应该仅仅

报道事实，因此引发了叶么是事实以及仅仅有事实是否足够的问题；第四段作者又

指出，所谓的新闻事实其实本身就包括新闻工作者的判断在里面；第五段提到，这

些判断和那些解释新闻时进行的判断在本质上是一致的，由此推断，作者认为那些

反对解释新闻的人的观点是十分狭隘的，所以B正确。

22、

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推断题。第四段提到，在进行新闻报道时，记者或者编辑根据新闻的

重要性做出判断和选择；第五段指出，这些判断和解释新闻时进行的判断在本质上

是相同的，由此推断，新闻报道和新闻解释的相似之处在于两者都需要记者和编辑

进行判断，所以C正确。A与原文直接相反，因为文章最后一段说它们两者都是

客观的，而非主观的；B、D原文并未提及。

23、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：主旨题v文章首段指出，现在需要对新闻进行解释；第二、三段介绍

了反对者的观点；第四、五段说明了报道新闻事实时需要进行判断，并指出解释新

闻需要进行同样的判断；最后一段点明，新闻报道和新闻解释都是客观的。综合可

知，本文一直在论证为叶么说对新闻的解释是客观的，故选D。A、B在原文中作

为例证细节出现，应排除；C原文未提及，也应排除。

A、TheThamesRiver.

B、TheSevernRiver.

C、TheClydeRiver.

D、TheMerseyRiver.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考查英国地理知识。英国著名的河流有塞文河(TheSevern

River),这是英格兰最长的河流，源自威尔士山地，注入大西洋；泰晤士河(The

ThamesRiver)这是英国的主要河流，源自英格兰西南部，向东流经伦敦后注入北

海；默西河(TheRiverMersey),源自英恪兰，注入爱尔兰海；泰河(TRiverTav)是

苏格兰流程最长的河流，源自格兰扁山脉的吕伊山(BenLui),注入北海；克莱德河

(TheClydeRiver)这是苏格兰坡重要的河流，源自苏格兰高地沼泽，注入大西洋。

由此可以看出题「•中问到的源自威尔士的最长河流只能是TheSevernRiver,[B]为

答案。

丰碑。小说以贵族青年贾宝玉、林黛玉的恋爱婚姻悲剧为主要线索，描写贾家荣、

宁两府这个封建贵族大家庭的衰亡败落。作者还通过这个家族的社会联系的描写，

笔触深入到封建社会的各个方面，生动地展开了封建社会走向腐朽没落这个特定历

史时期现实生活的广阔画面。从而，揭示了封建社会必然没落的历史发展规律。

atmosphereisbad,languagemustsuffer.

标准答案：政治与英语在我们这个时代，政治演讲和文章多半是为不可辩解的事

情进行辩解。像维持英国在印度的统治、俄国的清党和流放、在日本投掷原子弹这

样的事情・，确实是可以辩解的，不过只能用大多数人所不能接受的蛮横的论据，而

这乂不合那些政党所标榜的宗旨。因此，政治语言就不免主要由委婉含蓄的隐语、

偷换概念的诡辩和纯属掩饰的含糊其辞所组成。没有设防的村庄遭到空中轰炸，村

民被驱赶到荒野，牲畜被机枪扫射、茅屋被燃烧弹焚毁，这叫做绥靖。千百万的农

民被剥夺农田，身无长物，跋涉于途，这叫做转移人口或调整边境。未经审判即遭

长期监禁，或者后脑挨上一枪，或者被遣送到北极圈伐木营劳改而患坏血病致死，

这叫做消除不稳定因素。如果你要称谓某种事物而又不愿读者在心中联想起它们的

画画，这种用词是必要的。这种虚饰的文风本身就是一种隐语。一大堆带有拉丁

词根的词汇像雪花一样落在事实上，模糊了界线，掩盖了一切细节。不诚实乃是简

明语言的大敌。在一个人的真正意图和公开宣称的意图之间有距离时，他就会像出

于本能一样借助于大话和空话，就像墨鱼放墨汁。在我们这个时代，“不问政治''这

种事情是没有的。所有的问题都是政治问题，而政治本身又集谎话、借口、蠢事、

仇恨之大成」总气候一量恶化，语言就会受害。
