Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch"s daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the "unttling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions". Integrity had collapd, she argued, becau 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 abnce of purpo, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom." This same abnce of moral purpos
e was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lo its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.
As the hacking trial concludes—finding guilty one ex-editor of the stfuNews 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. 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 purpo 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 accountab
le for what happens in the organisations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprid. 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 purpo of editing the News of the World魔法禁书目录小说 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.（分数：20.00）

解析：[解析] 细节题。根据关键词定位到第一、二段。第一段伊丽莎白谈到了“我们很多机构都缺乏诚信是令人担忧的”。接下来第二句指出这是因为大家普遍认为社会中唯一的分类机制应该是利益和市场。而根据第一段最后一句可知，她认为“这是我们人类、是我们这样的人创造我们想要的社会，而不应该是利益”。可见，伊丽莎白很不认可目前的这种分类机制以及所造成的不良后果，这也正是她感到沮丧的原因。故A项为正确答案。B项“公司由于道德操守产生了财政损失”，C项“政府在道德问题上的无能为力”，D项“各大机构广泛存在的诚信误用”均不符合。

解析：[解析] 推断题。根据关键词定位到第三段。第三段第一句指出，安迪·库尔森由于密谋窃听电话而被判决有罪，然而他的前任却被判决无罪。通过这一事件，作者得出由此造成的道德沦丧问题依然广泛存在，即仍然存在一些人没有被判决有罪。接着文章指出记者们已经窃听多达5500人的电话…其他人在等待审判，由此可以推出，将会有更多的记者因为窃听电话而被判决有罪。故正确答案为B项。A项“格伦·穆尔凯尔可能会否认窃听电话是犯罪”，C项“安迪·库尔森应该在指控中被判决无罪”和D项“电话窃听在某些特定场合是可以被接受的”，均不符合题意。

&vealed a cunning personality.

C.was hardly convincing. visionary怎么用√
D.was part of a conspiracy.
解析：[解析] 细节题。根据关键词定位到第四段。根据该段末句“她成功辩护的关键就是她对此一无所知”可知，作者对该案的审判持否定态度。并且作者在该段第一句话中指出，丧失道德目的不仅体现在如此普遍的电话窃听这一事实上，也体现在案件审判所依据的法律条款上，其中最震惊的就是对利百加·布鲁克斯的审判。因此，作者认为她的辩护是不可信的。故正确答案为C项。A项“揭露了一个狡猾的人品”，B项“聚焦于琐碎的小事”和D项“是一个阴谋的一部分”均不符合题意。consulate

C.a marginalized lifestyle.
D.a rigid moral code.
解析：[解析] 推断题。根据关键词定位到第五段。该段第三句指出“社会的分类机制应该是
利润”，第四句说明，那些真正起作用的是那些表示利益的词如“效率、灵活性…”，而“被退化到边缘的词语是公正、公平…”，可见这种信条只关注利益，而忽略了公平与正义，这显然是一种扭曲的价值观。故A项为正确答案。B项“财富分配不公”，C项“一种边缘化的生活方式”和D项“一种严肃的道德标准”均不符合题意。
(5).Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?（分数：4.00）
A.The quality of writing is of primary importance.
B.Common humanity is central to news reporting.
C.Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper. √
D.Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.
解析：[解析] 推断题。根据关键词定位到最后一段。作者在最后一段前两句话指出“编辑《世界新闻》的目的不是为了促进读者的理解，也不是为了在所写的内容中追求公平或者违背任何共同的人性，而是为了通过追求发行量和影响力而破坏人们的生活”，即文章从一
开始就指出的一个问题，为了追求利益而造成了诚信的丧失。从ruin一词可以看出，作者对记者的这一行为持否定态度，并且通过布鲁克斯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C项，其中moral awareness和integrity是同义互换。A项“写作质量是最重要的”，B项“共同的人性是新闻报道的核心”和D项“记者需要更加严格的产业条例”，均不符合题意。
四、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：20.00)
All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal rvices in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today"s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work fearsomely hard.
Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conrvative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer, tho who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.
The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a
law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than rve clients ethically.
In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve rvices to customers, by encouraging law firms to u technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms" efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.（分数：20.00）
