Passage 1

Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch′s daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the"unsettling dearth ofintegrity across so many of our institutions". Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of acollective 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 dangerousgoals for capitalism and freedom." This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companiessuch as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it hadwith widespread illegal telephone hacking.

As the hacking trial concludes--finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, AndyCoulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent ofthe same charge--the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands. Journalists are known to havehacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as wasacknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the pointperson 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 widespreadphone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations washow little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask andthe fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was thatshe knew nothing.

In today′s world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable forwhat happens in the organisations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For ageneration, the collecti

答案: C
本题解析:

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》的目的不是促进读者的理解,也不是在所写的内容中追求公平或者违背任何共同的人性.而是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。
