Passage Two
When only one side of the news is regularly presented in newspaper, the reader may assume that ______.
A.the paper is a member of a large press association
B.the paper’s ethical standards are suspected
C.the paper is in financial trouble
D.the paper upholds a journalistic code of ethics
参考答案:B
解析:
[分析]: 推理判断题。 根据原文可知比较好的都市大报和大型报业的新闻报道通常是公正可信的,But the less ethical publications often deliberately“color” the news to favor or oppose certain groups or movements但不太遵守道德规范的报业常会故意使新闻带有偏见,支持或反对某些团体或运动。由此可推测如果某一报纸新闻总是一边倒,其读者会猜测其道德标准令人怀疑。因此选项B的内容与原文相符,该项是正确的。[解题关键] 1)同义词替换,原文中“color”the news与题干中one side of the news意思相当;2)通过表示转折的单词but判断其前后文的内在逻辑关系。本题中but前提到可信赖、遵守报业道德规范的报纸而该词后则指不遵守报业道德规范的报纸,由此可推测,读者对这类报纸应持怀疑态度,认为这类报纸是不可信的。
