14、e plans in the APEC forum.二、BPART READING (总题数：7，分数：20.00)BTEXT A/BThe newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, unalloyed, unslanted, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more; it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is the most
15、important assignment confronting American journalism - to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news as understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing (with the possible exception of such scribbling as society and club news) as
16、 “local“ news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in manpower draft, in economic strain, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life.There is in journalism a widespread view that when you embark on interpretation, you are entering choppy and dangerous waters, the swirling
17、 tides of opinion. This is nonsense.The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine themselves to the “facts“. This insistence raises two questions: what are the facts? And: are the bare facts enough?As to the first query, consider how a so-called “factual“ story
18、comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space allotment being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten, which he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall constitute the lead of the piec
19、e. This is important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph. This is Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large impact, or on page twenty-four, where it has little. Judgment Number Th
20、ree.Thus, in the presentation of a so-called “factual“ or “objective“ story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporter and editor, calling upon their general background, and their “news neutralism“, arrive at a
21、 conclusion as to the significance of the news.The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, axe both objective rather than subjective processes - as objective, that is, as any human being can be. (Note in passing: even though complete objectivity can never be achieved,
22、 nevertheless the ideal must always be the beacon on the murky news channels.) If an editor is intent on slanting the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that prop up his particular plea. Or he can do it by the pa
23、y he gives a story - promoting it to page one or demoting it to page thirty.（分数：5.00）(1).Readers expect all of the following from newspapers EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.how to interpret newsB.what news meanC.local newsD.international news(2).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.news of loca

25、for the objectivity of news than supporters do.B.They have a narrow understanding of what facts mean.C.They doubt that news can be factual.D.They dont believe in the validity of interpreted news.(4).In what way are presentation and interpretation of news alike?（分数：1.00）A.They are both subjective.B.T

27、/BExtraordinary creative activity has been characterized as revolutionary, flying in the face of what is established and producing not what is acceptable but what will become accepted. According to this formulation, highly creative activity transcends the limits of an existing form and establishes a
28、 new principle of organization. However, the idea that extraordinary creativity transcends established limits is misleading when it is applied to the arts, even though it may be valid for the sciences.Differences between highly creative art and highly creative science arise in part from differences
29、in their goals. For the sciences, a new theory is the goal and end result of the creative act. Innovative science produces new propositions in terms of which diverse phenomena can be related to one another in more coherent ways. Such phenomena as a brilliant diamond or a nesting bird are relegated t
30、o the role of data, serving as the means for formulating or testing a new theory.

More generally, however, whether or not a composition establishes a new principle in the history of music has little bearing on its aesthetic worth. Because they embody a new principle of organization, some musical works,
34、 such as the operas of the Florentine Camerata, are of signal historical importance, but few listeners or musicologists would include these among the great works of music. On the other hand, Mozarts The Marriage of Figaro is surely among the masterpieces of music, even though its modest innovations
35、are confined to extending existing means. It has been said of Beethoven that he toppled the rules and freed music from the stifling confines of convention. But a close study of his compositions reveals that Beethoven overturned no fundamental rules. Rather, he was an incomparable strategist who expl
