单选题 An attempt towards the rectification of the rot that has set in the social and national life of the country is being made, with great enthusiasm, through judicial activism. However judicial activism alone does not suffice for the rectification of this all-pervading malaise. What is urgently needed is the support of other social agencies/institutions. A very important role in this matter can be played by media activism, the topic under discussion today.
It is undoubtedly true that the position of media or journalism is not that of a mission but of a commercial industry. The truth of the matter, however, is that our present journalism is used to presenting only half side of the picture. This is the root cause of all our problems. In view of the present circumstances media activism would amount to present a balanced reporting of the situation abandoning the present policy of selective reporting.
The principle of modern journalism can be understood from this saying: "When a dog bites a man it is no news, but when a man bites a dog, it is news". One practical example of this method is provided by our present journalism which is constantly engaged in giving maximum coverage to any hot news created by an unruly section of Muslims. If the percentage of hot news forms only one percent the percentage of soft news is not less than 99 percent. But the readers of the newspapers aretotally in the dark about this 99 percent of the picture, whereas the one percent is being repeated. Similarly if an extremist Hindu creates hot news, this will find a place in all the newspapers the next day. Whereas even in the Hindu world there is 99 percent soft news while hot news forms not more than one percent.
As a result of this one sided study, unreal opinion is formed by both the communities regarding one another. Taking extreme forms this unreal opinion at times turns into communal riots. The selective reporting of this nature remains a permanent obstacle to the path of national integration.
For the rectification of this state of affairs a powerful journalists organization-as we already have formed for our rights-based on the principles of social responsibilities is required. Media Relations Forum is an organization which aims at working for this goal.
Along with this I should like to put forward a proposal for bringing about an atmosphere of support and cooperation between the newspapers and social workers. Whenever a rumor spreads or a group indulges in any activity which may lead to disrupting peace, social workers should immediately engage themselves in a thorough investigation of the matter and then through the full support of the newspapers the actual version is published in the newspapers. This is the only way to maintain peace and harmony in communities.

单选题 The word "malaise" (Line 3, Paragraph 1) most probably means ______.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 词义题；我们首先从原文找到该词出现的句子进行分析，“judicial activism alone does not suffice for the rectification of this all-pervading malaise”，单纯从句子之中我们还不能确定malaise的确切含义。我们再从段落中寻找线索，rectification、rot等词和段落的语气，
都是在讨论对malaise进行修正需要各方面的努力，包括媒体，所以我们可以推测，malaise表示的应该是“问题”的意思，所以4个选项之中，A选项是正确的。

单选题 Which one of the following is the characteristic of the current reporting?

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 细节题；由于第一题的分析集中在第一段，我们从第二段开始阅读。比较阅读4个选项，A选项是对原文的“commercial industry'’的误解。B选项的balanced reporting 确实在原文中出现，但是在原文中是以“media activism would amount to present a balanced reporting”呈现的，也就是对未来的预期，而和题目中“current reporting"是不符合的。C选项的 selective reporting在原文中是“the present policy of selective reporting”，而present则是题目中要求的current的同义表达，所以C选项是我们需要的正确答案。D选项在原文中没有体现，比较容易排除。

单选题 The example of the reports about Muslims is used to ______.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 例证题；在原文的第三段中我们可以找到有关Muslims的内容，我们首先关注 Muslims出现的段落在探讨什么问题，在这里Muslims是作为对“When a dog bites a man it is no news，but when a man bites a dog，it is news”这句老话进行分析的时候出现的，而作者的态度则在原文的“an unruly section of Muslims"有所体现，我们再对原文第三段进行分析，后面的论述的意思可以归纳为媒体以对Muslims的报道为例，证明现在的报道是一种片面的报道，这也符合我们在对第二题进行解答的过程中得到的结论。比较4个选项，C选项是正确的，A选项所提到的Hindu在原文中确实出现，但是是作为另外一个例子出现的，而并非要对其与Muslims进行比较，需要考生体会。B选项和D选项和原文的主旨距离较远，比较容易排除。

单选题 From the passage, we know that Media Relation Forum is ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 细节题；作为专有名词的“Media Relation Forum”可以方便地帮助我们在原文中进行定位，在原文的第五段我们可以找到这个专有名词，原文中有“Media Relations Forum is an organization which aims at working for this goal"这样的表述，我们只要确定了这里所说的“this goal"所代表的内容就可以解答该题，我们向上进行寻找，在第五段可以看到“For the rectification of this state of affairs”，而结合前文我们的分析和题目的回答，我们知道这里所说的“this state of affairs"指的是前文一直在探讨的媒体的“selective reporting'’问题。而后面又出现了“principles of social responsibilities”这样直接的表达。接下来比较阅读4个选项，B选项是正确的。
