单选题 NEW PRODUCT WILL SAVE LIVES Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr Adrian Parton, who started Genera Technology five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company. Andy Headland, Genera's marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecasts good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at ￡42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government. Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr Headland believes the company should make around ￡ 1.9 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.

单选题JAPAN INCREASES TRADE AND INVESTMENT IN ASIA Japan has been the most powerful country in Asia, but it had little trade with the Asian region until now. Now, Japan is doing more trade with Asia than with the rest of the world. In 1985 the US was Japan's main customer, Japan exported a third more to the US than to Asia. Now, Asia buys 30% more than the US and three times as much as Europe. Japanese imports from Asia increased by 150% between 1985 and 1995, Now, Japan's imports amount to $ 60 billion from Asia in 1993, compared to $ 50 billion from the US and $ 24 billion from Europe. In 1994, Japan invested $7.7 million in Asia. During the next few years, 75% of Japan's direct investment will be there. Japanese investment in the Asian region is now $ 64 billion, as against US investment of $ 26 billion, or German investment of $ 7 billion. Thailand expects new Japanese investment to reach $ 8 billion by 1998. Already, Japan controls 90% of Thailand's auto market. Labour costs in Japan are high, so Japanese companies are setting up in countries where workers get paid much less; an increasing number of Japan's employees now live outside Japan.

单选题 Few journalists or journalism scholars today would hazard calling upon the principle or ideal of objectivity. On the contrary, the majority rejects or denounces the concept in almost total unanimity. Aside from the fact that was shown in my article of 1991, the arguments against it do not {{U}}hold water{{/U}}. Be they epistemological, ontological, psychological, pragmatic, or ethical, one of the most puzzling aspects of this rejection of objectivity in journalism is that it seems to be taken both as an established fact and as a matter still requiring careful, if not to say obsessive, attention. If objectivity is really a myth and if it has been clearly demonstrated as such, why do scholars not move on rather than continue to cry out against the notion as if it still presented some danger despite its non-existence? Of late, the general attitude towards objectivity bears similarities to the attitude of those who denounce religion with a zeal that is essentially religious in nature. Another defining trait of modern criticism of objectivity is its lack of intellectual rigor. Much of the time, the notion is criticized but not defined. The idea that is rejected is not a clear, easily identified notion, but rather a vague intuition: the object under attack never precisely defined. Certainly, objectivity has different meanings according to differences of time or place, but this is all the more reason for those who wish to reject the notion to give at least a minimal definition of it. Without a definition, criticism of objectivity in journalism is characterized at best by slovenly intellectual practices, at worst by total lack of method. In the present paper, I confront the cliché that objectivity in journalism is useless, illusory, or artificial. My ultimate goal is to defend this much beleaguered concept, for I hold that the end of objectivity in journalism would spell the end of journalism itself. This paper explicitly advocates maintaining objectivity in journalism, but its defence must necessarily be based on a clear and precise definition of the concept. In other words, to defend objectivity in journalism, I believe it is necessary to provide what is lacking in the arguments of its detractors: a satisfactory definition. In working towards this definition, nay first step is to attempt to identify the aspects of journalism involving objectivity. One of the greatest problems in any discussion of objectivity in journalism is the ambiguous and elastic nature of the concept. Rarely do we bother to identify the aspects or elements of reporting to which the concept of objectivity can be applied. In other words, there is considerable confusion as to what, in journalism, is supposed to be objective. Inspired by the notion of "central range of application" used by John Rawls (1971) to describe the applicability of his principles of justice, I have adopted the term "area of application" to designate the areas in which a concept may be used. In short, the goal of the present article is to identify the area of application of objectivity in journalism. My approach is essentially negative: first, in a series of propositions, I shall identify those aspects of journalism to which matters of objectivity cannot apply. This should enable me to define the area of application of objectivity in journalism accurately enough to establish a minimal definition of the concept itself. This indirect approach also offers the advantage of bringing out the different ways in which the notion of objectivity is used, clearly demonstrating that certain criticisms and attacks are inappropriate because they are, in fact, misapplied. Analyzing objectivity in relation to an area to which it cannot be applied is a logical error. I shall call this type of error a "category mistake," a concept I encountered in the writings of Gilbert Ryle (1951). In my opinion, much scholarly writing criticizing objectivity in journalism is completely invalidated by the fact that it is based on a category mistake: it is based on the application of the concept of objectivity to an inappropriate aspect of reporting. Some of the propositions I put forward here concerning the area of application of objectivity in journalism may seem banal or even self-evident. However, they must be established in order to carry out a methodical and comprehensive analysis.

单选题· Read the newspaper article below about business telecard· For questions 23-28, choose the correct answer.· Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. {{B}}BUSINESS TELECARD INTERNATIONAL{{/B}} You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls. You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialling calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes mere time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a "person-to-person" call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free. You can save money by calling outside office hours, e. g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem; change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer. If you are unsure about the time, the operator will help you. You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.
