閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media，to a great extent，gives us our sense of reality.

Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty，fairness，accuracy and account-ability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility.

The media is powerful in the political system，having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image.

Professional journalists do have a code of ethics(道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn))．Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report，which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between“ethics of conviction”and“ethics of responsibility”．According to the latter(ethics of responsibility)，journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting，and the impact it will have on society.The former，on the other hand，asks journalists to tell the truth，regardless of the consequences.According to Weber，both ideas of ethics should be considered.

Without doubt，information is power，and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations，newspapers，magazines，and websites are，largely，owned and controlled by profit-making businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times.

It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers，readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by making our views known.

1.What's the first paragraph mainly about?

A．Responsibilities of the media.

B．Influence of the media.

C．History of the media.

D．Problems of the media.

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________．

A．the media is more interested in politics than other fields

B．forming social change is the main duty of the media

C．the great power of the media is controlled by political figures

D．the media can affect politics by forming political figures' images

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The mass media should be owned by the government.

B．The media industry has developed into a new age in recent years.

C．In most cases，journalists are more powerful than the owners of the media.

D．The media tends to promote the ideas of their owners sometimes.

Tony Morrison has won this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature. Tony Morrison is sixty-two years old. She was born in Lorain, Ohio. She is the daughter of farmers who moved to Ohio from the southern state of Alabama. She studied at Harvard University in Washington D.C. and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

Her first success came in 1970 with the book called The Bluest Eye. It tells the story of a young black girl in a society where golden hair and blue eyes are considered beautiful. Her next book was called Sulla. It tells the story of two black girls and pain in their lives as they grow up in a small town in Ohio. Her book The Song of Solomon is about a black man who tries to forget his past as a slave and begin a new life. And Tar Baby explores the relationship of a black man and a black woman. In the story the writer argues that black men and women can not get along with each other until they join together to fight racial hatred(種族仇視).?

At age 15，Winter Vinecki has already had more successes than most people have in their lifetime.“I recently completed a marathon on all seven continents and became the youngest person in the world to do so.And I was really doing this for my dad.”

Doctors discovered that Winter's father had a rare and deadly form of prostate(前列腺)cancer when she was nine years old.Then he died 10 months later.“When he was first diagnosed(診斷)with prostate cancer I immediately knew I had to do something to help him.That's when I formed Team Winter for prostate cancer research and awareness.”

Through Team Winter and social media，Winter Vinecki has raised almost 500，000 dollars.She has taken prostate cancer education worldwide through foot races called marathons，on seven continents.In the United States she travels continually to talk about prostate cancer and urge others to act.

Winter Vinecki attended a conference recently in Los Angeles，California and spoke at the conference as one of several teenagers who spoke about young people who were living extraordinary lives.

“So prostate cancer is much more common but men don't want to talk about it.So that is why a ten-year-old girl had to go out there and start talking about it for them.”

Another speaker was Jack Andraka who invented a sensor which is not as expensive as traditional equipment that can't be afforded by most common people.It can identify cancers of the pancreas(胰腺)and lungs.He was 15 at the time.

Jack is now 17 and seeking patents(專利)for his latest inventions.He has developed low-cost water quality equipment which can help identify and remove heavy metals and poisonous chemicals from water.
