For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western
creative.
“Its n’o secret that China has always been a source of inspiration f or designers, ” says Amanda
Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140
pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of
exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled
the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there
is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“Chinais impossible to overlook, s”ays Hill. “Chinesemodels are the faces of beauty and
fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are
not just consumers of fashion –they are central to its movement. ” Of course, not only are

top Western designers being influenced by China, but some of the best designers of contemporary
fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, JasotnakWinugaoren Galliano,

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.
“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,
she
“China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about
fashion today, you are talking about China –its influences, its directions, its breathtaking clothes,
and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways. ”

The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, pure, unprejudiced, 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 a very important assignment facing American journalists
community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as
becau
indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you start an
interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to
the “facts ”. This insistence raises two que:sWtiohnast are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?
As for the first question, consider how a so- called “factual ” story comes about. The reporter
collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space 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 make up the beginning of the article, which is an 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 influence, or on page twenty four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three.
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
reporters and editors, calling upon their research resources, their general background, and their
“news neutralism ”, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news.
–to make
“local ” news,
clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understandable as
event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms,
高三英语 第 8 页 共 16 页

The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective
and subjective processes. If an editor is determined to give a prejudiced view of 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 support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the place he gives a story
promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty.
43. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. If a reporter makes clear the facts he writes, he will no doubt get into trouble.
B. Journalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers.
C. The most important task of reporters is to provide unprejudiced facts for the readers.
D. For reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts.
44. The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because __________.
A. it will influence the reader to continue
B. most readers read only the first paragraph
C. it details the general attitude of the writer
D. it ’tshe best way to write according to the schools of journalism
45. Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows __________.
A. the editor
B. the reporter
C. the story
’s prejudice
’s background
’s factual matter
’s attitude toward objectiveness?
–
D. the story e’ffecst on the readers
46. Which of th e following can best express the author
A. Objectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers.
B. Properly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness.
C. He doesn ’t think there e xci somts plete objectiveness in news writing.
D. To make clear the news is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers.

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same
name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A. Nonetheless, quite apart from
well-documented lexical (词汇的 ) differences –pavementsidewalk, liftelevator, etc. –there are
still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of
the two different forms. That ’s why some people say that Great Britain and the Uantiete sdaSret
nations separated by a common language. There are practical reasons for this.
When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spoke
was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots (同胞) on the other side of the Atlantic
Ocean. However, they immediately saw things which didn ’t exist in Europe, often items used and
made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They also
picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word “boss ”, for
th
example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17

century. It comes from the
Dutch word
“ko
“baas ”, which means master. The word “cookie ” also comes from the Dutch

There are many words, phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for
Americanisms (美式英语用语 ) in Britain when they are nothing of the sort. Very often, they
represent not an American import, but an original form of British English which has disappeared in
Britain. The verbs “guess m”eaning think and “loan m”eaning lend and the adjective “mad”
meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms, yet they all appeared in British English
hundreds of years ago. In the case of “loan ”, it was ausse1d,2a0s0 lyoenagrsa! gI on fact, English

information technology, careers in the mathematical sciences are very promising. Mathematical
analysis and computational modeling are important for solving some of the most pressing problems
of our time –new energy resources, climate change, risk management, to name a few. We must
strive to maintain our technological edge; mathematical skills will be crucial to this effort.
Some more specific business positions include design studies, statistical analysis, software

mathematics, and a new branch of the science is born.
