In the seaside town of Brighton in southern England the ruling Labor party’s annual conference is holding. It’s a time for both MPs to take stock of how the party is doing, to discuss policy and to hear, hopefully, inspiring speeches. The party delegates will be hoping too for plenty of coverage from the media assembled there. Sometimes in politics it appears it’s not so much what you do but what you seem to be doing that counts, and for politicians public relations can seem to be as important as policies. The BBC’s media correspondent, Torin Douglas, has been considering the relationship between politicians and the press. Who really holds the power? Newspapers in Britain have long had great influence over Governments, much to the resentment of the politicians. Almost seventy-five years ago, the then Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin accused the two big press bosses, Lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere, of running their papers as "engines of promotion" for the "personal wishes and personal dislikes of two men". It’s hard to imagine the current Prime Minister attacking the small entertaining press so publicly.
5. What do we learn about the Labor party’s annual conference?
6. What’s the attitude of politicians toward newspapers?
7. What did Stanley Baldwin accuse two big press companies of?

选项 A、Favourable.
B、Disgusted.
C、Indifferent.
D、Optimistic.

答案 B

解析 新闻中提到,英国的报纸对政府的影响一直都很大,这使政客们憎恨(resentment of the politicians)。B中的disgusted是新闻中resentment的同义表述,故选B。
