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、Having great influence over governments.
B、Resenting important politicians.
C、Promoting personal wishes and dislikes.
D、Attacking the small entertaining press publicly.

答案 C

解析 新闻中提到,前英国首相Stanley Baldwin.曾指控当时的两大报业公司老板,称他们用报纸来“宣传”“两人的个人意愿和好恶”,故C正确。A“对政府产生巨大影响”和B“惹恼重要的政客”都有在新闻中出现,但都与问题无关。D“公开批评小娱乐报”利用末尾信息制造干扰。
