這一年我們已經(jīng)基本上把閱讀吃透，考研閱讀選材范圍涉及經(jīng)濟(jì)，文化生活，以及貼近社會(huì)類的自然科普性文章。在其中，經(jīng)濟(jì)類文章居榜首。所以，今天考研名師高老師和大家詳細(xì)說(shuō)說(shuō)西方國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)類的出題形式。

本文節(jié)選自《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》一篇名為新聞法規(guī)之戰(zhàn)暫被擱置(The battle over newspaper regulation rolls into the long grass )的文章�？佳兄兴�涉及的外文文章思路清晰，層次清楚，因?yàn)槲覀兊闹饕�目的是選拔，所以，考點(diǎn)是一定要突出化。在這里，老師給大家節(jié)選了幾段，供大家參考泛讀：

“IT IS not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” That (quoting Winston Churchill) is one MP's verdict on Britain's battle over newspaper standards. His judgment, if grandiloquent, is accurate. The clash between politicians and newspapers, which began with the revelation in 2011 of widespread phone-hacking by a tabloid, appears to have reached a conclusion. On October 30th the government approved a new regulatory system to discipline Fleet Streetmisbehaviour. But the hostilities have merely been postponed.

“那不是末日的開端，而可能是開端的終結(jié)。”這是某國(guó)會(huì)議員引用丘吉爾的名言對(duì)英國(guó)報(bào)紙標(biāo)準(zhǔn)做出的結(jié)論。如果極力夸大事態(tài)的嚴(yán)重性，他的論斷則恰如其分。從2011年沸沸揚(yáng)揚(yáng)的竊聽門事件開始，政客與報(bào)紙之間的對(duì)抗似乎總算有了一個(gè)了結(jié)。10月30日，為了督管英國(guó)報(bào)業(yè)的不當(dāng)舉措，政府通過(guò)了一個(gè)新的監(jiān)管體系。但這無(wú)非只是推后了雙方的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。

The new system is the product of months of debate and compromise. Reacting to the phone-hacking scandal, the government commissioned a judge to investigate press standards. After a tortuous, year-long inquiry, Lord Justice Levesonrecommended a tough new regulator backed by legislation.

這一新的體系是數(shù)月以來(lái)辯論和妥協(xié)的產(chǎn)物。作為對(duì)竊聽門事件的回應(yīng)，政府委任一位法官去調(diào)查媒體標(biāo)準(zhǔn)問(wèn)題。經(jīng)歷了一些兜圈子、耗時(shí)一年的調(diào)查后，英國(guó)最高法院大法官萊維森提議要建立一個(gè)強(qiáng)硬的監(jiān)管體系，這一提議獲法律支持。

In March the three main political parties responded by proposing a royal charter—an ancient device seen as less offensive to a free press than statute would be. The charter provides for a regulator as well as a “recognition panel”, free from press or political control, to police its independence. The regulator could impose fines of up to ￡1m ($1.6m) on newspapers and insist on prominent corrections. The charter also exposes newspapers that refuse to join the regulatory regime to punitive damages if cases are brought against them.

3月，三個(gè)主要的政治團(tuán)體提出皇家特許狀作為回應(yīng)—這是很久以來(lái)對(duì)自由媒體采取的策略中，較成文法而言攻擊性較小的法案。特許狀提出要建立監(jiān)管體系以及監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)籌備組來(lái)管轄報(bào)業(yè)獨(dú)立，而這一機(jī)構(gòu)既不受制于媒體，也不受制于政治團(tuán)體。它可向報(bào)業(yè)征收高達(dá)100萬(wàn)歐元(合160萬(wàn)美元)的罰款，且有權(quán)要求報(bào)業(yè)對(duì)報(bào)道內(nèi)容作出重大更正。特許狀也曝光了那些拒絕加入監(jiān)管體系的報(bào)紙，若案件與其不利，則有權(quán)對(duì)其征收損害性賠償。

考研閱讀這個(gè)階段基本上已經(jīng)成型，大家沒(méi)有必要再進(jìn)行題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)，一定要從整體上把握文章中心，細(xì)節(jié)偏向中心即可。博學(xué)而廣，專學(xué)以精，同時(shí)希望大家平常心對(duì)待!
