单选题Passage1Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch's daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions. Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only sorting mechanismin society should be profit and the market. But it's us, human beings, we the people who create the society we want, not profit.Driving her point home, she continued:It's increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of The News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge-the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands. Jourmalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by The News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This long story still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organisations that they run. Perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing The News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instruction-nor received traceable, recorded answers.According to the first two paragraphs，Elisabeth was upset by_______.Athe consequences of the current sorting mechanismBcompanies'financial loss due to immoral practicesCgovernmental ineffectiveness on moral issuesDthe wide misuse of integrity among institutions

共用题干Earth Rocks onMost of the time,the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That{S comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground.Masses of land(called plates)slip,slide,and bump against each other,slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.Scientists know that Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago.They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled , its outermost layer , called the crust（地壳）, eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened,however,is an open question.Now,an international group of researchers has an answer. They'ye found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago.The new estimate is 1.3 billion years earlier than previous ones.Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago,lots of asteroids（小行星）were hitting Earth,keeping its crust in a hot,melted state.After the hard crust formed,much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot in- sides.There,it melted before returning to the surface.In some places,however,the crust never sank.One of the oldest such places is in Greenland,in an area called the Isua supracrustal（上地壳） belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor,but now it is exposed to air.The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long,parallel cracks in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.To explain this structure,the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crackopen long ago. Hot , liquid rock , called magma（岩浆）,flowed up slowly from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks.Finally,the whole area cooled,forming what we see today.That explanation,plus chemical clues inside the rock,suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of a plate under the ocean,beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.Scientists once estimated that Earth's crust started shifting three billion years ago.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
