11、et their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they “may find some of these disturbing” so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose jobs are to record those scenes-the TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the war and

12、 record them, no matter how horrifying and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing job that the world offers.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24 hour news in recent years have created

13、 an almost insatiable(無法滿足的)demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies-such as Reuters and WTNhave never had enough staff to meet the world wide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “Freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are indepen

14、dent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if a freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his

15、own.“TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books,” explains Nik Growing, once foreign editor for Britains Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.“By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the

16、 skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk,” he says.1、The underlined word “taxing” in Para 1 most probably means_.Ademanding BstrikingCsatisfying Dencouraging2、TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to _.Asave expenses and avoid riskBget

20、ng number of commentsa racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections.Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced k too was closing i

21、ts online comments sections. The decisions dont mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And

22、 so they had.In early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from th

23、eir readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, thats not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality,

24、 comments seem out of place today.“Since we made the announcement, Ive received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “Ive heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. Ive heard from people who said they wouldnt send in letters to the editor because they were

25、 attacked so fiercely by comments, and wasnt worth it.”1、Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections?AThey were put to wrong use.BHer website was attacked heavily.CThey exposed many illegal issues.DShe was angry about readers comments.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 in

BHopeful.CSurprised. DSupportive.23（8分）Pearl opened her eyes when Ezra turned a page of his magazine.
