正确答案: B

more journalists may be found guilty ofphone hacking

题目：请阅读 Passage 1,完成1~5小题。 　　Passage 1 　　Two 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 mechanism" in 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.Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people.This is hacking on an industrial scale,as was acknowledged by (Jlenn 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.

解析：推断题。第三段第一句指出，Andy Coulson由于密谋窃听电话而被判决有罪，然而他的前任却被判决无罪。通过这一事件，作者得出由此造成的道德沦丧问题依然广泛存在，即仍然存在一些人没有被判决有罪。接着文章指出记者们由于已经窃听多达5500人的电话而被人们熟知……其他人在等待审判，由此可以推出，将会有更多的记者因为窃听电话而被判决有罪。故本题选B。A项“Glenn Mulcaire可能会否认窃听电话是犯罪”，C项“Andy Coulson应该在指控中被判决无罪”和D项“电话窃听在某些特定场合是可以被接受的”，均不符合题意。

that

解析：考查强调句。"It is/was+被强调的部分+that(who)+句子的其他部分"是强调句的构成形式。如果被强调的部分是表示人的名词时，可以用who代替that引出句子的其他部分；如果被强调的部分是表示事物的名词时，一般用that引出句子的其他部分。故选A。
