Soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria are suing their former babysitter who told Britain’ s newspaper News of the World that the couple’ s marriage is in danger.
    Lawyers for the Beckhams argue that babysitter Anne Gibson’ s contract included a promise not to speak about the couple’ s private lives. Gibson quit her job earlier this month after working for the couple since October of 2003. The Beckhams are already suing News of the World over the publication last year of details of the so-called affair between David Beckham and his personal assistant Rebecca Loos. A Beckham spokeswoman said the couple plans to file suit over this story as well. But the newspaper said a high court judge ruled in its favor on grounds that the story was in the public interest, a sentiment shared by Public Relations manager Robert K.
    "The media report is from a viewpoint of creating photo opportunities but not fueling the fire. Attack leads to a cornered animal, and so, of course the media are going to make mistakes, because they are in an impossible position. They’ re damned if they report, they’ re damned if they don’ t."

选项 A、David Beckham and his wife lost the case of suiting their former babysitter.
B、The court didn’ t think Anne Gibson break the contract with the Beckhams.
C、The Beckhams plan to file suit over the newspaper News of the World.
D、The media are in an important position according to manager Robert K.

答案D

解析 综合判断题。通过浏览选项可知,本题考的可能是事实判断题,因为我们知道这样一个出题规律:如果选项是四个内容不相干的完整的句子,问题很可能就是判断题或推理题。根据这一原理,我们在听录音时要对选项所示的信息有所用心,并且在选项旁做好标记以便选择。原文“But the newspaper said a high court judge ruled in its favor on grounds that the story was in the public interest,..”说明选项A和B是符合原文的。原文“A Beckham spokeswoman said the couple plans to file suit over this story as well.”说明,贝克汉姆夫妇(虽然起诉前保姆未果,但是由于该报纸曾报道贝克汉姆与他的私人秘书有染,他们)打算起诉该报,由此可见选项 C也是符合原文的,不是本题的正确答案。原文最后引用一位公共关系经理的话,说明报纸只是为了制造卖点,不是蓄意破坏贝克汉姆夫妇的婚姻,作为公众人物的贝克汉姆夫妇不必为此大动干戈,否则该报也会被逼而反抗的,“of course the media are going to make mistakes,because they are in an impossible position.”所以选项D“媒体的位置很重要”与原文“媒体的处境很难受”不符,important和impossible读音易混,意思迥异。选项D是本题的正确答案。
