7. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
the most serious flaw in television’s coverage of election campaigns is its tendency to focus on the horse-race side of politics—that is, to concentrate on the question “Who’s winning?” at the expense of substantive coverage of the issues and the candidates’ positions on them. The endless interviews with campaign managers, discussions of campaign strategies, and, especially, the obsession with opinion polls have surrounded elections with the atmosphere of a football game or a prizefight. To reform this situation, a first step might well be______
(A) a shortening of the length of election campaigns to a period of six weeks
(B) a stringent limit on campaign spending
(C) a reduction in the television coverage of opinion polls during election campaigns
(D) the publication and distribution of voter-education literature to inform the public about each candidate’s position on the major issues
(E) a limit on the length and number of political advertisements broadcast on television

8. As part of our program to halt the influx of illegal immigrants, the administration is proposing the creation of a national identity card. The card would be available only to U.S. citizens and to registered aliens, and all persons would be required to produce the card before they could be given a job. Of course, such a system holds the potential, however slight, for the abuse of civil liberties. Therefore, all personal information gathered through this system would be held strictly confidential, to be released only by authorized personnel under appropriate circumstances. Those who are in compliance with U.S. laws would have nothing to fear from the identity card system.
In evaluating the above proposal, a person concerned about the misuse of confidential information would be most interested in having the author clarify the meaning of which of the following phrases?
(A) “all persons” (line 5)
(B) “however slight” (line 7)
(C) “civil liberties” (line 8)
(D) “appropriate circumstances” (line 11)
(E) “U.S. laws” (line 2)

上一道选C
破折号前面或后面值得注意。此题中，破折号后有“that is”故前句是主观点，后面是展开。主论点说TV播报是政选跟赛马一样。展述不值得细看。此题中，展述出现了负面字眼endless,obsession(困扰)，且类比了足球和拳击，显然，作者认为把政选搞得跟赛马一样不好，而罪魁祸首是TV coverage。故，first step要与TV coverage有关，C。E也提到了TV，但从内容上可以排除。

下一道选D
题干问句“a person concerned about the misuse of 。。。”，亮点动词misuse，负面感情色彩，关注类似负面动词，信息release会造成misuse，原文中讲到在appropriate circumstances情况下release信息，所以“appropriate circumstances”的应关注

第一题与2楼的意见不同，
the most serious flaw in television’s coverage of election campaigns is its tendency to focus on the horse-race side of politics—that is, to concentrate on the question “Who’s winning?” at the expense of substantive coverage of the issues and the candidates’ positions on them。
意思是电视新闻最严重的错误在对问题“谁是赢家”的关注而以选举这件事和参选人的立场为代价。也就是说关注谁是赢家是错的，本应关注the position of candidates and the issue.
其中对“at expense....”的理解应该是“以。。。为代价”

所以我觉得答案D比较好，正好应对了这个情况。

第一题我的理解是,问题中的first step也许是解题关键,也就是要先解决目前最突出的问题.

我也认为应该选D。思路大概差不多。

楼主，答案是什么呀

第一题，大全答案是C。个人理解如下：
批判的是电视coverage里面的那些 1、endless interviews with campaign managers，2 discussions of campaign strategies,3、 especially, the obsession with opinion polls ，所以要改变的话具体到step就是从这三个中选一个开刀（这个是结合选项推出的），而 opinion polls是最被痛恨的，所以从它开始。

第一题是the most serious flaw in television’s coverage ，而选项D是说出版发行投票人培养手册，和television’s coverage 无关，应排除。答案是C
