According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the writer% opinion？
A．Corelli's Mandolin is not a tour de force.
B．Birds Without Wings. is better than expected.
C．De Bernieres' way of telling a story is unusual.
D．Tragedy helped make Birds Without Wings successful.
Like Corelli's Mandolin, which was set on a Greek island during its Italian occupation in World War Ⅱ, Birds Without Wings is also a story of two Mediterranean cultures living cheek by jowl. Eskibahce is a small hillside village on the southwestern coast of Turkey. At the beginning of the 20th century, Greeks and Turks--along with a smattering of Armenians and Jews--live amicably in the town. The community is so intermingled the Greeks speak only Turkish and the few Turks who can write use the Greek alphabet. The line between Greek Christianity and Turkish Islam is equally skewed. Muslim women think nothing of asking their Christian friends to light votive candles on their behalf, and the Christians have great respect for the local imam.
It is not unusual that Ibrahim, a Muslim boy, is in love with Philothei, the most beautiful Greek girl in town. Karatavuk, the son of the Muslim potter, and Mehmetcik, from a Christian family, are inseparable friends, never parted for a day until they are conscripted into service for the First World War. But anyone familiar with the history of the region can foresee that tragedy will befall this idyllic community: tragedy in the form. of hatred, war, expulsion and genocide. The blossoming of Turkish nationalism will reignite the tribalism that has always marked this region of the world. Eskibahce's way of life will be destroyed, and this coming cataclysm hangs over the novel like the sword of Damocles.
Readers familiar with de Bernieres' work know he has a very unusual way of unfolding a narrative. Different characters tell parts of the story, and sometimes an omniscient narrator chimes in with third person authority.
In Birds Without Wings, for instance, we get some of the story with hindsight, from survivors who were children at the time. Other events are told as they occur. Throughout, there are sections about the rise of Mustafa Kemal, known as Ataturk, the great military leader who westernized Turkey, that read almost like history. It is the tragic intersection of the stories that give the novel its substance and weight.
De Bernieres' brilliance is that he manages to recount bleak history cloaked in radiant garb. He is a gifted storyteller who offers up his tale at an unhurried pace, introducing violence or despair with the same inevitability as such happier impulses as loyalty and honor. Blood feuds, retaliation, religious intolerance--all are so ingrained in everyday life in Eskibahce that few among its likable inhabitants really take them seriously. But it is precisely because the novelist allows us to embrace these characters, warts and all, that we are shocked when these ordinary people are driven by a madness that will destroy everything and everyone they love.
Birds Without Wings is, among other things, a great anti-war novel. History, it tells: us, "is finally nothing but a sorry edifice constructed from hacked flesh in the name of great ideas." Strong sentiments, but a reminder that the same internecine hatred erupted in Europe countless times during the ensuing century.
Corelli's Mandolin was such a masterwork that it seems almost unfair that de Bernieres could produce another book as good, perhaps better. Birds Without Wings is a tour de force, a novel as complex and compelling, as instructive and unsettling as history itself.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true？
A．Mustafa Kemal is a character in Birds Without Wings.
B．Eskibahce used to be a peaceful place before the war.
C．De Bernieres' two novels were set in different places.
D．The destruction of Eskibahce's way of life is avoidable.

听力原文： Publicity is any promotional communication about an organization or its products that is presented by the media but is not paid for by the organization. Publicity usually takes the form. of a news story appearing in a mass medium or an endorsement (认可) provided by an individual informally or in a speech or interview.
There are three channels for gaining publicity. One is to prepare a story (called a news release) and make it known to the media. The intention is for the selected newspapers, television stations, or other media to report the information as news. The second channel is personal communication with a group. A press conference will draw media representatives if they feel the subject or speaker has news value. Company tours and speeches to different groups of people are other forms of individual-to-group communications. The third channel is one-on-one personal communication, often called lobbying (游说). Companies lobby law makers or other powerful people in an attempt to influence their opinions, and also their decisions. In addition, firms will give products to highly visible people in hope that the people will be seen u sing them.
Publicity can help to accomplish any communication objective. It can be used to announce new products, publicize new policies, recognize employees, de scribe research breakthroughs, or report financial performance—if the message is viewed by the media as newsworthy (有新闻价值的) or by the group or individual receivers as interesting or useful. This is what distinguishes publicity from advertising publicity cannot be 'forced' on the audience. This is also the source of its power. The credibility (可信度) level of publicity typically is much higher than advertising, If we tell you our product is great, you may well be skeptical (怀疑的). But if an independent, objective third party says our product is great, you are more likely to believe it.
Individual-to-group communication包括 a press conference, company tours和speeches to different groups of people．

Like other forms of representation, architecture is the embodiment of the decisions that go into its making, not the result of impersonal forces, market or history. Therefore, says Mr. Rykwert, adapting Joseph de Maistre's dictum that a nation has the government it deserves, our cities have the faces they deserve.
In this book, Mr. Rykwert. a noted urban historian of anthropological love, offers a flaneur's approach to the city's exterior surface rather than an urban history from the conceptual inside out. He does not drive, so his interaction with the city affords him a warts-and-all view with a sensual grasp of what it is to be a "place".
His story of urbanization begins, not surprisingly, with the industrial revolution when populations shifted and increased, exacerbating problems of housing and crime. In the 19th century many planning programs and utopias (Ebenezer Howard's garden city and Charles Fourier's "phalansteries" among them) were proposed as remedies. These have left their mark on 20th-century cities, as did Baron Hausmann's boulevards in Paris, Eugene Viollet-le-Duc's and Owen Jones's arguments for historical style, and Adolf Loos's fateful turn-of-the-century call to abolish ornament which, in turn, inspired Le Corbusier's bare functionalism. The reader will recognize all these ideas in the surfaces of the cities that hosted them: New York, Paris, London, and Vienna.
Cities changed again after the Second World War as populations grew, technology raced and prosperity spread. Like it or not, today's cities are the muddled product, among other things, of speed, greed, outmoded social agendas and ill-suited postmodern aesthetics. Some lament the old city's death; others welcome its replacement by the electronically driven "global village". Mr. Rykwert has his worries, to be sure, but he does not see ruin or chaos everywhere. He defends the city as a human and social necessity. In Chandigarh, Canberra and New York he sees overall success; in New Delhi, Paris and Shanghai, large areas of falling. For Mr. Rykwert, a man on foot in the age of speeding virtual, good architecture may still show us a face where flaneurs can read the story of their urban setting in familiar metaphors.
An argument made by supporters of functionism is that______.
A．post-war modernist architecture was coming under fire
B．UN building in New York blocks the housing projects
C．windswept plazas present "face" to the inhabitants of the city
D．functionism reflects the needs of the social body
