第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
We lived in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists.
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problems of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
56． Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are _______.
A. more successful B. more learned
C. more imaginative D. more hardworking
57． What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph 2) refer to?
A. carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.
B. carpenters who have college degrees.
C. people who think highly of carpenters of old.
D. people who think that modern material is of low quality.
58． What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.
B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.
C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.
D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.
59． What would be the best title for the text?
A. Is Craft Dead?
B. Craft, Back to life?
C. History of craftsmanship
D. Carpenters Today and Yesterday
B
Sony Corporation began in 1964 in a fire-bombed Tokyo department store with only more than 20 workers and $ 500 capital. But today the company employs over 4,000 people, and its annual sales reach more than $ 7 billon. It sells more than 10,000 different models of sound and video equipment in more than 180 countries and regions on six continents. What does it make it hard for any company to equal? It is imagination, grinding hard work, fiercely motivated managers and innovation engineers and designers, which seems almost impossible to beat.
Sony’s founders, Massaru Ibuka and Akio Morita are both physicists. Akio Morita realized that scientific creativity was not enough. Customers simply did not know what to do with their wonderful new machines. He would have to educate them. He concluded that the recorder’s best market in Japan would be in the schools. So he set off around Japan, showing teachers how they could see the portable(轻便的) suitcase-size machine to tape educational radio programs for English language lesson. He did succeed.
In 1952, Bell Laboratories developed transistors. Ibuka and Morita flew to the United States right way to investigate. Within several weeks, they successfully produced their first transistor and invented their own technology, which was two years ahead of all Japanese competitors.
The company’s greatest secret is its ability to satisfy unvoiced desires. Sony frequently and unashamedly adopts or perfects processes invented by others, while simultaneously dipping into its own dazzling banks of advanced technology.
Designers and engineers are put on a top-priority footing to complete their designs and specifications. Besides inspired use of its scientific talent and know-how, and West, the Sony spirit starts at the top. Sony doesn’t hire able person, for what he or she is and will be. The job is tailored to the person, not vice versa.
As a result of these innovative management practices, Sony is an intensively lively, feisty organization that prides itself on personal excellence as much as group effort. They have plunged over and over again into the unknown. Sony’s managers and scientists know what they are doing, and they can prove they are right. Nothing succeeds like success. And that’s what makes Sony run.
60. The main idea of the passage is ______.
A. Sony’s voluminous sales around the world.
B. Sony’s technological innovations
C. Sony’s great founders
D. Sony’s secrets to success
61. Massaru Ibuka and Akio Morita’s initial success lay greatly in ______.
A. inventing new machine
B. education people how to use machine
C. expanding market share outside Japan
D. competing with American competitors
62 It can be inferred from the passage that it is of critical importance for management to be _____.
A. loyal and lively
B. able and devoted
C. scientific and efficient
D. motivated and innovative
63.“Nothing succeeds like success” means ________.
A. if one does nothing, he can’t achieve success
B. nothing is more important than success
C. success in one case is likely to be followed by success in other cases
D. success is likely to be followed by failure if nothing is done
C
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and wining are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pay no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would means a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.
64． What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition
65．The underline phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means______.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
66． What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail” ?
A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others
B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts
C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills
D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried
67． Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back
B. Competition should be encouraged
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition
D
Some individuals and citizen groups have expressed worry about the level of violence in television programs, particularly in action-adventure series and cartoons. They argue that viewers, especially children, may learn to see violence as the way to settle conflicts..
Early experimental researchers compared the play of children who had seen aggressive behavior on television with the play of a control group of children who had watched nonviolent programs. Worry was increased by findings that showed a higher level of aggressive play in the violent-television group. Other researchers attempted to determine whether violent programs simply caused higher energy levels in children or actually caused them to learn violent and antisocial behavior. The results of different studies conflicted. Some researchers thought that televised violence actually had an active cathartic(引导宣泄)effect, allowing some viewers to release higher tensions; these findings, however, were not more clear in further studies. Other scholars pointed out that both prosocial and antisocial behavior can be learned from television.
Social scientists find it especially difficult to figure out exactly the subtle, cumulative(积累的)effects of viewing a broad variety of television programs throughout childhood. Telling the possible effects of television from other influences at home and at school is also difficult. Present research suggests that higher levels of antisocial behavior can be traced to television viewing, but further study needs to be done to make it clear or not.
Because of the long-standing tradition in the U.S. of freedom of speech and of the press, the government would probably not attempt to directly limit or censor(审查)the appearance of violence on television. Among the networks and producers, pressure from some citizens continues to be balanced by increasing popularity of high-energy action-adventure programs.
68． What is the passage mainly about?
A. Violence in television programs
B. Levels of violence in action-adventure series and cartoons
C. Educational programs for children
D. Researches on television programs
69． A “prosocial” behavior is one ________
A. that is against the social rules
B. that meets the expectation of the society
C. that a child shows in communication with people
D. that can often be shaped by TV programs
70． Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A. Television viewing leads naturally to antisocial behavior
B. Violence on television does not help shape violent behavior in children
C. The effect of the violent TV programs on children needs further study
D. Both prosocial and antisocial behavior can be learned from violent programs
71． The last paragraph of the passage implies________
A. the government will have to ban violence on TV
B. violence in television programs will continue to appear in the future
C. producers and some citizens can work together to clean up TV programs
D. without violent, action-adventure programs would be more popular
E
Violence in American families takes many forms. One prevalent form that we often overlook is the physical punishment of children. Perhaps 93 percent of all parents beat their children in order to discipline them. Young children receive the most punishment, but studies reveal that about 50 percent of high school seniors report experiencing or being threatened with physical punishment. Punishment of children varies from a light tap to a brutal beating, but historically we have granted parents the right to use physical force against their children. A law passed in 1696, for example, called for the death penalty for a child of “sufficient understanding ” over the age of sixteen who cursed or struck a parent or who was “stubborn and rebellious(叛逆的)” in refusing to obey a parent. From interviews with 2 143 married couples constituting a cross section of American families, sociologists estimate that parents kick, punch, or bite some 1.7 million children a year, beat 460 000 to 750 000 more, and attack 460 000 with guns or knives.
Physical punishment of children that result in injuries requiring medical treatment is now generally considered to be abusive. Most people do not realize, however, that it is the regular use of “ordinary” physical punishment, and the cultural approval it enjoys, that lays the groundwork for child abuse. According to David Gil, “in most accidents of child abuse the caretakers involved are ‘normal’ individuals exercising their rights of disciplining a child whose behavior they find in need of correction.” If one adult were to strike another, most people would regard such behavior as abusive.
Most people use physical punishment in the belief that it will control the aggression in their children and make them obedient. In fact, violence “whether verbal or physical” sets children a poor example. An adult who yells at or slaps a child unwitting(无意的，无心的) supplies the child with a model for aggression. Studies have found that the frequent use of physical punishment for aggressive acts by a child results in a marked increase in the child’s aggression. Perhaps not surprisingly, abusive parents are themselves likely to have been abused when they were children. The pattern of abuse is unwittingly translated from parent to child and thus from generation to generation.
72．Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Punishment of children was once justified in American law.
B. Most of the parents have used physical punishment to discipline disobedient children in America.
C. High school students rarely receive punishment from their parents.
D. Child abuse is rooted in American culture.
73．The second “it ” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 refers to _________
A. physical punishment
B. the cultural approval
C. the regular use of “ordinary ” physical punishment
D. injuries requiring medical treatment
74．Which of the following sentences can be inferred from the passage?
A. Physical punishment is helpful for parents to correct children’s indecent behavior.
B. Parents who use physical punishment to discipline their children should not be punished by the law.
C. A child who is severely punished will revenge the abuse on his own child in later life.
D. Parents who punish children physically actually set bad examples of aggression for the children.
75．What is the author’s attitude towards physical punishment by parents?
A. Disagreeing B. Supporting C. Understanding D. Favorable
