17、is part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are
18、 based on the following passage.Bill Gates,the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree,is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business worlds favorite academic title;the MBA(Master of Business Administration).The MBA,a 20thcentury product,always
19、ha borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed (贪婪) on the treelined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates,about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993.This is nearl
20、y 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960,a testimony to the widespread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day.“If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have ont to have one,”saidDonald Morrison,profess
21、or of marketing and management science.“But in the last five years or so,when someone says,Should I attempt to get an MBA,the answer a lot more is:It depends.”The success of Bill Gates and other nonMBAs,such as the late Sam Walton of WalMart Stores Inc.has helped inspire seifconscious debates on bus
22、iness school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whther management skills can be taught.The Harvard Business Review printed a lively,fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders.The article called MBA hires “extremely disappointing”and said “MBAs w
23、ans to move up too fast,they dont understand politics and people, and they arent able to function as part of a team until their third year.But by then,theyre out looking for other jobs.”The problem,most participants in the debate acknowledge,is that the MBA has acquired an aura (光环) of future riches
24、 and power for beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollemnt in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do with out one.The growth was fueled by a backlach(反冲)against the antibusiness values of the 1960s and
25、 by the womens movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees often know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people.“They dont get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business,”said James Shaffer ,vicepresident and principal o
26、f the Towers Perrin managment consulting firm.21.According to Paragraph 2,what is the general attitude towards business on campuses dominated by purer disciplines?A)Envious.B)Scornful.C)Realistic.D)Appreciative.22.It seems that the controversy over the valus of MBA degrees has been fueled mainly by

28、keep complaining about their jobs.C)They are usually selfcentered.D)Thay are aggressive and greedy.24.From the passage we know that most MBAs_ .A)can climb the corporate ladder fairly quicklyB)cherish unrealistic expectations about their futureC)quit their jobs once they are familiar with their work
29、matesD)receive salaries that do not match their professional training25.What is the passage mainly about?A)A debate held recently on university campuses.B)Doubts about the worth of hodding an MBA degree.C)Why there is an increased enrollment in MBA programs.D)The necessity of reforming MBA programs
30、in business schools.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are hased on the following passage.German Chancellor (首相)Otto Von Bismarck may be most famous for his military and diplomatic talent.but his legacy(遣产)includes many of todays social insurance programs.During the middle of the 19th century,Germany,alo
31、ng with other European nations,experienced an unprecedented rash of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization.Motivated in part by Christian compassion(怜悯)for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut thesupport of the socialist labor movement.Ch
32、ancellor Bismarck created the worldsfirst workers compensation law in 1884.By 1908,the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workerscompensation insurance.Americas injured orkers could sue for damages in a court of law,but they still faced a number of tough legal barr
33、iers.For example,employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential hazards in the workplace.The first state workers compensation law in the country passed in 1911,and the program soom spread throughout the nat
34、ion.After World War ，benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living.In fact,real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s,and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a family of four.In 1970,President Richard Nixon se
35、t up a national commission to study the problems of workers compensation.Two years later,the commission issued 19 key recommendations,inluding one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states average weekly wages.In fact,the average compensation benefit in Amer
36、ica has climbed from 55 percent of the states average weekly wages in 1072 to 97 percent today.But, as most studies show,every 10 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims.And with so much more money floating in the worker
37、s compensation system,its not surprising theat doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to a large slice of the growing pie.26.A)The worlds first workers compensation law was introduced by Bismarck .A)for fear of losing the support of the socialist labor movementB)out of religious and political co
38、nsiderationsC)to speed up the pace of industrializationD)to make industrial production safer27.We learn from the passage that the process of industrialiation in Europe _.A)met growing resistance from laborers working at machinesB)resulted in the development of popular social insurance programsC)was
39、accompanied by an increased number of workshop accidentsD)required workers to be aware of the potential dangers at the workplace28.One of the problems the American injured workers faced in getting compensation in the early 19th century was that _.A)they had to produce evidence that their employers w
40、ere responsible for the accidentB)Americas average compensation benefit was much lower than the cost of livingC)different state in the U.S. had totally different compensation programsD)they had to have the courage to sue for damages in a court of law29.After 1972 workers compensation insurance in th
41、e U.S. became more favorable to workers so that _ .A)the poverty level for a family of fourwent up drasticallyB)more money was allocated to their compensation systemC)there were fewer legal barriers when they filed for claimsD)the number of workers suing for damages increased30.The author ends the p
42、assage with the implication that _.A)compensation benefits in America are soaring to new heightsB)people from all walks of life can benefit from the compensation systemC)the workers are not the only ones to benefit from the compensation systemD)money floating in the compensation system is a huge dra
43、in on the U.S. economyPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When school officials in Kalkaska,Michigan,closed classes last week,the media flocked to the story,portraying the towns 2,305 students as victims of stingy (吝啬的) taxpayers.There is some truth to that;the propert
44、y-tax rate here is one-third lower than the state average.But shutting their schools also sallowed Kalkaskas educators and the states largest teachersunion,the Michigan Education Association,to make a politcal point.Their aim was to spur passage of legislation Michigan lawmakers are debating to incr
45、ease the states share of school funding.It was no coincidence that Kalkaska shut its schools two weeks after residicted a 28 percent property-tax increase.The school board argued that without the increase it lacked the $ 1.5 million needed to keep schools open.But the school system had not done all
46、it could to keep the schools open.Officials declined to borrow against next years state aid,they refused to trim extracurricular activities and they did not consider seeking a smaller-perhaps more acceptable-tax increase.In fact,closing early is costing Kalkaska a significant amount,including 4600,0
47、00 in unemployment payments to teachers and staff and $250,000 in lost state sid.In February,the school system promised teachers and staff two months of retirement payments in case schools closed early,a deal that will cost the district $ 275,000 more.Other signs suggest school authorities were at l
48、east as eager to make a political statement as to keep schools open.The Michigan Education Association hired a public relations firm to stage a rally marking the school closings,which attracted 14 local and national television stations and networks.The president of the National Education Association,the MEAs parent organization,flew from Washington,D.C.,for the event.And to union tutored school officials in the art of televi
