9、 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40points) Text 1 The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since thesudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favo
10、rable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic. One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilberts appointment in the Times, call
11、s him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him. ” As a description of thenext music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.
12、 For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or evena good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go
13、 to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes. Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compet
14、e not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic q名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - -

The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the trad
16、itional classical concert. One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive newmusic that is not yet available on record. Gilberts own interest in new musichas been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described himas a man who is capable of turning the Philh
17、armonic into “ a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely expanding the orchestras repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert andthe Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America s oldest orchestra and
18、 the new audience it hops to attract.21. We learn from Para.1 that Gilberts appointment hasAincurred criticism. Braised suspicion. Creceived acclaim. Daroused curiosity. 22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is Ainfluential. Bmodest. Crespectable. Dtalented. 23. The author believes that the
19、 devoted concertgoers Aignore the expenses of live performances. Breject most kinds of recorded performances. Cexaggerate the variety of live performances. Doverestimate the value of live performances. 24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings? AThey are often inferior
20、to live concerts in quality. BThey are easily accessible to the general public. CThey help improve the quality of music. DThey have only covered masterpieces. 25. Regarding Gilberts role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels Adoubtful. Benthusiastic. Cconfident. Dpuzzled. 名师资料总结 - - -精品

Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and sai
22、d he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,”McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29. McGee says leaving w
23、ithout a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn t alone. In recent weeksthe No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanationthat they were lookin
24、g for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plansin response to shareholder pressure, executives who dont get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations. As the first signs of reco
25、very begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring
26、 leaders. The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that themost attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: ”I cant think of a single s
27、earch I ve donewhere a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job havent always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet
28、-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later. Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be be
29、tween jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it s safer to stay where you are, but that s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people whove been hurt the worst are those whove stayed too long. ”名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - -

33、out a Net DThe Only Way Out for Top Performers Text 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid ” media such as television commercials and print advertisements still play a major role, companies today canexploit many alternative
34、 forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approachthe broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media. Paid and owned media are controlled by
35、marketers promoting their own products. For earned media , such marketers act as the initiator for users responses. But in some cases, one marketer s owned media become another marketer 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 5 页，共 29 页 - - - - - - - - - 6 s p
36、aid media for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on itsWeb site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, eff
37、ectivelybegan with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter,a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other
38、marketers makesthe site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned. The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more di
39、verse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activi
40、sts who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them. If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putt
41、ing the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the companys response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and we
42、ll-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg. 31.Consumers may create “earned ” media when they are A obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites. B inspired by product-promoting
43、 e-mails sent to them. C eager to help their friends promote quality products. D enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products. 32. According to Paragraph 2,sold media feature A a safe business environment. B random competition. C strong user traffic. D flexibility in organization. 33. The

46、hich of the following is the text mainly about ? A Alternatives to conventional paid media. B Conflict between hijacked and earned media. C Dominance of hijacked media. D Popularity of owned media. Text 4It s no surprise that Jennifer Senior s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “Ilove My
47、Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need torede
48、fine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dam
49、pen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive and newly single mom Sandra Bullock, as well as
50、 the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant ” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands. In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you su
