(40 points) Text 1 The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful
12、 Inside My Head Forever, at Sothebys in London on September 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for ban
13、kruptcy. The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come do
14、wn to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashio
15、nable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90%in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses. Sothebys and Christie
16、s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying impressionists at the end of 1989. This time expects reckon that prices are about 40%down on their peak on average, t
17、hough some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman. Christies chief executive, says:Im pretty confident were at the bottom.” What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said
18、that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds-death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who dose not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.21. In the first paragraph, Damien Hir
19、sts sale was referred to as “a last victory” because_.A the art market had witnessed a succession of victoriesB the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpiecesD it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis22
20、. By saying “spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable”(Line 1-2,Para,3), the author suggests that_A collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctionsB people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleriesC art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a g
21、reat extentD works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying23. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008B The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.C The art market generally went down
22、ward in various ways.D Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.24. The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are _.A auction houses favoritesB contemporary trendsC factors promoting artwork circulationD styles representing impressionists25. The most appropriate title for this text c
23、ould be _.A Fluctuation of Art PricesB Up-to-date Art AuctionsC Art Market in DeclineD Shifted Interest in ArtsText 2I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room-a womens group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative
24、, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands dont talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, “Shes the talke
25、r in our family.” The room burst in laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. “Its true,” he explained. “When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didnt keep the conversation going, wed spend the whole evening in silence.”This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men
26、 tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her book Divorce Talk that most of the
27、women she interviewed but only a few of the men gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year- a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.In my own research, complaint
28、s from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking and social arrangements. Instead, they focused on commun
29、ication years before, that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.In short, the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table
30、with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.26. What is most wives main expectation of their husbands? A Talking to them B Trusting them C Supporting their careersD Sharing housework27. Judging from the context, the phrase “wreaking havoc” (
31、Line 3, Para 2) most probably means_. Agenerating motivationBexerting influenceCcausing damageDcreating pressure28. All of the following are true EXCEPT _. Amen tend to talk more in public than women Bnearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversationCwomen attach much importance
32、 to communication between couplesDa female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse29. Which lf the following can best summarize the main idea of this text? AThe moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists. BMarriage break-up stems from sex inequalities. CHusband and wife have di
33、fferent expectations from their marriage. DConversational patterns between man and wife are different.30. In the following part immediately after this text, the author will most probably focus on AThe moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists. BMarriage break-up stems from sex inequaliti
34、es. CHusband and wife have different expectations from their marriage. DConversational patterns between man and wife are different.Text 3 Over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors -habits- among consumers. These habits have helped companies earn billi
35、ons of dollars when customers cat snacks or wipe counters almost without thinking, often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues. “There are fundamental public health problems, like dirty hands instead of a soap habit, that remain killers only because we cant figure out how to change p
36、eoples habits.” Said Dr. Curtis, the director of the Hygiene Center at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. “We wanted to learn from private industry how to create new behaviors that happen automatically.” The companies that Dr. Curtis turned to Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and U
37、nilever- had invested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers lives that corporations could use to introduce new routines. If you look hard enough, youll find that many of the products we use every day chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners,
38、water purifiers, health snacks, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitaminsare results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, because of shrewd advertising and public health campaigns, many Americans habit ally give their pearly w
39、hites a cavitypreventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of the other brands. A few decades ago, many people didnt drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage companies started bottling the production of far-off springs, and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all
40、day long. Chewing gum, once bought primarily by adolescent boys, is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal. Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals, slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup. “Our products suc
41、ceed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns,” said Carol Berning, a consumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter & Gamble, the company that sold $76 billion of Tide, Crest and other products last year. “Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers lives, a
42、nd its essential to making new products commercially viable.” Through experiments and observation, social scientists like Dr. Berning have learned that there is power in tying certain behaviors to habitual cues through ruthless advertising. As this new science of habit has emerged, controversies hav
43、e erupted when the tactics have used to sell questionable beauty creams or unhealthy foods. 31. According to Dr. Curtis, habits like hand washing with soap _.A should be further cultivatedBshould be changed graduallyCare deeply rooted in historyDare basically private concerns32.Bottled water, chewin
44、g gum and skin moisturizers are mentioned in Paragraph 5 so as to _. Areveal their impact on peoples habits Bshow the urgent need of daily necessities Cindicate their effect on peoples buying power Dmanifest the significant role of good habits33. Which of the following does NOT belong to products th
45、at help create peoples habits? ATide. BCrest. CColgate. DUnilever.34. From the text we know that some of consumers habits are developed due to _. Aperfected art of productsBautomatic behavior creation Ccommercial promotionsDscientific experiments35. The authors attitude toward the influence of adver
46、tisement on peoples habits is _. Aindifferent Bnegative Cpositive Dbiased Text 4Many Americans regard the jury system as a concrete expression of crucial democratic values, including the principles that all citizens who meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy are equally competent to serve on juries; that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin: that defendants are entitled to trial by their peers;
