ComprehensionPart ADirections:Reading the following fours texts.Answer the question below each text by Choosin [A],[B],[C]or[D].Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its nex music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudde announcement of his appointment in2009.For the most part,the response has bee favorable,to say the least“Hooray!A t last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,a sober-sided classical-music criticOne of the reason why the appiontment came as such a surprise,however is that Gilber is commparatively little known Even Tommasini,who had advocate Gilbert’s appointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musician with n air of the formidable conductor about him.”As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahle and Pierre Boulez,that semms likely to have struck at least some Times readers a faint prwiseFor my part,I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or eve a good one.To be sure,be performs an impressive variety of interesting composition but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall,or anywhere else,to hea interesting orchestral music.All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf,or boot u my computer amd download still more recorded music form iTumesDevoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for liv performance are missing the point.For the time,attention,and money of the art-loving public,classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses,dance troupes,theeater companies,and museums,but also with the recorse performances of the great classical musicians of the20th century.There recordinmusic that is not yet available on recors.Gilbert’s own interest in new music ha been widely noted:Alex Ross,a classical-music critic,has described him as a ma who is capable of turning the Phiharmonic into“a markedly different,more vibran organization”But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely,expandin the orchestra’s repertorre will not be enough.If Gilbert and thr Philharmonic ar to succeed,they must first change the relationship between America’a olderes orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.21.We learn from Para1that Gilbert’s appointment has[A]incured criticism[B]raised suspicion[C]raceived acclaim[D]around curiousity22.Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A]influential[B]modest[C]respectable[D]talented23.The auther believes that the devoted concertgoers[A]ingore the expense of live performance[B]reject most kinds of recorded performance[C]exaggerate the variety of live performanc[D]overestimate the variety of live performance24.According to the text,which of the following is true of recordings?[A]They are often interror to live concerts in quality[B]They are easily accessible to the genral public[C]They help improve the quality of music[D]They have only convered masterpieces25.Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalixing the Philharmonic,the authir feel[A]doubtful[B]enthusisastic[C]confident[D]puzzledText2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August,his expanation was surprisingly straight up.Rather than cloaking his exit in the usuaMaGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to refect o what kind of company he wanted to run.It also sent a clear message to the outsid world about his aspirations.And McGee isn't alone.In recent weeks the NO.2 executives Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were lookin for a CEO post.As boards scrutinize succession plans in response business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements clou their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold,deputy chiefs may be mor willing to make the jump without a net.In the third quarter,CEo turnover was dow 23%from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had,accordin to Liberum Research.As the economy picks up,opportunities will abound for aspirin 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 tha the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached.Says Krn Ferr senior partner Dennis Carey,"I can't think of a single search I've done where board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first."Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickl 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-based commoditied exchange Robert Willumstad left CItigroup in2005with ambitions to be a CEO.He finally too that post at a major financial institurion three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers.The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a ba on."The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are,bu that's been fundamentally inverted,"says one headhunter."The people who've been hurt the wors are those who've stayed too long"26.When McGee announced his departure,his manner can best be described as being(A.ArrogantB.frankC.self-centeredD.impulsive27.According to Paragraph2,senior executives quitting may be spurred by()A.their expectation of better financial statusB.their need to reflect on their private lifeC.their strained relations with the boardsD.their pursuit of new career goals28.The word"poached"(Line3,Paragraph4)most probably means()C.top performers care more about reputationsD.it's safer to stick to the traditional rules.30.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.CEOs:where to GO?B.CEOs:All the Way Up?C.Top managers Jump without a NetD.The Only way out for Top PerformersText3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you pai for.No longer.While traditional"paid"media-such as television commercials an print advertisements-still play a major role,companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media.Consumers passionate about a product may create"owned media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered wit its Webe site.The way consumenrs now approatch the board range of factors beyon conventional paid media.Paind and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products.For earned media,such marketers act as the initiators for users'response But in some cases,one marketer's owned media become another marketer's paid media-for instance,when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site.W difine such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong tha other organization palce their content or e-commerce engines within that environment Thies trend,which we believe is still in its infance,effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt g further John&JOhnson,for example,has created BabyCenter,a stand-alone medi property that promotes complementary and even competitive products.Besides generating income,the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal o other companies'marketing,and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers wit more(and more diverse)communications choices have also increased the risk tha passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker,more visible,and muc more damaging ways.Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media:an asse or campaign become hostage to consumers,other stakeholders,or activists who mak 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 businesscurve has been steep.Toyota Motor,for example,alleviated some of the damage fro its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrate social-media response campaign,which included efforts to engage with consumer directly sites such as Twitter and the social-news sit Digg.31.Consumers may creat"earned"media when they are()A.obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sitesB.inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to themC.eager to help their friends promote quality productsD.enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products32.According to Paragraph2,sold media feature()A.a safe business environmentB.random competitionC.Strong user trafficD.flexibility in organization33.The author indicates in Paragraph3that earned media()A.invite constant conflicts with passinate consumersB.can be used to produce negative effects in marketingC.may be responsible for fiercer competitionD.deserve all the getative comments about them34.Toyota Motor's experience is cited as an example of()A.responding effectively to hijacked mediaB.persuading customers into boycotting productsC.cooperating with supportive consumersD.taking advantage of hijacked media35.Which of the following is the text mainly about?A.Alternatives to conventional paid mediaB.Conflict between hijacked and earned mediaC.Dominance of hijacked mediaD.Popularity of owned mediaText4It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful,provocative magazin cover story,“I love My Children,I Hate My Life,”is arousing much chatter-nothin gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less tha a completely fulfilling,life-enriching experience Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable,Senior suggests we need to redefin happiness,instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured byThe magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardl the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week.There are also storie about newly adoptive-and newly single-mom Sandra Bullock,as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant”news.Practically every week features at least on celebrity mom,or mom-to-be,smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation,o sot any wonder tha admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing?It doesn’t seem quite fair,then,to compare the regrets of paren to the regrets of the children.Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder i they shouldn’t have had kids,but unhappy childless folks are bothered with th message that children are the single most important thing in the world:obviousl their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their livesOf course the image of parenthood that celebrity magazine like Us Weekl and People present is hugely unrealistic,especially when the parents are singl mothers like Bullock.According to several studies concluding that parents are les happy than childless couples,single parents are the least happy of all.No shoc there,considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it,raising a kid on their“own(read:wit round-the-clock help)is a piece of cake.”It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just becaus Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous:most adults understand that a bab is not a haircut.But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every wee of stress-free,happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small,subconsciou way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience,in the sam way that a small part of us hoped getting“the Rachel”might make us look jusa little bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight.[B]enjoyment in progress.[C]happiness in retrospect.[D]lasting reward.37.We learn from Paragraph2that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph4,the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Part BDirections:The following paragraph are given in a wrong order.For Questions41-45 you are required to reorganize those paragraph into a coherent text by choosing fro the list A-G to filling them into the numbered boxes.Paragraph E and C have bee correctly placed.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10points)[A]No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm the humanities.You can,Mr.Menand points out,became a lawyer in three years and medical doctor in four.But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree i the humanities is nine years.Not surprisingly,up to half of all doctoral student in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B]His concern is mainly with the humanities:Literature,languages,philosoph and so on.These are disciplines that are going out of sytle:22%of American colleg graduates now major in business compared with only2%in history and4%in English However,many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses.Bu most find it difficult to agree on what a“general education”should look like At Harvard,Mr.Menand notes,“the great books are read because they have been read”they form a sort of social glue.[C]Equally unsurprisingly,only about half end up with professorships for whic they entered graduate school.There are simply too few posts.This is partly becaus universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.But fewer students want to stud humanities subjects:English department awarded more bachelor’s degrees in1970-7 than they did20years later.Fewer students requires fewer teachers.So,at thprofessional education should be kept separate,taught in different schools.Man students experience both varieties Although more than half of Harvard undergraduate end up in law,medicine or business,future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-art degree before embarking on a professional qualification[E]Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation top American universities have professionalized the professor.The growth on public money fo academic research has speeded the process:federal research grants rose fourfol between1960and1990,but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took it toll.Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career:as late as1969a third of America professors did not possess one.But the key idea behind professionalization,argue Mr.Menand,is that“the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specializatio are transmissible but not transferable.”So disciplines acquire a monopoly not jus over the production of knowledge,but also over the production of the producers o knowledge.[F]The key to reforming higher education,concludes Mr.Menand,is to alter th way in which“the producers of knowledge are produced.”Otherwise,academics wil continue to think dangerously alike,increasingly detached from the societies whic they study,investigate and criticize.“Academic inquiry,at least in some fields may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”Yet quite how that happens Mr.Menand dose not say.[G]The subtle and intelligent little book The marketplace of Ideas:Reform an Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking o applying to take a doctoral degree.They may then decide to go elsewhere.For something curious has been happening in American Universities,and Louis Menand a professor of English at Harvard University,captured it skillfully.SectionⅢWritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter to a friend of yours to1)recommend one of your favorite movies and2)give reasons for your

The vast majority of American still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating –a person may feel "they don't trust me anyway," and be tempted to "beat the system".

What is not included in the grocery list?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear several short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneModern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go and see animals from many different parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to clean. Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo was anything but natural. Although the zoo took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more freedom in large areas so that they can live more as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and the streams of water flow through the areas that the animals live in. There are few bars; instead, there is often only a deep ditch, filled with water, surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What were zoos like fifty years ago?12. Why did animals often become ill in the past?13. What are modern zoos like?Passage TwoSocial customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable－especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What did people feel a few years ago about a man smoking when a lady was in the room?15. What is right about social customs according to the passage?16. What does the story about the dinner party tell us?Passage ThreeThe British have the habit of queuing. If you have watched a TV news program about Britain or have seen an English film, you probably know of the people lining up one after another, getting on the bus, getting on the train or buying something, such as a newspaper. There is seldom any jumping of the queue. If somebody jumps the queue, the British people look down upon him or her. They think that he or she is ill-bred, and take a remarkably dim view of such behavior.In England you should never ask a woman her age. Women do not like others to know their ages. They think it is very impolite of you to ask their ages.Don’t try to bargain in Britain when you do the shopping. The British do not expect or welcome bargaining. Sometimes they consider it losing face. If it is a question of some expensive artwork or a large quantity of antique furniture or silver, you might try to work out a sensible overall price with your salesman. The British people seldom bargain, they just buy what they want at what they think a reasonable price, and take such a practice for granted.The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.17. According to the passage, why is a person despised by the British people if he or she jumps the queue?18. What is the question you should never ask if you talk with a woman?19. Why do the British seldom bargain when they do the shopping?20. What can you infer from this passage?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.
