Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Direction: There are 4 passages in this 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 center.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Passage One
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive（欺骗性的）packaging rumpus（喧嚣）started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore（杂货店）and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same rime, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product’s market position.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 2000 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can’t be used anything but stuffing the garbage can.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
21. What started the public and congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus?
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) Consumers’ complaints about the changes in the package size.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) A senator’s discovery of the tricks in packaging.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) The rise in the unit price for many products.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
22. The word “undue” (Line 2, Para.2) means “________”.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) improper
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) adequate
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) unexpected
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) excessive
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
23. Consumers are concerned about the changes in the package size, mainly because ________.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar with
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) the unit price for a product often rises as a result
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) they have to pay for the cost of changing package sizes
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) this entails an increase in the cost of packaging
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
24. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to _________.

A) meet the needs of consumers
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) suit all kinds of products
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) enhance the market position of products
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) introduce new products
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs

阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) inferior packaging
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) the changes in package size
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) exaggerated illustrations on packages
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Passage Two
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
It sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm’s hierarchy.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can’t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
26. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own business.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) They attach more importance to workers than equipment.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
27. What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) He is one of the most important executives in the firms.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
28. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to _________.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) workers who can operate new equipment
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) technological and managerial staff
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) workers who lack basic background skills
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) top executives
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
29. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm’s competitive advantage is ____________.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) the introduction of new technologies
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) the improvement of worker’s basic skills
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) the rational composition of professional and managerial employees
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm’s hierarchy.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Passage Three
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect tot he subject（研究对象）. Too close a relation, and the writer may lose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul-the quality of life. Who should writer the biography of a family, for example? Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have the distance that would allow them to be fair, Similarly, a kin’s servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king, but a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the king’s biography-not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses: to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive: they attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus（耶稣）found in the bible are in this class.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Biographers may claim that their account is the “authentic” one. In advancing this claim, they are helped if the biography is “authorized” by the subject; this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. “Unauthorized” biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the “unauthorized” characterization usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even several “authentic” one. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell “the” story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and this has been proved by the history of biography.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
31. According to the author, an ideal biographer would be one who __________.
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) knows the subject very well and yet maintains a proper distance from him
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
B) is close to the subject and knows the techniques of biography writing
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
C) is independent and treats the subject with fairness and objectivity
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
D) possesses special private information and is sympathetic toward the subject

阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
A) the best biographies are meant tot transform their readers

B) biographies are authentic accounts of their subjects’ lives
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs

Passage Four
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
阳光论坛 www.sunnyol.com/bbs
The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined; speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speakers, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there may be a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.
