1.PART II READING COMPREHENSION
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:
2.SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by fourteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked [A] , [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:
From the Chrysler Corporation to the Central Intelligence Agency, cultural diversity programs are flourishing in American organizations today. Firms can no longer safely assume that every employee walking in the door has similar beliefs or expectations. Whereas North American white males may believe in challenging authority, Asians tend to respect and defer to it. In Hispanic cultures, people often bring music, food, and family members to work, a custom that U. S. businesses have traditionally not allowed. A job applicant who won't make eye contact during an interview may be rejected for being unapproachable, when according to her culture, she was just being polite. As a larger number of women, minorities, and immigrants enter the U. S. work force, the workplace is growing more diverse. It is estimated that by 2008 women will make up about 48 percent of the U. S. work force, and African Americans and Hispanics will each account for about 11 percent; by the year 2050, minorities will make up over 50 percent of the American population.Cultural diversity refers to the differences among people in a work force due to race, ethnicity, and gender. Increasing cultural diversity is forcing managers to learn to supervise and motivate people with a broader range of values systems. According to a recent survey by the American Management Association, half of all U. S. employers have established some kind of formal initiative to promote and manage cultural diversity. Although demographics isn't the only reason for the growth of these programs, it is a compelling one. An increasing number of organizations have come to believe that diversity, like quality and customer service, is a competitive edge. A more diverse work force provides a wider range of ideas and perspectives and fosters creativity and innovation. Avenues for encouraging diversity include recruiting at historically black colleges and universities, training and development, mentoring, and revamped promotion review policies. To get out the message about their commitment to diversity, many organizations establish diversity councils made up of employees, managers, and executives. Although many Fortune 500 companies are making diversity part of their strategic planning process, some programs stand out from the crowd. At Texas Instruments, strategies for enhancing diversity include an aggressive recruiting plan, diversity training, mentoring, and an incentive compensation program that rewards managers for fostering diversity. Each business unit has a diversity manager who implements these strategies and works closely with the company's Diversity Network. The network provides a forum of employees to share ideas, solicit support, and build coalitions. Convinced that strengthening diversity is a business imperative, Du Pont has established several programs to achieve that goal. In addition to training workshops and mentoring, Du Pont has established over 100 multicultural networks through which employees share work and life experiences and strive to help women and minorities reach higher levels of leadership and responsibility within the organization. Over half of Du Pont's new hires for professional and managerial positions are minorities and women. Disney World's director of diversity wants theme park guests to see themselves reflected in the diversity of Disney's employees. Working to attract diverse employees, Disney hopes to convince
them that the organization understands, respects, and values who they are. By holding a variety of diversity celebrations every year—including Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday, Asian-Pacific Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Disability Awareness Month, and Native American Heritage Month—Disney opens the door to this kind of understanding. What do we learn from strong, successful diversity program such as these, as well as similar programs at Microsoft, Xerox, Procter & Gamble and Digital Equipment Corporation? First, they can go a long way toward eliminating prejudice in the workplace and removing barriers to advancement. Second, to be more than just the latest corporate buzzword, diversity programs require commitment from the top and a culture that supports an inclusive environment.(分数:6.00)

Guilt and shame as methods of discipline are to be eschewed along with raised hands and leather straps. Fear, guilt and shame as methods of moral instruction are seen as failures in decent parenting. Parents want their children to be happy and how can you feel happy when you are feeling guilty, fearful or ashamed? If we were really convinced that using fear, guilt or shame as methods of discipline worked, though, we might be more ready to use them as techniques. But we aren't convinced that this is the case. We won't have more socially responsible people if fear, guilt and shame are part of their disciplinary diet as children. Instead, we will simply have unhappy people. Responsible behavior has nothing to do with the traditional methods of raising moral children. This doesn't mean that guilt isn't an important feeling. It is. Guilt helps keep people on the right moral track. But guilt is a
derivative emotion, one that follows from having violated an internalized moral standard. This is far different than making someone feel guilty in order to create the standard in the first instance. My wife once edited a magazine about hunger. A view held by many associated with the sponsoring organization claimed: You can't get people to give money to starving children by making them feel guilty. So the magazine didn't show pictures of starving children, children with doleful eyes. Instead, there were photos of women in the fields, portraits of peasant farmers and pictures of political organizers. But the publishers weren't completely right about believing that guilt-inducing pictures don't lead to moral action. In fact, it was the graphic pictures of starving children in Somalia that called the world's attention to the dire situation there. The power of television is that it does bring images of others' tragedies directly into our home. No rational analysis can do the same. When we are moved to pity, we should also be moved to action. If we don't do anything, then we feel guilty. We become part of the problem we see and feel guilty for letting bad things happen to people. How can I, good person that I am, let this continue? What have pricked the conscience here are guilty feelings. Guilty feelings arise when we have violated a moral norm that we accept as valid. A person who feels guilty, notes philosopher Herbert Morris, is one who has internalized norms and, as such, is committed to avoiding wrong. The mere fact that the wrong is believed to have occurred, regardless of who bears responsibility for it, naturally causes distress. When we are attached to a person, injury to that person causes us pain regardless of who or what has occasioned the injury. We needn't believe that we had control over hurting (or not helping) another person in order to feel guilty. Psychologists Nico Frijda and Batja Mesquita of the University of Amsterdam find that people feel guilty about having harmed someone even when it was accidental. Nearly half the people they interviewed felt guilty for having caused unintended harm, such as hurting one's mother when leaving home to marry. Unintentional harm may lead to as strong guilty feelings as intentional harm. In other words, being careless is as much a source of guilt as intentional harm. We say, If only I had been more careful, If only I had paid more attention, If only I were a better driver. The fact that a court may not even bring charges against you in the first place may help to assuage some of the pain but it doesn't remove all the feelings of guilt. The feeling is useful in so far as it makes us more cautious, makes us better drivers or moves us to socially responsible action. The sociopath never experiences such feelings and therefore poses a danger to society; the neurotic experiences so much of it that he can't function normally in society. Feeling guilty for harm you have caused when you aren't responsible is possible because there is a more generalized readiness to accept responsibility for your actions. Guilt arises when we think we have had choices and then have made the wrong moral choice. Guilt and responsibility appear to go together. If we do harm and feel no guilty, then we don't believe we are responsible for what we've done. This means that we see ourselves as victims—of circumstances, of coercion, of ignorance and so forth. Remember that people who think of themselves as victims do so because they believe they have no control over events in their lives. They don't feel responsible and therefore don't feel guilty either. Several tactics can be used in disavowing responsibility: following the crowd, it is someone else's problem, it was done under coercion. None of us is perfect and that we live in an imperfect world. This means that we can't avoid hurting others. If we accept this, then we have to accept guilty feelings as a consequence of being moral people.(分数:10.00)

C.Guilt is a feeling that comes with breaking some moral standard. √ D.The feeling of guilt often goes together with shame and fear.
解析:解析:细节题。第二段第四句指出,内疚是一种后天才有的情感,是违背了内在道德标准后而衍生出来的一种感觉。故[C]为答案。首段第五、六句指出,如果我们真的坚信用恐惧、内疚和羞耻进行教育行
之有效的话,我们或许更乐意把它们当作教育孩子的方法和手段。但我们不相信这真的会有效。故排除[A];首段第三句指出,人们认为使用恐惧、内疚和羞耻感的方法培养孩子的道德观不是一种良好的教育方法。故排除[B];文中虽然提到了内疚、羞耻和恐惧,但没有提及三种情感相伴相生,故排除[D]。
(2).The publishers of the magazine mentioned in the third paragraph think________.(分数:2.00) A.guilt-inducing photos can bring on moral action
B.it's not sure whether guilt-inducing photos bring on moral action C.guilt-inducing photos partially help bring on moral action D.moral action has nothing to do with guilt-inducing photos √
解析:解析:细节题。第三段第五句指出,发行方不相信使人们感到内疚的画面能唤起道德行为,但他们在这一点上并不完全正确。故[D]为答案,同时排除[B]和[C];该段提到了让人们感到内疚的画面会让人们采取道德行为,但这是作者的观点,不是发行方的观点,故排除[A]。

A.They went with the stream. B.They were misled by others. √ C.They were forced to do it.
D.Other people should bear the blame.
解析:解析:细节题。倒数第二段最后两句指出:他们没有责任感,所以不会感到内疚,经常用一些方法逃避责任:随大流,认为那是其他人的问题,认为自己是在受胁迫的情况下做的。可见,[A]、[C]和[D]都是逃避责任的借口,只有[B]不是,故为答案。
High, high above the North Pole, on the first day of 1969, two professors of English literature approached each other at a combined velocity of 1,200 miles per hour. They were protected from the thin, cold air by the pressurized cabins of two Boeing 707s, and from the risk of collision by the prudent arrangement of the international air corridors. Although they had never met, the two men were known to each other by name. They were, in fact, in process of exchanging posts for the next six months, and in an age of more leisurely transportation the intersection of their respective routes might have been marked by some interesting human gesture: had they waved, for example, from the decks of two ocean liners crossing in mid-Atlantic, each man simultaneously focusing a telescope, by chance, on the other, with his free hand; or, more plausibly, a little mime of mutual appraisal might have been played out through the windows of two railway compartments halted side by side at the same station somewhere in Hampshire or the Mid-West, the more self-conscious party relieved to feel himself, at last, moving off, only to discover that it is the other man's train that is moving first... However, it was not to be. Since the two men were
in airplanes, and one was bored and the other frightened of looking out of the window; since, in any case, the planes were too distant from each other to be mutually visible with the naked eye, the crossing of their paths at the still point of the turning world passed unremarked by anyone other than the narrator of this duplex chronicle. \"Duplex\" as well as having the general meaning of two-fold applies in the jargon of electrical telegraphy to systems in which messages are sent simultaneously in opposite directions. Imagine, if you will, that each of these two professors of English Literature is connected to his native land, place of employment and domestic hearth by an infinitely elastic cord of emotions, attitudes and values: a cord which stretches and stretches almost to the point of invisibility, but never quite to breaking-point, as he hurtles through the air at 600 miles per hour. Imagine that when the two men alight in each others' territory, and go about their business and pleasure, whatever vibrations are passed back by one to his native habitat will be felt by the other, and vice versa, and thus return to the transmitter subtly modified by the response of the other party; may, indeed, return to him along the other party's cord of communication, which is, after all, anchored in the place where he has just arrived. One of these differences we can take in at a glance from our privileged narrative altitude (higher than that of any jet). It is obvious, from his stiff, upright posture, and fulsome gratitude to the stewardess serving him a glass of orange juice, that Philip Swallow, flying westward, is unaccustomed to air travel; while to Morris Zapp, slouched in the seat of his eastbound aircraft, chewing a dead cigar (a hostess has made him extinguish it) and glowering at the meager portion of ice dissolving in his plastic tumbler of bourbon, the experience of long-distance air travel is tediously familiar. Philip Swallow has, in fact, flown before; but so seldom, and at such long intervals, that on each occasion he suffers the same trauma, an alternating current of fear and reassurance that charges and relaxes his system in a persistent and exhausting rhythm. While he is on the ground, preparing for his journey, he thinks of flying with exhilaration: soaring up, up and away into the blue sky, cradled in aircraft that seem, from a distance, effortlessly at home in that element, as though sculpted from the sky itself. This confidence begins to fade a little when he arrives at the airport and winces at the shrill screaming of jet engines. In the sky the planes look very small. On the runways they look very big. Therefore close up they should look even bigger but in fact they don't. His own plane, for instance, just outside the window of the assembly lounge, doesn't look quite big enough for all the people who are going to get into it. This impression is confirmed when he passes through the tunnel into the cabin of the aircraft, a cramped tube full of writhing limbs. But when he, and the other passengers, are seated, well-being returns. The seats are so remarkably comfortable that one feels quite content to stay put, but it is reassuring that the aisle is free should one wish to walk up it. There is soothing music playing. The lighting is restful. A stewardess offers him the morning paper. His baggage is safely stowed away in the plane somewhere, or if it is not, that isn't his fault, which is the main thing. Flying is, after all, the only way to travel.(分数:6.00)
(1).When the writer talks about two ships and two trains, he is________.(分数:2.00) A.recalling his past experience
B.expressing his regret over his past time
C.imagining what might have happened in the past √ D.reminding the reader that we owe our convenience to them
解析:解析:推断题。首段第四句指出,在一个交通从容悠闲的时代,这两个人路线的交叉点可能会因为一些有趣的人类手势而具有标志性意义。比如说,两艘远洋客轮在大西洋中相遇,两人站在甲板上碰巧用各自的望远镜对准了对方,于是用闲着的那只手向对方挥手致意;或者,更有可能的是,在汉普郡或者美国中西部的某个地方,两列火车并排停靠在同一个车站,在紧挨着的两个相向的车厢里,隔着车窗,会演出一幕互评的小哑剧,感觉不自然的一方如释重负地感到自己的车终于开动了,结果却发现先开动的是对方的车。根据句中使用的虚拟语气可以判断这里是作者在想象,故[C]为答案。
(2).According to the passage, ________connects the two professors with their motherlands.(分数:2.00) A.a springy rope
B.an invisible feeling √ C.a series of events D.telecommunication
解析:解析:细节题。第二段第二句指出,不妨发挥一下想象,有一根具有无限弹力的,凝结了他们的情感、态度和价值观的纽带将他们与自己工作和生活的地方相连接。当这两位英国文学教授以每小时600英里的速度穿梭云霄的时候,这条纽带被无限拉伸到几乎不可见的远方,但却不会断裂。这里的“an elastic cord”应指情感纽带,故[B]为答案。
(3).The word \" fulsome\" in the third paragraph probably means________.(分数:2.00) A.polite
B.superfluous √ C.insincere D.euphemistic
解析:解析:语义题。第三段首句指出,从读码者得天独厚的高度(比任何喷气式飞机都要高)来看,我们可以发现其中有一点不同。接着指出Philip Swallow的情况,很显然,从僵硬笔直的坐姿和对端上橙汁的空中小姐“fulsome”感激的态度来看,朝西飞行的菲利普.斯沃娄并不习惯空中旅行。由此可知,Philip Swallow由于很少乘坐飞机而惴惴不安,对空中小姐提供的服务也是不停地感谢,故[B]“过度的,过分的”为答案。
Our next task is to consider the policies and principles a ruler ought to follow in dealing with his subjects or with his friends. Since I know many people have written on this subject, I am concerned it may be thought presumptuous for me to write on it as well, especially since what I have to say, as regards this question in particular, will differ greatly from the recommendations of others. But my hope is to write a book that will be useful, at least to those who read it intelligently, and so I thought it sensible to go straight to a discussion of how things are in real life and not waste time with a discussion of an imaginary world. For many authors have constructed imaginary republics and principalities that have never existed in practice and never could; for the gap between how people actually behave and how they ought to behave is so great that anyone who ignores everyday reality in order to live up to an ideal will soon discover he has been taught how to destroy himself, not how to preserve himself. For anyone who wants to act the part of a good man in all circumstances will bring about his own ruin, for those he has to deal with will not all be good. So it is necessary for a ruler, if he wants to hold on to power, to learn how not to be good, and to know when it is and when it is not necessary to use this knowledge. Let us leave to one side, then, all discussion of imaginary rulers and talk about practical realities. I maintain that all men, when people talk about them, and especially rulers, because they hold positions of authority, are described in terms of qualities that are inextricably linked to censure or to praise. So one man is described as generous, another as a miser; one is called open-handed, another tight-fisted; one man is cruel, another gentle; one untrustworthy, another reliable; one effeminate and cowardly, another bold and violent; one sympathetic, another self-important; one promiscuous, another monogamous; one straightforward, another duplicitous; one tough, another easy-going-, one serious, another cheerful; one religious, another atheistical; and so on. Now I know everyone will agree that if a ruler could have all the good qualities I have listed and none of the bad ones, then this would be an excellent state of affairs. But one cannot have all the good qualities, nor always act in a praiseworthy fashion, for we do not live in an ideal world. You have to be canny enough to avoid being thought to have those evil qualities that would make it impossible for you to retain power; as for those that are compatible with holding on to power, you should avoid them if you can; but if you cannot, then you should not worry too much if people say you have them. Above all, do not be upset if you are supposed to have those
vices a ruler needs if he is going to stay securely in power, for, if you think about it, you will realize there are some ways of behaving that are supposed to be virtuous, but would lead to your downfall, and others that are supposed to be wicked, but will lead to your welfare and peace of mind.(分数:6.00)
(1).The word \"presumptuous\" in the first paragraph probably means________.(分数:2.00) A.showing dishonesty B.showing rebellion C.showing submission D.showing disrespect √
解析:解析:语义题。首段第二句指出,“我知道许多人已就这一主题写过文章,所以我担心再次论及它可能会被人们认为太过“presumptuous”,尤其是刚好在此问题上我的主张迥异于其他人。”根据句中的因果关系可以看出就某个主题写与别人观点不同的文章,与诚实不诚实无关,故排除[A];这里作者并没有说挑战权威或传统观点,因此谈不上叛逆,故排除[B];观点与别人的观点相反,故不可能表示服从,因此排除[C];只有“不尊重”符合上下文语境,故[D]为答案。
(2).If a ruler follows other authors' suggestion, he might________.(分数:2.00) A.try his best to be a good egg all the time √
B.understand the importance of an authoritative statement C.try to gain great fame and high prestige D.know when to be kind and when to be cruel
解析:解析:推断题。首段最后两句指出,任何想在一切情况下都做好人的,只能招致自我毁灭,原因是他不得不与之打交道的那些人并不都是好人。因此,如果统治者要保住权力,那他就有必要了解不做好人之道,并且知道何时有必要,何时无必要使用此道。从这里可以推断出,其他作者建议人们要一直做好人,而作者则认为应该审时度势,不应一概而论,故[A]为答案。
(3).In the book, the author's discussion most likely focuses on________.(分数:2.00) A.presenting a real world to his readers B.describing an ideal society to his readers C.explaining how to construct a perfect system D.illustrating what a wise ruler should do √
解析:解析:推断题。第一段末句是文章的主题句:因此,如果统治者想要牢牢地把握权力,那他就有必要了解不做好人之道,并且知道何时有必要,何时无必要使用此道。因此可以推断出作者书中的重点是如何做一名明智的统治者,故[D]为答案。作者告诉读者现实世界是什么样子的目的是为了指导读者的行为,因此[A]不是作者论述的重点,故排除;同时可排除[B];文中没有提到构建理想社会体系问题,故排除[C]。 3.SECTION B SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are eight short-answer questions based on the passages in SECTION A. Answer each question in NO more than 10 words in the space provided. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析: 4.Passage One (分数:2.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:To highlight outstanding cultural diversity programs.)
解析:解析:第四段指出,虽然有许多《财富》五百强企业在尝试把多元文化作为其战略计划部署的一部分,但一些公司的计划还是脱颖而出。接下来,作者分别以德州仪器、杜邦公司、迪斯尼公司为例介绍这些公司成功的多元文化管理经验,故答案是To highlight outstanding cultural diversity programs。 5.Passage Two (分数:2.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:Soothe.)
解析:解析:由题干关键词定位到第七段,第七段末句指出,法院首先可能不会将责任归咎到你身上,而这或许能帮助“assuage”一些痛苦但不能消除所有的内疚感。从后面的“remove”可以推断出“assuage”应与其属于同一语义场,表示“减轻”或“消除”,故答案是Soothe。 Passage Three(分数:6.00)
(1).Why did the two professors of English literature take their flights?(分数:2.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:Because they were interchanging their teaching posts.)
解析:解析:由题干关键词定位到原文第一段,首段第三、四句指出,尽管他们素未谋面,却久闻对方的大名。事实上,他们正在奔赴自己新的工作地点,因为接下来的6个月他们会互换岗位。故答案是Because they were interchanging their teaching posts。
(2).What does \"the same trauma\" refer to in the third paragraph?(分数:2.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:The alternating current of fear and reassurance.)
解析:解析:由题干关键词定位到第三段,该段段尾指出,菲利普.斯沃娄以前也坐过飞机,但次数之少,间隔的时间之长,使得他每次都感到同样的精神折磨。接着后文解释了“同样的精神折磨”指的是恐惧和释然感轮番袭来,使他的神经一会儿紧张,一会儿放松,直搞得他筋疲力尽。因此答案是The alternating current of fear and reassurance。
(3).When does Philip Swallow feel comfortable?(分数:2.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:When he is seated on the plane.)
解析:解析:由题干关键词定位到最后一段,末段第八句指出,但是当他和其他乘客坐定后,舒服愉快的感觉又回来了。故答案是When he is seated on the plane。 Passage Four(分数:6.00)
(1).What is the generally accepted state of highest perfection for a ruler?(分数:2.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:He has all good qualities and none of bad ones.)
解析:解析:由题干关键词定位到第三段,该段提到不难想象,人人都会认为,如果一位统治者能够拥有所有的优良品质而没有一项恶劣品质,那该是多么完美。因此大家普遍接受的统治者的最完美的状态是拥有所有的优良品质而没有一项恶劣品质。因此答案是He has all good qualities and none of bad ones。 (2).What does a ruler need if he wants to secure the power in his own hands?(分数:2.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:Immoral qualities.)
解析:解析:全文末句指出:总之,如果人们认为你实施了一个统治者为巩固权力所需的那些恶行,你也不必为此感到不安,因为,只要你动脑筋想想,就会意识到有些行为方式虽然被认为是高尚的,却会使你垮台,而那些被认为恶劣的品行却会带给你幸福与内心的安宁。可见,作者认为统治者要想保住权力的话,有时需要一些恶劣的品性,故答案是Immoral qualities。
(3).What would be a suitable title for the passage?(分数:2.00)
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案:How to Be a Wise Ruler.)
解析:解析:作者开篇提到统治者在对待臣民和朋友时该遵守的一些政策和原则。并通过分析现实情况告知读者:任何情况下都做好人的,只能招致自我毁灭。首段最后一句是文章主题句,作者表明如果统治者要想牢牢地把握权力,他就有必要了解不做好人之道,并知道何时使用此道。第二段和第三段均是对该观点的具体阐述。由此可知,文章主要讲述如何成为一个明智的统治者。所以答案为How to Be a Wise Ruler。
