I really like your business psychology class, but Ihave one major concern about the last assignment, you know. The one where we have to interview a local business owner, uh, I mean entrepreneur?M: Are you having trouble coming up with interview questions?W: Well, that’s just it. I mean, I worked on my high school newspaper for years, so I actually have great questions to ask. The thing is...I’m new to the area, and I don’t know people off campus...So, I was wondering if...well, could you possibly give me the name of someone I could interview...?M: You don’t know anyone who owns a business?W: Well, yeah, back home… my next-door neighbors. They own a shoe store, and they’re really successful—but they’re not local.M: Well, it wouldn’t be fair to the other students if I gave you the name of a contact—but I could help you figure out a way to find someone on your own. Let’s see... Do you read the local newspaper?W: Well, aren’t people like that awfully busy? Too busy to talk to a random college student.M: Many people enjoy telling the story of how they got started. Remember, this is a business psychology class, and for this assignment, I want you to get some real insight about business owners, their personality, what drives them to become an entrepreneur.Questions 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why does the student go to see the professor?20. Why does the student mention her high school newspaper?21. How does the professor help the student?22. What does the professor want the students to learn from the assignment?Long Conversation 2W: Hi, Martin.M: Hi, Kate. How are you?W: Fine. I’m relieved to have done my presentation!M: I’m sure! How did it go?W: Oh, OK in the end, but I was ever so nervous beforehand. It’s silly, because I do know my stuff quite well. I must know those statistics inside out, but when you have to get each table of results to come up in the right order. It can make you nervous. It was my first time using the computerized projector, and I was sure I was going to get the controls wrong, or something. And of course, that’s not a good situation, if you know you’ve got to listen to questions carefully, and be ready to answer quickly.M: But it was fine once you got going?W: Yes.M: I do feel that the standard of presentations could be improved in general. I think a lot of the lecturers agree with me, although I don’t honestly know what they can be expected to do about it. Students need to appreciate the difference between style and content. Too many presentations are just a mass of detailed content – all very worthy - without any attempt to engage people’s interest. Basic things, like looking at your audience’s faces, seem to get forgotten. And that makes it harder to concentrate on the points made about the research itself.W: Yes, there are qu ite a few improvements I’d like to see. Take tutorials, for example, I feel they are often a missed opportunity. I come out not feeling sure about what I’ve learnt.Week in week out, I faithfully plough through the reading list, which is fair enough, but then the discussion doesn’t seem to extract the main issues- It’s frustrating.Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What was Kate worried about before giving her presentation,?24. How does Martin feel during many presentations by students?25. What is Kate’s opinion of the tutorials she attends?Section BPassage OneWhen DNA fingerprinting was discovered in the mid 80’s, it was hailed as the biggest breakthrough in forensic science since normal fingerprinting and was even considered to be infallible.The technique exploits the fact that everyone, apart from genetic twins, has a unique genetic blueprint. This blueprint consists of about three billion so-called base pairs whose order makes up our genes. These base pairs thus control what the various cells in our body do.Scientists have discovered that the human genetic blueprint contains certain regions in which short sequences of base pairs repeat many times. It has been established that the different length of these stutters can be used to form a unique profile for each human being. Better still, this information could be extracted from minute samples of body tissue found at the scene of a crime.The resulting profile is converted into a series of bands on photographic film and this human bar-code can be compared with a profile of a suspect. The more bands that match, the lower the probability of a chance similarity.Although DNA fingerprinting was presented as evidence for the prosecution in a number of high profile trials, doubts slowly began to emerge as to the reliability of the results.It has been argued that DNA fingerprinting may have an intrinsic flaw in that some ethnic groups have genetic similarities that increase the chances of getting matched bands. This can make a wrong identification more likely to happen.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What was people’s attitudes toward DNA fingerprinting initially?27. What essential detail is DNA fingerprinting based on?28. According to the passage, what is a particular advantage of DNA fingerprinting?29. Why there subsequently have been doubts about the reliability of the technique DNA fingerprinting?Passage twoDuring the 20th century there has been a trend in both painting and sculpture towards the more or less complete abandonment of the given forms of nature or objective reality. Abstract artists deliberately concentrate on the formal element of a painting or a sculpture - color, shape, form or texture - in their own right. They consider this the most completely satisfying method of attaining a harmonious unity. They maintain that their compositions make a direct visual and emotional appeal, unspoilt by the more obviously non-artistic associations of religious, historical or literary subjects.Historically, the art of past eras has fluctuated between the extremes of representational and nonrepresentational styles. A comparison between the stylized figure from an Egyptian tomb and the graceful naturalism of a 4th century B.C. Greek statue shows that the Egyptians emphasized ―abstract‖ qualities more than the Greeks.The movement towards abstraction in our own day is much more violently anti-naturalistic. In 1910 Vasili Kandinski wrote an article in which he linked certain colors with human emotions -joy, sorrow, tranquility and so on - and proclaimed an ―abstract art of inner necessity.‖ Twenty years before, Georges Seurat had been pre-occupied with the emotive qualities of lines in a composition: for him descending lines caused a mood of sorrow, ascending lines brought joy, and horizontal lines a sense of stability.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. How has art changed in the 20th century?31. What do abstract artists think about traditional religious and historical art?32. According to the passage how does Georges Seurat feel about falling lines in a composition?Passage ThreeWalt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near Marceline, Missouri. From this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of the most famous and beloved motion-picture producers in history. Although he died in 1966, his name and artistic legacy continue to influence the lives of millions of people throughout the world. After several years of barely making ends meet as a cartoon artist operating from his Los Angeles garage, Disney had his first success in 1928, with his release of a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Throughout the next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons, and developed more of his highly profitable and enduring creations, such as Donald Duck andPluto. In the late 1930s, he issued the first full-length cartoon film. Snow White became an instant commercial and critical success. This was only the first of many films, both animated and not, produced by Disney and his studio. But as renowned as the Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best known for a string of spectacular amusement and theme parks. Starting with California's Disneyland in 1955 and culminating with the fantastically successful Disney World in Florida, Disney became a household name. In recent years, the theme park concept has become international, with openings in Tokyo and Paris. With the continuing success of Disney, the creations of future theme parks are under discussion.33. What is the passage mainly about?34. According to the passage, for what is Disney most famous?35. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?Section CEvery year, nine million people in the USA sign up for educational courses in film-making techniques, whilst dozens of magazines aim to update fans on the progress of forthcoming productions.A Los Angeles-based Internet start-up is aiming to tap into the national obsession with film by taking fans into the studios on-line to watch the making of certain movies in production. Through its website, the company aims to build a community of fans for these movies, who will gain access to progress reports from participating studios. These will give insights into the working of directors and cinematographers and, crucially, also offer fans the chance to contribute to the creative process itself.In this way, it is hoped to make the audience into 'emotional stakeholders' in the film. It is a natural extension of the process which keeps viewers glued to television soap operas week after week. The company aims to extend this principle, however, so that the feeling of involvement begins whilst the film is actually being created. Participating film-makers will present selected parts of their work-in-progress on the website, giving users the opportunity to comment on what they've just seen.The benefit to film-makers will be twofold. As well as receiving this valuable critical input, they will be able to cut down on marketing expenses. Around 150,000 people have already expressed an interest in the scheme. That represents quite a large group who, given their previous involvement, will be likely to want to see the finished product. And if they like both the film and the experience, they'll tell their friends.答案1. D2. C3.B4.B5.C6.C7.
