第8题：
单选题The author’s attitude towards “Diasporas” is that _____.AThere is increasing hostility towards immigrants in rich countries.
BImmigrant networks are a rare bright spark in the world economy and rich countries should welcome them.
CThe Diasporas should return to their homelands so that poor countries will not suffer as a result of “brain drain”.
DHard-working immigrants will depress the wages of the locals although they may greatly increase productivity.
正确答案： B解析：
文章多处提到移民为世界经济发展做出贡献。例如第六段提到在富裕国家的“Migrants”不仅“send cash to their families”；他们还会帮助公司“operate in their home country.”不仅如此，倒数第二段提到了移民为富裕国家也做出的贡献。最后一段也提到“Rich countries”将会从宽松的移民政策中获益。因此B项指出移民是世界经济中难得一见的亮点，富裕国家应该欢迎他们是符合作者对“diasporas”的态度的。A选项是一个事实，不是作者态度。因此不选A。文章最后一段“The prospect of working abroad spurs more people to acquire valuable skills, and not all subsequently emigrate”说明有些人只是到国外学习，并不移民；另外一些人才会回国开公司，因此担心不发达国家会“brain drain”是过分夸张的，故C选项错误。从文章第七段可以看出的确有一些研究表明来自“unskilled immigration”的竞争会压低“unskilled locals”的工资，但是其他研究发现，这种影响“to be small”或者“non-existent”，因此D项错误。 -

问答题Practice 1 Twenty years ago, Motorola looked upon the Japanese with something close to fear. The Chicago company’s television-manufacturing division had been large and profitable in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, however, high costs and a rising tide of inexpensive Japanese TVs were taking a heavy toll. “The Japanese were very aggressive”, recalls Motorola spokesman Mario Salvadori. “They wanted to get market share.” With cutthroat pricing, they did—eventually running nearly every U.S. electronic company out of the TV business. Motorola sold its Quasar TV unit to a Japanese company in 1974. But while other U.S. companies were floored for foreign competition, Motorola refocused its energies, It turned to wireless communications—an industry it had pioneered (with mobile radios and walkie-talkie) in the 1920s. It was a prescient move.正确答案： 【参考译文】
20年前,摩托罗拉公司带着近乎害怕的心理看待日本企业。早在(20世纪)60年代,这个公司芝加哥的电视制造分公司规模大、利润高。但在70年代初,高成本以及日本廉价电视机日趋上升的势头使其遭受重创。“日本人非常嚣张,”摩托罗拉公司发言人马里奥·萨尔瓦多瑞追忆道,“他们想分享市场。”通过残酷无情的价格战,他们如愿以偿,并最终把几乎所有美国电子公司赶出电视机行业。1974年,摩托罗拉将其Quasar 电视生产厂卖给了一家日本公司。但是,当其他美国公司在对外竞争中败北的时候,摩托罗拉公司重新调整了产业方向,转向无线通讯。这是一个它在20年代开拓的产业(另外还有移动收音机和步话机)。此举确有先见之明。解析： 暂无解析 -

第16题：
Beauty has always been regarded as something praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ′When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
The underlined word "liability" (in Para.1) most probably means "___________".A.disadvantage
B.advantage
C.misfortune
D.trouble答案：A解析：词义题。定位到第一段“But in the executive circle，beauty can become a liability．"联系第二段第一句“While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder．it is harmful to a woman．"可知liability的意思是“劣势”。 -

第二篇
Going Her Own Way
When she was twelve,Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life.She decided
that she wanted to continue her education.Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home after
primary school,though some attended private Catholic"finishing"schools.There they learned a little about
music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested
Maria-or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously.She read constantly
and brought her books everywhere.One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study
in the dark.
Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way.That meant attending the public high
school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the
"classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi-
tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and
history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the
classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most
people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.
Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most.
But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did,
with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to
oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.
In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome.
Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,the
teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating
them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way.
Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who
failed to achieve or were disobedient.In those days,most Italian girls__________.
A:went to classical schools
B:didn't go to high. school
C:went to"finishing"schools
D:went to technical schools答案：B解析：由文章第三段第一句话“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school.”可知答案为C。
由文章第一段第三句话“Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home afterprimary school...”可知答案为B
由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Most people including Maria' s father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”说明玛利亚的父亲对女人所持的是传统观念。
由文章最后一段最后一句话可知，在那时的意大利高中学校中，教师是非常严格的。
文章内容表明，玛利亚意志非常坚定，她冲破传统的束缚，进了她向往的技校。 -
