Text 1 The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside M

12、y Head Forever, at Sothebys in London on September 15th 200 All but two pieces sold, fetching more than $70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy. T

13、he world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50

14、billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In

15、the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses, Sothebys and Christies, had to

16、 pay put nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying impressionists at the end of 1989. This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though so

17、me have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christies chief executive, says “Im pretty confident were at the bottom.“ What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that th

18、e biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good works to sell. The three Ds death, debt and divorce still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.（分数：5.00）(1).In the first paragraph, Damien

19、Hirsts sale was referred to as “a last victory“ because _.（分数：1.00）A.the art market had witnessed a succession of victoriesB.the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC.Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpiecesD.it was successfully made just before the world finan

20、cial crisis(2).By saying “spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable“ ( Line 1-2, Para. 3), the author suggests that _.（分数：1.00）A.collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctionsB.people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleriesC.art collection as a fashio

21、n had lost its appeal to a great extentD.works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true? _.（分数：1.00）A.Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008B.The art market surpassed many other Industries in momen

22、tumC.The art market generally went downward in various waysD.Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come(4).The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are _.（分数：1.00）A.auction houses favoritesB.contemporary trendsC.factors promoting artwork circulationD.styles representing impressionists

23、(5).The most appropriate title for this text could be _.（分数：1.00）A.Fluctuation of Art PricesB.Up-to-date Art AuctionsC.Art Market in DeclineD.Shifted Interest in ArtsText 2 I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room a womens group that invited men to join them. Throughout

24、the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands dont talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. H

25、e gestured toward his wife and said. “Shes the talker in our family.“ The room burst into laughter, the man looked puzzled and hurt. “Its true“ he explained. “When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didnt keep the conversation going, we would spend the whole evening in silence.“ Thi

26、s episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler

27、 Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed but only a few of the men gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year a virtua

28、l epidemic of failed conversation. In my own research, complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning,

29、cooking and social arrangements. Instead, they focused on communications. “He doesnt listen to me.“ “He doesnt talk to me.“ I found, as Hacker observed years before, that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of the

30、ir wives. In short, the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman flares at the back of it, wanting to talk.（分数：5.00）(1).What is most wives main expectation of

31、their husbands? _.（分数：1.00）A.Talking to themB.Trusting themC.Supporting their careersD.Sharing housework(2).Judging from the context, the phrase “wreaking havoc“ (Line 3, Para.2) most probably means _.（分数：1.00）A.generating motivationB.exerting influenceC.causing damageD.creating pressure(3).All of t

32、he following are true EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.men tend to talk more in public than womenB.nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversationC.women attach much importance to communication between couplesD.a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse(4).Which of the fol

33、lowing can best summarize the main idea of this text? _.（分数：1.00）A.The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologistsB.Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalitiesC.Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriageD.Conversational patterns between man and wife are different(5)

34、.In the following part immediately after this text, the author will most probably focus on _.（分数：1.00）A.a vivid account of the new book Divorce TalkB.a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoonC.other possible reasons for a high divorce rate in the U.SD.a brief introduction to the political

35、scientist Andrew HackerText 3 Over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors habits among consumers. These habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks or wipe counters almost without thinking, often in response to a care

36、fully designed set of daily cues. “There are fundamental public health problems, like dirty hands instead of a soap habit, that remain killers only because we cant figure out how to change peoples habits,“ said Dr. Curtis, the director of the Hygiene Center at the London School of Hygiene that juror

37、s should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial by their peers; and that verdict should represent the conscie

38、nce of the community and not just the letter of the law. The jury is also said to be the best surviving example of direct rather than representative democracy. In a direct democracy, citizens take turns governing themselves, rather than electing representatives to govern for them. But as recently as

39、 in 1968, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons of supposedly superior intelligence, education, and moral character. Although the Supreme Court of the United States had prohibited intentional racial discrimina

40、tion in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of Strauder v. West Virginia, the practice of selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws. The system also failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid-20th centu

41、ry. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898, it was not until the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless they personally asked to have their names included on the jury list. Th

42、is practice was justified by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative of women through the 1960s. In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act, ushering in a new era of democratic reforms for the jury. This law abolished sp

43、ecial educational requirements for federal jurors and required them to be selected at random from a cross section of the entire community. In the landmark 1975 decision Taylor v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court extended the requirement that juries be representative of all parts of the community to the

44、state level. The Taylor decision also declared sex discrimination in jury selection to be unconstitutional and ordered states to use the same procedures for selecting male and female jurors.（分数：5.00）(1).From the principles of the U.S. jury system, we learn that _.（分数：1.00）A.Both literate and illiter

45、ate people can serve on juriesB.defendants are immune from trial by their peersC.no age limit should be imposed for jury serviceD.judgment should consider the opinion of the public(2).The practice of selecting so-called elite jurors prior to 1986 showed _.（分数：1.00）A.the inadequacy of antidiscriminat

46、ion lawsB.the prevalent discrimination against certain racesC.the conflicting ideals in jury selection proceduresD.the arrogance common among the Supreme Court judges(3).Even in the 1960s, women were seldom on the jury list in some states because _.（分数：1.00）A.they were automatically banned by state

47、lawsB.they fell far short of the required qualificationsC.they were supposed to perform domestic dutiesD.they tended to evade public engagement(4).After the Jury Selection and Service Act was passed, _.（分数：1.00）A.sex discrimination in jury selection was unconstitutional and had to be abolishedB.educ

48、ational requirements became less rigid in the selection of federal jurorsC.jurors at the state level ought to be representative of the entire communityD.states ought to conform to the federal court in reforming the jury system(5).In discussing the US jury system, the text centers on _.（分数：1.00）A.its
