Answer t
19、he questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 40 Robert Spring, a 19th * * century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelph
20、ia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U. S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen
21、 the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work
22、 look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Spring s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson,
23、the only daughter of General “Stonewall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in
24、poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals. 41 What was Robert Springs profession? （ A） He made metal goods. （ B） He purchased old books. （ C） He collected early U. S. autographs. （ D） He sold fakes. 42 England was one of the two big markets
25、 for Spring s forgeries because_. （ A） Spring was born in England （ B） England was an English-speaking country （ C） They were harder to be detected there （ D） They sold well there 43 Forgers usually sold their false products to_. （ A） collectors of antiques （ B） amateurs in the field （ C） indecent p
26、eople （ D） sharp-eyed experts 44 Spring created an imaginary person Miss Fanny Jackson_. （ A） to raise the market value of his forgeries （ B） to lessen the chance of his forgeries being detected by sharp-eyed experts （ C） to meet the demand in Britain after the Civil War for Southern letters and man
27、uscripts （ D） to give his false products a touch of mystery 45 We can infer from the last sentence that _. （ A） despite his hard work, Spring could not make ends meet （ B） Spring threw his hard-earned money about like dirt （ C） in the course of the fifteen years Spring sold numerous forgeries （ D） S
28、pring s false products could pass off as genuine 45 There are great careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great
29、area at a glance, people who perhaps know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. And these “generalists“ are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is
30、their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people s work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained“ man; and his educational background is properly techni
31、cal or professional. The generalist and especially the administrator deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated“ man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. A
32、nd very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn
33、out to be the right job for you but this is a pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to und
34、erstand yourself and your fitness for being an employee. 46 There is an increasing demand for_. （ A） all-round people in their own fields （ B） people whose job is to organize other people s work （ C） generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional （ D） specialists whose
35、chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others 47 The specialist is_. （ A） a man whose job is to train other people （ B） a man who has been trained in more than one field （ C） a man who can see the forest rather that the trees （ D） a man whose concern is mainly with technical or profe
36、ssional matters 48 The administrator is_. （ A） a “trained“ man who is more a specialist than a generalist （ B） a man who sees the tress as well as the forest （ C） a man who is very strong in the humanities （ D） a man who is an “educated“ specialist 49 During your training period it is important_. （
37、A） to try to be a generalist （ B） to choose a profitable job （ C） to find an organization which fits you （ D） to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist 50 A man s first job_. （ A） is never the right job for him （ B） should not be regarded as his final job （ C） should not be ch
