24、 has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. 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. But in
25、 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 perceived as having more integrity than plainer men, effort and ability were thought to account for thei
26、r 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 exe
27、cutives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight success.Why are attractive women I not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine(女性的) and
28、an attractive man more. masculine (男性的) 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 on
29、ly 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 attrac
30、tiveness. 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
31、 received the fewest votes.46 The word “liability“ (Line 4, Para. 1 ) most probably, means,“ _“.（A）misfortune（B） instability（C） disadvantage（D）burden47 In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _.（A）reinforces the feminine qualities required（B） makes women look more honest and capable（C） is of pr
32、imary importance to woman（D）often enables women to succeed quickly48 Bowmans experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _.（A）turns out to be an obstacle to men（B） affects men and women alike（C） has as little effect on men as on women（D）is more of an obstacle than a benefit to
33、women49 It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often _.（A）practical（B） prejudiced（C） old - fashioned（D）radical50 The author writes this passage to _.（A）discuss the negative aspects of being attractive（B） give advice to job - seekers who are attractive（C） demand equal ri
34、ghts for women（D）emphasize the importance of appearance50 A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behaviors. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives, that tend to
35、 encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which one of the three groups borrow most people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes-he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947 to 1950, the answer was: people with risin
36、g incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research
37、surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of income increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,“ she said, “well have to pay more for meat anal milk, well have l
38、ess to spend on other things.“ Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer s resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay these prices, they are too high.“Traditional assumptions should be investigated carefully
39、, and factors of time and place should be considered. The investigations mentioned above were carded out in America.Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saying and spending patterns. The co
40、nditionmost conductive to spending appears to be price stability, ff prices here been stable and people have become accustomed, to consider them “right“ and expect them to remain stable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices with occasi
41、onal sales or discounts is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.51 The example of the mechanics wife is intend to show film in times of rising prices, _.（A）people with declining income tend to buy less（B） people with stable income tend to borrow less（C） people with increasing inco
42、me tend to buy more（D）people with money also tend to buy less52 Finding in investigations in Britain indicate _.（A）certain factors should be taken into account（B） people in Britain behave in the same way as those in America（C） price stability results from a correct understanding of consumer psycholo
43、gy（D）occasional discounts and sales are necessary53 According to the passage people tend to buy more when _.（A）prices are expected to go up（B） prices are expected to go down（C） prices dont change（D）business policy remains unchanged54 The best title of the passage is _.（A）Consumers Purchasing Power（B
44、） Relationship between Income and Purchasing Power（C） Traditional Assumptions（D）Studies in Consumer Behavior55 According to the passage, what does the author think of the traditional assumptions about consumer behavior?（A）The assumptions are not always true.（B） They are in reliable.（C） They are in c
45、onsistent with the findings in investigation.（D）The assumptions are not at all wrong.55 Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction - room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers
46、to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down“ the goods. For the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raise platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans prob
47、ably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase“. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called sub hasta, meaning “under the spear“, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In En
48、gland in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle“: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, frui
49、t, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction - rooms at Christies and Sothebys in London and New York are world - famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers.
