16、al area. Otherwise, the time and expense spent in travelling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economically impractical. Personal interviewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied
17、 may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method. It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate in many cases, human errors
18、may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewee as an invasion of privacy or threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondents statements, a certain amount of informat
19、ion lose results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully. In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untru
20、e responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanation, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify q
21、uestions or to interpret answers.36 It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively big geographical area_.（A）personal interviewing is most effective（B） personal interviewing is economically impractical（C） personal interviewing is the only
22、technique to get information（D）telephone interviewing may not be used37 Sometimes a researcher cannot get valid results because _.（A）the information needed is too complex to be gathered（B） personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques（C） personal interviewing is not as
23、 effective as other research techniques（D）both interviewer and interviewee may make mistakes during the interviewing38 In the second paragraph, the phrase “ an invasion of privacy“ most probably means（A）an unpleasant conversation（B） a challenge to interviewees professional skills（C） an interference
24、with interviewees personal affairs（D）an interference with interviewees hobby39 In the first sentence of the last paragraph, the pronoun“this“refers to_.（A）survey（B） question（C） answering（D）personal interviewing40 According to the last paragraph, one of the advantages of the personal interviewing is_
25、.（A）the interviewer can ask the interviewee questions again in different ways（B） the interviewer can ask the interviewee some personal questions（C） the initial question do not produce the information desired（D）no one is present to clarify questions40 My fathers reaction to the bank building at 43rd
26、Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite :“ You wont catch me putting my money in there!“ he declared. “Not in that glass box ! “Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I
27、 am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to
28、 have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing a
29、ttitude toward money. But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product
30、of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe; he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-wa
31、lled bank. Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人们的说法) begins.41 The main idea of this passage is that_.（A）money is not as valuable as it was
32、in the past（B） changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks（C） the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank（D）prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable42 How do the older generation and the younger on
33、e think about money?（A）The former thinks more of money than the latter.（B） The younger generation values money more than the older generation.（C） Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.（D）To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter the means of producin
34、g more money. 43 The word“ tangible“ (sentence 2, Paragraph 4) refers to something _.（A）that is precious（B） that is usable（C） that can be touched（D）that can be reproduced44 According to this passage, a modern banker should be_.（A）ambitious and friendly（B） reliable and powerful（C） sensible and impene
35、trable（D）imaginative and creative45 It can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards the new trend in bank is_.（A）cautious（B） regretful（C） positive（D）hostile45 The first hotels were very different from todays hotels. They were small inns built along the road. Later, as people be
36、gan to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms. Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile trav
37、el caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space for so many cars. People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a
38、hotel. The answer to the motorists problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS. Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more c
39、onvenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels, best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. , Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels
40、have been built on the outskirts(近郊) of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.46 The first hotels were built_.（A）with hundreds of rooms（B） around the city centers（C） near railway stations（D）quite close to roads. 47 Hotels gradually became less popular because they usually di
41、d not have _.（A）large enough rooms for big families（B） places for cars to park in（C） sufficient ground rooms（D）quiet and convenient units48 What can we learn about motels from the passage?（A）They are usually built in the downtown area.（B） They have several buildings closely connected.（C） They have a
42、 large number of rooms in tall buildings.（D）They are mainly for travelers who drive their own cars. 49 The reason why many big hotels are being torn down is that_.（A）more and more travelers choose to stay in motels（B） people want to spend their time in a more quiet place（C） it costs too much money f
43、or people to stay in a hotel（D）cities have become short of land for building large hotels50 This passage is trying to tell us about_.（A）motoriststroubles in parking their cars in cities（B） the reason why a new kind of hotel is getting popular（C） which place is better for people to stay for the night
