17、e: “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 am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the archi
18、tecture 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 have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact,
19、 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 attitude toward money.But the attitude toward money has, of course, chang
20、ed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit.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 of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe; he offe
21、rs 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 walled bank.Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its
22、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 in the past（B） changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept
23、 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 one think about money?（A）The former thinks more of money than the latter.（B） The
24、 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 producing more money.43 The word tangible“(Line 2, Para. 4)refers to something_.（A）tha
25、t 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 impenetrable（D）imaginative and creative45 It can be inferred from the passage that the authors at
26、titude towards the new trend in bank is_.（A）cautious（B） regretful（C） positive（D）hostile45 Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state o
27、f despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts,
28、 their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1, 200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home-the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a differe
29、nt identity.To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they wi
30、ll have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties. Running away
31、, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty. “46 When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle_.（A）could not forgive him for taking the children（B） had been expecting it to happen for some time（C） could not understand why
32、（D）blamed herself for what had happened47 Most people who leave their families behind them_.（A）do so without warning（B） do so because of their debts（C） come back immediately（D）change their names48 Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse(配偶)because_.（A）their spouse
33、 would feel no pain during the death（B） their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence（C） a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure（D）their spouse death would make them feel less painful49 The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually_.（A）admits r
34、esponsibility for the situation（B） wishes the person who has left were dead（C） comes back within a year（D）will have no legal marriage life for seven years50 Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as_.（A）an act of despair（B） an act of selfishness（C） the result of a sudden decision（D）th
35、e result of the enormous sense of guilt50 James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. His astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal of human nature in his books, and his complete command of Engli
36、sh have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th Century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.When he was in Dublin College, he studied
37、 languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself Norwegian so that
38、he could read Ibsens works in the original.When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he k
39、new best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he
40、stayed abroad all his life.51 James Joyce was first of all a_.（A）revolutionary（B） critic（C） novelist（D）exile52 James Joyce was famous for many reasons EXCEPT_.（A）his way of constructing a novel（B） his frank portrayal of human nature（C） his complete command of English（D）his passion in literature53 “H
41、e is second only to Shakespeare“ is a comment on his_.（A）achievement in literature（B） achievement in the nationalist movement（C） achievement in his study of languages（D）mastery of the English language54 How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?（A）2（B） 3（C） 1（D）455 Why did James J
42、oyce stay abroad almost all his life?（A）Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.（B） Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.（C） Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life.（D）Because he wanted to preserve his
43、ideal of writing truthfully, fully and objectively about the people and the places he knew best.55 According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on on
44、e or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment. Although leaders are often thought to be
45、people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders“. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the
46、 person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to
47、instrumental leaders to “get things done“. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well beings of a social groups members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members a
48、nd attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discipline group members who inhibit(阻碍)attainment of the groups goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or p
49、rimary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental lea
