26、followed by 20 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.

27、ng with someone, listen for the messages that he or she might be sending to you. For example, the word “difficult” does not mean the same as impossible. Imagine youre staying in a hotel, and you want to change your room. The managers answer of,“That would be very difficult, sir”,does not mean that h

28、e is saying “no.” It just means that he wants to know what you are prepared to offer him in return for the change of room.If you are buying a new car, and want to pay less than the price being asked, then the salesmans comment, “Im sorry, but we never negotiate on the price”, means that they do nego

29、tiate on other things, like the delivery time, or the “extra” that might be available as part of the purchase. In the same car showroom, if the salesman says, “Sorry, I cant negotiate prices”, then your response should be to ask who can. The message the salesman is sending suggests that his boss is

30、the one you need to be talking to.In all of these situations, the message is never communicated in clear terms. In any negotiation, the two “players” wish to get as much out of it as they can, of course. In the three examples above, the salesmen and the hotel manager are hoping that you will accept

31、their price or conditionsbut their “messages” make it clear that there may be room for movement and compromise. In a successful negotiation, the two sides move towards each other and reach agreement on conditions that satisfy both sides.21.The hotel managers answer “That would be very difficult, sir

32、” implies .Ayou can change the room if you find some excuseBsomeone else has paid more for the room under discussionCthe room is available if an extra sum of money is offeredDsomeone else has booked the room in return for more money22.When the salesmen tell you that they never negotiate on the price

35、er communicate your ideas in clear termsDyou should play the roles of a salesman and manager in a negotiationPassage 2Following football hero O.J.Simpsons arrest in June 1994 for the murder of his ex-wife and one of her friends, Newsweek and Time magazines ran the same police mug shot of Simpson on

36、their covers. Newsweeks version was a straight reproduction. Time electronically manipulated the photo to darken it and achieve a gloomy and threatening look that emphasized Simpsons unshaven cheeks and African-American skin color. The alteration offended many readers and raised an increasingly fami

37、liar question: In an age of computer-controlled images, can anyone still trust a photograph?Altering a digitized image(數(shù)碼技術(shù)相片), as Time did for its cover, has been one of the fastest-growing, most far-reaching, and most controversial(有爭議的) techniques in contemporary photography. With this method a p

38、hotograph is scanned(掃描), digitized (converted into a set of numeric values), and entered into a computer from which the operator can control the image almost in any way imaginable: add, delete, or change the position of visual elements; modify tones and colors; create montages; combine photographs;

39、 and even create entirely imaginary scenes. The digitized image can be stored in a data base, output as a print(底片) or transparency(透明膠片), or converted for video-screen display.Electronic image manipulation arrived in force in the 1980s with a new type of computers that cost on the order of $500,000

40、 or more and occupied and entire room. More compact and far less expensive desktop systems soon appeared, capable of, at least, limited image control and available at chain-store prices.The ever-rising flood of digitized visual information may not, as some critics fear, fatally destroy the certainty

41、 of photographic evidence. Yet many observers agree that both suppliers and consumers of photographic information must exercise greater care than before to tell fact from falsehood in the images they use.26.Which of the following magazines was accused of distorting the murderers photograph by many r

42、eaders?ATime.BNewsweek.CWashington Post.DNot mentioned in the passage27.Nowadays, electronic image alterations are .Aunbearably expensiveBmore expensive in the StatesConly available in chain storesDfar less expensive than before28.The digitized alteration technique is .Adeveloping with great care Bv

43、ery capable and developing rapidlyCstrongly criticized due to its easy accessDfatal in destroying the certainty of photographic evidence29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?AWith digitized alteration techniques, a photograph may be scanned, digitized and altered

44、.BWith digitized alteration techniques, the digitized images can be stored in a data base or transformed for video-screen display.CWith digitized alteration techniques, both suppliers and consumers of photographic information are able to tell fact from falsehood in the image they use.DWith digitized

45、 alteration techniques, it is possible for the computer operators to control the image almost in any conceivable way.30.What is the authors attitude toward the technique of digitized image manipulation?ACritical.BObjective.CIndifferent.DSupportive.Passage 3The importance of symbols as a source of cu

46、ltural diversity can be seen in the dress codes and hairstyles of different societies. In most situations, the symbolism of clothing and hairstyles communicates different messages ranging from political beliefs to identification with specific ethnic or religious groups. The tartan(格子呢) of a Scottish

47、 clan, the black leather jacket and long hair of a motorcycle gang member in the United States, and the veil of an Islamic woman in Saudi Arabia provide a symbolic vocabulary that creates cultural diversity.Many examples of clothing styles could be used to illustrate how symbols are used to produce

48、cultural diversity. Consider, for instance, changing dress codes in the United States. During the 1960s, many young people wore jeans, sandals, and beads to symbolize their rebellion against what they conceived as the conformist inclinations of American society. By the 1980s, many of the same people

49、 were wearing “power suits” as they sought to advance up the corporate ladder.An example of how hairstyles can create meaningful symbolic codes can be seen in a group known as the Rastafarians(sometimes known as Rastas or Rastaman) of Jamaica. The majority of the people of Jamaica are of African des

50、cent. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they were brought to Jamaica by European slave traders to work on plantations. The Rastafarians are a specific religious group within Jamaica who believe that Haile Selassie(1892-1975), the former emperor of Ethiopia, whose original name was Ras

51、Tafari, was the black Messiah who appeared in the flesh for the redemption of all blacks exiled in the world of white oppression. Rastafarian religion fuses Old Testament teachings, Christian mysticism, and Afro-Jamaican religious beliefs. The Rastafarian movement originated as a consequence of hars

52、h economic, political, and living conditions in the slums of Jamaica.In the 1950s, during the early phase of the Rastafarian movement, some male members began to grow their hair in “l(fā)ocks” or “dreadlocks” to symbolize their religious and political commitments. This hairstyle became well known in Wes

53、tern society through reggae(強(qiáng)節(jié)奏黑人音樂) music and Rasta musicians such as the late Bob Marley. Rastafarians derive the symbolism of the dreadlock hairstyle of the Rastafarians from the Bible. They view the unshaven man as the natural man and invoke Samson as one of the most important figures in the Bib

54、le. Dreadlocks also reflect a dominant symbol within the Rastafarian movement, the lion, which is associated with Haile Selassie, one of whose titles was the “Conquering Lion of Judah(猶大).”To simulate the spirit of the lion, some Rastas do not cut their hair, sometimes growing their locks 20 inches

55、or more.Thus, to a great extent, culture consists of a network of symbolic codes that enhance values, beliefs, worldviews, and ideologies within a society, Humans go to a great length to create symbols that provide meaning for individuals and groups. These symbolic meanings are a powerful source of

56、cultural diversity.31.What is the main idea of this selection?AHairstyles and dress codes identify political beliefs in diverse societies.BThe Rastafarian movement symbolized a religious and political commitment.CSymbols provide meaning and a satisfaction of biological needs in society.DHairstyles a

57、nd dress codes can be important symbols of cultural diversity in different societies.32.The author uses the examples of the Scottish tartan, the motorcycle jacket, and the Islamic veil to show .Athe political power of dress codes in different societiesBthe diversity of clothing styles throughout the

58、 worldCdress codes that symbolize different ethnic and religious groupsDthe resistance to change of culturally different groups33.The author suggests that the young people wearing jeans in the 1960s wore “power suits” in the 1980s because .Astyles changedBthe American government changedCtheir attitu

59、des and goals changedDboth outfits symbolized rebellion34.All of the following are true of the Rastafarians EXCEPT .Athey believe that Emperor Haile Selassie was the black MessiahBthey are the original natives of JamaicaCthey are a religious group with political commitmentsDthey formed as a result o

60、f harsh living conditions in Jamaica35.The Rastafarian movement began .Aat the beginning of the nineteenth centuryBaround the middle of the twentieth centuryCbefore European slave traders arrivedDin the early eighteenth centuryPassage 4A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule,
