Questions 36 to 45 are based on the
following passage.
Innovation,
the
elixir
(
灵丹妙药
)
of
progress,
has
always
cost
people
their
jobs.
In
the
Industrial
Revolution
hand
weavers
were
36
aside

the
mechanical
loom.
Over
the
past
30
years
the
digital
revolution has
37
many of the mid-skill jobs
that supported 20th-century
middle-
class life. Typists, ticket
agents,
bank tellers and many production-line jobs have
been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
For those who
believe that technological progress has made the
world a better place, such disruption is a
natural part of rising
38. Although innovation
kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones,
as a more
39
society becomes richer and its
wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and
services. A hundred years ago one in
three American
workers was
40
on
a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far
more food. The millions
freed from the
land were not rendered
41, but found better- paid work as the
economy grew more sophisticated.
Today
the pool of secretaries has

computer programmers and web designers.
Optimism
remains the right starting-point, but for workers
the dislocating effects of technology may make
themselves evident faster than its

jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short

Why
the Mona Lisa Stands Out
A. Have you ever fallen for a novel and
been amazed not to find it on lists of great
books? Or walked around a
sculpture
renowned
as
a
classic,
struggling
to
see
what
the
fuss
is
about?
If
so,
you've
probably
pondered
the
question a psychologist, James Cutting,
asked himself: How does a work of art come to be
considered great?
B. The intuitive answer is that some
works of art are just great: of intrinsically
superior quality. The paintings
that
win prime spots in galleries, get taught in
classes and reproduced in books are the ones that
have proved their
artistic value over
time. If you can't see they're superior, that's
your problem.
It's an intimidatingly neat
explanation. But some social scientists have been
asking awkward questions of it,
raising
the possibility that artistic canons
(
名作目录
) are little more than
fossilised historical accidents.
C.
Cutting,
a
professor
at
Cornell
University,
wondered
if
a
psychological
mechanism
known
as
the
effect
played
a
role
in
deciding
which
paintings
rise
to
the
top
of
the
cultural
league.
Cutting
designed an experiment to test his
hunch (
直觉
). Over a lecture
course he regularly showed undergraduates works
of impressionism for two seconds at a
time. Some of the paintings were canonical,
included in art-history books.
Others
were
lesser
known
but
of
comparable
quality.
These
were
exposed
four
times
as
often.
Afterwards,
the
students preferred them to
the canonical works, while a control
group of students liked the canonical ones best.
Cutting's students had grown to like
those paintings more simply because they had seen
them more.
D.
Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as
to how canons are formed.
He
reproduced
works of impressionism today tend to have been
bought by five or six wealthy and influential
collectors
in the late 19th century.
The preferences of these men bestowed
(
给予
) prestige on certain
works, which made the
works
more
likely
to
be
hung
in
galleries
and
printed
in
collections.
The
fame
passed
down
the
years,
gaining
momentum from mere
exposure as it did so. The more people were
exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more
they liked it, the more it appeared in
books, on posters and in big exhibitions.
Meanwhile, academics and critics
created sophisticated justifications
for its preeminence (
卓越
).
After all, it's not just the masses who tend to
rate
what they see more often more
highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and
Damien Hirst have grasped, critics'
praise is deeply entwined
(
交织
) with publicity.
effects of mere exposure.
E. The process described by
Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist
Duncan Watts calls

Microsoft to study the dynamics of social
networks, had a similar experience to Cutting's in
another
Paris museum. After queuing to

came away puzzled: why was it
considered so superior to the three other
Leonardos in the previous chamber, to
which nobody seemed to be paying the
slightest attention?
F. When Watts looked into the history
of
life,
the
“Mona
Lisa”
remained
in relative obscurity. In the
1850s, Leonardo da Vinci was considered no match
for
giants of Renaissance art like
Titian and Raphael, whose works were worth almost
ten times as much as the
Lisa
What propelled it there
wasn't a scholarly re-evaluation, but a theft.

In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked

University psychologist, argues, a new
way for the middle class to distinguish themselves
from what they perceive
to be the
narrow tastes of those beneath them in the social
hierarchy.
K.
The intrinsic quality of a work of art is starting
to seem like its least important attribute. But
perhaps it's
more significant than our
social scientists allow. First of all, a work
needs a certain quality to be eligible to be swept
to the top of the pile. The
place, and not by accident. Secondly,
some stuff is simply better than other stuff. Read
the greatest of Shakespeare's
contemporaries, and the difference may strike you
as unarguable.
L. A study in the British Journal of
Aesthetics suggests that the exposure effect
doesn't work the same way on
everything, and points to a different
conclusion about how canons are formed. The social
scientists are right to say
that we
should be a little sceptical of greatness, and
that we should always look in the next room. Great
art and
mediocrity
(
平庸
) can get confused, even
by experts. But that's why we need to see, and
read, as much as we can.
The more we're
exposed to the good and the bad, the better we are
at telling the difference. The eclecticists have
it.

Section C
Directions:
There
are
2
passages
in
this
section.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions
or
unfinished
statements. For
each of them there are four choices marked A. , B.
, C. and D.. You should decide on the best choice
and mark the corresponding letter on
Answer sheet with a single line through the
centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the
following passage.
When the right person is holding the
right job at the right moment, that person's
influence is greatly expanded.
That is
the position in which Janet Yellen, who is
expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the
Federal Reserve
Bank (FeD. in January,
now finds herself. If you believe, as many do,
that unemployment is the major economic
and social concern of our day, then it
is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful
person in the world right
now.
Throughout the
2008 financial crisis and the recession and
recovery that followed, central banks have taken
on the role of stimulators of last
resort, holding up the global economy with vast
amounts of money in the form of
asset
buying.
Yellen,
previously
a
Fed
vice
chair,
was
one
of
the
principal
architects
of
the
Fed's
$$
3.8
trillion
money
dump.
A
star
economist
known
for
her
groundbreaking
work
on
labor
markets,
Yellen
was
a
kind
of
prophetess early on in the crisis for
her warnings about the subprime
(
次级债
) meltdown. Now it will
be her job to
get
the
Fed
and
the
markets
out
of
the
biggest
and
most
unconventional
monetary
program
in
history
without
derailing the
fragile recovery. The good news is that Yellen,67,
is particularly well suited to meet these
challenges.
She has a keen
understanding of financial markets, an
appreciation for their imperfections and a strong
belief that
human
suffering was more related to
unemployment than anything else.
Some experts worry that
Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to
the neglect of inflation.
But with
wages still relatively flat and the economy
increasingly divided between the well-off and the
long-term
unemployed,
more
people
worry
about
the
opposite,
deflation
(
通货紧缩
)
that
would
aggravate
the
economy's
problems.
Either way, the incoming
Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly
ending the stimulus. It must be
steady
enough to deflate bubbles
(
去泡沫
) and bring markets back
down to earth but not so quick that it creates
another credit crisis.
Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is
not one to buy into the finance industry's
argument that it should be
left alone
to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed
has been too slack on regulation of finance.
Yellen is likely
to
address
the
issue
right
after
she
pushes
unemployment
below
6%,
stabilizes
markets
and
makes
sure
that
the
recovery is more inclusive and robust.
As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says,
logical, willing to argue but also a
good listener. She can persuade without creating
hostility.

Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the
following passage.
Air pollution is
deteriorating in many places around the world. The
fact that public parks in cities
become
crowded as soon as the sun shines proves that
people long to breathe in green, open spaces. They
do not all
know what they are seeking
but they flock there, nevertheless. And, in these
surroundings, they are generally both
peaceful
and
peaceable.
It
is
rare
to
see
people
fighting
in
a
garden.
Perhaps
struggle
unfolds
first,
not
at
an
economic or social level, but over the
appropriation of air, essential to life itself. If
human beings can breathe and
share air,
they don't need to struggle with one another.
Unfortunately, in our western
tradition, neither materialist nor idealist
theoreticians give enough consideration
to this basic condition for life. As
for politicians, despite proposing curbs on
environmental pollution, they have not
yet called for it to be made a crime.
Wealthy countries are even allowed to pollute if
they pay for it.
But is our life worth
anything other than money? The plant world shows
us in silence what faithfulness to life
consists of. It also helps us to a new
beginning, urging us to care for our breath, not
only at a vital but also at a
spiritual
level.
The
interdependence
to
which
we
must
pay
the
closest
attention
is
that
which
exists
between
ourselves and the plant
world. Often described as
the
gift
of
breathable
air
by
releasing
oxygen.
But
their
capacity
to
renew
the
air
polluted
by
industry
has
long
reached its limit. If
we lack the air necessary for a healthy life, it
is because we have filled it with chemicals and
undercut the ability of plants to
regenerate it. As we know, rapid deforestation
combined with the massive burning
of
fossil fuels is an explosive recipe for an
irreversible disaster.
The fight over
the appropriation of resources will lead the
entire planet to hell unless humans learn to share
life,
both
with
each
other
and
with
plants.
This
task
is
simultaneously
ethical
and
political
because
it
can
be
discharged only when each
takes it upon herself or himself and only when it
is accomplished together with others.
The lesson taught by plants is that
sharing life expands and enhances the sphere of
the living, while dividing life
into
so-called natural or human resources diminishes
it. We must come to view the air, the plants and
ourselves as
the
contributors
to
the
preservation
of
life
and
growth,
rather
than
a
web
of
quantifiable
objects
or
productive
potentialities at

中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。中国

宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不可少的，除非已经上过各式
海鲜。如今，中国人喜欢把西方特
色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少见。沙拉也已流行

Practice is the Key to Knowledge
Nowadays almost every
person has a clear notion about the importance of
knowledge, with which we can make
great
difference to our world. However, the contribution
of practice should also be awarded.
Practice is considered significant
because it can turn abstract ideas into tangible
results. Only through practice can
we
truly develop our own understanding about the
essence of the new knowledge, or else the treasure
of knowledge
would still be words
printed on papers. Moreover, the vilification of
new theories requires us to focus more on the
practical side, which helps people to
learn better compared with the mechanical way of
reading and memorizing. In
addition,
practice makes people acquire information in an
active way, thus more innovative thoughts are
likely to be
generated in the process
and then applied to make our future life more
exciting.
As far as I am
concerned, practice is essential for people to
understand, to review and to optimize the
information
we receive. It is practice
that produces enjoyable life and makes knowledge
truly valuable.
本题由谚语
“Knowledge
is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”
