Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship. Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old. One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problems of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.56 Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are _. A. more successful B. more learned C. more imaginative D. more hardworking57 What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph 2) refer to?A. carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. carpenters who have college degrees.C. people who think highly of carpenters of old.D. people who think that modern material is of low quality.58 What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.59 What would be the best title for the text?A. Is Craft Dead?B. Craft, Back to life?C. History of craftsmanshipD. Carpenters Today and YesterdayBSony Corporation began in 1964 in a fire-bombed Tokyo department store with only more than 20 workers and $ 500 capital. But today the company employs over 4,000 people, and its annual sales reach more than $ 7 billon. It sells more than 10,000 different models of sound and video equipment in more than 180 countries and regions on six continents. What does it make it hard for any company to equal? It is imagination, grinding hard work, fiercely motivated managers and innovation engineers and designers, which seems almost impossible to beat. Sonys founders, Massaru Ibuka and Akio Morita are both physicists. Akio Morita realized that scientific creativity was not enough. Customers simply did not know what to do with their wonderful new machines. He would have to educate them. He concluded that the recorders best market in Japan would be in the schools. So he set off around Japan, showing teachers how they could see the portable(轻便的) suitcase-size machine to tape educational radio programs for English language lesson. He did succeed. In 1952, Bell Laboratories developed transistors. Ibuka and Morita flew to the United States right way to investigate. Within several weeks, they successfully produced their first transistor and invented their own technology, which was two years ahead of all Japanese competitors. The companys greatest secret is its ability to satisfy unvoiced desires. Sony frequently and unashamedly adopts or perfects processes invented by others, while simultaneously dipping into its own dazzling banks of advanced technology. Designers and engineers are put on a top-priority footing to complete their designs and specifications. Besides inspired use of its scientific talent and know-how, and West, the Sony spirit starts at the top. Sony doesnt hire able person, for what he or she is and will be. The job is tailored to the person, not vice versa. As a result of these innovative management practices, Sony is an intensively lively, feisty organization that prides itself on personal excellence as much as group effort. They have plunged over and over again into the unknown. Sonys managers and scientists know what they are doing, and they can prove they are right. Nothing succeeds like success. And thats what makes Sony run.60. The main idea of the passage is _.A. Sonys voluminous sales around the world.B. Sonys technological innovationsC. Sonys great foundersD. Sonys secrets to success61. Massaru Ibuka and Akio Moritas initial success lay greatly in _.A. inventing new machineB. education people how to use machineC. expanding market share outside JapanD. competing with American competitors62 It can be inferred from the passage that it is of critical importance for management to be _.A. loyal and lively B. able and devotedC. scientific and efficientD. motivated and innovative63.“Nothing succeeds like success” means _.A. if one does nothing, he cant achieve successB. nothing is more important than successC. success in one case is likely to be followed by success in other casesD. success is likely to be followed by failure if nothing is doneC In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and wining are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pay no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would means a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.64 What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among peopleC. Competition is harmful to personal quality developmentD. Failures are necessary experiences in competition65The underline phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means_.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success66 What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail” ?A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with othersB. Ones success in competition needs great effortsC. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skillsD. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried67 Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid backB. Competition should be encouragedC. Winning should be a
