Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are for choi _s _rked A,B,C, and D. You should decide

38、on the best choi _ and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET1 whit a pencil.jo _. Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:.jo _. A little more than a _ntury ago, Michael Faraday, the noted British physicist, _naged to gain au _n _ with a group of high gover _ent official

39、s, to demonstrate an electro-chemical principle, in the hope of gaining support for his work.jo _. After observing the demonstrations closely, one of the officials re _rked bluntly, “Its a fascinating demonstration, young _n, but just what practical application will e of this?”.jo _. “I dont know,”

40、replied Faraday, “but I do know that 100 years from now youll be taxing them.”.jo _. From the demonstration of a principle to the _rketing of products derived from that principle is often a long, involved series of steps. The speed and effectiveness with which these steps art taken are closely relat

41、ed to the history of _nagement, the art of getting things done. Just as _nagement applies to the wonders that have evolved from Faraday and other inventors, so it applied some 4,000 years ago to the working of the great Egyptian and Mesopotamian import and export firms to Hannibals re _rkable feat o

42、f crossing the Alps in 218 B.C. with 90,000 foot sol _rs, 12,000 horsemen and a “conveyor belt” of 40 elephantsor to the early Christian Church, with its world-shaking con _pts of individual _ and equality.jo _. These ancient innovators were deeply involved in the problems of authority, divisions of

43、 labor, discipline, unity of _nd, clarity of direction and the other basic factors that are so meaningful to _nagement today. But the real impetus to _nagement as an emerging profession was the Industrial Revolution. Originating in 18- _ntury England, it was triggered by a series of classic inventio

44、ns and new pro _sses; among them John Kays flying Shuttle in 1733. James Hargroves Spinning Jenny in 1770, Samuel Comptons Mule Spinner in 1779 and Edmund Cartwrights Power Loom in 1785.jo _. 51. The anecdote about Michael Faraday indicates that .jo _. A. politicians tax everything .jo _. B. people

45、are skeptical about the values of pure research.jo _. C. gover _ent should support scientists.jo _. D. he was rejected by his gover _ent.jo _. 52. Management is defined as .jo _.

46、_. D. an emerging profession.jo _. 53. Management came into its own .jo _. A. in the Egyptian and Mesopotamian import and export firms.jo _. B. in Hannibals famous trip across the Alps.jo _. C. in the development of early Christian Church .jo _. D. in the eighteenth _ntury .jo _. 54. A problem of _n

47、agement NOT mentioned in this passage is .jo _. A. the problem of _nd.jo _. B. division of labor.jo _. C. control by authority.jo _. D. petition.jo _. Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:.jo _. By education, I mean the influen _ of the enviro _ent upon the individual to produ _ a p

48、er _nent change in the habits of behavior, of thought and of attitude. It is in being thus sus _ptible(容易受影响的)to the enviro _ent that _n differs from the ani _ls, and the higher ani _ls from the lower. The lower ani _ls are influen _d by the enviro _ent but not in the direction of changing their hab

49、its. Their instinctive responses are few and fixed by heredity(遗传；继承). When transferred to an unnatural situation, such an ani _l is led astray by its instincts. Thus the “ant-lion” whose instinct implies it to bore into loose sand by pushing backwards with abdomen(腹部)，goes backwards on a plate of g

50、lass as soon as danger threatens, and endeavors, with the utmost exertions to bore into it . It knows no other mode of flight, “or if such a lonely ani _l is engaged upon a chain of actions and is interrupted, it either goes on vainly with the re _ining actions(as useless as cultivating an unsown fi

51、eld)or _s in helpless inactivity”. Thus a - _ spider which digs a burrow and rims it with a bastion(堡垒)of gravel and bits of wood, when removed from a half finished home, will not begin again, though it will continue another burrow, even one _de with a pencil.jo _. Advan _ in the scale of evolution

52、along such lines as these could only be _de by the emergen _ of creatures with more and more plicated instincts. Such beings we know in the ants and spiders. But another line of advan _ was destined to open out a much more far-reaching possibility of which we do not see the end perhaps even in _n. H

53、abits, instead of being born ready- _de(when they are called instincts and not habits at all )were left more and more to the for _tive influen _ of the enviro _ent, of which the most important factor was the parent who now cared for the young ani _l during a period of infancy in which vaguer instinc

54、ts than those of the insects were molded to suit surroundings which might be considerably changed without harm.jo _. This means, one might at first i _gine, that gradually heredity bees less and enviro _ent more important. But this is hardly the truth and _rtainly not the whole truth. For although f

55、ixed auto _tic responses like those of the insect-like creatures are no longer inherited, although selection for purification of that sort is no longer going on, yet selection for educability is very definitely still of importan _. The ability to acquire habits can be con _ivably inherited just as m

56、uch as can definite re responses to narrow situations. Besides, sin _ a mechani _-is now, for the first time, created by which the individual (in contradiction to the species) can be fitted to the enviro _ent, the latter bees, in another sense, less not more important. And finally, less not the higher ani _ls who possess the power of changing their enviro _ent by engineering feats and the l
