TEXT A

We have a crisis on our hands. You mean global warning? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who?s responsible? Actually, it?s more like, What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it —Facebook, Twitter (微博). You can write your own list.

There?s been a warning about the imminent death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to spell doom for the written world. None did. Reading survived; in fact it not only survived, it has flourished. The world is more literate than ever before —there are more and more readers, and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Take the arrival of e-book readers as an example. Devices like Kindle make reading more convenient and are a lot more environmentally friendly than the traditional paper book.

As technology makes new ways of writing possible, new ways of reading are possible. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations, an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links: to texts, pictures, and videos. In the future, the way people write novels, history, and philosophy will resemble nothing seen in the past.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization. One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long “digests” of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span —that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone utterly in tune with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

In the 15th century, Johannes Guttenberg?s invention of the printing press in Europe had a huge impact on civilization. Once upon a time the physical book was a challenging thing. We should remember this before we assume that technology is out to destroy traditional culture.

81. Which of the following paragraphs briefly reviews the historical challenges for reading?

A . Paragraph One .B. Paragraph Two. C. Paragraph Three .D. Paragraph Four.

82. The following are all cited as advantages of e-books EXCEPT

A. multimodal content

B. environmental friendliness.

C. convenience for readers.

D. imaginative design.

83. Which of the following can best describe how the author feels toward single-sentence-long novels?

A. Ironic

B. Worried

C. Sarcastic .

D. Doubtful.

84. According to the passage, people need knowledge of modern technology and to survive in the

fast-changing society.

A. good judgment

B. high sensitivity C good imagination D. the ability to focus

85. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing.

B. Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience.

C. Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading.

D. Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice.

TEXT C

These days lots of young Japanese do omiai, literally, “meet and look.” Many of them do so willingly. In today?s prosperous and increasingly conservative Japan, the traditional omiai kekkon, or arranged marriage, is thriving.

But there is a difference. In the original omiai, the young Japanese couldn?t reject the partner chosen by his parents and their middleman. After World War II, many Japanese abandoned the arranged marriage as part of their rush to adopt the more democratic ways of their American conquerors. The Western ren’ai kekkon, or love marriage, became popular; Japanese began picking their own mates by dating and falling in love.

But the Western way was often found wanting in an important respect: it didn?t necessarily produce a partner of the right economic, social, and educational qualifications. “Today?s young people are quite calculating,” says Chieko Akiyama, a social commentator.

What seems to be happening now is a repetition of a familiar process in the country?s history, the “Japanization” of an adopted foreign practice. The Western ideal of marrying for love is accommodated in a new omiai in which both parties are free to reject the match. “Omiai is evolving into a sort of stylized introduction,” Mrs. Akiyama says.

Many young Japanese now date in their early twenties, but with no thought of marriage. When they reach the age —in the middle twenties for women, the late twenties for men —they increasingly turn to

omiai. Some studies suggest that as many as 40% of marriages each year are omiai kekkon. It?s hard to be sure, say those who study the matter, because many Japanese couples, when polled, describe their marriage as a love match even if it was arranged.

These days, doing omiai often means going to a computer matching service rather than to a nakodo. The nakodo of tradition was an old woman who knew all the kids in the neighbourhood and went around trying to pair them off by speaking to their parents; a successful match would bring her a wedding invitation and a gift of money. But Japanese today find it?s less awkward to reject a proposed partner if the nakodo is a computer.

Japan has about five hundred computer matching services. Some big companies, including Mitsubishi, run one for their employees. At a typical commercial service, an applicant pays $80 to $125 to have his or her personal data stored in the computer for two years and $200 or so more if a marriage results. The stored information includes some obvious items, like education and hobbies, and some not-so-obvious ones, like whether a person is the oldest child. (First sons, and to some extent first daughter, face an obligation of caring for elderly parents.)

91. According to the passage, today?s young Japanese prefer

A. a traditional arranged marriage.

B. a new type of arranged marriage.

C. a Western love marriage.

D. a more Westernized love marriage.

92. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A. A Western love marriage tends to miss some Japanese values.

B. Less attention is paid to the partner?s qualification in arranged marriages.

C. Young Japanese would often calculate their partner?s wealth.

D. A new arranged marriage is a repetition of the older type.

93. According to the passage, the figure 40% (Paragraph Five) is uncertain because

A. there has been a big increase in the number of arranged marriages.

B. Western love marriage still remains popular among young Japanese.

C. young Japanese start dating very early in their life in a Western tradition.

D. the tendency for arranged marriages could be stronger than is indicated.

94. One of the big differences between a traditional nakodo and its contemporary version lies in the way

A. wedding gifts are presented.

B. a proposed partner is refused.

C. formalities are arranged.

D. the middleman/woman is chosen.

95. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To tell the differences between an old and modern nakodo.

B. To provide some examples for the traditional nakodo.

C. To offer more details of the computerized nakodo.

D. To sum up the main ideas and provide a conclusion.

TEXT D

Cordia Harrington was tired of standing up all day and smelling like French fries at night. She owned and operated three McDonald?s shops in Illinois, but as a divorced mother of three boys, she yearned for a business that would provide for her children and let her spend more time with them.

Her lucky moment came, strangely enough, after she was nominated in 1992 to be on the McDonald?s bun committee. “The company picked me up in a corporate jet to see bakeries around the world,” she recalls. “Every time I went to a meeting, I love it. This was global!”

The experience opened her eyes to business possibilities. When McDonald?s decided it wanted a new bun supplier, Harrington became determined to win the contract, even though she had no experience running a bakery.

Harrington studied the bakery business and made sure she was never off executives’ radar. “If you have a dream, you can?t wait for people to call you,” she says. “So I?d visit a mill and send them photos of myself in a baker?s hat and jacket, holding a sign that say …I want to be your baker.?”After four years and 32 interviews, her persistence paid off.

Harrington sealed the deal with a handshake, sold her shops, and borrowed $13.5 million. She was ready to build the fastest, most automated bakery in the world.

The Tennessee Bun Company opened ahead of schedule in 1997, in time for a slump in U.S. fast-food sales for McDonald?s. Before Harrington knew it, she was down to her last $20,000, not enough to cover payroll. And her agreement with McDonald?s required that she sell exclusively to the company. “I cried myself to sleep many nights,” she recalls. “I really did think, I am going to go bankrupt.”

But Harrington worked out an agreement to supply Pepperidge Farm as well. “McDonald?s could see a benefit if our production went up and prices went down, and no benefit if we went out of business,” she says. “That deal saved us.”

Over the next eight years, Harrington branched out even more: She started her own trucking business, added a cold-storage company, and now has three bakeries producing fresh buns and frozen dough —all now known as the Bun Companies. Speed is still a priority: It takes 11 people at the main bakery to turn out 60,000 buns an hour for clients across 40 states, South America, and the Caribbean.

Grateful for the breaks she?s had, Harrington is passionate about providing opportunities to all 230 employees. “Financial success is the most fun when you can give it away,” she says.

The current economy is challenging. Some of her clients?sales have declined, but she?s found new clients and improved efficiencies to help sustain the company?s double-digit growth.

Cordia Harrington doesn?t have to stand on her feet all day anymore. Two of her three sons now work for her. And she?s remarried —her husband, Tom, is now her CFO.

“This is more than a job,” says Harrington. “It?s a mission. I?m always thinking. How can we best serve our employees? If we support them, they?ll do their best to look after our clients. That?s how it works here.”

96. According to the passage, which of the following was most significant in her early career?

A. Her nomination on the McDonald?s bun committee.B Her travel an the visits to bakeries around the world.

C. A business contract with local bun suppliers.

D. The interviews and experience in running a bakery.

97. “Harrington…made sure she was never off executives’ radar” (Paragraph Four) means that she

A. herself wanted to be a company executive.

B. meant to hire executives to run the business.

C. meant to keep her management knowledge and skills.

D. focused on the management of the bakery business.

98. How did she survive the crisis at the start of her bakery business?

A. By supplying buns for another company.

B. By opening her bun company ahead of schedule.

C. By keeping supplies up for McDonald?s.

D. By making a new agreement with McDonald?s.

99. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT in describing her current business?

A. It is fast growing.

B. It is diversified.

C. Its clients are all local.

D. It is more efficient.

100. According to the passage, which of the following is fundamental to Harrington?s success?

A. Efficiency and love for the family.

B. Perseverance and concern for employees.

C. Business expansion and family support.

D. Opportunities and speed.

2012年英语专业四级考试真题

From 2007 to 2010，American households lost $l1 trillion in real estate，savings, and stocks More than half of all U．S．workers either lost their jobs or were forced to take cuts in hours or pay during the recession．The worst may be behind them now, but the shocking losses of the past few years have reshaped nearly every facet of their lives—how they live，work，and spend—even the way they think about the future．

For Cindy, the recession began when her husband was relocated to Rhinelander, Wisconsin．by his company forcing the family to move in a hurry．The couple bought a new house but were unable to sell their two-bedroom home in Big Lake，Minnesota．With two mortgages(抵押借款) and two young children to care for, Cindy couldn't imagine how to stretch her husband's paycheck to keep her family fed．

Then she stumbled upon an online community called Blotanical，a forum for gardeners，many with an interest in sustainability．“The more I read and discussed these practices，the more I realized this would help not only our budget but also our health，”she says．

Cindy admits that before the recession，she was a city girl with no interest in growing her own dinner．“I grew flowers mostly—I didn?t think about plants that weren?t visually interesting." But to stretch her budget，she began putting in vegetables and fruit—everything from strawberry beds to apple trees—and as her first seedlings grew，her spirits lifted．She no longer thinks of gardening and making her own jams as just a money saver；they?re a genuine pleasure．“It?s brought us closer together as a family, too，”she says．Her kids voluntarily pitch in with(主动帮助)the garden work，and the family cooks together instead of eating out．The food tastes better —it's fresher and organic —and the garden handily fulfills its original purpose：cost cutting．Now she spends about $200 to $300 a month on groceries．less than half of the $650 a month that she used to lay out．

After discovering how resourceful she can be in tough times，Cindy is no longer easily discouraged．“It mak es me feel proud to be able to say I made it myself,”she says．“I feel accomplished，and I'm more confident about attempting things I've never done before．" Now she avoids convenience stores and has begun learning to knit，quilt，and make her own soap．"I don't think I would have ever begun this journey if it weren?t for the recession，”she says．“I have a feeling that from now on，it will affect my family?s health and happiness for the better．"

86．We learn from the first paragraph that the recession

A．affected Americans in certain occupations．B．had great impact on Americans?work and life．

C．had only brought huge losses in savings and stocks．D．is over with some of the losses recovered.

87．What made the family's financial situation even worse was that they

A．moved to Rhinelander in a hurry．B．had two children to raise．

C．didn't know anyone in Rhinelander．D．couldn't sell their home in Big Lake．

88．Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A．Cindy had seen the benefits of gardening in a different way

B．Cindy had developed a hobby of gardening before the recession

C．Cindy had already had a keen interest in sustainability．D．Cindy had already planned to meet the gardeners．

89．In addition, Cindy views gardening as a genuine pleasure because gardening

A．helped her cut living costs almost by half．B．enabled her to make her own jams．

C．built up family ties and kids?enthusiasm．D．enabled her to know more about plants．

90．What does Cindy think of the difficult times she has gone through?

A．It gave the couple and their kids a tough lesson．B．It gave her confidence and optimism．

C．It would come again and affect the family．D．It left a lasting psychological impact on the family．

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different.

However, people’s opinions vary on this trend. Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving. With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient. Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.
