[主观题]

Among the company was a lawyer，a young man of about twenty-five. On being asked his opinio

n，he said，“Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral. If I were to make a choice between them，I would rather choose the latter. Anyway，it's better to live than not to live at all. ”

A lively discussion followed. A banker，who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer，suddenly lost his temper and cried out，“It's a lie. I bet you two millions. You wouldn't stick in a cell even for five years. ”

“If you mean it，”replied the young lawyer，“I bet I'll stay there longer；make it fifteen instead of five. ”

“Fifteen!Done!”cried the banker. “Gentleman. I bet you two millions. ”

“Agreed. Two millions for my freedom，”said the lawyer.

So this wild，ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement. During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly，“Come to your senses，young man，before it's too late. Two millions are nothing to me，but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because you'll never stick it out any longer. Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell. I pity you. ”

And now the banker，pacing from comer to comer，recalled all this and asked himself，“Why did I make this bet？What's the good？The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions. Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life？No，no!Rubbish!On my part，it was the caprice(心血来潮)of a well-fed millionaire；on the lawyer's part，it's the pure greed of gold. ”

The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because______.

A．he was younger than the banker

B．capital punishment was immoral

C．it was better than capital punishment

D．the banker would give him $200,000

根据下列文章，回答26～30题。It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can

boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom—or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad. All he needs to do is shell out $30 for a paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore—and another $120 to get the results.

More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first became available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fogg, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the overthecounter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests directly to the public, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2500.

Among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing , which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and families can use to track down kids put up for adoption. DNA testing is also the latest rage among passionate genealogists—and supports businesses that offer to search for a family’s geographic roots.

Most tests require collecting cells by swabbing saliva in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA．

But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Trey Duster, a New York University sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors—numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other greatgrandparents or, four generations back, 14 other greatgreatgrandparents.

Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don’t rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may have a lot of data from some regions and not others, so a person’s test results may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.

A．easy availability.

B．flexibility in pricing.

C．successful promotion.

D．popularity with households.

Passage 4

America’s most popular newspaper website today announced that the era of free online journalism is drawing to a close. The New York Times has become the biggest publisher yet to set out plans for a paywall around its digital offering, _1_ the accepted practice that internet users will not pay for news.

While most US papers focus on a single city, The New York Times is among the few that can claim _7_ scope—as well as 16 bureaus in the New York area, it has 11 offices around the US and maintains 26 bureaus elsewhere in the world. But like many in the publishing industry, the paper is in the grip of a _8_ financial crisis. Its parent company, the New York Times Company, has 15 papers, but _9_ a loss of $70 million in the nine months to September and recently accepted a $250 million _10_ from a Mexican billionaire， Carlos Slim, to strengthen its balance sheet.

第8题

Nokia executives attempted to explain its fall from the top of the smart phone pyramid with three

factors:(1) that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple;(2) that the company was complacent and;(3) that its leaders didn't see the disruptive iPhone coming.

It has also been argued that it was none of the above.Nokia lost the smart phone battle because of divergent shared fears among the company's middle and top managers which led to company-wide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apple's game.

Based on the findings of an in-depth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managers,engineers and external experts,the researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth.

The fear that froze the company came from two places.First,the company's top managers had a terrifying reputation.Some members of Nokia's board and top management were described as“extremely temperamental” and they regularly shouted at people“at the top of their lungs” .It was very difficult to tell them things they didn't want to hear.Secondly,top managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets,which also impacted how they treated middle managers.

Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing them.Middle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers'goals.

Fearing the reactions of top managers,middle managers remained silent or provided optimistic,filtered information.Thus,middle managers directly lied to top management.

Worse,a culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to

undertake challenging assignments.

Beyond verbal pressure,top managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selection.This led middle managers to over promise and under deliver.One middle manager told us that“you can get resources by promising something earlier,or promising a lot.It's sales work.”

While modest fear might be healthy for motivation,abusing it can be like overusing a drug,which risks generating harmful side effects.To reduce this risk,leaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staff.Nokia's top managers should have encouraged safe dialogue,internal coordination and feedback to

understand the true emotion in the organization.

1.Nokia lost the smart phone battle because its technology is not as good as that of Apple.

2.Nokia's middle managers were frank to tell the truth,but the top ones didn't listen to them.

3.Nokia's top managers were too moody to hear anything good but harsh.

4.Middle managers in Nokia delivered results more than they promised earlier.

5.Nokia's top managers should have had better conversation techniques to encourage internal coordination and truth.
