3、 a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through care fully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use
4、 any of the words in the bank more than once.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 by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digitalrevolutio
5、n 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
6、 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 produ
7、ce 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 42, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers
8、the dislocating effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its 43.

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questio
11、ns by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why the Mona Lisa Stands OutA 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, youve probably pondered
12、 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
13、books are the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you cant see theyre superior, thats your problem.Its 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 tha
14、n fossilised historical accidents.C Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known as the “mere-exposure 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 le
15、cture 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 t
16、o the canonical works, while a control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cuttings 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 to
17、day 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
18、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,
19、its 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. “Scholars”, Cutting argues, “are no different from the public in the effects of mere exposure.”E Th
20、e process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls “cumulative advantage”: once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still. A few years ago,Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks, had a similar exper
21、ience to Cuttings in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the “Mona Lisa” in its climate- controlled bulletproof box at the Louvre, he 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 at
22、tention?F When Watts looked into the history of “the greatest painting of all time”, he discovered that, for most of its 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
23、 worth almost ten times as much as the “Mona Lisa”. It was only in the 20th century that Leonardos portrait of his patrons wife rocketed to the number-one spot. What propelled it there wasnt a scholarly re-evaluation, but a theft.G In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum
24、with the “Mona Lisa” hidden under his smock (工作服). Parisians were shocked at the theft of a painting to which, until then, they had paid little attention. When the museum reopened, people queued to see the gap where the “Mona Lisa” had once hung in a way they had never done for the painting itself.
