In this section there are several reading passage followed by a total of twenty multiple-choice questions. Read the passage and then mark your answers on

12、your answer sheet. BTEXT A/B It was a day that Michael Eisner would undoubtedly like to forget. Sitting in a Los Angeles witness box for four hours last week, the usually unflappable chairman of the Walt Disney Co. struggled to maintain his composure. Eisner s protg turned nemesis. Jeffrey Katzenber

13、g, his former employee, was seeking $500 million in his breach-of-contract suit against Disney, and Eisner was trying to defend his-and his company s integrity. At one point Eisner became flustered when Katzenberg s attorney, Bertram Fields, asked if he recalled telling his biographer, Tony Schwartz

14、, I think I hate the little midget. Later Eisner recalled that the same day, he had received a fax from Katzenberg meant for Fields, thanking the lawyer for managing a magazine story that praised Katzenberg at Eisner s expense: I said to Schwartz, Screw that. If he is going to play this disingenuous

15、 game. I simply was not going to pay him his money. Last week s revelations were the latest twist in a dispute that has entertained Hollywood and tarnished Disney s corporate image. The dash began five years ago, when Katzenberg quit Disney after a 10-year reign as studio chief, during which he over

16、saw production of such animated blockbusters as The Lion King. Disney s attorneys said that Katzenberg forfeited his bonus2 percent of profits in perpetuity from all Disney movies, TV shows and stage productions from 1984 to 1994, as well as their sequels and tie-ins-when he left. The company ultima

17、tely paid Katzenberg a partial settlement of nearly $117 million, sources say. But talks broke down over how much Disney owed, and the dispute landed in com. Industry insiders never expected that Disney would push it this far. The last Hollywood accounting dispute that aired in public was Art Buchwa

18、lds lawsuit against Paramount for profits he claimed to be owed from the 1988 Eddie Murphy hit Coming to America. Paramount chose to fight Buchwald in courtonly to wind up paying him $l million after embarrassing revelations about its business practices. After that, studios made a practice of quietl

19、y settling such claims. But Disney under Eisner would rather fight that settle. And he and Katzenberg are both proud, combative types whose business disagreement deepened into personal animus, So far, Disney s imageas well as Eisner shas taken a beating. In his testimony last week Eisner repeatedly

20、responded to questions by saying I don t recall or I don t know. Katzenberg, by contrast, offered a stack of notes and memos that appeared to bolster his claim. (The Disney executive who negotiated Katzenberg s deal, Frank Wells, died in a helicopter crash five years ago.) The trial has also offered

21、 a devastating glimpse into the Magic Kingdom s business dealings. Internal documents detail sensitive Disney financial information. One Hollywood lawyer calls a memo sent to Katzenberg from a former Disney top accountant a road map to riches for writers, directors and producers eager to press cases

22、 against Disney. The company declined requests to comment on the case. The next phase of the trial could be even more embarrassing. As Katzenbergs profit participation is calculated, Eisner will have to argue that his animated treasures are far less valuable than Katzenberg claims. No matter how the

26、er Rosenblatt s book Black Fiction, in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding on Black history. Addi

27、son Gayle s recent work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work according to the notions of Black identity which it introduces. Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways o

28、ther than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology outwits much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt s literary analysis discloses affinities and connections among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored. Writi

29、ng acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient reason, other than the racial identity to the authors, to group together works by Black authors Second, how does Black fiction make itself distinct

30、 from other modem fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Blacks over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and des

31、igns independent of chronology. These structures are related to the themes, and they spring, not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black characters in these novels exist in a predominantly White culture, whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it. Black Fiction does l

32、eave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt s theme-based analysis permits considerable objectivity, he even explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works, yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to intere

33、sting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffuse. Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Tommers Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does t

34、his technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for an astute and worthwhile st

35、udy. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson s Autobiography of an Ex-colored Man. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its forthright, lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and penet

36、rating criticism.The author objects to criticism of Black fiction like that by Addison Gayle because it _. Aemphasizes purely literary aspects of such fictionBmisinterprets the ideological content of such fictionCmisunderstands the notions of Black identity contained in such fictionDsubstitutes poli

37、tical for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction 22.BTEXT B/B Researchers investigating brain size and mental ability say their work offers evidence that education protects the mind from the brain s physical deterioration. It is known that the brain shrinks as the body ages, but the effects on

38、 mental ability are different from person to person. Interestingly, in a study of elderly men and women, those who had more education actually had more brain shrinkage. That may seem tike bad news, said study author Dr. Edward Coffey, a professor of psychiatry and of neurology at Henry Ford Health S

39、ystem in Detroit. However, he explained, the Finding suggests that education allows people to withstand more brain-tissue loss before their mental functioning begins to break down. The study, published in the July issue of Neurology, is the first to provide biological evidence to support a concept c

40、alled the reserve hypothesis, according to the researchers. In recent years, investigators have developed the idea that people who are more educated have greater cognitive reserves to draw upon as the brain tissue to spare. Examining brain scans of 320 healthy men and women ages 66 to 90, researcher

41、s found that for each year of education the subjects had, there was greater shrinkage of the outer layer of the brain known as the cortex. Yet on tests of cognition and memory, all participants scored in the range indicating normal. Everyone has some degree of brain shrinkage, Coffey said. People lo

42、se (on average) 2.5 percent decade starting at adulthood. There is, however, a remarkable range of shrinkage among people who show no signs of mental decline, Coffey noted. Overall health, he said, accounts for some differences in brain size. Alcohol or drug use, as well as medical conditions such a

43、s diabetes and high blood pressure, contribute to brain-tissue loss throughout adulthood. In the absence of such medical conditions, Coffey said, education level helps explain the range of brain shrinkage exhibited among the mentally-fit elderly. The more-educated can withstand greater loss. Coffey

44、and colleagues gauged shrinkage of the cortex by measuring the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain. The greater the amount of fluid, the greater the cortical shrinkage. Controlling for the health factors that contribute to brain injury, the researchers found that education war related to the s

45、everity of brain shrinkage. For each year of education from first grade on, subjects had an average of 1.77 milliliters more cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. For example, Coffey s team reported, among subjects of the same sex and similar age and skull size, those with 16 years of education had

46、8 percent to l0 percent more cerebrospinal fluid compared with those who had four years of schooling. Of course, achieving a particular education level is not the definitive measure of someone s mental capacity. And, said Coffey, education can be a proxy for many things. More-educated people, he noted, are often less likely to have habits, such as smoking, that harm overall health. But Coffey said that his team s findings suggest that like the body, the brain benefits from exercise. The
