10、nsionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points)Text 1People often complain that plastics are too durable.Water bottles,shopping bags,and other trash litter the planet,from Mount Everest

11、to the Mariana Trench,becauseplastics are everywhere and dont break down easily.But some plastic materialchange over time.They crack and frizzle.They“weep”out additives.They melt intosludge.All of which creates huge headaches for institutions,such as museums,tryingto preserve culturally important ob

12、jects.The variety of plastic objects at risk isdizzying:early radios,avant-garde sculptures,celluloid animation stills from Disneyfilms,the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic artdidnt always know how to mix ingredients properly,says Th

13、ea van Oosten,apolymer chemist who,until retiring a few years ago,worked fbr decades at theCultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands.uIfs like baking a cake:If you donthave exact amounts,it goes wrong,“she says.The object you make is already a timebomb.”And sometimes,its not the artists fault.In t

14、he 1960s,the Italian artist PieroGilardi began to create hundreds of bright,colorful foam pieces.Those piecesincluded small beds of roses and other items as well as a few dozen naturecarpets”large rectangles decorated with fbam pumpkins,cabbages,andwatermelons.He wanted viewers to walk around on the

15、 carpets which meant theyhad to be durable.Unfortunately,the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable.It?sespecially vulnerable to light damage,and by the mid-1990s,Gilardis pumpkins,roses,and other figures were splitting and crumbling.Museums locked some of themaway in the dark.So van Ooste

16、n and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardis sculptures.Theyinfused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals.Van Oosten calls thosechemicals sunscreens“because their goal was to prevent further light damage andrebuild worn polymer fibers.She is proud that several sculptures have even go

23、value ofa degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the thirdstage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school,got a decent degree,youwould be set up for life.But that promise has been found wanting.As degrees becameuniversal,they b

24、ecame devalued.Education was no longer a secure route of socialmobility.Today,28 per cent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles,apercentage which is double the average among OECD countries.This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree,but rather stress that adegree is not

25、for everyone,that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not aninevitable one and that other options are available.Thankfiilly,there are signs that this is already happening,with Generation Zseeking to learn from their millennial predecessors,even if parents and teachers tendto be still set in

26、 the degree mindset.Employers have long seen the advantages ofhiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyalemployees than graduates.Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degreerequirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route

27、,consider that this may well bethe first of many.In this age of generalists,it pays to have specific knowledge orskills.Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates.When more and moreof us have a degree,it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education

28、 at 18 or 21;they willneed to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable.It hasbeen estimated that this generation,due to the pressures of technology,the wish forpersonal fulfilment and desire fbr diversity,will work for 17 different employers overthe course of their workin

29、g life and have five different careers.Education,and not justknowledge gained on campus,will be a core part of Generation Zs career trajectory.Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense:I am a geographer or I am a classisf.Their sons or daughters would never sa

30、y sucha thing;its as if they already know that their degree wont define them in the sameway.26.The author suggests that Generation Z s h o u l d.A be careful in choosing a collegeB be diligent at each educational stageC reassess the necessity of college educationD postpone their undergraduate applic

34、ted choice of jobs.Text 3Enlightening,challenging,stimulating,fiin.These were some of the words thatNature readers used to describe their experience of art-science collaborations in aseries of articles on partnerships between artists and researchers.Nearly 40%of theroughly 350 people who responded t

35、o an accompanying poll said they hadcollaborated with artists;and almost all said they would consider doing so in future.Such an encouraging result is not surprising.Scientists are increasingly seekingout visual artists to help them communicate their work to new audiences.Artists helpscientists reac

36、h a broader audience and make emotional connections that enhancelearning.One respondent said.One example of how artists and scientists have together rocked the senses camelast month when the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed a reworked version ofAntonio Vivaldis The Four Seasons.They reimagined th

37、e 300-year-old score byinjecting the latest climate prediction data for each season-provided by MonashUniversitys Climate Change Communication Research Hub.The performance was acreative call to action ahead of Novembers United Nations Climate ChangeConference in Glasgow,UK.But a genuine partnership

38、must be a two-way street.Fewer artists than scientistsresponded to the Nature poll;however,several respondents noted that artists do notsimply assist scientists with their communication requirements.Nor should their workbe considered only as an object of study.The alliances are most valuable whensci

39、entists and artists have a shared stake in a project,are able to jointly design it andcan critique each others work.Such an approach can both prompt new research aswell as result in powerful art.More than half a century ago,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology openedits Center for Advanced Visu

40、al Studies(CAVS)to explore the role of technology inculture.The founders deliberately focused their projects around light一 hence the“visual studies”in the name.Light was a something that both artists and scientists hadan interest in,and therefore could form the basis of collaboration.As science andt

41、echnology progressed,and divided into more sub-disciplines,the centre wassimultaneously looking to a time when leading researchers could also be artists,writers and poets,and vice versa.Natures poll findings suggest that this trend is as strong as ever,but,to make acollaboration work,both sides need

42、 to invest time,and embrace surprise andchallenge.The reach of art-science tie-ups need to go beyond the necessary purposeof research communication,and participants must not fall into the trap of stereotypingeach other.Artists and scientists alike are immersed in discovery and invention,andchallenge

43、 and critique are core to both,too.31.According to Paragraph 1,art-science collaborations h a v e.A caught the attention of criticsB received favorable responsesC promoted academic publishingD sparked heated public disputes32.The reworked version of The Four Seasons is mentioned to show t h a t.A ar

44、t can offer audiences easy access to scienceB science can help with the expression of emotionsC public participation in science has a promising futureD art is effective in facilitating scientific innovations33.Some artists seem to worry about in the art-science p a r t n e r s h i p.A their role may

45、 be underestimatedB their reputation may be impairedC their creativity may be inhibitedD their work may be misguided34.What does the author say about CAVS?A It was headed alternately by artists and scientists.B It exemplified valuable art-science alliances.C Its projects aimed at advancing visual st

46、udies.D Its founders sought to raise the status of artists.35.In the last paragraph,the author holds that art-science c o l l a b o r a t i o n s.A are likely to go beyond public expectationsB will intensify interdisciplinary competitionC should do more than communicating scienceD are becoming more

47、popular than beforeText 4The personal grievance provisions of New Zealands Employment Relations Act2000(ERA)prevent an employer from firing an employee without good cause.Instead,dismissals must be justified.Employers must both show cause and act in aprocedurally fair way.Personal grievance procedur

48、es were designed to guard the jobs of ordinaryworkers from unjustified dismissals.The premise was that the common law ofcontract lacked sufficient safeguards for workers against arbitrary conduct bymanagement.Long gone are the days when a boss could simply give an employeecontractual notice.But thes

49、e provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highlypaid managers and executives.As countless boards and business owners will attest,constraining firms from firing poorly performing,high-earning managers is ahandbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance.The difference

50、betweenC-grade and A-grade managers may very well be the difference between businesssuccess or failure.Between preserving the jobs of ordinary workers or losing them.Yet mediocrity is no longer enough to justify a dismissal.Consequently一 and paradoxically一 laws introduced to protect the jobs ofordin
