Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the

11、ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Statistics often sounds like a dry subject, but sometimes its necessary to take a statistics course to get the correct answer to this problem. Take the following case for example: a football scout （球探）hears of a player who has powered his team to a good win-loss record

12、. His coaches think hes one of the most talented players theyve seen. But the scout is unimpressed by the one practice game he sees him in; he tells his manager its not worth trying to recruit （录用）the player.Most sports fans would think that was a pretty foolish decision, right? Athletic performance

13、 is much too variable to base an important judgment on such a small sample. But consider this problem: an employer gets an application from a junior executive （主管人员）with an excellent college record and strong references from his current employer. The employer interviews the applicant and is unimpres

14、sed. The employer tells his colleagues that its not worthwhile recruiting him.Most people regard this as a reasonable sort of decision. But it isnt. Countless studies show that the unstructured 30-minute interview is virtually worthless as a predictor of long-term performance by any criteria that ha

15、ve been examined.In both cases, predictions based on references-school reports, prior performance, letters of recommendation-give a 65-75% chance of choosing the better of the two.Why do we get the athletic problem right and the employment problem wrong? Because in the case of the job, unlike for at

16、hletic performance, we havent seen hundreds of candidates in interviews of a particular type and seen how well performance in the interview corresponds to ultimate （最终的）performance in the setting were concerned about. We haven91 seen that the guy who looks like a fool in the interview turns out to b

17、e clever on the job and the guy who does well in the interview turns out to be average. The only way to see that the interview isnt going to be worth much is to be able to apply the “law of large numbers”, which assists the recognition that an interview represents a very small sample of behavior.The

18、 bottom line: theres safety in numbers. The more recommendations a person has, the more positive the outcome is likely to be for the employer. Consider the job interview: it9s not only a tiny sample, its not even a sample of job behavior but of something else entirely. Psychological theory and data

19、show that we are incapable of treating the interview data as little more than unreliable gossip. It just too compelling （强迫性的）that wee learned a lot from those 30 minutes.My recommendation is not to interview at all unless youre going to develop an interview protocol （体系）,with the help of a professi

20、onal, which is based on careful analysis of what you are looking for in a job candidate. And then ask exactly the s ame questions of every candidate. Its harder to develop such a protocolthan you might guess. But it can really pay off.1、The cases in the first two paragraphs are meant to.A. illustrat

21、e the influence of fansB. show the weaknesses of scoutsC. attach importance to interviewsD. introduce the topic of the passage2、The author believes that .A. the setting in the job interview is too artificial to be convincingB. a successful candidate usually uses tricks to cover his real charactersC.

22、 a small sample is not enough to make a generalized judgement of a candidateD. the number of candidates hasnt satisfied the requirements for a job interview 3、What is the best title for the passage?A. How employees are selectedB. Where statistics are availableC. Why job interviews are pointlessD. Wh

23、en recommendations are neededText 2Money is the root of all evil （牙B恶）and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than po

24、orer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences （PNA美国国家科学院院刊）.They carried out the fii*st two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive c

25、ars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral thin

26、gs in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out

27、of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks, It also means they care less about other peoples feelings.Finally, it just makes them greedier. Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- int

28、erest/9 said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings dont mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts （本能）and values in different

29、 ways.1、 By saying “money is the root of all eviT, the author wants to .A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers9 attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things2、According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes ric

30、h people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.3、Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects peoples morality.B. To show peoples instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the

31、saying “money is the root of all evil“ is true.D. To show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.4、What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely

32、 to act badly.Text 3Current Culture: Is Common Culture Alive?The digitizing and globalizing world is changing the working of culture. As some see it, cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit: people can no longer count on those around them valuing any of the same m

33、usic or films. Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as changing forms: it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks.The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today, that the culture is increasingly availabl

34、e everywhere you want it, and whenever you want it, not just in the two months after the movie or book came out. Cultural possibilities have multiplied as a result, but the change also means fewer cultural moments. It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society. So what will

35、it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture?For the enthusiasts of these changes, culture is not about popular artists or books, but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia, where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and makes connection

36、s across boundaries. It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have participated in such websites, but in totally different corners of them, have had a cultural experience in common. In fact, these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people, who build things together, share i

37、nformation, and forward articles back and forth.There are still more questions. What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation? Is there anything to defend and preserve in the passing cultural world, or is that merely to favor pen over printing pr

38、ess, horse over automobile?Up to now a growing quantity of culture has been globally spreading and developing. More individuals （个人）than ever have the chances to be makers of culture, even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common. What it means is this strange fe

39、eling: that of being more connected than ever, with one-click access to so much of the cultural harvest around the world, and yet, of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others, concerned only with ourselves.1 675. In Paragraph 1 the author indicates.A. the missing of common
