Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.（分数：10.00）_The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dra
12、matic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby“s in London on September 15th, 2008All but two pieces sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of th
13、e oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brother, filed for bankruptcy. The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $ 65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of art Economics, a research firm-double the
14、 figure five year earlier. Since then it may have come down to $ 50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. In the weeks and months that followed Mr
15、 Hirst“s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008Within weeks the
16、 world“s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby“s and Christie“s, had to pay out nearly $ 200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionist at the end of 1989This time experts reckon
17、 that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie“s chief executive, says: “I“m pretty confident we“re at the bottom. “ What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market.
18、Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds-death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waitin
19、g for confidence to return.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst“s sale was referred to as “a last victory“ because_.（分数：2.00）A.the art marker had witnessed a succession of victoriesB.the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC.Beautiful inside My Head Forever won ove
20、r all masterpiecesD.it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis(2).By saying “spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable“ (Lines 1-2, Para. 3), the author suggests that_.（分数：2.00）A.collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctionsB.people stopped every kind
21、 of spending and stayed away from galleriesC.art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extentD.works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2
22、007 to 2008B.The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.C.The art market generally went downward in various ways.D.Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.(4).The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are_.（分数：2.00）A.auction houses“ favoritesB.contemporary trendsC.fa

24、 room-a women“s group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their
25、 husbands don“t talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, “She“s the talker in our family. “ The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. “It“s true,“ he explained. “ When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn“t kee
26、p the conversation going, we“d spend the whole evening in silence. “ This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to taXk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. The pattern was observed by political
27、 scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed-but only a few of the men-gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, th
28、at amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year-a virtual epidemic of failed conversation. In my own research, complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or do
29、ing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking and social arrangements. Instead, they focused on communication: “He doesn“t listen to me. “ “He doesn“t talk to me. “ I found, as Hacker observed years before, that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremo
30、st, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives. In short, the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back

35、s for a high divorce rate in the USD.a brief introduction to the political scientist Andrew HackerOver the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors-habits-among consumers. These habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks o
36、r wipe counters almost without thinking, often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues. “There are fundamental public health problems, like dirty hands instead of a soap habit, that remain killers only because we can“t figure out how to change people“s habit,“ said Dr. Curtis, the dire
37、ctor the Hygiene Center at the London School of Hygiene that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin ; that defendants are entitled to
38、trial by their peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community and not just the letter of the law. The jury is also said to be the best surviving example of direct rather than representative democracy. In a direct democracy, citizens take turns governing themselves, rather
39、than electing representatives to govern for them. But as recently as in 1968, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons of supposedly superior intelligence, education, and moral character. Although the Supreme Cou
40、rt of the United States had prohibited intentional racial discrimination in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of Strauder v. West Virginia, the practice of selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws. The system also
41、failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid-20th century. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898, it was not until the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless the
42、y personally asked to have their names included on the jury list. This practice was justified by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative of women through the 1960s. In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act, ushering in
43、 a new era of democratic reforms for the jury. This law abolished special educational requirements for federal jurors and required them to be selected at random from a cross section of the entire community. In the landmark 1975 decision Taylor v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court extended the requirement
44、 that juries be representative of all parts of the community to the state level. The Taylor decision also declared sex discrimination in july selection to be unconstitutional and ordered states to use the same procedures for selecting male and female jurors.（分数：10.00）(1).From the principles of the U
