12、 someones blinks, according to psychologist John Stern U U 1 /U /UWashington University in St. Louis. Stern specialized in the study on these tiny twitches, using them as sensitive U U 2 /U /Uof how the brain works. “I use blinks as a psychological measure to makeU U 3 /U /Uabout thinking because I
13、have very little U U 4 /U /Uin what you tell me about what you are thinking.“ He says. “If I ask you the question, what does the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss mean? you cant tell me U U 5 /U /Uyouve started looking for the answer. But I can, by watching your eyes.“Blinks also tell Stern whe
14、n you have understood his question-often long before hes finished asking it-and when youve found an answer or part of U U 6 /U /U. “We blink at times U U 7 /U /Uare psychologically important.“ He says. “You have listened to a question, you understand it, U U 8 /U /Uyou can take time out for a blink.
15、 Blinks are U U 9 /U /Umarks. Their timing is tied to what is going on in your U U 10 /U /U.“Stern has found that U U 11 /U /Usuppress blinks when they are absorbing or anticipating U U 12 /U /Ubut not when theyre reciting it. People blink later, for example, U U 13 /U /Uthey have to memorize six nu
16、mbers instead of two. “You dont blink,“ he says, “until you have U U 14 /U /Uthe information to some short-term memory store.“ And if subjects are cued U U 15 /U /Uthe set of numbers is coming, say, five seconds, theyll curb their blinks until the task is U U 16 /U /U. Similarly, the more important
17、the information that people are taking in, the more likely they are to put their blinks on hold for U U 17 /U /UPilots blink less when theyre U U 18 /U /Ufor flying a plane than when they U U 19 /U /Utheir eyes from the road to the rearview mirror.

23、ers“ of the Far East. Last year, the value of their currencies dropped rapidly, after investors decided that their economic policies were not strong enough; now the region is suffering slower growth, lower living standards and rising unemployment.The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted fro
24、m individual governments to the markets. In theory, governments are free to set their own economic policies; in practice, they must conform to a global economic model or risk being penalized by the markets.Adjusting to this new “economic order“ is proving difficult, in the developed world, and in pa
25、rticular the European Union, globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics complain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost to workers in poorer countries, and wages for employees in rich countries are falling. Opponents in the European Union point to the
26、effects that globalization has had in the U.S. and Britain. In those countries, wages are stagnant-except for a few privileged-and taxes and welfare benefits have been reduced to help companies compete with industries in the developing world.Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of be
27、ing shortsighted protectionists. They claim that a more integrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in those areas where they perform best. Developing countries, with their higher populations and lower wages, will concentrate on labor-int
28、ensive industries. The richer countries, on the other hand, will diversify into high-tech industries, where high productivity and specialist knowledge are paramount. The effect of this will be to improve productivity in all countries, leading to higher living standards. The free movement of capital
29、will also help poorer countries develop so that they can play a full and active role in the world economy.But how close are we to a truly global economy? For those in favor of globalization, probably too close. But in terms of real economic integration, there are still many problems to be solved. A
30、global economy would mean complete freedom of movement of goods and services, capital, and labor. Yet, even ignoring the tariffs and other restrictions still in place, cross-border trade remains tiny as compared with the volume of goods and services traded within countries; foreign investment is als
31、o extremely small, amounting to little more than five percent of the developed worlds domestic investments.But what is really holding globalization back is the lack of labor mobility. Labor markets remain overwhelmingly national, even in areas like the European Union, where citizens can live and wor
32、k in any EU country. The main reasons for this are language and cultural barriers; the lack of internationally recognized qualifications; and, in some cases, strict immigration controls.（分数：10.00）(1).The main reason why some Asian countries are suffering from economic depression is that they _. A. d
33、oubt that global financial markets will control national economies B. fail to follow a global economic model adequately C. have set their own free economic policies D. have their power interfere with the markets（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The main opposition to globalization is that _. A. taxes and welfare
34、 in the developed countries are reduced without protection of trade barriers B. there are too great economic differences between rich and poor countries C. globalization is beneficial to the developing countries only D. high productivity and specialist knowledge are not suitable to labor-intensive i
35、ndustries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does the sentence “wages are stagnant“ (Paragraph 3) most probably mean? A. Wages stop rising. B. Wages are so high that there is no need to rise. C. There is a pause in wages, but they will soon rise. D. Wages begin to fall.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “paramount
36、“ (Paragraph 4) may be replaced by _. A. vital B. more important C. less important D. similar（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The author suggests in the passage that in order to realize a truly global economy, great efforts should be made in all the following aspects EXCEPT _. A. elimination of language and cul
37、tural barriers B. permission of free labor mobility C. increase in the volume of goods and services traded beyond border D. reduction of tariffs and loosening of other restrictions（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、BPassage Two/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Male chauvinism-the attitude that women are the passive and inferior se
38、rvants of society and of men-sets women apart from the rest of the working class. Even when they do the same work as men, women are not considered workers in the same sense, with the need and right to work to provide for their families or to support themselves independently. They are expected to acc
39、ept work at lower wages and without job security. Thus they can be used as a marginal or reserve labor force when profits depend on extra low costs or when men are needed for war.Women are not supposed to be independent, so they are not supposed to have any “right to work“. This means, in effect, th
40、at although they do work, they are denied the right to organize and fight for better wages and conditions. Thus the role of women in the labor force undermines the struggles of male workers as well. The boss can break a union drive by threatening to hire lower paid women or blacks. In many cases, wh
41、ere women are organized, the union contract reinforces their inferior position, making women the least loyal and militant union members. (Standard Oil workers in San Francisco recently paid the price of male supremacy. Women at Standard Oil have the least chance for advancement and decent pay, and t
42、he union has done little to fight this. Not surprisingly, women formed the core of the back to work move that eventually broke the strike.)In general, because women are defined as docile, helpless, and inferior, they are forced into the most demeaning and mind rotting jobs-from scrubbing floors to f
43、iling cards-under the most oppressive conditions where they are treated like children or slaves. Their very position reinforces the idea, even among the women themselves, that they are fit for and should be satisfied with this kind of work.Apart from the direct, material exploitation of women, male
44、supremacy acts in more subtle ways to undermine class consciousness. The tendency of male workers to think of themselves primarily as men (i.e., powerful) rather than as workers (i. e., members of an oppressed group) promotes a false sense of privilege and power, and an identification with the world
45、 of men, including the boss. The petty dictatorship which most men exercise over their wives and families enables them to vent their anger and frustration in a way which poses no challenge to the system. The role of the man in the family reinforces aggressive individualism, authoritarianism, and a h
46、ierarchical view of social relations-values which are fundamental to the perpetuation (不朽) of capitalism. In this system we are taught to relieve our fears and frustrations by brutalizing those weaker than we are: a man in uniform turns into a pig; the foreman intimidates the man on the line; the hu
47、sband beats his wife, child, and dog.（分数：10.00）(1).Unfair working status of women also produces negative effects on men in that _. A. men face the threat of being replaced by low wage women B. men have to deal with womens complaints all the time C. womens low income often irritate their husbands D. womens inferior working condition worries their husban
