A novel can be on the “best sellers“ list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million
7、TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight. This is the principle behind “quiz“ or “game“ shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this mo
8、ney can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the lose
9、rs proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show“s producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn“t like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movi
10、e under the title “Quiz Show“ is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren“t taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or tha
11、t try to cause newly married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.（分数：7.00）(1).TV can make a beggar world famous

15、分数：8.00)Ford1. Ford“s great strength was the manufacturing processnot invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popula
16、r automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market. 2. The company“s assembly line alone threw America“s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford“s friends, who were great toolmakers f
17、rom Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.

He also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something t
19、hat didn“t involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan “an economic crime“, and critics everywhere laughed at Ford. 4. But as the wage increased later to daily $10,it proved a critical component of Ford“s dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all

It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created
24、. This company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson and EL for Elliot. In the mid 1950“s, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilly doll. Lilly was a shapely, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West
25、German Newsletter, Build. Lilly is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handier to design the Barbie doll. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbies wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barb
26、ie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limbed, shapely, beautiful, and only 11.5 inches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter, Barbie. In 1959, the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and

31、.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)SleepWe all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours“ sleep alternating with some 16-17 hours“ wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what exte
32、nt this cycle can be modified. The question is no more academic one. The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round the clock working of machines. It normally
33、 takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4
34、p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently. One answer would seem to be longer periods on each shift, a month,
35、 or even three months. Recent research by Bonier of the Netherlands, however, has shows that people on such systems will revert to their normal habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week. The only
36、real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a corps of permanent night workers whose nocturnal wakefulness may persist through all weekend and holidays. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a high incidence of
37、 disturbed sleep, digestive disorder and domestic disruption among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms among those on permanent night work.（分数：15.00）(1).The question raised in paragraph 1 is “no more academic one“（分数：3.00）A.because Bonjer“s finding
38、s are different from Browns.B.because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.C.because some people can change their sleeping habits easily.D.because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits.(2).According to the passage, the main problem about night work is
39、that（分数：3.00）A.people hate the inconvenience of working on night shifts.B.your life is disturbed by changing from day to night routines and back.C.not all industries work at the same hours.D.it is difficult to find a corps of good night workers.(3).According to the passage, the best solution on the
40、problem seems to be（分数：3.00）A.not to change shifts from one week to the next.B.to make periods on each shift longer.C.to employ people who will always work at night.D.to find ways of selecting people who adapt quickly.(4).In the second paragraph, “the third“ means（分数：3.00）A.the third week.B.the thir
41、d shift.C.a third of the time.D.the third routine.(5).In the last sentence of the second paragraph, “another“ means（分数：3.00）A.another routine.B.another shift.C.another week.D.another person.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)More Than Just MoneyWhen Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years
42、as a staff nurse at Toronto Western Hospital. Her employer not only cheered her on. But also Paid her tuition and gave her a day off with pay every week to study. Throughout her years at the hospital, Rochester has also taken workshops on everything from coaching peers to career developmentcourses t
43、hat she believes have helped her advance at work. “I“m now head of the mentoring (指导) program for new hires. Students and staff nurses.“ she says. “There“s a lot of room for personal improvement here.“ Perhaps as important, Rochester says her employer supports and values her work. If you put in over
44、time. The nurse points out “you get your mealsthey“ll order in pizza or Greek food or Chinese.“ And if staffers feel stiff and stressed from too many hours on the ward. They can call for a flee 15-minute shoulder-and-neck massage (按摩) or even sign up for an eight-week evening course on meditation sk
45、ills and stress-relief. If that“s not enough, employees can take advantage of five family days a year that can be used if the kids come down with the flu or an aging parent needs ferrying to an important doctor“s appointment. And they have access to a range of perks (好处) such as special rates on hot
46、el rooms, drugstore purchases, and scholarships for employees“ children. You might wonder how an organization can provide such resources and still survive. But University Health Network is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that have discovered that investing in staff is good busines
47、s. If such initiatives help companies cut down on turnover (人员更替) alone, they“re well worthwhile. Says Prem Benimadhu, a vice-president at the Conference Board of Canada. It costs anywhere from $3.300 to rehire support staff, an average $13,300 for technical staff and a whopping (巨资) $43,000 for an
48、executive position, according to one study of Conference Board members. Innovative initiatives help companies attract talented employees, cut down on sick days (which cost Canadian businesses an estimated $17 billion a year, or an average of $3,550 per Employee) and keep employees more interested in
49、 their work. With the substantial talent shortage that already exists in Canada and the prospect of mass retirement over the next five yearsas many as 50 or 60 percent in some sectorsBenimadhu says that intelligent employers are putting a renewed focus on the people who work for them.（分数：15.00）(1).When Rochester decided to go to school, her employer（分数：3.00）A.persuaded her to change her mind.B.fired her.C.cheered her on.D.discouraged her.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to ease one“s stiffness and stress?（分数：3.00）A.To take an eight-week evening course on meditat
