26、ER SHEET 1.45 When John Rothas got into the hydraulics (水力学)business 18 years ago he never dreamed hed see his work up on the silver screen. But today he is, essentially, a Hollywood veteran. Rothas is a sales representative with Mayo Hydraulics, based in California. He has worked with special effec
27、ts teams to move sets on some major Hollywood films. “Designing the systems needed for such projects makes for challenging and exciting work, “ says Rothas, “but Mayo Hydraulics most recent project - sinking the Titanic for Paramout Pictures (派拉蒙影片公司) )“- takes the cake. ”“It was thrilling because i
28、t was the Titanic and it was the largest moving set ever built, “says Rothas, with whom company President Mark Force, partnered with engineers at Pareker Hannifin Corp. to design and build the systems needed to sink the set. It was quite exciting - and it was the first time Mayo has ever gotten its
29、name in the credits(导演、演员、制片人等到名单)。Titanic director James Caneron needed to achieve unique special effects for the film. Those included moving three massive structures-the biggest of which was about the size of the 77-story building tipped on its side. Rothas and Forcm worked with Greg Paddocking ti
30、pped on its side. Rothas and Force worked with Greg Paddock of Parker Hannifin to design the hydraulic systems that would sink a 775-foot, 2-million pound scale model of the original ship; move a 200-foot long interior set; and tilt a 100-foot long poop(船尾)deck set from 6 degrees to 19 degrees. “I d
31、ont think anyone in Hollywood has ever moved anything this big, “says Rothas, who has made quite a name for himself and his company in Hollywood circles. The movie industry makes up a significant portion of Mayo Hydraulics business, according to business developer Hearty Chambers. Rothas adds that t
32、he industry is “Mayos niche market” that not all companies are equipped to serve. “Movie studios are demanding Mayo-type service, ” he says. But despite the high demands, Mayo Hydraulics has been able to deliver time and again and plans to continue to penetrate the profitable market. “Its a lot of f
33、un and its out of the norm and theres good money in it if youre prepared to put a lot of hours in, ” Rothas says. In addition to being called late at night and early in the morning to deal with problems . that arose during filming, Rothas says he spent a couple of 24-hour on the project. All told, M

37、ion.（C） Rothas actually worked on special effects.（D）It is very competitive in movie industry. 50 Thatcherism is, by Thatchers reckoning, only halfway completed. Upon coming to power in 1979, she reduced income taxes(the top rate fell from 83 percent to 60 percent), raised the value added tax (a lev
38、y on goods and services)from 8 percent to 15 percent and sharply cut public spending. The money supply was throttled, and interest rates were allowed to soar. The strategy cooled in flation, but also threw a record number of British companies in to bankruptcy. and millions of workers out of jobs. Si
39、nce 1979, when the downturn began, industrial production has slumped 8 percent. There are some encouraging signs. Bank lending rates are now in the 10 percent range, down from 17 percent in 1980 and interest on mortgages has fallen from 15 percent to around 11 percent. Productivity is up, and the ra
40、te of wage hikes is down. But none of these signs of improving health is proof the rebound will persist. Many economists are bracing for a jump in joblessness to 3. 3 million this fall. Nevertheless, the prime minister is unlikely to resort to Keynesian pump priming even if her policies remain slow
41、to work. At a critical time during her first term, when many in her cabinet were demanding a U-turn on economic policy, she uttered the now famous words: “The ladys not for turning. “Thatcher not only has changed the course of British economic policy, but has altered the shape of the nations politic
42、s, especially within the Conservative Party. Fading fast is the image of the Tories as the private preserve of landed gentlemen who went to the right schools, believe in moderation and carry a certain sense of nobleless oblige toward the lower classes. Thatcher has taken the party out of the hands o
43、f the gentry and turned it over to people like herself who have worked their way up in the world and who sometimes see a sense of social responsibility as an un- affordable luxury. She has forged an alliance between skilled workers and the middle class. Only unskilled workers have remained safely in
44、 the Labor camp, and theirs is a dwindling breed.51 Thatcherism is _.（A）Thatchers economic experiment（B） the Aliance forged by Thatcher between skilled workers and the middle class（C） the toughness of Thatchers personality and of her policies（D）the generalization of Thatchers first term 52 Which of
45、the following is true about the economic phenomena in Britain from 1979 to 19837（A）All interest rates were kept high.（B） Employment rate went up. So was productivity.（C） Inflation was down and industrial production dropped.（D）Both industrial production and productivity increased since 1979. 53 Which
46、 one of the following is not true?（A）Thatcher is a Tory.（B） Whether Thatcher would change her policies or not depended on whether the rebound would persist.（C） Thatcher advocated thrift.（D）Thatcher is self-reliant. 54 Which of the following agrees with the old image of a typical Tory?（A）Enthusiastic
47、.（B） With a life story which starts from obscurity to prominence.（C） Lacking a sense of social responsibility.（D）Genteel. 55 Which of the following is the right and the most complete list of the skills used in this pas- sage?（A）Giving examples, listing figures, making reference to the past.（B） Givin
48、g examples, listing figures, making comparisons.（C） Giving examples, listing figures, making comments.（D）Giving examples, listing figures, making comparisons, making predictions. 55 Why bother with the study of history? What possible connections exist between an increasingly remote past and our own
49、predicaments(困境) in the present? Can stories about other peoples in other places at any other times have any meaning in an age of vaulting (飞速发展的 ) technology and traumatizing (惊人)change? Is it reasonable to think that anyone can benefit from the experiences of others in a presumably unprecedented(前所未有的) time when our political and economic systems falter (踉跄), and the nuclear, peril causes nightmares of dread? These questions hold more than
