Recently, however, both BMW and Renault have based their latest European marketing campaigns around the ic

23、on of modern biology.BMWs campaign, which launches its new 3-series sports saloon in Britain and Ireland, shows the new creation and four of its earlier versions zigzagging around a landscape made up of giant DNA sequences, with a brief explanation that DNA is the molecule responsible for the inheri

24、tance of such features as strength, power and intelligence. The Renault offering, which promotes its existing Laguna model, employs evolutionary theory even more explicitly. The companys television commercials intersperse clips of the car with scenes from a lecture by Steve Jones, a professor of gen

25、etics at University College London.BMWs campaign is intended to convey the idea of development allied to heritage. The latest product, in other words, should be viewed as the new and improved scion of a long line of good cars. Renaults message is more subtle. It is that evolution works by gradual im

26、provements rather than sudden leaps (in this, Renault is aligning itself with biological orthodoxy). So, although the new car in the advertisement may look like the old one, the external form conceals a number of significant changes to the engine. While these alterations are almost invisible to the

27、average driver, Renault hopes they will improve the cars performance, and ultimately its survival in the marketplace.Whether they actually do so will depend, in part, on whether marketeers have read the public mood correctly. For, even if genetics really does offer a useful metaphor for automobiles,

28、 employing it in advertising is not without its dangers. That is because DNAs public image is ambiguous. In one context, people may see it as the cornerstone of modern medical progress. In another, it will bring to mind such controversial issues as abortion, genetically modified foodstuffs, and the

29、sinister subject of eugenics.Car makers are probably standing on safer ground than biologists. But even they can make mistakes. Though it would not be obvious to the casual observer, some of the DNA which features in BMWs ads for its nice, new car once belonged to a woolly mammoth-a beast that has b

30、een extinct for 10, 000 years. Not, presumably, quite the message that the marketing department was trying to convey.（分数：5.00）(1).The campaign staged by both BMW and Renault are to promoteA. cars produced with brand-new technologies.B. cars modeled on DNA technology.C. cars which are improvements on

31、 the old ones.D. cars which have been face-lifted but otherwise remain little changed.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The difference between BMWs campaign and Renaults campaign is thatA. BMWs campaign employs the metaphor of DNA while Renaults doesnt.B. BMWs campaign emphasizes technological revolution while R

32、enaults emphasizes technological evolution.C. BMWs campaign conveys improvement more explicitly than Renaults.D. BMWs campaign is a lot more expensive than Renaults.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred that biological orthodoxy favorsA. no change. B. gradual change.C. great change. D. destruction

33、.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the author, the success of the campaigns may depend onA. public perceptions of DNA.B. the explicitness with which DNA is incorporated into the campaigns.C. advances in genetic research.D. the affordability on the part of customers.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).BMWs campaign

34、 has mistakenly conveyed the idea ofA. revolution. B. extinction. C. poverty. D. stagnation.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)It is interesting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and the United States. Americans divi

35、de these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and flesh, the two being in opposition in the life of a human being. Ideally spirit should prevail but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the other as evil. They believe tha

36、t a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle“ soul, the other is the “rough“ soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul. Sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul, neither does he fight his rough soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philos

37、ophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling ones obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor

38、expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a persons obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self discipline which

39、 is at once permissive and rigid, depending upon the area in which it is functioning.The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. Indeed, one may say it begins at birth. Early is the Japanese child given his own identity! If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japane

40、se toward their children I would put it in one succinct word- “respect“. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed from the moment he is put to his mothers breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.Rewards are frequent, a bit of candy bestowed at the ri

41、ght moment, an inexpensive toy. As the time comes to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim or all teaching is the es

42、tablishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, and continually practiced until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tempered to the childs tender age.

43、 It is no less gentle as time goes on. but certainly it is increasingly inexorable.Now, far away from that warm Japanese home, I reflect upon what 1 learned there. What, I wonder, will take the place of the web of love and discipline which for so many centuries has surrounded the life and thinking o

44、f the people of Japan?（分数：5.00）(1).The authors purpose in the passage is to _.A. discuss the virtue of the Japanese peopleB. compare the two souls of peopleC. describe the process of acquiring self-disciplineD. reflect the moral feeling and standards of the Japanese people（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Accord

45、ing to the passage, people in Japan believe that a child is born _.A. with two souls which are fighting with each otherB. basically goodC. evilD. sinful（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Based on the information in the passage, what does the Japanese emphasize in the teaching of self-discipline?A.

To fulfill ones duty.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Human relations have commanded peoples attenti

48、on from early times. The ways of people have been recorded in innumerable myths, folk, tales, novels, poems, plays, and popular or philosophical essays. Although the full significance of a human relationship may not be directly evident, the complexity of feelings and actions that can be understood at a glance is surprisingly g
