25、EET 1.BPart A/BBText 1/BOne theory of human evolution is that our ancestors were semi-aquatic apes. They spent much time in water that they lost their body hair, which makes swimming difficult. Daedalus points out that in fact, water is a deadly environment for human beingsnot by drowning; but by ch

26、illing. Our alleged aquatic ancestors should have grown even thicker, longer fur to minimize heat transfer. Indeed, in a maritime accident, it is worth putting on all the clothes you can find; you will live that much longer in the water. As for swimmingforget it. It stirs away all the body heat it g

27、eneratesSadly, many sea disasters happen so suddenly that there is no time to look for spare clothes. So Daedalus is devising a nautical uniform which reacts with water to form an ideal survival garment. His first inspiration was the absorptive acrylate polymer used in bandages, and babies nappy. It

28、 can take up hundreds of times its weight of water, expanding into soft jellylike stuff as it does so. In fibrous form, it can be woven into cloth. Underclothes of this fabric would swell in water into a splendid wet-suit to prevent heat losing. But Daedaluss suit will not merely insulate; it will a

29、ctively generate heat. He recalls the immersion batteries on aircraft life-jackets, which use sea water to generate electricity, and power a signal lamp. His new garment will be one large distributed battery, triggered by immersion in water.Its electrochemistry is an interesting challenge. At first

30、Daedalus wanted it to generate hydrogenperhaps enough of it to fill a balloon and lift the wearer out of the water. But more sanely, he now wants it to exploit the high energy for metal oxidation. A distributed zinc-air battery, exploiting the oxygen dissolved in the water, seems best. A few hundred

31、 grams of zinc could keep the wearer warm for hours in the coldest water. Hydrogen generated in a side reaction might usefully inflate floating pockets in the garment.Swollen by gas and absorbed water, the survival suit will usefully discourage attempts to swim. Its wearer may generate a little adde

32、d heat by shivering, though this also will stir away all the body heat. Only young babies can combat cold by passive thermogenesis. Advocates of our aquatic origins are welcome to the uninteresting argument that their ability is a very small remnant of our ancestral watery metabolism.（分数：5.00）(1).Fr

33、om the passage we learn that man dies in sea disasters mainly because _ .（分数：1.00）A.he has too thick clothes onB.he can not swimC.he does not have waterproof clothesD.he loses too much of body heat in the water(2).Daedaluss survival water garment is _ .（分数：1.00）A.to use sea water to produce heatB.to

34、 use the body to generate heatC.to use the power produced by aircraft life-jacketD.to use passive thermogenesis.(3).Daedaluss survival water garment can _ .（分数：1.00）A.generate heatB.generate gas and heatC.help the wearer swim and keep warmD.help the wearer float(4).We can infer from the passage that

35、 _ .（分数：1.00）A.with less sea accidents fewer people will dieB.Daedaluss new design of water garment costs too muchC.with thicker fat under skin we may survive sea accidents betterD.an aircraft life-jacket can do the same as Daedaluss water better(5).The main idea of the passage is _ .（分数：1.00）A.baby

36、 can stay“ alive in cold water longer than adultsB.how to keep out the cold in waterC.how to float better in waterD.human beings came from semi-water apesBText 2/BManagers spend a great deal of their time in meetings. According to Henry Mintzbery, in his book, The Nature of Managerial Work, managers

37、 in large organizations spend only 22 per cent of their time on meetings. So what are the managers doing in those meetings?There have conventionally been two answers. The first is the academic version: Managers are coordinating and controlling, making decisions, solving problems and planning. This i

38、nterpretation has been largely discredited because it ignores the social and political forces at work in meetings.The second version claims that meetings provide little more than strategic sites for corporate gladiators to perform before the organizational emperors. This perspective is far more attr

39、active, and has given rise to a large, and often humorous, body of literature on gamesmanship and posturing in meetings.It is, of course, true that meeting rooms serve as shop windows for managerial talent, but this is far from the truth as a whole. The suggestion that meetings are actually battle g

40、rounds is misleading since the raison detre of meetings has far more to do with comfort than conflict. Meetings are actually vital props, both for the participants and the organization as a whole.For the organization, meetings represent recording devices. The minutes of meetings catalogue the change

41、 of the organization, at all levels, in a more systematic way than do the assorted memos and directives which are scattered about the company. They enshrine the minutes of corporate history, they itemize proposed actions and outcomes in a way which makes one look like the natural culmination of the

42、other.The whole tenor of the minutes is one of total premeditation and implied continuity. They are a sanitized version of reality which suggests a reassuring level of control over events. What is more, the minutes record the debating of certain issues in an official and democratic forum, so that th

43、ose not involved in the process can be assured that decision was not taken lightly.As Dong Bennett, an administrative and financial manager with Allied Breweries, explains: “Time and effort are seen to have been invested in scrutinizing a certain course of action. “Key individuals are also seen to h

44、ave put their names behind that particular course of action. The decision can therefore proceed with the full weight of the organization behind it, even if it actually went through“ on the nod “. At the same time, the burden of responsibility is spread, so that no individual takes the blame.Thus, th

45、e public nature of formal meetings confers a degree of legitimacy on what happens in them. Having a view pass unchallenged at a meeting can be taken to indicate consensus.However, meetings also serve as an alibi for action, as demonstrated by one manager who explained to his subordinates: “I did wha

46、t I could to prevent itI had our objections minutes in two meetings. “The proof of conspicuous effort was there in black and white.By merely attending meetings, managers buttress their status, while non-attendance can carry with it a certain stigma. Whether individual managers intend to make a contr

47、ibution or not, it is satisfying to be considered one of those whose views matter. Ostracism, for senior managers, is not being invited to meetings.As one cynic observed, meetings are comfortingly tangible: “Who on the shop floor really believes that managers are working when they tour the works? But assemble them behind closed
