You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passa

21、ge on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Questions 15 It was a day that Michael Eisner would undoubtedly like to forget. Sitting in a Los Angeles witness box for four hours last

22、week, the usually unflappable chairman of the Walt Disney Co. struggled to maintain his composure. Eisners protg turned nemesis. Jeffrey Katzenberg, his former employee, was seeking $ 500 million in his breach-of-contract suit against Disney, and Eisner was trying to defend his, and his companys int

23、egrity. At one point Eisner became flustered when Katzenbergs attorney, Bertram Fields, asked if he recalled telling his biographer, Tony Schwartz, “I think I hate the little midget.“ Later Eisner recalled that the same day, he had received a fax from Katzenberg meant for Fields, thanking the lawyer

24、 for “managing“ a magazine story that praised Katzenberg at Eisners expense: “I said to Schwartz, Screw that. If he is going to play this disingenuous game, I simply was not going to pay him his money.“ Last weeks revelations were the latest twist in a dispute that has entertained Hollywood and tarn

25、ished Disneys corporate image. The dash began five years ago, when Katzenberg quit Disney after a 10-year reign as studio chief, during which he oversaw production of such animated blockbusters as The Lion King. Disneys attorneys said that Katzenberg forfeited his bonus2 percent of profits in perpet

26、uity from all Disney movies, TV shows and stage productions from 1984 to 1994, as well as their sequels and tie-inswhen he left. The company ultimately paid Katzenberg a partial settlement of nearly $ 117 million, sources say. But talks broke down over how much Disney owed, and the dispute landed in

27、 court. Industry insiders never expected that Disney would push it this far. The last Hollywood accounting dispute that aired in public was Art Buchwaldss lawsuit against Paramount for profits he claimed to be owed from the 1988 Eddie Murphy hit Coming to America. Paramount chose to fight Buchwald i

28、n courtonly to wind up paying him $1 million after embarrassing revelations about its business practices. After that, studios made a practice of quietly settling such claims. But Disney under Eisner would rather fight than settle. And he and Katzenberg are both proud, combative types whose business

29、disagreement deepened into personal animus. So far, Disneys imageas well as Eisnershas taken a beating. In his testimony last week Eisner repeatedly responded to questions by saying “I dont recall“ or “I dont know“. Katzenberg, by contrast, offered a stack of notes and memos that appeared to bolster

30、 his claim. (The Disney executive who negotiated Katzenbergs deal, Frank Wells, died in a helicopter crash five years ago. ) The trial has also offered a devastating glimpse into the Magic Kingdoms business dealings. Internal documents detail sensitive Disney financial information. One Hollywood law

31、yer calls a memo sent to Katzenberg from a former Disney top accountant “a road map to riches“ for writers, directors and producers eager to press cases against Disney. The company declined requests to comment on the case. The next phase of the trial could be even more embarrassing. As Katzenbergs p

32、rofit participation is calculated, Eisner will have to argue that his animated treasures are far less valuable than Katzenberg claims. No matter how the judge rules, Disney will look like a loser. （分数：10.00）(1).At the end of the first paragraph, the pronoun “I“ in the quoted sentence “I said to Schw

33、artz“ refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) EisnerB.(B) FieldsC.(C) SchwartzD.(D) Katzenberg(2).Katzenberg made a lawsuit against Disney because（分数：2.00）A.(A) Disney dismissed him before the contract expiredB.(B) Eisner insulted him in a magazine by calling him “the little midget“C.(C) Disney did not pay him i

34、n accordance with the contractD.(D) Disney owed him $ 117 million(3).Hollywood studios now try to avoid sealing disputes with their employees in court because they fear that _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) involvement in a lawsuit will tarnish their reputationB.(B) many of their illegal business practices will be

35、found out by the publicC.(C) lawyers will overcharge them for such casesD.(D) their confidential business information will be divulged(4).It is implied in the last paragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) Disney has profited much less than the general public expectedB.(B) Disney has underpaid many of their e

36、mployeesC.(C) Eisners animated movies didnt bring as much money as Katzenberg thinksD.(D) Disney is undergoing a financial crisis(5).We can infer from this passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) Katzenberg will undoubtedly win the lawsuit and get all the money he claimedB.(B) Eisner will remain imperturbable

37、 all through the trialC.(C) Katzenberg will suffer great embarrassmentD.(D) Disney will face more lawsuits from its employeesQuestions 610 Roger Rosenblatts book Black Fiction, in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken

38、by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding on Black history. Addison Gayles recent work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work according to the notions of Black ident

39、ity which it introduces. Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology outwits much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatts literary

40、analysis discloses affinities and connections among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored. Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient reason,

41、other than the racial identity to the authors, to group together works by Black authors? Second, how does Black fiction make itself distinct from other modem fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an ident

42、ifiable, coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Blacks over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and designs independent of chronology. These structures are related to the themes, and they spring, not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black characters

43、in these novels exist in a predominantly White culture, whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it. Black Fiction does leave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt s theme-based analysis permits considerable objectivity, he even explicitly states that it is not his intention

44、to judge the merit of the various works, yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffuse. Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a d

45、ifferent kind of aesthetic? In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Tommers Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more nat

46、uralistic modes of expression? In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for an astute and worthwhile study. UBlack Fiction/U surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Jo

47、hnsons UAutobiography of an Ex-colored Man/U. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its forthright, lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and penetrating criticism. （分数：10.00）(1).The author objects to criticism of Black fiction like that by Addison Gayle because it _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) emphasizes purely literary aspects of such fictionB.(B) misinterprets the ideological content of such fictionC.(C) misunderstands the notions of Black identity contained in such fictionD.(D) substitutes political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction(2).The author of the passage is primarily concerned w
