27、 way they regulate body temperature. Ways of【 C1】 _ the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old【 C2】 _into “warm blooded“ and “cold blooded“ species; warm blooded included mammals and birds, 【 C3】 _all other creatures were conside

28、red cold blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was【 C4】 _. A fence lizard usually has a body temperature only a degree or two below that of humans and so is not cold. Therefore the next distinction was made between animals that maintain a【 C5】 _body temper

29、ature and those whose body temperature varies with their environment. But this classification also【 C6】_inadequate, because among mammals there are many that vary their body temperatures during hibernation. Furthermore, many invertebrates that live in the【 C7】_of the ocean never experience a change

30、in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant. The current distinction is between animals whose body temperature is regulated chiefly by internal metabolic processes and those whose temperature is regulated by the【 C8】 _. The latter do so mainly by moving to favorable s

31、ites or by changing their exposure to【 C9】 _ sources of heat. Mammals and birds also regulate their temperature by choosing favorable environments, but primarily they regulate their temperature by【 C10】 _a variety of internal adjustments. 42 【 C1】 43 【 C2】 44 【 C3】 45 【 C4】 46 【 C5】 47 【 C6】 48 【 C7

32、】 49 【 C8】 50 【 C9】 51 【 C10】 SECTION A In this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 51 (l)The majority of successful senior managers d

33、o not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executive

34、s rely on what is vaguely termed “intuition“ to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking. (2)Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing

35、 managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness. (3)Isenbergs recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that manage

36、rs intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is bas

37、ed on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an “Aha!“ experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational a

38、nalysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally,

39、managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes patterns. (4)One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that

40、 “thinking“ is inseparable from acting. Since managers often “know“ what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organ

41、izations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert. 52 The classical model of decision analysis includes all EXCEPT_. （ A） evaluation of a problem （ B） establishment of clear goals to be reached by the decision （ C） action undertaken in or

42、der to discover more information about a problem （ D） comparison of the probable effects of different solutions to a problem 53 How the writers on management understand intuition can be best described as _. （ A） contradictory （ B） irrational （ C） insightful （ D） vague 54 In the authors view, senior

43、managers do NOT use intuition to _. （ A） speed up the creation of a solution to a problem （ B） identify a problem （ C） specify clear goals （ D） evaluate possible solutions to a problem 54 (l)More and more of the worlds supply of seafood is coming from farms. (2)Although 80% of the worlds seafood com

44、es from marine harvests, there is a major shift under way toward aquaculture now. (3)Nearly 40% of salmon marketed today are raised in captivity, compared with 6% a decade ago. Forty percent of all clams, oysters, and mussels are produced in farm environments, along with 65% of freshwater fish. Betw

45、een 1990 and 1996, fish-farming production rose from 12.4 million to 23 million tons worldwide, writes Anne Platt McGinn in an article for World Watch magazine. (4) “The fact that world seafood supplies continue to increase at all is due almost entirely to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture,“ says

46、 McGinn, a research associate at the World Watch Institute. Commercial aquaculture is driven by rising human population at a time when over harvested wild fish stocks are in decline and conventional farm production has leveled off. (5)Biotechnology is contributing to high-yield aquaculture through t

47、ransgenics the transfer of genes from one species to another. Researchers introduce desirable genetic traits into fish, creating hardier stocks. For example, some species of fish have a protein that allows them to live in Arctic waters. By transplanting this “anti-freeze“ gene into other species, re

48、searchers have created more fish that can survive in extremely cold water, according to Ag-West Biotech, Inc., in Saskatchewan, Canada. (6)Biotechnologists are attempting to improve a wide range of genetic traits in fish used for aquaculture, developing fish that are larger and faster-growing, more

49、efficient in converting feed into muscle, more tolerant of low oxygen levels in water, and better able to resist disease. (7)Researchers also are seeking plant-based sources of food as a more efficient alternative to fishmeal. The use of plant protein on fish farms could take some of the pressure off wild
