Let us suppose that the one grandparent of the dog was a collie, another was an Irish terrier, another a fox terrier, and the fourth a bulldog. We can express these facts equally scientifically and objectively by-saying that he is a dog of mixed breed. We have in no way gone be yond the requirements of exact scientific description.
Suppose, however, that we had called the same animal a" mongrel". The matter is more complicated. We have used a word which objectively means the same as" dog of mixed breed", but which also arouse in our hearers an emotional attitude of disapproval toward that particular dog. A word, therefore, can not only indicate an object; but can also suggest an emotional attitude toward it. Such suggestion of an emotional attitude does go beyond exact and scientific discussion because our approvals and disapprovals are individual--they belong to ourselves and not to the objects we approve or disapprove of.
Once we are on the outlook for this difference between" objective" and "emotional" meanings, we shall notice that words which carry more or less strong suggestions of emotional attitudes are very common and are ordinarily used in the discussion of such debatable questions as those of politics, morals, and religion. This is one reason why such controversies cannot yet be settled.
There is a well-known saying that the word "firm" can be declined as follows: I am firm, you are obstinate, and he is pigheaded. This is a simple illustration of what is meant. "Firm," "obstinate", and "pigheaded" all have the same objective meaning--that is, following one's own course of action and refusing to be influenced by other people's opinions. They have, how ever, different emotional meanings:" firm" has an emotional meaning of strong approval, "obstinate" of mild disapproval, "pigheaded" of strong disapproval.
In much the same way when, during World War I , thoughts were dominated by emotions, the Americans contrasted the spirit of our heroic boys with ruthlessness of the Germans. Now with the more objective attitude that has been brought by the lapse of time, we can look back and see that the spirit and the ruthlessness are objectively the same. Only the one word has an emotional meaning of approval, the other of disapproval.
The first three paragraphs tell us that______.
A.there is no real difference between calling a dog a mongrel and calling it a mixed breed
B.a dog of mixed breed is an emotional term
C.mongrel is an objective term
D.words may suggest emotional attitude as well as objective meaning

听力原文:W: Hi, Tom. What are you reading?
M: Oh, hi, Tanya. This is a newspaper, the Community News. It carries only good news.
W: Oh, yeah. I think I've seen that.
M: Yeah, isn't it a great idea? I'm so fed up with all the bad news you read about all the time. It's about time someone offers some creative choice to the mainstream newspapers.
W: I don't know.., the problem with it is, if it's only good news, how do you know you're getting the whole story, and not just sugar-coated truth? It doesn't sound like objective journalism — that both sides of a story and all facts are being reported.
What kind of newspaper is the Community News?
A.It's a new newspaper.
B.It reports only bad news.
C.It reports only good news.

, yet it is today an issue around in which controversy flourishes. At each stage of their school lives children are faced with exams: exams to enter junior middle school, senior middle school, vocational school, colleges and universities. As a result of having constantly to think of these hurdles facing them children find themselves under constant pressure, unable to take time off from studying exam-oriented subjects to relax with friends or to develop other interests. Within school the concentration on exam success leads to the neglect of courses which are not central to the examinations and a method of teaching and learning which emphasizes training the ability to do well in tests but neglects developing the ability to think creatively.
Despite such criticisms the examination system still has its defenders. Without it, they argue, how can we test students' abilities and evaluate the effectiveness of teachers and schools? They believe that they provide the only objective way of selecting students and reduce the exercise of unfair back-door practices to gain advantage for children on the basis of influence or corruption. Examinations are also felt to offer the impetus to students to master their subject in a way in which they otherwise might not. "While too much anxiety can be a bad thing, a little anxiety can stimulate students to learn better than if left without any test to pass," says Li Jie, a leading advocate of the value of testing. "I can remember things now which give me great pleasure which I doubt I would have learned at the time if I had not had to do so for the examinations."
57. Which of the following statements about examinations in China is correct?
[A] People can make money out of examinations.
[B] Only students of today have to take examinations.
[C] Students have to learn more about history than about any other subjects.
[D] People have different opinions concerning the value of examinations.
58. What is a possible result if students pay too much attention to examinations?
[A] Students neglect those exam-oriented subjects.
[B] Students are unable to relax with friends or to develop other interests.
[C] Teachers neglect the training of the students' ability to do well in tests.
[D] Students only pay attention to the development of their ability to think creatively.
59. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the advantage of examinations?
[A] Examinations are the only objective way of selecting students.
[B] Examinations are the only objective way to eliminate the problem of corruption.
[C] Examinations can tell us that too much anxiety can be a bad thing.
[D] Examinations can better stimulate students to study.

"When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I' m not wrong. "says Viola, a nurse. This s a common reaction(反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.
1. Try to be objective (客观) . When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol' s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says, "and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to earn through experience not to react like that to each failure. "
2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said . Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person' s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.
3. Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn' t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. " In Sheila' s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that' s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn' t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.
When Sol was criticized by his employer, he______
A.argued bitterly with his employer
B.was angry and gave up his job
C.was sorry for what he did
D.was sad and self-pitying

Have standards declined? There is no objective way of answering this question. Tests of the traditional sort— compositions, pr6cis writing, and so on—have always been subjective, so they cannot be used to judge whether people have got better or not over the years. But so-called objective tests are useless as a measure of progress too. They have not been used consistently in the same "concentration" over the period they have been in use, so there is no way of comparing exams "now" and "then". Moreover, usually in the form. of multiple choice questions, they do not, by and large, test the things that really count in mastering a language. Even comprehension is a partly "creative" activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside. And people can be trained in the techniques of multiple choice, while others fail the tests because they have been led astray precisely by their "suggestive" nature, so they are not really objective at all. We are left with only personal impression to go on.
My own is that, if anything, standards have declined somewhat in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed. I am not alone in this judgment In Sweden, for instance, Professors Johannes Hedberg and Gu.slav Kofien, two of the most experienced workers in the field; have on several occasions drawn attention to the lack of progress in the teaching of foreign languages since the late fifties. Yet Sweden is a sophisticated society with extremely high educational and academic standards, and very concerned not to be cut off from the rest of the world. If such a country cannot achieve advances in the study of foreign languages, it is unlikely that many, if any, others have done so.
Japan is another community where remarkably little progress has been made in the learning of English. It is probably as important for Japan as for Sweden to master that language, and there is much academic effort put into linguistic research of various kinds. Yet the average standard of language learning is abysmally low, particularly for such a highly literate and educated society. This is no doubt in part the result of a vicious circle: many of the professors of English at Japanese universities are themselves incapable of speaking or writing or even understanding the language well.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Multiple choice questions are objective because people cannot be trained any techniques.
B.Sweden emphasizes the teaching of English without paying attention to other countries.
C.We have to depend on our own impression to judge the English standards.
D.Compositions are useful to test people's English ability because people have to write out their viewpoints.

听力原文:W: Morning, Mr. Park.
M: Come here, Miss Li, I have something to talk to you.
W: What's the problem, Mr. Park?
M: We need to define a new strategy which must be flexible enough to take account of changing market conditions.
W: I agree. Our main objective must be to gain market share, and to do this we must reduce prices.
M: So you are sure that if we reduce prices, our market share will increase?
W: Yes, I'm sure.
M: That might be true. But if we reduce our prices, our margins will be lower and that will cut our profits.
W: In short term it is right. But we can slowly increase our production and as the production is increased, we may cut unit cost.
M: That's really a log-term prospect. But I believe higher profitability is our objective. The better the products, the higher the price, and the higher price will enhance higher profits.
W: The market is already very competitive. And if we raise our prices, whatever the quality, sales will drop rapidly.
M: Then shall we look at it from the other viewpoint--manufacturing. Well, if we can reduce cost in manufacturing that must put us in a strong position to adapt to the market. The only way for us is to sub-contract more of the production.
W: That will mean job losses if we do that.
M: That's true. But the jobs that remain will be more secure.
W: It sounds reasonable. Maybe we can try this way.
M: That's the best we can do, don't you agree?

听力原文:M: Come in Emily and take a seat.
F: Thanks.
M: So, where do we start? Should we begin with a look at last year and then go on from there?
F: Fine.
M: So, how do you feel you've done in your first full year with the company?
F: Overall, I think I've done quite well. I feel quite confident now about what I do.
M: And are you happy with your duties?
F: Well, the job is exactly as it was advertised in the paper, so there have been no surprises. I like dealing with customers and I don't mind answering the phone and preparing invoices. Sometime it's a bit boring typing long price lists, but then everyone has to do it.
M: That's true. Does anything make your job difficult?
F: The computer. To begin with, I was slow because I didn't know the program, but now I get annoyed when the computer just stops working for no reason. I often sit looking at the monitor for minutes, not sure whether it is still working or not. I think the network is too old for our software and we need some new machines.
M: But apart from the computer, is there anything else you would like to change?
F: Erm, let me see. I'd like the authority to issue credit notes without having to ask you first. You're often away on business and sometimes customers ring up with a complaint. And if we can't contact you, then we can't deal with the complaint properly. It's a bit embarrassing at times.
M: Yes, but some of our customers always find something wrong and try and get a credit note with every order. You can't believe everything they say, you know. What about your objective for the future?
F: Well, I need to get 'to know the customers a bit better and maybe try to make fewer mistakes. But I think the most important thing is to increase my product knowledge, so don't, get embarrassed when customers make enquiries.
M: Don't worry. You'll learn all that in time. What I'd like to ask you about now is...
•Listen to the head of a department talking to an employee about her performance.
•For each question (23-30), mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
•You will hear the recording twice.

A.some time last year.

The first thing to do in seeking a position is to determine exactly what you want to do -- not in terms of some vague, ethereal (轻飘的) objective, such as "I, want to become a member of the management group," but with a definite and immediate goal. Through everyone's experience there must run a thread of consistency, a pattern of what the individual has enjoyed doing and hence has done well. Though actual jobs may have been held in different fields of endeavor, each one of us should be able to pick out the type of work he can do best.
Many men I have interviewed have come to me and said: "I am a financial man. Any sport you have in the treasurer's or controller's line, I'd like." or "I'm good with people. I can sell anything. If you hear of a sales manager's opening or public relations spot, I'd be a natural".
These men are confused. They have not thought through the problems and responsibilities of the fields they say they are qualified for. It is also apparent to the interviewer that they are thinking of themselves rather than of the contribution they can make to the future employer.
This does not imply that one man is not capable of filling several different kinds of positions. A man's aptitude or his past training may fit him for a number of job, but he should know enough not to confuse sales management with public relations or a treasurer's duties with those of a controller. (Personally I believe many companies set such rigid specifications .in looking for a man that they overlook worthwhile candidates.) But after all, if an individual cannot decide for himself what he can do best, how can he expect anyone else to do it for him?

A.disagree with Franklin on death and taxes as the only two certainties
