Reading Comprehension (40 points)TEXT AA few common misconception. Beauty is only skin-deep. Ones physicalassets and lia
19、bilities dont count all that much in a managerial career. Awoman should always try to look her best.Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-beautiful people. Thevirtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than
20、most of usrealize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individualsare more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, andpursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seekingmanagerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well,
21、andpromoted.Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again,the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just thecontrary. Their typical experiment Works something like this. They give eachmember of a group college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporatepe
22、rsonnel mangers a piece of paper relating an individualsaccomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers allsay exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikinglyattractive person, some an average looking character, and some an unusuallyunattractive hum
23、an being. Group members are asked to rate the individual oncertain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he orshe will be promoted.Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, thehigher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that thes
24、ocial scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful isgood. In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeperthan for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on thesubject, explains. In terms of their careers, the impact of physicalattractiv
25、eness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on femalescan be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive toget jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, there isenough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire(追求) to m
26、anagerial positions do not get on as well as women who may beless attractive.1. According to the passage, people often wrongly believe that inpursuing a career as a manager _.A. a persons property or debts do not matter muchB. a persons outward appearance is not a critical qualificationC. women shou
27、ld always dress fashionablyD. women should not only be attractive but also high-minded2. The result of research carried out by social scientists show that_.A. people do not realize the importance of looking ones bestB. women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid wellC. good looking

Experiments by scientists have shown that when people evaluateindividuals on certain attributes _.A. they observe the principle that beauty is only skin-deepB. they do not usually act accor
29、ding to the views they supportC. they give ordinary-looking persons the lowest ratingsD. they tend to base their judgment on the individuals accomplishments4. It can be inferred from the passage that in the business world _.A. handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractivewomen a
30、reB. physically attractive women who are in the public eye usually doquite wellC. physically attractive men and women who are in the public eyeusually get along quite wellD. good looks are important for women as they are for menTEXT BTo emphasize the stagnation and the narrowness of the societydepic
31、ted in Jane Austins novels is to take a narrow and mechanical view ofthem. Emma is not a period piece, nor is it what is sometimes called acomedy of manners. We read it to illuminate not only the past but also thepresent. And we must face here in both its crudity and its importance aquestion. Exactl
32、y what relevance and helpfulness does Emma have for ustoday? In what sense does a novel dealing skillfully and realistically with asociety and its standards, which are dead and gone forever, have value in ourvery different world today? Stated in such terms, the question itself isunsatisfactory. If E
33、mma today captures our imagination and engages oursympathies (as, in fact, it does), then either it has some genuine value for us,or else there is something wrong with the way we give our sympathy and ourvalues are pretty useless.Put this way, it is clear that anyone who enjoys Emma and then remarks
34、“but of course it has no relevance today” is, in fact, debasing the novel,looking at it not as a living, enjoyable work of art but as a mere dead pictureof a past society. Such an attitude is fatal both to art and to life. It can beassumed that Emma has relevance. The helpful approach is to ask why
35、thisnovel still has the power to move us today.What gives Emma its power to move us is the realism and depth offeeling behind Jane Austins attitudes. She examines with a scrupulous yetpassionate and critical precision the actual problems of her world. That thisworld is narrow cannot be denied. But t
36、he value of a work of art rests on thedepth and truth of the experience it communicates, and such qualities cannotbe identified with the breadth of the works panorama(概要). A conversationbetween two people in a grocery store may tell us more about as world warthan a volume of dispatches from the fron
37、t. The silliest of all criticisms of JanAusten is the one the blames her for not writing about the Battle of theWaterloo and French Revolution, which were in th4e headlines of thenewspapers she read. She wrote about what she genuinely understood, and noartist can do more.5.The main idea of the passa
38、ge is that _.A. a narrow view of Emma is natural and acceptableB. a novel should not depict a vanished societyC. a good novel is an intellectual rather than an emotional experienceD. Emma should be read with sensitivity and an open mind6. The author would probably disagree with those critics or read
39、ers whofind that the society in Jane Austens novels is _.A. unsympatheticB. uninterestingC. crudeD. authoritarian7. The author implies that a work of art is properly judged on the basisof its _.A. universality of human experience truthfully recordedB. popularity and critical acclaim in its own ageC.
40、 openness to varied interpretations, including seemingly contradictoryonesD. avoidance of political and social issues of minor importance8. The authors attitude toward someone who “enjoys Emma and thenremarks but of course it has no relevance today” can best be described asone of _.A. amusementB. as
41、tonishmentC. disapprovalD. resignationText CJoseph Jones had a criminal record, but he swore up and down that thistime he was innocent. Thats what the 36-year-old felon told a Los AngelesSuperior Court judge last year, just moments before pleading guilty to sellingcocaine. He received an eight-year
42、sentence. On Wednesday, Jones walkedout of Californias Salinas Valley State Prison, his conviction overturned atthe request of the Los Angeles District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Turns out,Jones really was innocent of the cocaine charge. Jones case is not all that unusual. In Los Angeles lately, it is t
43、heprosecutors who are asking that defendants be set free. The criminal justicesystem seems to have been turned inside out as authorities probe what mightbecome the most widespread police corruption scandal in the citys history.“I wouldnt say the system is in shambles, but it has certainly been serio
44、uslydisrupted,” says Michael Judge, chief public defender for Los Angeles. Ahigh-ranking police official who asked not to be named adds: “Ive neverseen anything like this before in Los Angeles. Its the kind of thing you hearabout in other places. I dont know if well ever get over it.” Police authori
45、ties say at least one officer has been fired, 11 placed onadministrative leave, and one, Rafael Perez, has resigned, as allegations swirlthat they stole contraband, lied, planted evidence, roughed up witnesses andkept a crash pad where they had sex with prostitutes. Perez admitted shootingan unarmed
46、 man, then framing him by planting a semiautomatic rifle near hisunconscious body and accusing him of attacking officers. Five Los Angelesprosecutors and a special police task force are reviewing hundreds of casesthat might have been compromised. More than 200 police departmentsupervisors and assist
47、ants are part of a board of inquiry expected to makerecommendations to Police Chief Bernard Parks as early as next week. Fivecriminal convictions that Perez and his partner obtained have beenoverturned, and more could follow, a spokeswoman for Garcetti said.On Wednesday, public defenders received a
48、list of more than 1 000cases involving eight law enforcement officers targeted in the probe. Eachmust be reviewed for possibly tainted testimony. If evidence is suspect,lawyers say, theyll argue for new trials or dismissal of charges. The courtscould be tied up for years. Adding to the morass, offic
49、ials expect anonslaught of civil law-suits against the police department from defendantswho were wrongly convicted. The first has been filed.“This is a tarnish on our badge,” says Officer Ted Hunt, president of theLos Angeles Police Protective League, which provides lawyers for accusedofficers. He c
50、autioned, however, against jumping to the conclusion thatpolice corruption is widespread. Only Perez has been proved guilty, he notes.“Other than this one tiny person who embarrassed all of us, LAPD coppersare honest and ethical, and they want to do the right thing,” Hunt adds.In September, Perez ad
