In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious

27、 causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride. “American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, has learnt to be more quick-witted,” according to Richard Cavanagh, executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government

28、. “It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,” says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington, DC. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as “a golden age of

29、 business management in the United States.”51.

The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S. economy in the 1990s ca

32、n be attributed to the .A turning of the business cycleB restructuring of industryC improved business managementD success in educationPassage 255.

36、poetry may be even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right it can hardly be classed as Literature.This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. Co

37、nsequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change. This speeding up of life, says the Futurist, requires a new form of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern stress. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unham

38、pered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will.Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. But

39、 it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: “Pluff

40、! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms.”This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as Literature. All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expres

41、sion. The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed?59. This passage is mainly .A a survey of new approaches to artB a review of Futurist poetryC about merits of the Futurist movementD about laws and requirements of literature60.

44、vy of the United States and Europe. But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don&

45、#39;t know where they should go next.more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed.63. In the Westerners' eyes, the postwar Japan was .A under aimless developmentB a positive exampleC a rival to the WestD on the dec

48、vity.D Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking.66. The change in Japanese life-style is revealed in the fact that .AB the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the U.S.C the Japanese endure more than ever beforeD the Japanese appreciate their present lifePassage 5If ambition is to be w

49、ell regarded, the rewards of ambition wealth, distinction, control over one's destiny must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition's behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are the

50、mselves admired, the educated not least among them. In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. There is a

51、 heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped with the educated themselves riding on them.Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. Summer homes, European travel, BMWs the locations, place names and name

52、 brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. Instead, we are treated to fine hy

53、pocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own ch

54、ildren are enrolled in private schools. For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.”67. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if .AB it is rewarded with money, fame and powerC its goal

55、s are spiritual rather than materialD it is shared by the rich and the famous68.
