第二部分：閱讀理解（35分）

I. 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。（30分）

（A）

The Pygmalion Effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the expectation placed upon people， often children or students， the better they perform. How about the theory in the workplace？ Prof. Dov Eden from Tel Aviv University's Faculty of Management，conducted some experiments.

In one of Prof. Eden's experiments，he divided bank branch managers into two groups. One group of managers was told that their employees were preeminent; the other group was told nothing about their employees' performance potential.

When Prof. Eden analyzed performance results， he found a significant difference between the branches. There had been no pre-existing? differences? ?between? ?the? employees， but the branch managers，who were led to expect more， got more—their branches scored higher in terms of profitability （收益） and overall economic success.

His findings confirm that the “Pygmalion Effect” can be created among leaders and subordinates（下屬）. Subordinates get a 3-to-1 boost（增強） in their performance success rate if their leader expects more from them， says Prof. Eden.“Success” is determined by many related factors， such as completing a course，a performance rating on the job，or grades in a training program.

But “if a leader? ?has? ?high? ?expectations， it? doesn't? ?mean? that? a subordinate will perform three times as well，” Prof. Eden says. “It means that he or she will have a three times greater chance of being above-average.”

Study results indicate that when a manager expects a lot from an employee， the manager's leadership style changes and subsequently boosts the employee's self-confidence.

The Pygmalion research expands based on studies? of the “experimenter effect” in? the? 1960s， the notion that an investigator can unintentionally influence the outcome of an experiment in significant ways.

1. Prof. Eden's experiments prove that? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

A. high expectations can lead to good performance

B. managers' performance influences subordinates' behaviour

C. there's little difference between employees' potential

D. success in the workplace is mainly determined by profitability

2. From the text we can infer that? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

A. one's potential can only be stimulated under pressure

B. the Pygmalion Effect can be applied to different social fields

C. the managers should change their leadership styles frequently

D. the more expectation，the higher efficiency

3. The underlined word “preeminent” in the second paragraph means “? ? ? ? ? ? ?”.

A. outstanding? B. importantC. modest? D. prepared

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text？

A. Prof. Eden is not the first person to study the “Pygmalion Effect”.

B. A subordinate will perform three times as well if the manager has high expectations.

C. Proper leadership style change of managers can boost the employees' self-confidence.

D. The “Pygmalion Effect” is the further study of the “experimenter effect”.

（B）

Double Falsehood is a play written by Lewis Theobald and first performed in 1727. It was based mainly on another work co-written? by? William? Shakespeare more than a century earlier. Professor Brean Hammond of Nottingham University said the respected Arden Shakespeare publishers attributed it to Shakespeare and released it in print on March 22， 2010.

Its appearance， and the attribution to Shakespeare， is likely to arouse another round of scholarly debate. The? debate? is? over? what? the English-speaking world's? most? famous? and? influential playwriter wrote and what was falsely attributed to him. For Hammond， the publication of the play was the peak of years of research. “I started working on it in the 1980s and wrote a couple of articles on the play， ” he said.

Theobald always claimed his play was based on a lost version by Shakespeare that was in turn based on the story of Cardenio， taken from the novel Don Quixote， by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes. Hammond said modern scholarship had established that the early work， performed in 1613， was co-written by Shakespeare and John Fletcher. Theobald then largely re-worked and cut it， meaning the presence of three hands in the present version. “Shakespeare wrote most of the first half （of the original） and? Fletcher? wrote? most? of? the second half—you could detect a new hand from the style of writing， ” Hammond said.

Theobald's work， a story of love and betrayal， was popular with 18th-century audiences， but the writer was widely considered as a cheat for claiming he had used the words of Shakespeare. “The play has been rubbished in the past，” Hammond said. “It did have a successful theatrical run when it came out，but soon after people began asking questions and thought that it was not a single-author play by Shakespeare and we know that it's not.”

That interpretation became widely accepted and the play was widely accessible for the first time in nearly 300 years. “What's left in it now for the modern reader is Shakespeare's DNA，” Hammond concluded.

5. From Paragraph 1 we know that the play Double Falsehood? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

A. was created and directed by Lewis Theobald

B. was adapted from one of Shakespeare's works

C. was written by Shakespeare and another writer

D. was published by Professor Brean Hammond

6. Why has the publication of the play set off academic debate？

A. There has been a play falsely attributed to Shakespeare.

B. Shakespeare is the most famous and influential playwriter.

C. There have been a great number of researchers studying Shakespeare.

D. The Arden Shakespeare publishers made wrong judgements.

7. What can be concluded about Lewis Theobald from the text？

A. He was a popular playwriter in the 18th century.

B. He became famous by saying the play was Shakespeare's.

C. He was wrongly blamed for nearly 300 years.

D. He earned a lot of money from the play in spite of the debate.

8. The underlined sentence is the closest in meaning to “? ? ? ? ? ? ?”.

A. Shakespeare left his DNA to modern readers

B. Modern readers can see the work after studying Shakespeare's DNA

C. The play has been proven to be Shakespeare's after analysis of his DNA

D. Modern readers can still recognize the writing style of Shakespeare

（C）

Steven Spielberg was not a scholar， and his classmates teased him. Rather than read，? the kid really preferred running around with an? 8mm? camera， shooting home-made? movies， which? he showed to friends for a small fee.

In his first year of high school， he dropped out. But when his parents persuaded him to return， he was mistakenly? placed in? a? learning-disabled class， which lasted one month. Only when the family moved to another town did he land up in a more suitable high school， where he eventually graduated.

After being denied entrance into a traditional film-making school， Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965， he recalls， in one of those serendipitous moments， his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios， he met Chuck Silvers， an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.

He appeared the next day. Spielberg， dressed in a dark suit， carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in.

“For the entire summer，” Spielberg remembers， “I? dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and? writers， including Silvers， who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee， but winked at him. I even found an? office? that? wasn't? being? used， and? became? a? squatter （擅自占用他人房子的人）. I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory：? Steven Spielberg， Room 23C.”

It paid off for everyone. Ten years later， the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws， which took in $470 million， then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn't—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.

9. Why was Steven Spielberg laughed at by his classmates？

A. He was the youngest boy. B. He was too short for his age.

C. He liked to fight with other boys. D. He didn't care much about his lessons.

10. Why did Steven's friends pay him some money？

A. To watch his movies. B. To use his camera.

C. To look at his photos. D. To include them in the movie.

11. What did Steven Spielberg intend to do after graduating from high school？

A. Study English at a college. B. Become a newspaper editor.

C. Work for Universal Studios. D. Go to a traditional film-making school.

12. What could have changed Steven Spielberg's life？

A. Being dressed in a suit. B. Meeting Chuck Silvers.

C. Missing a film-making school. D. Working for Universal Studios.

What is a play？ Basically， it's a blueprint for a stage production. It's performed by actors and directed and designed by others. You've probably seen a play before， if not on stage， then on TV or at the cinema—many plays have been adapted for TV or films.

If you've ever glanced at the text of a play you'll see that it's pretty much all dialogue. Don't groan and think， “I can't write that much talking！” Remember that dialogue can be just like prose （散文）—there are tense sections where characters battle with each other and other times when the writing is poetic.

Starting your play

Characters—Start with the basics： their age and relationship to each other. You can make a list of these，known as the Cast of Characters. For yourself， you'll want to know what drives each of the characters： their ambitions， their fears， and threats to their happiness.

Setting—Where and when will your play take place？ Don't worry about drawing a set; leave that to the designers. All? you? need to worry about is giving your collaborators（合作者） what they need to know. This means the time period， items needed on stage（such as furniture， doorways， windows， etc.）， as well as the place in the world.

Stage directions—They? can? be? very? confusing? for both? novices? and? professionals. Stage directions are there to give the actors， designers， and directors a clue about what they actually see happening on stage. They're not for the audience， who will never get to read them.

An important thing to know is that stage directions are not narration. Not every action or attitude from your characters needs to be included. Neither does a description of everything on stage need to be included. Do include a basic setting description， an actor's entrance， exit and physical action that must be performed for the dialogue to make sense， and pauses in the dialogue. Do not include the tone of voice or hints for every line， and characters' thoughts or intentions.

Dear Mike，

This summer I will go to study at the London University， but I don't know how to adapt myself for the new life.

I hear that many freshmen are at loss what to do when they are in a new country. Feel lonely and homesick， they find it much harder to get use to the new culture， diet and climate. Most of them can't take well care of themselves in their everyday life. Beside，it is difficult to find a satisfied host. It is more difficult to fully understand what the teachers teach in class though they speak English all the time.

Could you tell me how to deal with these problem so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future？

Yours，

Li Hua
