Mark your an swers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 poi nts)Passage 1The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the Peop

12、les Park that wereoccurri ng on campus. Some of these eve nts were give n n ati onal media coverage in the pressand on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obta ined from the n ews media. I could beg in to see eve nts of that time feed on n ewsco

13、verage. This also provided mewith somehealthy in sights into the distinctions between theserealities.Electronicmedia are having a greater impact on the peoples lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.Televisionand telepho ne com muni cati ons are linking

14、 people to a global village, or what one writer calls theelectronic city.Consider the information that television bringsinto your home every day. Con sider also the con tact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media exte nd your con scious ness and your con tact. For example, the v

15、ideocoverage of the 1989 San Fran cisco earthquake focused on“l(fā)ive action”such as the fires orthe rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage ofthe Iraqi Waralso developed an immediacy.CNN reported eve nts as they happe ned. This coverage was distribute

16、d worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed someperception of theserealities.In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wedn esdayeve ning in Los An geles, seem in gly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This eve nt wastriggered by the

17、 verdict （裁定） in the Rodney King beati ng. We are now in an age where the publiccan have access to information that enables it to make its own judgme nts, and most people, whohad see n the video of this beat ing, could not understand how the jury（陪審團）was able to acquit（宣布無罪）the policemeninvo Ived. M

18、edia coverage of eve nts as they occur also provides powerful feedback that in fluenceseve nts. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on thatWedn esday ni ght in Los An geles. By Friday ni ght the public got to see Rodney King ontelevision pleading,“Can we all get along?”By Saturday, televisio

19、n seemedto provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The televisionshowedthousands of people marching with banners and cleaningtools. Because of that, many more people turned out to join the peaceful eve nt they saw unfolding（展開）on television. The real heal

20、ing, of course, will take muchIon ger, but electr onic media will con ti nue to be a part of that process.（455words）21.

25、harge a fee for each patie nt visit are the foundation ofmedical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a con tract relati on ship with one ormore hospitals in the com muni ty. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually chargespatients according to the number of days they

26、stay and the facilities (operati ng room, tests, medicin es) that they use. Somehospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans hospitals, afederal gover nment age ncy. Others are operated by religious order or other non profit.Somemedical doctors are on salary groups. Salaried physi

27、cia ns mayworkas hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medicalschools, be hired by corporatio ns to care for their workers or work for the federal gover nmen tsPublic Health Service.Physicia ns are among the best paid professi on als in the Un ited

28、States. In the1980s, it was not un commorfor medical doctors to earn in comes of more tha n$ 100,000a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians listmanyreasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work.One reas on is the long and expe nsi

29、ve preparati on required to become a physicia n in the UnitedStates. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions-Prospective physicia ns the n atte nd medical school for four years. Tuiti on alone can exce

30、ed $10,000 a year. By the time they have obta ined their medical degrees, many young physicians aredeeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency in a hospital, the first year as anapprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice

31、is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide toestablish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buyingequipment. These physicians also take care of each others patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of resp

32、onsibility.Manymedical procedures, even quite routine ones invoIve risk. It is understandable that physicianswant to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean thedifferenee between life and death.(382)26.

37、some countries where racial prejudice is acute,violenee has so come tobe take n for gran ted as a means of sol ving differe nces,that it is not eve nquestioned. There are countries where the white manimposes his rule by brute force；there arecoun tries where the black man protests by setti ng fire to

38、 cities and by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respectsappear to be reas on able men , get up and calmly argue in favor of viole nee as ifit were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening,whatreally fills you with despair,is the realiza

39、tion that when it comesto the crunch,we have made noactual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties in stead of war-pa int,but our in sti nets remain basically un cha nged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race,that tediousdocumentation of violenee,has taughtus absolutely nothing.

40、 Wehave still not learnt that violenee never solves a problem but makes itmore acute. The sheer horror,the bloodshed,the suffering meannothing. No solutionever comes to light the morning after when we dismallyeon template the smok ing ruins and won der what hit us.The truly reas on able menwho know

41、where the soluti ons lie are finding it harder and herderto get a heari ng. They are despised,mistrusted and eve n persecuted bytheir own kind because they advocate such appare ntly outrageous things as lawen forceme nt. If half the en ergy that goes into viole nt acts were put to good use,if our ef

42、forts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos,at improvingliving-standards and providing education and employment for all,we would havegone a long way to arriv ing at a solutio n. Our stre ngth is sapped by hav ing to mopup the mess that violenee leaves in its wake. In a well-directed eff

43、ort,it would not be impossibleto fulfill the ideals of a stable social program. The ben efitsthat can be derived from constructivesolutions are everywhere apparent in the worldaround us. Genuine and last ing solutio ns are always possible,provid ing we workwithin the framework of the law.Before we c

44、an eve n beg in to con template peaceful co-existe nee betwee n theraces,we must appreciate each others problems. And to do this,we must learnabout them：it is a simple exercise in com muni cati on , in excha nging in formati on.“Talk,talk,talk，” the advocates of violenee say,“all you ever do is talk

45、,and we are none the wiser.”Its rather like the story of the famous barrister who pain stak in glyexpla ined his case to the judge. After liste ning to a len gthy argume nt the judge compla ined thatafter all this talk,he was none the wiser.“Possible,my lord，” the barrister replied,“none the wiser,b

46、ut surely farbetter in formed.”Kno wledge is the n ecessary prerequisite to wisdom：the kno wledge thatviole nee creates the evils it prete nds to solve.31.

Mopp ing up the viole nt mess.Passage 4In 1985 whe n a Japa n Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its preside nt, YasumotoTakagi, called each victims family to apologize, and the

50、n promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sold sen sitive military tech no logy to the former Soviet Union, thechairma n of Toshiba gave up his post.These executiveactions,which Toshiba calls“the highest form ofapology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned

51、after the JAL crash,which may have bee n caused by a faulty Boe ing repair.The differe nee betwee n the two bus in ess cultures cen ters around differe ntdefinitions of delegation.While US executives give both responsibilityandauthority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority

52、-theresp on sibility is still their. Although the subsidiary that sold the sen sitive tech no logy to theSoviets had its own man ageme nt, the Toshiba top executives said they“must take personalresponsibilityfor not creating an atmosphere throughoutthe Toshiba group that would make such activity unt

53、hinkable,even in anin depe nden tly run subsidiary.”Such accepta nee of com mun ity resp on sibilityis not unique to bus in esses inJapan. School principals in Japan have resigned whentheir students committed major crimesafter school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often ac

54、cept primaryresponsibilityin other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets in to fi nan cial trouble. Such pers onal sacrifices, eve n if they are largely symbolic, help tocreate the sense of com munity and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japa nese way of doingbus in ess.H

55、arvard Bus in ess School professor George Lodge calls the ritualaccepta neeof blame“almost a feudal（圭寸建的）way of purging（清除）the community of dishonor, ” andto some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which bothbus in ess and gover nmen tal leaders seem particu

56、larly good at evad ing resp on sibility, manyUS man agers would probably welcome an in fusi on（灌輸）of the Japanese , US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salariesbefore they asked their workers to take pay cuts, n egotiati ons would probably take on a verydiffere nt character.
