A
What are the specific traits that will assist executives to climb the ladder of success? Opinions vary widely. Given almost equal qualifications and circumstances, some claim the success factor is largely a matter of luck—being in the right place at the right time. Others speak of an almost crazy devotion to work, combined with a degree of ruthlessness. One“expert” believes that it’s undoubtedly a matter of how much education your mother had.
To make it big, executives must possess four basic skills:
First, drive（动力）. Business success takes an unusual amount of energy. A successful executive — almost by definition—is a striver. He will get tense when he is not striving.
Second, people sense. Some say being able to judge people is more important than a high IQ. The skill can be instinctual（本能旳）, but in most cases it is painstakingly learned.
Third, communications ability. Different executives make themselves understood in different ways, Some transmit ideas best face to face; others are masters of the telephone call; still others are persuasive writers. One way or another, they all communicate clearly.
Fourth, calm under pressure. No businessman will get very far if he chokes up.
56.Some people claim that besides hard work, the success also requires .
A.equal qualifications B.specific traits C.much education D.a degree of cruelty

D.Qualifications and circumstances for climbing the ladder.
B
The newspaper must provide for the reader the facts, pure, unprejudiced（无偏见旳）, objectively selected facts. But in these days the complex news it must provide more; it must supply explanation, the meaning of the facts. This is the most important assignment facing American journalism—to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing（with the possible exception of society news）as ”local” news, because any event in the international area has local reaction（反应）in the financial market, political circles, indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you consider giving an explanation, you are entering dangerous water, the swirling tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
The opponents（反对者）of explanation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine himself to the ”facts”. This insistence raises two questions; What are the facts? And are the bare facts enough? As for the first question, consider how a so-called ”factual” story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten that he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts shall constitute the beginning of the article. (this is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph) This is Judgment Number Two. Then. The night editor decides whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large influence, or on page twenty-four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three.
Thus in the show of a so-called ”factual” of ”objective” story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments mot at all unlike those involved in explanation, in which reporter and editor, calling upon their research resources（资源）, their general background, and their “news neutralism”（新闻中性主义）, arrive at a conclusion as to the importance of the news.
The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its explanation, are both objective rather than subjective processes—as objective, that is, as any human being can be. (Note in passing; even though complete objectivity can never be achieved, nevertheless the ideal must always be the light in the murky news channels) If an editor is intern on giving a prejudiced view of the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by explanation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the play he gives a story promoting it to page one or putting it on page thirty.
60.The best title for this passage is .
A.Function of the Night Editor B.Explaining the News.
C.Subjective versus（对）Objective Processes D.Choosing Facts

A.in writing a factual story, the writer must use judgment

B.most readers don’t advance beyond the first paragraph
C.it is the best way to write according to the schools of journalism

A.explained in detail B.edited properly C.objectively reported D.impartial（不偏袒旳）
C
Americans are less inclined to get married than at any time in US history, posing social and public-policy dilemmas（困境）and the threatening to dissolve the “glue” that connects fathers to their children, experts say.
A report released by the US National Marriage Project found “a rather weakening of the institution（制度）of marriage” in America. The researchers said the US marriage rate has never been lower, births to unmarried women have skyrocketed, the divorce rate remains high and Americans’ marriages are less happy than in the past.
“There is no known society that has got along without marriage and has done a decent（体面旳）job in rearing and sponsoring the next generation,” said Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, US National Marriage Project co-director.
The crumbling（瓦解）of the institution of marriage should not be viewed as a kind social trend with no costs to society at large, added the project’s other co-director, David Popenoe.
US government statistics cited（援引）in the Rutgers report detail a crisis（危机）in marriage whose origins can be traced back about 40 years. The report, citing census data（调查记录）,said the marriage rate has quickly reduced by a third since 1960. It said there were about 73 marriages per 1,000 unmarried women aged 15 and up in 1960. In 1996, the last year for which such figures were available, the rate was about 49 per 1,000.
Popenoe said the US marriage rate now has dropped below a previous historic low recorded at the turn of the century. He said several factors have something to do with the trend. One is that Americans are delaying marriage until they are older.
In 1960, the median age for first marriages was 20 for women and 23 for men. In 1997, with many college-educated Americans delaying marriage until their 30s, the median age rose to 25 for women and 27 for men, the report said.
“The later the marriage, by and large, the lower the (overall) marriage rate in the long run. In other words, people delay too long and then they decide not to marry after a while,” Popenoe said.
In addition, many American women, particularly black women, are giving birth and raising children without getting married.
In 1960,5.3 percent of all US babies were born to unwed mothers, according to government statistics. In 1997,32 percent of all babies were born to unmarried women－and a startling 69 percent of black babies had unwed mothers.
The percentage of US children living without their father present also has ballooned. In 1960, nine percent of children lived in a single－parent household. Last year, 28 percent of all children and 55 percent of all black children lived with a single parent. Children in single－parent households overwhelmingly live with their mothers, with fathers absent.
64.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Children in Single－Parent Families.
B.Experts’ Prediction of Birthrate for the Next Decade.
C.Babies Born out of Wedlock Presents Problems.
D.Americans Seem Less Inclined to Get Married Nowadays.
65.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Experts fear that the low marriage rate will pose grave social problems.
B.Researchers have found out that divorce rate has skyrocketed lately.
C.The current marriage rate is the lowest ever since the turn of the century.
D.Experts believe that delay in marriage will more likely make a person dismiss the idea of getting married.
66.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “inclined”?
A.likely. B.encouraged. C.happy. D.optimistic.
67.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the figures provided in the passage?
A.In the United States, more couples are experiencing marital crises than there used to be in the 1970s.
B.The later the first marriage, the happier the marriage will be.
C.More and more people are giving birth to children without getting married.
D.More children are living in a single－parent household than there used to be.

The human brain contains ten thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human－like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble（装配）a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render（致使）it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering（变化）the architecture but that two will happen.
I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon will arise first to rival（媲美）and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their ow
