Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found

27、that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows. Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solution

28、s to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42 More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design

29、was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a products function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46

30、. For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with th

31、e German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our naturesight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toot

32、hpaste onto our brush. III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the a

33、rt of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work. In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many manager

34、s still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers. Different cultures have different ways of 55 people.

35、Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision- makingall members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate

36、such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot. A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own in

37、itiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers a

38、nd employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable u

39、nder the new organization, rather than less. Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the am

40、ount of time they spend on them. 51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike 52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme 53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise 54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above 55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging 56. A. refer B. c

41、ontribute C. object D. apply 57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression 58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male 59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing 60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating 61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared 62. A. economicall

A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractiveness Section B Direction：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several q

43、uestions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Love

44、d Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “Theres one I really like and youll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wond

45、ered. The poem began: She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered where they lay, 散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重Ill miss her harum-scarum noise, 莽撞的And look in vain for scattered toys. 徒劳地And Ill be sad. A terrib

46、le sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“Its you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parents affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terribl

47、e I burst out crying. “Whats wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I dont want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, its okay. Youre not growing up anytime soon.
