12、, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points) Text1 The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever”, at Sothebys in London on September 15th 2008 (see picture). All but two piece
13、s sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last hurrah. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy. The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising v
14、ertiginously since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firmdouble the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings
15、 together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the bail-out of the banks coincided with the loss of t
16、housands of jobs and the financial demise of many art-buying investors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sectorfor Chinese contemporary artthey were down by nearly 90% in the year
17、 to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses, Sothebys and Christies, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end
18、 of 1989, a move that started the most serious contraction in the market since the second world war. This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more volatile. But Edward Dolman, Christies chief executive, says: “Im pretty confident wer
19、e at the bottom.” What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christies revenues in the first half of 2009 were still h
20、igher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Dsdeath, debt and divorcestill deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not
21、have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return. 21.In the first paragraph,Damien Hirsts sale was referred to as “a last victory”because _-. A.the art market hadwitnessed a succession of victoryies B.the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids C.Beautiful Inside My H
22、ead Forever won over all masterpieces D.it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis 22.By saying “spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable”(Line 1-2,Para.3),the author suggests that_ . A . collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctions B .people stoppe
23、d every kind of spending and stayed away from galleries C.art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extent D .works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying 23.Which of the following statements is NOT ture? A .Sales of contemporary art fell dramaticall
24、y from 2007to 2008. B.The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum. C.The market generally went downward in various ways. D.Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come. 24.The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are _ A.auction houses favorites B.contemporary trends C.fa
25、ctors promoting artwork circulation D.styles representing impressionists 25.The most appropriate title for this text could be _ A.Fluctuation of Art Prices B.Up-to-date Art Auctions C.Art Market in Decline D.Shifted Interest in Arts Text2 I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia liv
26、ing room - a womens group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative frequently offering ideas and anecdotes while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their
27、 husbands dont talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said Shes the talker in our family. The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. Its true he explained. When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didnt keep the conversation goin
28、g wed spend the whole evening in silence. This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in
29、the late 70s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed - but only a few of the men - gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent that amounts to millions of c
30、ases in the United States every year - a virtual epidemic of failed conversation. In my own research complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their sha
31、re of daily life-support work like cleaning cooking social arrangements and errands. Instead they focused on communication: He doesnt listen to me He doesnt talk to me. I found as Hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.
