单项选择题
1、Questions are based on the following passage.
  Mobility of individual members and family groups tends to split up family relationships. Occasionally the movement of a family away from a situation which has been the source of conflict results in greater family organization, but on the whole, mobility is disorganizing.
  Individuals and families are involved in three types of mobility : movement in space, movement up or down in social status, and the movement of ideas. These are termed respectively spatial(空间的), vertical, and ideational ( 概念的) mobility.
  A great increase in spatial mobility has gone along with improvements in rail and water transportation, the invention and use of the automobile, and the availability of airplane passenger service. Spatial mobility results in a decline in the importance of the traditional home with its emphasis on family continuity and stability. Even more important is the fact that spatial mobility permits some members of a family to come in contact with and possibly adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking different from those held by other family members.The presence of different attitudes, values, and ways of thinking within a family may, and often does, result in conflict and family disorganization.Potential disorganization is present in those families in which the husband, wife, and children are spatially separated over a long period, or are living together but see each other only briefly because of different work schedules.
  One index of the increase in vertical mobility is the great increase in the proportion of sons, and to some extent daughters, who engage in occupations other than those of the parents. Another index of vertical mobility is the degree of intermarriage between social classes. This occurs almost exclusively between classes which are adjacent (邻近的) to each other. Engaging in a different occupation, or intermarriage, like spatial mobility, allows one to come in contact with ways of behavior different from those of the parental home, and tends to separate parents and their children.
  The increase in ideational mobility is measured by the increase in publications, such as news- papers, magazines, and books, the increase in the percentage of the population owning radios, and the increase in television sets. All these tend to introduce new ideas into the home. When individual family members are exposed to and adopt the new ideas, the tendency is for conflict to arise and for those in conflict to become psychologically separated from each other.What the passage tells us can be summarized by the statement that________
A.potential disorganization is present in the American family
B.family disorganization is more or less the result of mobility
C.the movement of a family is one of the factors in raising its social status
D.social development results in a decline in the importance of traditional families

The Magician
  The revolution that Steve Jobs led is only just beginning.
  When it came to putting on a show,nobody else in the computer industry,or any other industry for that matter,could match Steve Jobs.His product launches,at which he would stand alone on a black stage and produce as if by magic an“incredible”new electronic gadget(小器具)in front of an amazed crowd,were the peril,rmances of a master showman.All computers do is fetch and work with numbers,he once exp lained,but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be magic”.Mr.Jobs,who died recently aged 56,spenthis life packaging that magic into elegantly designed,easy-to-use products.
  The reaction to his death,with people leaving candles and flowers outside Apple stores and politicians singing praises on the internet,is proof that Mr.Jobs had become something much more significant than just a clever money-maker.He stood out in three ways-as a technologist,as a corporate(公司的)leader and as somebody who was able to make people love what had previously been impersonal,functional gadgets.Strangely,it is this last quality that may have the deepest effect on the way people live.The era of personal technology is in many ways just beginning.
  As a technologist,Mr.Jobs was different because he was not an engineer-and that was his great strength.Instead he was keenly interested in product design and aesthetics(关学),and in making advanced technology simple to use.He repeatedly took an existing but half-formed idea-the mouse-driven computer,the digital music player,the smart phone,the tablet computer(平板电脑)-and showed the rest of the industry how to do it properly.Rival firms competed with each other to follow where he led. In the process he brought about great changes in computing,music,telecoms and the news business that were painful for existing firms but welcomed by millions of consumers.
Within the wider business world,a man who liked to see himself as fl hippy(嬉皮士),permanently in rev(It against big companies,ended up being hailed by many of those corporate giants as one of the greatest chief executives of his time.That was partly due to his talents:showmanship,strategic vision,an astonishing attention to detail and,a dictatorial management style which many bosses must have envied,But most of all it was the extraordinary trajectory(轨迹)of his life.His fall from grace in the 1980s followed by his return to Apple in l 996 after a period in the wilderness,is an inspiration to any business sperson whose career has taken a turn for the worse.The way in which Mr.Jobs revived the failing company he had co—founded and turned it into the world’s biggest tech firm (bigger even thanBill Gates’sMicrosoft,the company that had outsmarted Apple so-dramatically in the l980s),sounds like something from a Hollywood movie.
  But what was perhaps most astonishing about Mr.Jobs was the absolute loyalty he managed to inspire in customers.Many Apple users feel themselves to be part of a community,with Mr.Jobs as its leader.And there was indeed a personal link.Apple’s products were designed to accord with the boss,s tastes and to meet his extremely high standards.Every iPhone or MacBook has his fingerprints all over it.H is great achievement was to combine an emotional spark with computer technology,and make the resulting product feel personal.And that is what put Mr.Jobs on the right side of history,as technological innovation(创新)has moved into consumer electronics over the past decade.
  As our special report in this issue(printed before Mr.Jobs’s death)explains,innovation used to spill over from military and corporate laboratories to the consumer market,but lately this process has gone into reverse.Many people’s homes now have more powerful,and more flexible,devices than their offices do;consumer gadgets and online services are smarter and easier to use than most companies’ systems.Familiar consumer products are being adopted by businesses,government and the armed forces.Companies are employing in.house versions of Facebook and creating their own“app stores”to deliver software to employees.Doctors use tablet computers for their work in hospitals.Meanwhile,the number of consumers hungry for such gadgets continues to swell.Apple’s products are now being snapped up in Delhi and Dalian just as in Dublin and Dallas.
  Mr.Jobs had a reputation as a control freak(怪人),and his critics complained that the products and systems he designed were closed and inflexible,in the name of greater ease of use.Yet he also empowered millions of people by giving them access to cutting-edge technology. His insistence onputting users first,and focusing on elegance and simplicity,has become deep。rooted in his own company,and is spreading to rival firms too.It is no longer just at Apple that designers ask:“What would Steve Jobs do?”
  The gap between Apple and other tech firms is now likely to narrow.This week’s announcement of a new iPhone by a management team led by Tim Cook,who replaced Mr.Jobs as chief executive in August,was generally regarded as competent but uninspiring.Without Mr.Jobs to shower his star dust on the event,it felt like just,another product launch from just another technology firm. At the recent unveiling of a tablet computer by Jeff Bezos of Amazon,whose company is doing the best Job of following Apple’s lead in combining hardware,software,content and services in an easy-to-use bundle,there were several attacks at Apple.But by doing his best to imitate Mr.Jobs,Mr.Bezos also.Flattered (抬举)him.WithMr.Jobs gone,Apple is just one of many technology firms trying to arouse his uncontrollable spirit in new products.
  Mr.Jobs was said by an engineer in the early years of Apple to emit a“reality distortion(扭曲)field”.such were his powers of persuasion.But in the end he created a reality of his own,channeling the magic of computing into products that reshaped entire industries.The man who said in his youth that he wanted to “put a ding in the universe” did just that.
We learn from the first paragraph that nobody could match Steve Jobs in_________.
A.intelligence
B.showmanship
C.magic power
D.persuasion skills
