二、2.

1.Personal interviewing is most effective when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area. Otherwise, the time and expense spent in travelling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economically impractical. Personal interviewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method.
  It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate in many cases, human errors may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewee as an invasion of privacy or threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondent"s statements, a certain amount of information lose results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully.
  In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untrue responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanation, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions or to interpret answers.

It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively big geographical area______.

A．personal interviewing is most effective
B．personal interviewing is economically impractical
C．personal interviewing is the only technique to get information
D．telephone interviewing may not be used

2.
Sometimes a researcher cannot get valid results because ______.

A．the information needed is too complex to be gathered
B．personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques
C．personal interviewing is not as effective as other research techniques
D．both interviewer and interviewee may make mistakes during the interviewing

3.
In the second paragraph, the phrase " an invasion of privacy" most probably means

A．a(chǎn)n unpleasant conversation
B．a(chǎn) challenge to interviewee"s professional skills
C．a(chǎn)n interference with interviewee"s personal affairs
D．a(chǎn)n interference with interviewee"s hobby

4.
In the first sentence of the last paragraph, the pronoun"this"refers to______.

A．survey
B．question
C．a(chǎn)nswering
D．personal interviewing

5.

7.My father"s reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite :" You won"t catch me putting my money in there!" he declared. "Not in that glass box ! "
  Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.
  In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (實(shí)物) that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building"s design made it appear impenetrable, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money.
  But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe; he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.
  Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人們的說法) begins.

The main idea of this passage is that______.

A．money is not as valuable as it was in the past
B．changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks
C．the architectural style. of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank
D．prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable

8.
How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?

A．The former thinks more of money than the latter.
B．The younger generation values money more than the older generation.
C．Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.
D．To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter the means of producing more money.

9.
The word" tangible" (sentence 2, Paragraph 4) refers to something ______.

A．that is precious
B．that is usable
C．that can be touched
D．that can be reproduced

10.
According to this passage, a modern banker should be______.

A．a(chǎn)mbitious and friendly

13.The first hotels were very different from today"s hotels. They were small inns built along the road. Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms.
  Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space for so many cars.
  People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists" problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.
  Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels, best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. ,
  Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts(近郊) of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.
