We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published

that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events

Is there any chance that Cardus’s criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect
seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern
readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he
specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong
retreat.

B21.It isindicatedinParagraphs1and2that

满分技巧2: 推断题,推多段看每段第一句。
A
22.NewspaperreviewsinEnglandbeforeWorldWarIIwerecharacterizedby

B选项的意思是随意的风格,随意的反义词是正式,和多元化没有

tempted”。但原文指的是“ these men",再
[D]Notallwritersarecapableofjournalisticwriting. 往前看一句,就会发现 these men指代的是

时间对比性文章主旨一般在现在。

…
p 关系副词when引导定语从句1⃣
英⽂报纸过去25 年间发⽣的所有变化中,影响最为深远的或许就是其艺术报道范围和严肃性已呈不可
遏⽌的衰落之势。
2⃣
对于 40 岁以下的普通读者⽽⾔,他们难以,甚⾄根本⽆法想象⼀个能在⼤多数⼤都市报纸上读到⾼质
量艺术评论的时代。然⽽20世纪出版的相当多的最具重要影响的评论⽂集⼤部分由报纸评论组成。若今
⽇再来问读这些⽂集,会惊叹于这样⼀个事实:⾥⾯这些⼴博精深的内容曾被认为适合刊登在⾯向⼤众发⾏
的⽇报上。
3⃣
我们与20世纪初⾄⼆战前夕英国的杂感式报纸评论就更是⽆缘了,当时,新⽤⽤纸价廉如⼟,⻛格独特的
艺术评论被看作是对刊登它的出版物的⼀种装饰。在那个遥远的年代,各⼤报纸的评论家们会对所报道的事
件撰写详尽⼊微的评论,这被视作理所当然。他们从事的是严肃的⼯作,⼈们信任,即便是那些以轻松活
泼的⽅式展现⾃⼰学问的评论家,如萧伯纳和欧内斯特• 红曼,也都清楚⾃⼰在做什么。这些⼈相信新闻写
作是他们的天职,并为⾃⼰的⽂章能发表在⽇报上⽽感到⾃豪。“能够拥有⾜够的智慧或⽂学天赋能尽职尽
责做好新闻写作⼯作本分的作家是如此之少”,纽曼写道,“以⾄⼿我不禁想把‘新闻写作’,定义成为‘没读者
的作家对有读者作家的蔑称’”。
4⃣
遗憾的是,这些评论家⼏乎被完全遗忘了,内维尔•卡达斯从1917年到1975年去世前不久,⼀直在为《曼
彻斯特卫报》撰写评论⽂章,可现在仅以板球⽐赛短评撰写⼈为⼈所知。但是,在他的⼀⽣之中,他也是英
国最优秀的古典⾳乐评论家之⼀,他同时还是⼀位⽂体家,如此之⼴受赞誉,以致于其《⾃传》(1947 年出
版)成为⼀本畅销书。1967年,他受封为爵⼠,是第⼀位享有如此殊荣的⾳乐评论家。然⽽现如今,他的著
作中只有⼀本仍在印⾏,他⼤量的乐评作品除了专业⼈⼠之外,⽆⼈知晓。
5⃣

卡达斯的评论还有再度盛⾏的可能吗?前景似乎⾮常澎茫。早在他去世前的很⻓⼀段时间,新闻业的品
味就已经改变。后现代的读者们⼏乎不再喜欢他所专⻓的极其华丽的维多利亚⼀爱德华时期⻛格的散⽂。
更何况,⾳乐评论的业余传统已经迅速⾛向衰落。【微信公众号:陈叨叨杂货铺】免费分享

1⃣
过去⼗年间,成千上万项专利被授予给了所谓的“商业⽅法”。亚⻢逊公司因其“⼀键式”在线⽀付系统获

克劳奇说,它“有撤销⼀整类专利的潜⼒”。
3⃣
对商业⽅法专利申请的限制也许是⼀次戏剧性的180度逆转,因为正是联邦巡回法院⾃⼰在1998年被称为
“道富银⾏案”的裁决中引⼊了此类专利,批准了⼀项共同基⾦资产筹集⽅法的专利。那项裁决导致了商业⽅
法专利申请卷宗的激增,起初是新兴⽹络公司试图对特定类型的在线交易占得专有权。后来,更多的⽼牌公司
竞相将此类专利归⼊其卷宗,哪怕只是作为⼀项防御性措施以防范可能先发制⼈的竞争对⼿。2005年,IBM 在

⽐尔斯基案涉及⼀项规避能源市场⻛险⽅法的专利申请。联邦巡回法院发布了⼀项不同寻常的指令,宣

In their recent work, however, some researchers have come up with the finding

that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.

it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who, according to the two-step-flow

colleagues directly. For a social epidemic to occur, however, each person so affected

莱布尼兹会上岸 整理
Building on this basic truth about interpersonal influence, the researchers studied
the dynamics of social influence by conducting thousands of computer simulations of
populations, manipulating a number of variables relating to people’s ability to
influence others and their tendency to be influenced. They found that the principal
requirement for what is called “global cascades” – the widespread propagation of
influence through networks – is the presence not of a few influentials but, rather, of a
criticalmassofeasilyinfluencedpeople.

4⃣
介绍研究发现,进一步驳斥“两级流动理论”:流行潮的形成必须靠
“多级传播”。
5⃣
莱布尼兹会上岸 整理
以计算机模拟结果展现全球流行潮形成的关键:不是极少数有影响力
人士,而是大量易受影响人士。1⃣
⻢尔科姆•格拉德威尔在其《引爆点》⼀书中提出,“社会流⾏潮”在很⼤程度上由极少数与众不同
的个⼈的⾏为所推动,这些⼈通常被称为“有影响⼒⼈⼠”,他们或⻅识⾮常⼴博、或很有说服⼒,或⼈
脉极⼴。这⼀观点虽直觉上令⼈信服,但未能解释观念实际上如何传播。
2⃣
有影响⼒⼈⼠的所谓重要性源于⼀个貌似合理、但很⼤程度上未经证实的被称作“两级流动传播”
的理论:信息从媒体流向有影响⼒⼈⼠,再从他们流向其他所有⼈。营销⼈员已经欣然接受这种两级流
动,因为该理论认为,他们只要能够找到有影响⼒⼈⼠并对其施加影响,这些精挑细选出来的⼈们就可
以为他们完成⼤部分⼯作。该理论似乎也解释了某些时式、品牌或地段突然出⼈意料地⼤受欢迎的原
因。在诺多此类情形中.粗略调查其原因会发现,的确有⼀⼩部分⼈在其他所有⼈留意之前,就率先穿
戴、推⼴或开发各类东⻄。这种联事证据与“只有某些特别的⼈才能推动潮流”的观点⾼度契合。
3⃣
然⽽,⼀些研究⼈员在近期研究中得出结论:有影响⼒⼈⼠对社会流⾏潮的影响远此⼈们通常认为
的要⼩得多。事实上•他们似乎根本不是(社会流⾏潮)所必需的。
4⃣
研究⼈员的观点基于对社会影响的⼀项简单观察:除了像奥普拉•溫弗瑞这样的个别名⼈,她的⾮
凡影响⼒主要是媒体影响⽽⾮⼈际彩响的作⽤即使是⼀个群体中最具影响⼒的⼈也根本不会与那么多
的⼈交往。⽽根据两级流动理论,恰恰是这些⾮名⼈有影响⼒⼈⼠通过直接影响他们的朋友和同事,推
动了社会流⾏潮。但是,⼀种社会流⾏潮要形成,每个这样受到有影响⼒⼈⼠影响的⼈都必须接着影响
⾃⼰的熟⼈,这些熟⼈⼜必须同样地影响他们的熟⼈,并依次影响下去:这些⼈中的每个⼈能得到多
少⼈关注与最初的有影响⼒⼈⼠并⽆多⼤关系。例如,假若此“⼈际影响⽹络”中与最初有影响⼒⼈上
仅相隔两个层级的⼈们表现出(对这种影响的〉⽆动于衷,那么变化的“瀑布流”就不会传播得太远,
或者影响很多⼈。

向银行和准则制定者分别提出建议。全文翻译
莱布尼兹会上岸 整理
1⃣
在公开场合,银⾏家们⼀直把遇到的麻烦归咎于⾃身。背地⾥,他们却⼀直将⽭头对准他⼈:会计准则制
定者。各家银⾏抱怨说,他们所制定的规则迫使⾃⼰报告巨额损失,这实在不公平。这些规则称,银⾏必须
根据第三⽅意愿买⼊的价格⽽不是管理者和监管机构期望它们售得的价格来评估部分资产。
2⃣
不幸的是,银⾏的游说现在似乎开始奏效了。细节或许⽆从知晓,但是对资本市场正常运作⾄关重要的准
则制定者的独⽴性正在遭受侵害。⽽且,除⾮银⾏以能够吸引买家的价格出售有毒资产,否则,复苏银⾏系
统将会⼗分困难。
3⃣
在与国会的两场激烈交锋之后,美国财务会计准则委员会(FASB) 匆匆修政了准则。这些修改赋予银⾏
在使⽤模型评估⾮流动资产时更多⾃由,在认定损益表上⻓期资产损失时更多灵活性。FASB 主席鲍伯•
赫茨强烈反对那些“质疑我们动机”的⼈然⽽,银⾏股票上涨了,⽽且这些修改增强了某游说团体容⽓谓
之的“管理层判断⼒的运⽤”。
4⃣
欧洲各国部⻓⽴刻强烈要求国际会计标准理事会(IASB)采取同样的做法。IASB表示不愿意在没有总体
規划的情况下就贸然⾏动,但当其今年晚些时侯完成准则重建时,将会⾯临巨⼤的屈服压⼒。欧盟委员会
成员查理•迈克⾥维警告 IASB 说,它“并⾮⽣活在政治真空中”,⽽是“处在现实世界”,⽽且欧洲迟早会
制定不同的规则。
5⃣
是银⾏的想法不切实际,它们的账⽬严重⾼估了资产。如今,银⾏辩称,市场价格夸⼤了损失,因为这
些价格⼤多反映的是市场暂时的流动性不⾜,⽽不是坏账可能达到的分量。真相在多年后⽅可得知。但是,
银⾏股票的交易价格低于其账⾯价值,这表明投资者持怀疑态度。另外,市场的萧条也在⼀定程度上反映
出银⾏的瘫痪。银⾏因害怕将损失计⼊账⽬⽽不愿出售资产,⽽同时⼜不愿意收购那些所谓的廉价资产。
6⃣
要想使银⾏体系重新运转,必须承认损失并对其做出处理。除⾮银⾏将有毒资产价格确定在买家觉得
有吸引⼒的⽔平上,否则美国全⾯收购有毒资产的新计划就不会起作⽤。健康的市场需耍独⽴甚⾄好战的
准则制定者FASB 和 IASB过去⼀直正是如此,例如,(他们)不顾特殊利益集团的强烈反对,对有关股票
期权和养⽼基⾦⽅⾯的(会计)准则进⾏了整顿。但是他们现在对批评者妥协,将由此招致做出更多让步的
