27、the Pacific which people called the South Sea Isles.They dreamed of them as a tropical 46 of palmlined coral shores and drowsy sun.The 47 Pacific washes the shores of five continents,with its waters mingling in the southeast with the Atlantic Ocean and in the southwest with the Indian Ocean.It is no

30、sionDirections:Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked A,B,C and D.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Then mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points) Passage 1Only two animals have ent

31、ered the human household otherwise than as prisoners and become domesticated by other means than those of enforced servititude:the dog and the cat.Two things they have in common,namely,that both belong to the order of carnivores and both serve man in their capacity of hunters.In all other characteri

32、stics,above all in the manner of their association with man,they are as different as the night from the day.There is no domestic animal which has so rapidly altered its whole way of living,indeed its whole sphere of interests,that has become domestic in so true a sense as the dog:and there is no ani

33、mal that,in the course of its centuryold association with man,has altered so little as the cat.There is some truth in the assertion that the cat,with the exception of a few luxury breeds,such as Angoras,Persians and Siamese,is no domestic animal but a completely wild being.Maintaining its full indep

34、endence it has taken up its abode in the houses and outhouses of man,for the simple reason that there are more mice there than elsewhere.The whole charm of the dog lies in the depth of the friendship and the strength of the spiritual ties with which he has bound himself to man,but the appeal of the

35、cat lies in the very fact that she has formed no close bond with him,that she has the uncompromising independence of a tiger or a leopard while she is hunting in his stables and barns;that she still remain mysterious and remote when she is rubbing herself gently against the legs of her mistress or p

36、urring contentedly in front of the fire.The purring cat is,for me,a symbol of the heartside and the hidden security which it stands for.I should no more like to be without a cat in my home than to be without the dog that trots behind me in field or street.Since my earliest youth I have always had do

37、gs and cats about me.Businesslike friends have advised me to write a dogbook and a catbook separately,because doglovers often dislike cats and catlovers frequently abhor dogs.But I consider it the finest test of genuine love and understanding of animals if a person has sympathies for both these crea

38、tures,and can apreciate in each its own special virtue.Cats,according to the author, _ .A.are not domestic animals at allB.are fiercer than dogsC.are both meek and independentD.can sometimes be very hostile to peopleDogs and cats are similar in that _ .A.people can use them for huntingB.they are ass

39、ociated with man closelyC.they have the same way of livingD.they are equally liked by peopleWe can infer from the passage that the author _ .A.prefers dogs to catsB.prefers cats to dogsC.likes dogs as well as catsD.likes neither dogs nor catsThe passage concludes that _ .A.dogs are more domesticated

40、 than catsB.dogs are more lovable animals than catsC.though different,dogs and cats have their charmsD.both dogs and cats can be kept as pets in one house Passage 2A single status may have multiple roles attached to it, constituting a role set. Consider the status of a patient in a hospital. The sta

41、tus involves the sick role; another role as the peer of other patients; still another role as the “appreciative”receiver of the gifts and attention of friends and family members; one role as a consumer of newspapers, magazines, and other small items purchased from a hospital attendant; and a role as

42、 acquaintance of a number of friendly hospital personnel. Or consider your status as a family member. Your status includes a variety of roles, for example,parent and child, uncle, spouse, and cousin. Clearly, a role does not exist in a social vacuum; it is a bundle of activities that are connected w

43、ith the activities of other people. For this reason there can be no professors without students, no husbands without wives, no whites without nonwhites, and no lawyers without clients.Roles affect us as sets of norms that define our duties the actions others can legitimately insist that we perform,

44、and our right the actions we can legitimately insist that others perform. Every role has at least one reciprocal role attached to it; the rights of one role are the duties of the other role. As we have noted, we have a social niche for the sick. Sick people have rights our society says they do not h

45、ave to function in usual ways until they get well. But sick people also have the duty to get well and“not enjoy themselves too much.”The sick role also entails an appeal to another party the physician. The physician must perceive the patient as trying to get well this is the physician's right an

46、d the patient's duty. And the patient must see the doctor as sincere the patient's right and the physician's duty. It should come as no surprise that the quality of medical care falters when patient and physician role expectations break down.One way that people are linked in groups is th

47、rough networks of reciprocal roles. Role relationships tie us to one another because the rights of one end of the relationship are the duties of the other. People experience these stable relationships as social structure a hospital, a college, a family, a gang, an army, and so on.If your are a patie

48、nt, you take on all the following roles EXCEPT the role as _ .A.a friend of your fellow patientsB.a staff member of the hospitalC.the receiver of the treatmentD.a buyer of medicinesThe example of the family member in Paragraph one is used to convey the idea that _ .A.roles involve both duties and ri

49、ghts corresponding to themB.a role set forms a network of interdependenciesC.family roles are far more complex than they appearD.family members have more duties than patientsWhich of the following may be one of the doctor's duties?A.See to it that the patient gets well as soon as possibleB.Make

50、sure that the patient doesn't enjoy himself too muchC.Ask the patient to be cooperative in the treatmentD.Perceive the patient as eager to get wellA role is best defined in its relation to _ .A.another statusB.its obligationC.other rolesD.its importance Passage 3By the 1980s, according to intern

51、ational but admittedly inconsistent definitions of literacy, about seven out of ten adults in the world were considered literate. The increase in literacy from ancient times to the present has not been a story of unbroken progress. The ability of people within a given society to read and write has b

52、een influenced by a number of factors, including economic wellbeing, the availability of material to read, the amount of education available, and the basic matter of the usefulness of reading.Of these factors, usefulness has probably been the most decisive. In ancient societies, as people settled in

53、to stable patterns of agriculture and trade, it became useful for some of them to read and write in order to keep records, to transact business, and to measure amounts of land, animals, goods, materials, and produce. Since all economic aspects of a society were closely tied to the operations of gove

54、rnment, literacy became useful and even necessary for the keeping of records by officials. The responsibilities of citizenship led to a fairly high level of literacy in ancient Greece and Rome, but in addition to that, there also grew an appreciation of good literature, poetry, drama, history, and p

55、hilosophy.During the early Middle Ages, with the general breakdown of society in Europe and the decrease of commerce, literacy became largely confined to the church. But in the late Middle Ages, in the period of the Renaissance, the great expansion of commerce and banking led to a revival in literac

56、y for the same reason that had caused it to increase in the ancient world usefulness.With the invention of the printing press and inexpensive paper late in the 15th century there was for the first time a great availability of reading material for a much greater number of people. Religious reformers

57、were among the first to utilize the situation, quickly getting translations of the Bible and educational tracts and booklets into the hands of many people.The broadened religious enlightenment that resulted was followed in later centuries by a political one. Political theorists who favored doctrines

58、 promoting the natural rights of man called for an attack upon illiteracy. Political revolutions, particularly in the United States and France, helped inaugurate an era in which all classes were called upon to become informed on public policy for their own welfare. Against this political background there emerged the movement for universal popular education. Literacy came to be understood as a means wh
