You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts. 图片第21题According to the passage, which of the following is one of the factors that tend to promote social change?A.Advanced technology.B.Different points of view.C.Less emotional people.D.Joint interest.第22题The expression “greater tolerance” in Pam. 1 refers to _________.A.“quicker adaptation to changing circumstances”B.“inclination to accept social change”C.“greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas”D.“more respect for different beliefs and behavior”第23题The following statements are true EXCEPT _______.A.social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of societyB.disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social changeC.social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were youngD.social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society第24题Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because______.A.they are so accustomed to their conditions that they think it unnecessary to changeB.their identical needs can be easily satisfiedC.they are easy to pleaseD.they are less quarrelsome第25题The passage mainly discusses ________.A.the necessity of social changeB.two types of societiesC.certain factors that hinder social changeD.certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occur上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey (曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player than threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in nonnationalteams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism. 图片第26题From the author’s point of view, recent Olympic Games have ________.A.contributed to false national prideB.created goodwill between nationsC.resulted in more misunderstanding and hatredD.hardly promoted friendship between countries第27题By saying “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”, the manager really meant that ________.A.the IHF was irresponsibleB.the Hockey game and IHF are ruined by the unfair decisionC.the IHF should be reorganizedD.the game and the IHF are not perfect第28题The basketball example implies that ________.A.the decision to prolong the game was wrongB.the American team was right in rejecting the silver medalsC.excessive patriotism was displayed in the incidentD.the appeal jury was too hesitant in decision-making第29题The two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 are used to illustrate ________.A.that the competitive nature of the games discourages international friendshipB.how false national pride led to unhappy incidents in international gamesC.sportsmen have to accept the decision made by refereesD.that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games第30题We may conclude from the passage that ________.A.Athletes should compete as individualspetition should not be encouragedC.The organization of the Olympic Games needs improvingD.international contests tend to creat misunderstanding上一题下一题(31~35/共20题)Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.We are incredibly heedless (不注意的) in the formation of our beliefs, but find ourselves filled with a fervent(强烈的) passion for them when anyone challenges or questions them. Obviously, it is not that the ideas themselves are dear to us, but rather that our self-esteem is threatened. We are by nature stubbornly pledged to defend our own from attack, whether it is our person, our family, our property, or our opinion. A United States senator once remarked to a friend of mine that God Almighty could not make him change his mind on our Latin-American policy. Wemay surrender, but we rarely confess ourselves conquered. In the intellectual world, at least, peace is without victory.Few of us take the pains to study the origins of our cherished beliefs, although we have a natural dislike for so doing. We like to continue believing what we have been accustomed to accepting as true, and the resentment aroused when doubt is cast upon our assumptions leads us to seeking every manner of excuse for clinging to them. The result is that most of so-called reasoning consists of finding arguments for continuing to believe as we already do.This natural and loyal support of our beliefs —this process of finding “good reasons” t o justify our routine beliefs —is known to modern psychologists as “rationalization”, clearly a new name for a very ancient thing. Our good reasons ordinarily have no value in promoting honest enlightenment, because, no matter how solemnly they may be arranged, they are at bottom the result of personal preference or prejudice, and not of an honest desire to seek or accept new knowledge.In our dreams, we are frequently engaged in self-justification, for we cannot bear to think ourselves wrong；yet we have constant illustrations of our weaknesses and mistakes. So we spend much time finding fault with circumstances and the conduct of others, and shifting onto them with great skill the burden of our own failures and disappointments. Rationalization is the self-exculpation whichoccurs when we feel ourselves, or our group, accused of misunderstanding or error. 图片第31题The author cites the senator’s remark in order to show that _________.A.the senator is extremely stubbornB.self-esteem is dear to us allC.people should be more open-mindedD.one is reluctant to admit his weakness第32题Rationalization is likely to occur when _______.A.our weaknesses are exposedB.our assumptions turn out to be rationalC.we are absorbing new ideasD.we are wronged by others第33题The author indicates in the passage that _______.A.we should not care too much about our beliefsB.it is by no means easy to defend one’s self-esteemC.it is worthwhile to find good reasons for our assumptionsD.it is human nature to defend his beliefs第34题From the context, the word “self-exculpation” most probably means“______”.A.self-justificationB.self-esteemC.self-examinationD.self-expression第35题Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A.In the intellectual field, success belongs to those who defend their own beliefs.B.One may solemnly arrange his reasons for the sake of truth.C.A new idea may not be accepted because of people’ routine beliefs.D.When accused of error, one may shift his responsibilities onto others.上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.People in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in the nation's economy would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification (多样化) and a gradual shift in the nation's labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits.Although the birth rate continued to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the population roughly doubled every generation during the rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and social mobility —downward as well as upward-touched almost everyone. Local studies indicate that nearly three quarters of the population — in the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast, and in the restless rural countries of the West —changed their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written, “Social atomization affected every segment of society,” and it seemed to many people that “all the recognized values of o rderly civilization were gradually being eroded.”Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the nineteenth century had special implications for women because these changes tended to magnify social distinctions. As the roles men and women played in society became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earlier functions and the home came to serve as a refuge of tranqui11ity(安宁) and order. As the size of families decreased, the roles of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before. In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as the custodians(看守人) of courtesy and culture. The intimacy of marriage that was common in earlier periods was rent, and a gulf that at times seemed unbridgeable was created between husbands and wives. 图片第36题The passage mainly deals with _____.A.the economic development of the United States in the eighteenth centuryB.ways in which economic development led to social change in the United StatesC.population growth in the western United StatesD.the increasing availability of industrial jobs for women in the United StatesAccording to the passage, the economy of the United States between 1820 and 1900 was ______.A.stableB.expandingC.in sharp declineD.disorganized第38题As the nineteenth century progressed, the people of the United States _______.A.emigrated to other countriesB.often settled in the WestC.often changed their residenceD.had a higher rate of birth than ever before第39题The society about which David Donald wrote is ________.A.a highly conservative society that was resistant to new ideasB.a society that was undergoing fundamental changeC.a society that had been gradually changing since the early 1700’sD.a society that was starting permanent settlements第40题The implication of economic development for a family was that ________.A.it would be more stableB.it would be less disturbed by economic problemsC.the husband and the wife were more likely to live together in harmonyD.the husband and the wife would not be as intimate with each other as before上一题下一题(1/30)Part ⅢVocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
