Politicians may tackle polluters while scientists do battle with carbon emissions. But the most pervasive problem is less obvious: our own behavior. We get distracted before we can turn down the heating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbour's trip to India. Ultimately, we can't be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunately for the planet, social science and behavioural economics may be able to do that for us.BDespite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by the Pew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent of participants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondents ranked it last on a list of priorities.CThis inconsistency largely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. "When we can't actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defence mechanisms," says Tom Crompton, changestrategist for the environmental organization Word Wide Fund for Nature.DPart of the fault lies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact. "We worry most about now because if we don't survive for the next minute, we're not going to be around in ten years' time," says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre for Research on Environmental Decision at Columbia University in New York. If the Thames for Research on Environmental Decision at Columbia University in NewYork. If the Thams were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners wound face up to the problem of emissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks-and benefits-associated with issues that lie some way ahead.EMatthew Rushworth, of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, sees this in his lab every day. "One of the ways in which all agents seem to make decisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going to be further away in the future," he says. "This is a very sensible way for an animal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful for humans for thousands of years."F Not any longer. By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate changes, it could well be too late. And it we're not going to make rational decisions about the future, others may have to help us to do so.G Few political libraries are without a copy of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health. Wealth and Happiness, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions-such as saving more in our pension plans-by changing the default options. Professor Weber believes that environmental policy can make use of similar tactics. If, for example, building codes included green construction guidelines, most developers would too lazy to challenge them.H Defaults are certainly part of the solution. But social scientists are most concerned about crafting messages that exploit our group mentality心态. "We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change." says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich. "It is actually about what their peers think of them, what their social norms are, what is seen as desirable in society." In other words, our inner caveman is continually looking over his shoulder to see what the rest of the tribe are up to.I The passive attitude we have to climate change as individuals can be altered by continuing us in-and measuring us against-our peer group. "Social norms are primitive and elemental," says Dr.Robert Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. "Birds flock together, fish school together, cattle herd together…… just perceiving norms is enough to cause people to adjust their behavior in the direction of the crowd."J These norms can take us beyond good intensions. Caldini conducted a study in San Diego in which coat hangers bearing messages about saving energy were hung on people's doors. Some of the messages mentioned the environment, some financial savings, others social responsibility. But it was the ones that mentioned the actions of neighbours that drove down power use.K Other studies show that simply providing the facility for people to compare their energy use with the local average is enough to cause them to modify their behaviour. The Conservatives plan to adopt this strategy by making utility companies print the average local electricity and gas usage on people's bills.L Social science can also teach politicians how to avoid our collective capacity for self-destructive behavior. Environmental campaigns that tell us how many people drive SUVs unwittingly不经意地imply that this behavior is widespread and thus permissible. Cialdini recommends some careful framing of the message. "Instead of normalizing the undesirable buys yet another SUV, it reduces our ability to be energy-independent."M Tapping into how we already see ourselves is crucial. The most successful environmental strategy will marry the green message to our own sense of identify. Take your average trade union member, chances are they will be politically motivated and be used to collective action-much like Erica Gregory.A retired member of the Public and Commercial Services Union, she is setting up one of 1,100 action groups with the support of Climate Solidarity, a two-year environmental campaign aimed at trade unionists.N Erica is proof that a great-grandmother can help to lead the revolution if you get the psychology right-in this case, by matching her enthusiasm for the environment with a fondness for organizing groups. "I think it's a terrific idea," she says of the campaign. "The union backing it makes members think there must be something in it." She is expecting up to 20 people at the first meeting she has called, at her local pub in the Cornish village of Polperro.O Nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies. "Using existing civil society structures or networks is a more effective way of creating change…… and obviously trade unions are one of the biggest civil societynetworks in the UK," he says. The "Love Food, Hate Waste" campaign entered into a collaboration last year with another such network-the Women's Institute. Londoner Rachel Taylor joined the campaign with the aim of making new friends.A year on, the meetings have made lasting changes to what she throws away in her kitchen. "It's always more of an incentive if you're doing it with other people," she says. "It motivates you more if you know that you've got to provide feedback to a group."PThe power of such simple psychology in fighting climate change is attracting attention across the political establishment. In the US, the House of Representatives Science Committee has approved a bill allocating $10 million a year to studying energy-related behavior. In the UK, new studies are in development and social scientists are regularly spotted in British government offices. With the help of psychologists, there is fresh hope that we might go green after all.47.题干When people find they are powerless to change a situation, they tend to live with it.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JL.LM.MN.NO.OP.P答案C解析"When we can't actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defence mechanisms,"48.题干To be effective, environmental messages should be carefully framed.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案L解析Cialdini recommends some careful framing of the message.49.题干It is the government's responsibility to persuade people into making environment-friendly decisions.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案G解析They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions.50.题干Politicians are beginning to realise the importance of enlisting psychologists' help in fighting climate change.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案P解析P段第一句“The power of such simple psychology in fighting climate change is attracting attention across the political establishment.”51.题干To find effective solutions to climate change, it is necessary to understand what motivates people to make change.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案H解析"We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change." says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich52.题干In their evolution, humans have learned to pay attention to the most urgent issues instead of long-term concerns.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案D解析D第二句Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact.53.题干One study shows that our neighbours' actions are influential in changing our behavior.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案J解析J段最后一句But it was the ones that mentioned the actions of neighbors that drove down power use.54.题干Despire clear signs of global warming, it is not easy for most people to believe climate change will effect their own lives.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案B解析B段第一句Despite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally.55.题干We should take our future into consideration in making decisions concerning climate change before it is too late.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JL.LM.MN.NO.OP.P答案F解析By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate changes, it could well be too late.

The researches asked fifth graders and college students to create a recovery plan to protect bald eagles from extinction. Shockingly, the two groups came up with plans of similar quality through the college students had better spelling skills. From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.The researches decided to go deeper, however. They asked both groups to generate questions about important issues needed to create recovery plans. On this task, they found large differences. College students focused on critical issues of interdependence between eagles"How big are they" and "What do they eat". The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking. They had learned how to learn.Museums and other institutions of informal learning may be better suited to teach this skill than elementary and secondly schools. At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we recently studied how learning to ask good questions canaffect the quality of people's scientific inquiry We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if" and "How can" questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit-asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results. Specially, their questions became more comprehensive at the new exhibit. Rather than merely asking about something they wanted to try, they tended to include both cause and effect in their question. Asking juicy questions appears to be a transferable skill for deepening collaborative inquiry into the science content found in exhibits.This type of learning is not confined to museums of institutional settings. Informal learning environment tolerate failure better than schools. Perhaps many teachers have too little time to allow students to form and pursue their own questions and too much ground to cover in the curriculum. But people must acquire this skill somewhere. Our society depend on them being able to make critical decisions about their own medical treatment, says, or what we must do about global energy needs and demands. For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.57.题干What is traditional educators' interpretation of the search outcome mentioned in the first paragraph选项A.Students are not able to apply prior knowledge to new problemsB.College students are no better than fifth graders in memorizing issues.cation has not paid enough attention to major environmental issues.cated has failed to lead students to think about major scientific ideas.答案D解析第一段最后一句话From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.可以看出;58.题干In what way are college students different from children选项A.They have learned to think criticallyB.They are concerned about social issuesC.They are curious about specific features.D.They have learned to work independently答案A解析第二段倒数第二句The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking.可以得知A正确;59.题干What is benefit of asking questions with no ready answers选项A.It arouse students' interest in things around them.B.It cultivates students' ability to make scientific inquiries.C.It trains students' ability to design scientific experiments.D.It helps students realize not every question has an answer答案B解析第三段的第三句提到了questions with no ready answers,表明“这些问题可以让人更加具有疑问精神,比如问更多问题、进行更多实验等”;60.题干What is said to be the advantage of informal learning选项A.It allows for failuresB.It is entertainingC.It charges no tuitionD.It meets practical need.答案A解析由倒数第一段的第二句话“Informal learning environments tolerate failure better than schools”非正式学习是宽容对待失败的;可以得出A选项It allows for failures.61.题干What does author seem to encourage educators to do at the end ofthe passage选项A.Train students to think about global issues.B.Design more interactive classroom activities.C.Make full use of informal learning resources.D.Include collaborative inquiry in the curriculum.答案C解析最后一段作者强调非正式学习的好处,尤其是最后一段的最后一句话,For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.Passage Two"There's an old saying in the space world: amateurs talk about technology, professionals talk about insurance." In an interview last year with The Economist, George Whitesides, chief executive of space-tourism firm Virgin Galactic, was placing his company in the latter category. But insurance will be cold comfort following the failure on October 31st of VSS Enterprise, resulting in the death of one pilot and the severe injury to another.On top of the tragic loss of life, the accident in California will cast a long shadow over the future of space tourism, even before it has properly begun.The notion of space tourism took hold in 2001 with a $20 million flight aboard a Russian spacecraft by Dennis Tito, a millionaire engineer with an adventurous streak. Just half a dozen holiday-makers have reached orbit since then, for similarly astronomical price tags. But more recently, companies have begun to plan more affordable "suborbital" flights-briefer ventures just to the edge of space's vast darkness. Virgin Galactic had, prior to this week's accident, seemed closest to starting regular flights. The company has already taken deposits from around 800 would be space tourists, including Stephen Hawking.After being dogged by technical delays for years, Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic's founder, had recently suggested that a SpaceShipTwo craft would carry its first paying customers as soon as February 2015. That now seems an impossible timeline. In July, a sister craft of the crashed spaceplane was reported to be about half-finished. The other half will have to wait, as authorities of America's Federal Aviation Administration FAA and National Transportation Safety Board work out what went wrong.In the meantime, the entire space tourism industry will be on tenterhooks坐立不安. The 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act, intended to encourage private space vehicles and services, prohibits the transportation secretary and thereby the FAA from regulating the design or operation ofprivate spacecraft, unless they have resulted in a serious or fatal injury to crew or passengers. That means that the FAA could suspend Virgin Galactic's licence to fly. It could also insist on checking private manned spacecraft as thoroughly as it does commercial aircraft. While that may make subotbitaltravel safer, it would add significant cost and complexity to an emergingindustry that has until now operated largely as the playground of billionaires and dreamy engineers.How Virgin Galactic, regulators and the public respond to this most recent tragedy will determine whether and how soon private space travel can transcend that playground. There is no doubt that spaceflight entails risks, and to pioneer a new mode of travel is to free those risks, and to reduce them with the benefit of hard-won experience.62.题干What is said about the failure of VSS Enterprise选项A.It may lead to the bankruptcy of Virgin Galactic.B.It has a strong negative impact on space tourism.C.It may discourage rich people from space travel.D.It has aroused public attention to safety issues.答案B解析第一段最后一句the accident in California will cast a long shadow over the future of space tourism, even before it has properly begun.可以看出VSS的失败是对太空旅行产生了消极的影响;63.题干What do we learn about the space-tourism firm Virgin Galactic选项A.It has just built a craft for commercial flights.B.It has sent half a dozen passengers into space.C.It was about ready to start regular business.D.It is the first to launch "suborbital” flights.答案C解析第二段倒数第二句话Virgin Galactic had, prior to this week's accident, seemed closest to starting regular flights.可以看出C符合题意;64.题干What is the purpose of the 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Ace商业空间的发射修正案选项A.To ensure space travel safety.B.To limit the FAA's functions.C.To legalize private space exploration.D.Tp promote the space tourism industry.答案D解析文中第四段第二句提到这个法案是“intended to encourage private space vehicles and services”,也就是为了“推动太空旅游业”;65.题干What might the FAA do after the recent accident in California选项A.Impose more rigid safety standards.B.Stop certifying new space-tourist agencies.C.Amend its 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act.D.Suspend Virgin Galactic's licence to take passengers into space.答案D解析根据关键词FAA定位到第四段,第三句“That means to suspend VG’s license to fly”可看出选项和选项D是相符的;66.题干What does the author think of private space travel选项A.It is worth promoting despite the risks involved.B.It should not be confined to the rich only.C.It should be strictly regulated.D.It is too risky to carry on.答案A解析通过最后一句There is no doubt that spaceflight entails risks, and to pioneer a new mode of travel is to free those risks, and to reduce them with the benefit of hard-won experience.可以看出作者对私人太空之旅是持积极态度的;Part IV Translation翻译一在中国,父母总是竭力帮助孩子,甚至为孩子做重要决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好;结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿;如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加其被重点学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使孩子根本不感兴趣;然而在美国,父母可能会尊重孩子的意见,并在决策时更注重他们的意见;中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞;然而,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系;。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished 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 center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:When global warming finally came, it stuck with a vengeance (异乎寻常地). In some regions, temperatures rose several degrees in less than a century. Sea levels shot up nearly 400 feet, flooding coastal settlements and forcing people to migrate inland. Deserts spread throughout the world as vegetation shifted drastically in North America, Europe and Asia. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to abandon their old way of life for a radically new survival strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease. The adaptation was farming: the global-warming crisis hat gave rise to it happened more than 10,000 years ago.As environmentalists convene in Rio de Janeiro this week to ponder the global climate of the future, earth scientists are in the midst of a revolution in understanding how climate has changed in the past —and how those changes have transformed human existence. Researchers have begun to piece together an illuminating picture of the powerful geological and astronomical forces that have combined to change the planet’s environment from hot to cold, wet to dry and back again over a time period stretching back hundreds of millions of years.Most important, scientists are beginning to realize that the climatic changes have had a major impact on the evolution of the human species. New research now suggests that climate shifts have played a key role in nearly every significant turning point in human evolution: from the dawn of primates (灵长目动物) some 65 million years ago to human ancestors rising up to walk on two legs, from the huge expansion of the human brain to the rise of agriculture. Indeed, the human history has not been merely touched by global climate change, some scientists argue, it has in some instances been driven by it.The new research has profound implications for the environmental summit in Rio. Among other things, the findings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth. The benign (宜人的) global environment that has existed over the past 10,000 years —during which agriculture, writing, cities and most other features of civilization appeared —is a mere bright spot in a much larger pattern of widely varying climate over the ages. In fact, the pattern of climate change in the past reveals that Earth’s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future —even without the influence of human activity.21. Farming emerged as a survival strategy because man had been obliged ______.A) to give up his former way of lifeB) to leave the coastal areasC) to follow the ever-shifting vegetationD) to abandon his original settlement22. Earth scientists have come to understand that climate ______.A) is going through a fundamental changeB) has been getting warmer for 10,000 yearsC) will eventually change from hot to coldD) has gone through periodical changes23. Scientists believe that human evolution ______.A) has seldom been accompanied by climatic changesB) has exerted little influence on climatic changesC) has largely been effected by climatic changesD) has had a major impact on climatic changes24. Evidence of past climatic changes indicates that ______.A) human activities have accelerated changes of Earth’s environmentB) Earth’s environment will remain mild despite human interferenceC) Earth’s climate is bound to change significantly in the futureD) Earth’s climate is unlikely to undergo substantial changes in the future25. The message the author wishes to convey in the passage is that ______.A) human civilization remains glorious though it is affected by climatic changesB) mankind is virtually helpless in the face of the dramatic changes of climateC) man has to limit his activities to slow down the global warming processD) human civilization will continue to develop in spite of the changes of naturePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better —or worse —part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat —or even only somewhat overweight —is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession (迷恋) with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being over-weight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, many have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem —too much fat and a lack of fiber —than a weight problem.The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neitherexercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free form paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory (虚荣).26. In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that ______.A) the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue.B) looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC) being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD) religious people are not necessarily virtuous27. Swept by the prevailing trend, the author ______.A) had to go on a diet for the greater part of her lifeB) could still prevent herself from going off the trackC) had to seek help from rich distant relativesD) had to wear highly fashionable clothes28. In human history, people’s views on body weight ______.A) were closely related to their religious beliefsB) changed from time to timeC) varied between the poor and the richD) led to different oral standards29. The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness ______.A) from an economic and educational perspectiveB) from sociological and medical points of viewC) from a historical and religious standpointD) in the light of moral principles30. What’s the author’s advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?A) They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.B) They should be more watchful for fatal diseases.C) They should gain weight to look healthy.D) They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:War may be a natural expression of biological instincts and drives toward aggression in the human species. Natural impulses of anger, hostility, and territoriality (守卫地盘的天性) are expressed through acts of violence. Theses are all qualities that humans share with animals. Aggression is a kind of innate (天生的) survival mechanism, an instinct for self-preservation, that allows animals to defend themselves from threats to their existence. But, on the other hand, human violence shows evidence of being a learned behavior. In the case of human aggression, violence cannot be simply reduced to an instinct. The many expressions of human violence arealways conditioned by social conventions that give shape to aggressive behavior. In human societies violence has a social function: It is a strategy for creating or destroying forms of social order. Religious traditions have taken a leading role in directing the powers of violence. We will look at the ritual and ethical (道德上的) patterns within which human violence has been directed.The violence within a society is controlled through institutions of law. The more developed a legal system becomes, the more society takes responsibility for the discovery, control, and punishment of violent acts. In most tribal societies the only means to deal with an act of violence is revenge. Each family group may have the responsibility for personally carrying out judgment and punishment upon the person who committed the offense. But in legal systems, the responsibility for revenge becomes depersonalized and diffused. The society assumes the responsibility for protecting individuals from violence. In cases where they cannot be protected, the society is responsible for imposing punishment. In a sate controlled legal system, individuals are removed from the cycle of revenge motivated by acts of violence, and the state assumes responsibility for their protection.The other side of a state legal apparatus is a state military apparatus. While the one protects the individual from violence, the other sacrifices the individual to violence in the interests of the state. In war the state affirms its supreme power over the individuals within its own borders. War is not simply a trial by combat to settle disputes between states; it is the moment when the state makes its most powerful demands upon its people for their recommitment, allegiance, and supreme sacrifice. Times of war test a community’s deepest religious and ethical commitments.31. Human violence shows evidence of being a learned behavior in that ______.A) it threatens the existing social systemsB) it is influenced by societyC) it has roots in religious conflictsD) it is directed against institutions of law32. The function of legal systems, according to the passage, is ______.A) to control violence within a societyB) to protect the world from chaosC) to free society from the idea of revengeD) to give the government absolute power33. What does the author mean by saying “…in legal systems, the responsibility for revenge becomes depersonalized an diffused”(Lines 5-6, Para. 2)A) Legal systems greatly reduce the possibilities of physical violence.B) Offenses against individuals are no longer judged on a personal basis.C) Victims of violence find it more difficult to take revenge.D) Punishment is not carried out directly by the individuals involved.34. The word “allegiance”(Line 5, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to ______.A) loyaltyB) objectiveC) survivalD) motive35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A) Governments tend to abuse their supreme power in times of war.B) In times of war governments may extend their power across national borders.C) In times of war governments impose high religious and ethical standards on their people.D) Governments may sacrifice individuals in the interests of the state in times of war.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied.In conducting research on cultural and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and important to the people in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the etic approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern is only that the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups. In a subsequent study, the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.36. According to the first paragraph, researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures are inclined to ______.A) be overcautious in constructing meaningful measuresB) view them from their own cultural perspectiveC) guard against interference from their own cultureD) accept readily what is alien to their own culture37. What does the author say about the emic approach and the etic approach?A) They have different research focuses in the study of ethnic issues.B) The former is biased while the latter is objective.C) The former concentrates on the study of culture while the latter on family issues.D) They are both heavily dependent on questionnaires in conducting surveys.38. Compared with the etic approach, the emic approach is apparently more ______.A) culturally interactiveB) culture-orientedC) culturally biasedD) culture-specific39. The etic approach is concerned with ______.A) the general characteristics of minority familiesB) culture-related concepts of individual ethnic groupsC) features shared by various cultures or ethnic groupsD) the economic conditions of different types of families40. Which of the following is true of the ethnic minority families in the U.S. according to the passage?A) Their cultural patterns are usually more adaptable.B) Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend.C) They don’t interact with each other so much as White families.D) They have closer family ties than White families.Part III V ocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 3.0. incomplete sentences in this part.

Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参照范文】It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encouragethe public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.【参照译文】众所周知创新意味着有发明力,独一无二和不一样。

SSS_TEXT_QUSTI该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 106.5答案:The Internet Real-name SystemAccording to a recent report, China now has about 400 million internet users. Whether to make all netizens register their real names or not has been debated for years in China. but government officials have confirmed that how to implement a system of entire real-name registration is being considered.Some netizens support the Internet real-name system. They hold that people should be responsible for what they do and what they say on the Internet just as in the real world. They also list the advantages in terms of fraud prevention and network security protection. On the contrary, other people are concerned that if the real-name registration system is enforced, the freedom to conduct discussion and exchange of ideas online will be threatened. Another problem is that it is hard to protect a netizen's right of privacy once their real identity is available on the Internet.In my opinion, the real-name system is necessary in some fields of the Interact. for example, e-commerce. But for those blog users and other netizens, a real-name system is unjustifiable.Part Ⅱ Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

It’sno surprise, then, that more than half of American adults get the 7 to 9 hoursof shut-eye every night as 37 by sleep experts.Whether or not we can catch up on sleep – on the weekend, say- is ahotly 38 among sleep researchers.

Politicians may tackle polluters whilescientists do battle with carbon emissions. But the most pervasive problem isless obvious: our own behaviour. We get distracted before we can turn down theheating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbor’s ripto India. Ultimately, we can’t be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunatelyfor the planet, social science and behavioral economics may be able to do thatfor us.B) Despite mournfulpolar bears and carts showing carbon emissions soaring, mot people find it hardto believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by thePew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent ofparticipants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondentsranked it last on a list of priorities.C) This inconsistencylargely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. “When we can’t actually removethe source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range ofdefense mechanisms,” says Tom Crompton, change strategistfor the environmentalorganization World Wide Fund for Nature.D) Part of the faultlies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay mostattention to issues that will have an immediate impact. “We worry most aboutnow because if we don’t survive for the next minute, we’re not go ing to bearound in ten years’ time,” says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre forResearch on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University in New York. If theThames were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners would face up to the problem ofemissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks—andbenefits—associated with issues that lie some way ahead.E) Matthew Rushworth,of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, seesthis in his lab every day. “One of the ways i n which all agents seem to makedecisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going tobe further away in the future,” he says. “This is a very sensible way for ananimal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful fo rhumans for thousands of years.”F) Not any longer. Bythe time we wake up to the threat posed by climate change, it could well be toolate. And if we’re not going to make national decisions about the future,others may have to help us to do so.。
