2.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage
Those of us who have to spend a great deal of time in
crowded conditions become gradually better able to
adjust, but no one can ever escape completely
invasions of Personal Space. This is because they remain forever associated with either personal
hostile or
equally powerful
loving feelings. All through our
childhood we will have been held to be loved and held to be hurt, and anyone who invades our Personal Space when we are adults is, in effect,
threatening to extend his
behavior into one of these two highly charged areas of human liberation.
Unfortunately, different countries have different ideas about exactly how close is close .It is easy enough to teat your own "space
reaction": when you are talking to someone in the street or in any open space, reach out with your arm and see where the nearest point on his body comes. If you come from
western Europe, you will find that he is at
roughly fingertip distance from you. In other words, as you reach out, your fingertips will just about make
contact with his shoulder. If you come from eastern Europe you will find you are
standing at "wrist distance." If you come from the Mediterranean region you will find that you are much closer to your
companion, at little more than"elbow distance."
Trouble begins when a member of one of these cultures meets and talks to one from another. Say a British
diplomat meets an Italian or an Arab
diplomat at an
embassyfunction. They start talking in a friendly way, but soon the fingertips man begins to feel
uneasy. Without
knowing quite why, he starts to back away
gently from his
companion. The
companion edges forward again. Attempts to
adjust this situation often lead to a talking pair entering into a room and many an
embassyreception is dotted with
western Europe finger-distance men pinned against the walls by eager elbow-distance men.
1.Why can't we completely escape the
invasion of Personal Space?
A. Because we are always in
crowded conditions.
B. Because we cannot
adjust ourselves to the situation.
C. Because Personal Space is closely
related to our feelings.
D. Because Personal Space may
remind us of our
childhood.
2.The two areas mentioned in para 1 are___________.
A. love and hostility
B.
childhood and adulthood
C.
invasion and threat
D. Personal Space and communication
3.A/An_______speaker tends to keep the shortest distance to the other speaker.
A.
western European
B. eastern European
C. Mediterranean
D. African
4.What is likely to be observed in an
embassyreception?
A. An Italian
diplomat moves forward when talking to an Arab
diplomat.
B. A British
diplomat was pinned against the wall by an Arab
diplomat.
C. An Arab
diplomat starts to back away from his
companion.
D. An Italian and an Arab
diplomat are charging their
companion.
5.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.
A. British
diplomats always feel
uneasy in an
embassyreceptionB. An Arab
diplomat is more friendly than an Italian
diplomatC. Differences in personal space may lead to some communicative problems
D. Trouble begins when people of different cultures meet and talk to one another
3.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
If we look at men's
reaction to the women's
movement, we find several ideas that
conflict with each other. Men consider the
movement dangerous, but they also consider it
ridiculous. On the one hand, men fear that it will ruin the balance of power between the sexes and destroy
normalrelationships of all kinds; but on the other hand they claim it success in the world; yet it is also said that they will
compete so
successfully that they will take jobs away from deserving men.
Oppositions to the women's
movement has many causes. The first is the fact that the
movement raise questions of power. The changes women demand are compelling men to do some serious thinking, not only about their
relationship to women but also about their
relationship to the whole power
structure of our society. That is a hard and
unwelcome task.
Secondly, there is the very real problem that women's demands mean different things to men from what they mean to women. Women say," We are human beings like you in whom there happens to exist a sex difference. We recognize that difference, but why should it apply to more than sex?"
To men, this is a dangerous and disturbing question. The
ability of women to see themselves as human beings first and females only second is the product of a change in women's life experiences. This change has not yet been matched by a
corresponding change in men's lives.
Some men naturally fear that admitting women to
equality will
threaten their own insecure position. This is less true for the powerful male, who finds it easy to
dominate. To the weak male, however, women have become the only territory on which his power can be exercised. And so, for such men, women must be a
nameless and faceless creature with the right to say yes but not no.
1.Men's
reaction to women's
movement is that________.
A.
ridiculousB. dangerous
C. fearing

complicated2.One reason that men oppose women's

B. men believe there is more than the sex difference between men and women
C. men have neglected the difference between men and women
D. the difference between men and women is not important at all

4.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Scientists who work on animal
behavior are always at risk of being fooled by the animals they are studying or, worse, fooling themselves. Whether their experiments
involve domesticated
laboratory animals or wild creatures in the field, there is no end to the surprises that an animal can think up in the presence of an
investigator. Sometimes it seems as if animals are biologically programmed to
puzzle human beings, especially psychologists.
The risks are especially high when the
scientist is engaged in training the animal to do something or other and must bank his
professionalreputation on the
integrity of his
experimental subject. The most famous case in point is that of Clever Hans, the turn-of-the -century German horse now recorded in the language of
behavioral science by the
technical term, the "Clever Hans Error".
The horse, owned and trained by Herr von Osten, could not only solve
complexarithmetical problems, but even read the instructions on a blackboard and tap out, with one hoof(蹄子),the right answer. What is more, he could perform the same computations when total strangers posed questions to him, with his
trainernowhere nearby. For several years Clever Hans was
studied intensively by groups of
puzzled
scientists and taken
seriously as a horse with something very like a human brain, quite possibly even better than human.
But finally in 1911,it was discovered by Professor O.Pfungst that Hans was not really doing
arithmetic at all; he was simply observing the
behavior of the human experimenter. Subtle,
unconscious gestures-nods of the head, the
holding of
breath, the cessation(停止)of nodding when the correct count was reached-were
accurately read by the horse as clues to stop tapping.
31.The first
sentence implies that the
scientists who study animal
behaviors_______.
A. are always fooled by their colleagues
B. are more likely to make mistakes
C. have more chances to succeed
D. live a more dangerous life
32.It can be
learned from the first two
paragraphs that_______.
A. the study on animal
behavior belongs
exclusively to the field of psychology
B. animals always surprise and
puzzle the
scientists who study their
behaviors
C.
scientists who study animal
behaviors tend to have a bad
reputation33.The word "bank" in
paragraph 2 can be replaced by________.
A. pile
B. deposit
C. build
D. defend
34.Which of the following statements about Clever Hans is NOT true?
A. Clever Hans is a very
intelligent horse that can do
complicated calculations.
B. Clever Hans has
puzzled many
scientists who have
studied him intensively.
C. Clever Hans is good at observing the subtle
behaviors of the experimenters.
D. Clever Hans Error has become a
technical term in
behavioral science.
35.The author mentions the case of Clever Hans for the purpose of ___________.
A. introducing a new way of teaching mathematics
B. arguing for the necessity of doing experiments on animals
C. illustrating how
scientists are fooled by animals
D. proving the high
intelligence of a horse
