effect. When two Americans look searchingly at each other’s __2___

eye, emotions are heightened and the relationship becomes

closer. However, Americans are careful about where and __3___

when to meet other’s eye. In our normal conversation, each

eye-contact lasts only a few seconds before one or both

individuals look away, because the longer meeting of the eyes

is rare, and, after it happens, can generate a special kind of ___4___

human-to-human awareness. For instance, by simply using his

eyes, a man can make a woman aware of his comfortably or

uncomfortably; a long and steady gaze from a policeman or judge

intimidates accused. In the U.S. proper street behavior requires___5___

functions as a kind of conversational traffic signal control the___10___

talking pace and time, and to indicate a change of topic. If you

can understand this vital mechanism of interpersonal relations,

the basic American idiom is there.

Ⅲ. Reading (15*3=45)

Passage 1

In taking up a new life across the Atlantic, the early European settlers of the United States did not abandon the diversions with which their ancestors had traditionally relieved the tedium of life. Neither the harshness of existence on the new continent nor the scattered population nor the disapproval of the clergy discouraged the majority from the pursuit of pleasure.

City and country dwellers, of course, conducted this pursuit in different ways. Farm dwellers in their isolation not only found it harder to locate companions in play but also, thanks to the unending demands and pressures of their work, felt it necessary to combine fun with purpose. No other set of colonists took so seriously an expression of the period, "Leisure is time for doing something useful." In the countryside farmers therefore relieved the burden of the daily routine with such double-purpose relaxations as hunting, fishing, and trapping. When a neighbor needed help, families rallied from miles around to assist in building a house or barn, husking corn, shearing sheep, or chopping wood. Food, drink, and celebration after the group work

provided relaxation and soothed weary muscles.

The most eagerly anticipated social events were the rural parties. Hundreds of men, women, and children attended from far and near. The men bought or traded farm animals and acquired needed merchandise while the women displayed food prepared in their kitchens, and everyone, including the youngsters, watched or participated in a variety of competitive sports, with prizes awarded to the winners. These events typically included horse races, wrestling matches, and foot races, as well as some nonathletic events such as whistling competitions. No other occasions did so much to relieve the isolation of farm existence.

With the open countryside everywhere at hand, city dwellers naturally shared in some of

the rural diversions. Favored recreations included fishing, hunting, skating, and swimming. But city dwellers also developed other pleasures, which only compact communities made possible.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A) Methods of fanning used by early settlers of the United States.

B) Hardships faced by the early settlers of the United States.

C) Methods of buying, selling, and trading used by early settlers of the United States.

D) Ways in which early settlers of the United States relaxed.

2. What can be inferred about the diversions of the early settlers of the United States?

A) They followed a pattern Begun in Europe.

B) They were enjoyed more frequently than in Europe.

C) The clergy organized them.

D) Only the wealthy participated in them.

3. Which of the following can be said about the country dwellers' altitude toward "the pursuit

of pleasure" ?

A) They felt that it should help keep their minds on their work.

B) They felt that it was not necessary.

C) They felt that it should be productive.

D) They felt that it should not involve eating and drinking.

4. What is meant by the phrase "double-purpose" in the 4th sentence in paragraph 2?

A) Very frequent. B) Useful and enjoyable.

C) Extremely necessary. D) Positive and negative.

5. What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph following this passage?

A) The rural diversions enjoyed by both urban and rural people.

B) Leisure activities of city dwellers.

C) Building methods of the early settlers in rural areas.

D) Changes in lifestyles of settlers as they moved to the cities.

Passage 2

For me, scientific knowledge is divided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with the natural world (physical and biological sciences), and sciences dealing with mankind (psychology, sociology, all the sciences of cultural achievements, every kind of historical knowledge). Apart from these sciences is philosophy, about which we will talk later. In the first place, all this is pure or theoretical knowledge that is intrinsic and consubstautial to man. What distinguishes man from animal is that he knows and needs to know. If man did not know that the world existed, and that the world was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and that he himself was of a certain kind, he wouldn't be a man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance, because they also contribute to defining him as man and permit him to pursue a life increasingly more truly human.

But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, he must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will have immediate and foreseeable success, but not the kind of important result whose revolutionary scope is in large part unforeseen, except by the imagination of the Utopians. Let me recall a we N-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves to the investigation of conic sections zealously and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely conceive of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, be-cause the human spirit cannot resign itself to ignorance. But, in addition, the foundation for practical results would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been sought disinterestedly.

6. The most important advances made by mankind come from __.

A) technical applications B) apparently useless information

C) the natural sciences D) philosophy

7. The word "Utopians" in the 2nd sentence in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __.

A) idealists B) Greek mathematicians

C) scientists D) true human

8. In the paragraph the follows this passage, we may expect the author to discuss __.

A) the value of technical research B) the value of pure research

C) philosophy D) unforeseen discoveries

9. The word "resign" in the 6th sentence in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to

A) dismiss B) quit C) remark D) submit

10. The title that best expresses the ideas of this passage is __.

A) "Technical Progress"

B) "A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing"

C) "Man's Distinguishing Characteristics"

D) "The Function of Theoretical Knowledge as Compared to Its Practical Applications"

Passage 3

In most of the human civilization of which we have any proper records, youth has drawn on

either art or life for models, planning to emulate the heroes depicted in epics on the shadow play screen or the stage, or those known human beings, fathers or grandfathers, chiefs or craftsmen, whose every characteristic can be studied and imitated. As recently as 1910, this was the prevailing condition in the United States. If he came from a nonliterate background, the recent immigrant learned to speak, move, and think like an American by using his eyes and ears on the labor line and in the homes of more acculturated cousins, by watching school children, or by absorbing the standards of the teacher, the foreman, the clerk who served him in the store. For the literate and the literate children of the nouliterate, there was art--the story of the frustrated artist in the prairie town, of the second generation battling with the limitations of the first. And at a simpler level, there were the Western and Hollywood fairy tales which pointed a moral but did not, as a rule, teach table manners.

With the development of the countermovement against Hollywood, with the efflorescence (全盛)of photography, with Time-Life-Fortune types of reporting and the dead-pan New Yorker manner of describing the life of an old-clothes dealer in a forgotten street or of presenting the "accurate", "checked" details of the lives of people whose eminence gave at least a sort of license to attack them, with the passion for "human documents" in Depression days--a necessary substitute for proletarian art among middle class writers who knew nothing about proletarians, and middleclass readers who needed the shock of verisimilitude(真实)--a new era in American life was ushered in, the era in which young people imitated neither life nor art nor fairy tale, but instead were presented with models drawn from life with minimal but crucial distortions. Doctored life histories, posed carelessness, "candid" shots of people in their own homes which took hours to arrange, pictures shot from real life to scripts written months before supplemented

by national polls and surveys which assured the reader that this bobby soxer (少女)did indeed represent a national norm or a growing trend--replaced the older models.

11. This article is based on the idea that ________.

A) people today no longer follow models

B) People attach little importance to whoever they follow

C) people generally pattern their lives after models

D) People no longer respect heroes

12. Stories of the second generation battling against the limitations of the first were often re- sponsible for ______.

A) inspiring literate immigrants

B) frustrating educated immigrants

C) preventing the assimilation of immigrants

D) instilling into immigrants an antagonistic attitude toward their forebears

13. The countermovement against Hollywood was a movement ______

A) toward realism B) toward fantasy

C) against the teaching of morals D) away from realism

14. The author attributes the change in attitudes since 1910 to ____

A) a logical evolution of ideas B) widespread moral decay

C) the influence of the press D) a philosophy of plenty

15. The word "distortions" at the end of the 2nd sentence in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning

to ______.

A) presentations B) misinterpretations

C) influences D) limitations

Ⅳ Writing ( 30 + 50 )
