12、.二、Section Cloze(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal (21) an area. The size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his (22) and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, (23) up the best territory in the order of “first come,
13、first (24) .“ The late arrivals may acquire (25) territories, but less food is available, or they are too close to the (26) of the enemies of the species. (27) there is really insufficient food or the danger is very great, the animal will not (28) . In this way, the members of the species which are
14、less fit will not have offspring.When there is conflict (29) . territory, animals will commonly use force, or a (30) of force, to decide which will stay and which will go. It is interesting to note, however, that animals seem to use (31) the minimum amount of force (32) to drive away the intruder. T
15、here is usually no killing. In the (33) of those animals which are capable of doing each other great harm, (34) is a system for the losing animal to show the winning animals that he (35) to submit. When he shows this, the (36) normally stops fighting. Animals (especially birds), which can easily esc

However, if two doves are (39) in a cage, and they start fighting, they will continue to fight until one kills the other. We all think of the dove as a symbol of

What gives unity to the whole Scholast
22、ic movement, the academic practice in Europe from the 9th to the 17th centuries, are the common aims, attitudes, and methods generally accepted by all its members. The chief concern of the Scholastics was not to discover new facts but to integrate the knowledge already acquired separately by Greek r
23、easoning and Christian revelation. This concern is one of the most characteristic differences between Scholasticism and modern thought since the Renaissance.The basic aim of the Scholastics determined certain common attitudes, the most important of which was their conviction of the fundamental harmo
24、ny between reason and revelation. The Scholastics maintained that because the same God was the source of both types of knowledge and truth was one of his chief attributes, he could not contradict himself in these two ways of speaking. Any apparent opposition between revelation and reason could be tr
25、aced either to an incorrect use of reason or to an inaccurate interpretation of the words of revelation. Because the Scholastics believed that revelation was the direct teaching of God, it possessed for them a higher degree of truth and certainty than did natural reason. In apparent conflicts betwee
26、n religious faith and philosophic reasoning, faith was thus always the supreme arbiter; the theologians decision overruled that of the philosopher. After the early 13th century, Scholastic thought emphasized more the independence of philosophy within its own domain. Nonetheless, throughout the Schol
27、astic period, philosophy was called the servant of theology, not only because the truth of philosophy was subordinated to that of theology, but also because the theologian used philosophy to understand and explain revelation.This attitude of Scholasticism stands in sharp contrast to the so-called do
28、uble-truth theory of the Spanish-Arab philosopher and physician Averroes. His theory assumed that truth was accessible to both philosophy and Islamic theology but that only philosophy could attain it perfectly. The so-called truths of theology served, hence, as imperfect imaginative expressions for
29、the common people of the authentic truth accessible only to philosophy. Averroes maintained that philosophic truth could even contradict, at least verbally, the teachings of Islamic theology.As a result of their belief in the harmony between faith and reason, the Scholastics attempted to determine t
30、he precise scope and competence of each of these faculties. Many early Scholastics, such as the Italian ecclesiastic and philosopher St. Anselm, did not clearly distinguish the two and were overconfident that reason could prove certain doctrines of revelation. Later, at the height of the mature peri
31、od of Scholasticism, the Italian theologian and philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas worked out a balance between reason and revelation.（分数：10.00）(1).With the Scholastics, the search for new knowledge _.A. stopped completely B. slowed downC. advanced rapidly D. awaked gradually（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which o
32、f the following best illustrates the relation between reason and revelation?A. They are simply identical.B. Revelation guides reason.C. They are occasionally contradictory.D. Reason is used to perfect revelation.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _.A. the position of philo
33、sophy as a humble servant was acceptedB. religion had turned into a hamper to the functioning of philosophyC. philosophers often quoted revelation to support themselvesD. philosophers were sometimes referred to in religious practice（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, Averroes held that _.
34、A. Islamic theology was often subordinate to philosophyB. religious truth was nothing but imaginative fantasyC. real truth was inaccessible to many common peopleD. imperfect expressions were result of flawed religion（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following is most likely to be discussed in the pa
35、rt succeeding the passage?A. Relations of St. T. Aquinas achievements to previous efforts.B. How St. T. Aquinas worked out in the balance in discussion.C. Other endeavors on the relationship of reason and revelation.D. Outstanding features of the mature period of Scholasticism.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Pas
36、sage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The key position and role of women in the process of development is increasingly being recognized. Although the three great World Conferences of Women were more concerned with recognizing and compiling approaches to emancipation we can currently confirm a general sharpening o
37、f awareness. It has become clear that the Third World cultures, in earlier times strongly matriarchal, have been weakened in this respect by the methods of colonial education which are almost exclusively directed towards the male. Of the many criticisms of this situation let one voice be heard: “Dev
38、elopment education groups and programs are very much male dominated and lack womans perspective“. So, too, the hopes placed in vocational training-“vocationalization-as an aid to equality have been disappointed since this in its turn was to large extent focused on the male.In these circumstances we
39、should not be surprised that until now women have participated least in the educational processes which have been introduced. Only 20% attend primary school and the percentage of those who leave early is highest among girls. Because of the lack of basic training only around 10% take part in Adult Ed
40、ucation programs. Hence it is vitally important to secure a turning point by increasing the awareness of the need for education.The International Conference at Jomtien in 1990 provided the solution to this: “A more educated mother raises a healthier family. She has fewer and better educated children
41、. She is more productive at home and in the workplace and is better able to get further education.“ Many problems in school are consequences of incorrect or improperly balanced nutrition combined with .inadequate hygiene. Together these factors can lead to failure to keep pace in school.Hence even p
42、rimary education for girls should be directed towards the basic needs and necessities and provide answers which are as simple as possible. In rural districts such answers will be different from those given in urban areas. The education of girls and women must to a large degree be an education for th
43、e life they will lead, tailored to a womans position. In saying this we are in fact demanding that the education of women, like all educational work in the Third World, should be an integrated part of the community. Consequently there are many partners in this process school, family, small businesse
44、s, governmental and non-governmental organizations. The educational skill consists in keeping this interplay active in such a way that there is no deficiency in material content. An important consequence of this is the awakening of the desire to question, which, on the one hand presses for further e
45、ducation and on the other hand for its practical application.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “emancipation“ (Paragraph 1) may be replaced by _.A. relief B. freedom C. liberation D. liberty（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From the passage we can infer that in the Third World _.A. the development education groups and prog
46、rams is short of womans perspectiveB. the methods of colonial education have made the matriarchal culture stronger than beforeC. the matriarchal culture was stronger in the pastD. the matriarchal education is directed towards men（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It is very important to be more aware of the need
47、for education of women because _.A. so far very few girls and women take part in the educational processesB. women have at least participated in the educational processesC. only about 1/10 of women participate in continuing educationD. only 1/5 of girls can enter elementary school and most of them h
48、ave to quit early（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author argues in the passage that _.A. the education of women should be a process of community activityB. the education of women should be a part of community in which many partners are combinedC. women should like all educational work in the Third WorldD. t
49、he education of women should be organizations run by government（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title of the passage is _.A. The Position and Role of Women in the Development of EducationB. The Education of Girls and WomenC. The Education of Women in the Third WorldD. Womens Education Groups and Programs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How can a company improve its sales?
