This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense, for that is a born quality (21) our control. The l
12、eader has, nevertheless, to be a magnet; a central figure towards whom people are (22) Magnetism in that sense depends, first of all, (23) being seen. There is a type of authority which can be (24) from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership. (25) there is movement and action, the true lead
13、er is in the forefront and may seem, indeed, to be everywhere at once. He has to become a legend; the (26) for anecdotes, whether true or (27) , character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent (28) the occasion when the leader might be (29) to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about
14、 the vital business (30) has detained him. To (31) up for this, he can appeal when least expected, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display (32) things which other folks might (33) as trivial. With this gift for (34) curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk abo
15、ut himself. His interest is (35) in other people; he questions them and encourages them to talk and then remembers all (36) is relevant. He never leaves a party (37) he has mentally formed a minimum dossier (档案) on (38) present, ensuring that he knows (39) to say when he meets them again. He is not

21、 sprung from the mind of God? By no means. The idea of owning and property emerged in the mists of unrecorded history. The ancient Jews, for one, had a very different outlook on property and ownership, viewing it as something much more temporary and tentative than we do.The ideas we have in America
22、about the private ownership of productive property as a natural and universal right of mankind, perhaps of divine origin, are by no means universal and must be viewed as an invention of man rather than an order of God. Of course, we are completely trained to accept the idea of ownership of the earth
23、 and its products, raw and transformed. It seems not at all strange; in fact, it is quite difficult to imagine a society without such arrangements. If someone, some individuals, didnt own that plot of land, that house, that factory, that machine, that tower of wheat, how would we function? What woul
24、d the rules be? Whom would we buy from and how would we sell?It is important to acknowledge a significant difference between achieving ownership simply by taking or claiming property and owning what we tend to call the “fruit of labor.“ If I, alone or together with my family, work on the land and ra
25、ise crops, or if I make something useful out of natural material, it seems reasonable and fair to claim that the crops or the objects belong to me or my family, are my property, at least in the sense that I have first claim on them. Hardly anyone would dispute that. In fact, some of the early radica
26、l workingmens movements made (an ownership) claim on those very grounds. As industrial organization became more complex, however, such issues became vastly more intricate. It must be clear that in modem society the social heritage of knowledge and technology and the social organization of manufactur
27、e and exchange account for far more of the productivity of industry and the value of what is produced than can be accounted for by the labor of any number of individuals. Hardly any person can now point and say, “That-that right there-is the fruit of my labor.“ We can say, as a society, as a nation-
28、as a world, really-that what is produced is the fruit of our labor, the product of the whole society as a collectivity.We have to recognize that the right of private individual ownership of property is man-made and constantly dependent on the extent to which those without property believe that the o
29、wner can make his claim, dependent on the extent to which those without stick.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the concept of ownership probably _.A. resulted from the concept of property rightB. stemmed from the uncovered prehistoric agesC. arose from the generous blessing of the CreatorD. o
30、riginated from the undetected Middle Ages（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author thinks private ownership to be _.A. a necessary invention of mankindB. an inherent right of a human beingC. a permanent arrangement for societyD. an explicit idea of some individuals（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).We learn by inference th
31、at private property may _.A. be viewed as a design of inventive powersB. be treated as a discovery of our ancestorsC. function as the universal rule of tradingD. serve as the basis of market economy（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It is reasonable to claim ones own fruit of labor because _.A. his labor accounts
32、 for the product and its valueB. he has the priority to lay claim on the productC. his labor is widely recognized and respectedD. he has the grounds for making claims first（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Private ownership of property is described at the end of the passage as _.A. a production of early mans man
33、ual workB. a demand for greater productivity in industryC. varying with the shift in human agreementsD. denied by socialized production and exchange（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The component of the healthy personality that is the first to develop is the sense of the trust. The cruci
34、al time for its emergence is the first year of life. As with other personality components, the sense of trust is not something that develops independent of other manifestations of growth. It is not that infants learn how to use their bodies for purposeful movement, learn to recognize people and obje
35、cts around them, and also develop a sense of trust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust“ is a shortcut expression intended to convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs satisfying experiences at this early age. Or, to say it another way, this psychological formulation serves to condense, sum
36、marize, and synthesize the most important underlying changes, which give meaning to the infants concrete and diversified experience.Trust can exist only in relation to something. Consequently, a sense of trust cannot develop until infants are old enough to be aware of objects and persons and to have
37、 some feeling that they are separate individuals. At about 3 months of age, babies are likely to smile, if somebody comes close and talks to them. This shows that they are aware of the approach of the other person, that pleasurable sensations are aroused. If, however, the person moves too quickly or
38、 speaks too sharply, these babies may look and cry. They will not “trust“ the unusual situation but will have a feeling of uneasiness, of mistrust, instead.Experience connected with feeding are a prime source for the development of trust. At around 4 months of age, a hungry baby will grow quiet and
39、show signs of pleasure at the sound of an approaching footstep, anticipating (trusting) that he or she will be held and fed. This repeated experience of being hungry, seeing food, receiving food, and feeling relieved and comforted assures the baby that the world is a dependable place.Later experienc
40、es, starting at around 5 months of age, add another dimension to the sense of trust. Though endless repetitions of attempts to grasp for and hold objects, most babies are finally successful in controlling and adapting their movements in such a way as to reach their goal. Through these and other feat
41、s of muscular coordination, babies are gradually able to trust their own bodies to do their bidding.Studies of mentally-ill individuals and observations of infants who have been grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personality. Psyc
42、hiatrists find again and again that the most serious illnesses occur in patients who have been sorely neglected or abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy. Similarly, it is a common finding of psychological and social investigators that individuals diagnosed as “psychopathic personalities“ w
43、ere so unloved in infancy that they have no reason to trust the human race and therefore, no feeling of responsibility toward their fellow human beings.（分数：10.00）(1).What dose “this psychological formulation“ (Paragraph 1) refer to?A. Characteristic flavor. B. Satisfying experiences.C. Concrete and
44、diversified experience. D. Sense of trust.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author implies in the passage that _.A. the sense of trust can grow independent of other manifestations of growthB. infants can develop sense of trust just as they learn to recognize people and objectsC. children who are usually sati
45、sfied can easily build the sense of trust than neglected onesD. sense of trust can be developed since one baby is born（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of following statements is NOT true according to the development of a sense of trust?A. A 3-month-old infant gets sense of trust from the pleasurable appro
46、ach of a person.B. The sense of trust of an infant comes greatly from the experience of being fed.C. A 5-month-old infant can get the sense of trust in himself from their own ability to do things.D. The endless repetitions of attempts to grasp for and hold objects may frustrate the sense of self-tru
47、st of infants.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the right cause of somebodys psychopathic personality?A. Because they have been over loved and spoiled by their parents.B. Because they have been bitterly ignored or abused in infancy.C. Because they have not been trusted in infancy.D. Because they have got
48、 the most serious illnesses from their family.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The passage mainly tells us that _.A. the sense of trust is the first part of healthy personality to be developedB. the sense of trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personalityC. trust can exist only in rela
49、tion to other stages of growthD. individuals with psychopathic personalities were usually unloved in infancy and have no sense of trust（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When it comes to the economy, pessimism is in and good old American optimism is out. From the headlines in the newspapers to the coffee shop chatter, it seems that there is little good to say about the economy. Bad enough that the news about Iraq, winter storms and
