Instead, it is usually the product of human need; (21) is truly the mother of invention. People usually devise tool
13、s to (22) for natural deficiencies. For example, people invented weapons to defend (23) from physically superior (24) . But (25) is only one incentive for inventions. People also invent (26) tools to (27) certain established tasks more efficiently. For instance, people developed the bow and arrow fr
14、om the (28) spear or javelin in order to shoot (29) and strike with greater strength.(30) civilizations developed, greater work efficiency came to be demanded, and (31) tools became more (32) . A tool would (33) a function until it proved (34) in meeting human needs, at which point an improvement wo
15、uld be made. One impetus for invention has always been the (35) for speed and high-quality results-provided they are achieved (36) reasonable costs. Stone pebbles were sufficient to account for small quantities of possessions, (37) they were not efficient enough for performing sophisticated mathemat
16、ics. However, beads arranged systematically evolved into the abacus.

22、t is truly as if they had 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
23、ideas we have in America 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
24、of ownership of the earth 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 wou
25、ld we function? What would 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
26、, work on the land and raise 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,
27、 some of the early radical 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 o
28、rganization of manufacture 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, a
29、s a society, as a nation-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 pr
30、operty believe that the owner 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 bl
31、essing of the CreatorD. originated 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)
32、.We learn by inference that 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 becaus
33、e _.A. his labor accounts 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 pro
34、duction of early mans manual 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 key position and role of women in the process of development is increasingly
35、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 of awareness. It has become clear that the Third World cultures, in earlier times strongly matriarchal, ha
36、ve 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: “Development education groups and programs are very much male dominated and lack womans perspective“. So, too
37、, 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 should not be surprised that until now women have participated least in the educational processes which h
38、ave 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 Education programs. Hence it is vitally important to secure a turning point by increasing the awareness of
39、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. She is more productive at home and in the workplace and is better able to get further education.“ Many
40、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 primary education for girls should be directed towards the basic needs and necessities and provide answers
41、 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 the life they will lead, tailored to a womans position. In saying this we are in fact demanding that the ed
42、ucation 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 businesses, governmental and non-governmental organizations. The educational skill consists in keeping this interp
43、lay 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 education and on the other hand for its practical application.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage we can infer
44、that in the Third World _.A. the development education groups and programs 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（
45、分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It is very important to be more aware of the need 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 educat
46、ionD. only 1/5 of girls can enter elementary school and most of them have to quit early（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).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 co
47、mbinedC. women should like all educational work in the Third WorldD. the education of women should be organizations run by government（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).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 Educ
48、ation of Women in the Third WorldD. Womens Education Groups and Programs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).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.六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When it comes to the economy, pessimism is in and good
49、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 the escalation of terror alerts continue to keep people on edge. Reports of state budget deficits and threats of major cutbacks in services such as education, health care and police also make people nervous.The
