27、e late 16th-century. The Welsh were never actually defeated by the English. Instead, they realized that unity with their bigger neighbor was the only way to end the almost continuous state of war that existed between the two countries. Since unity, England and Wales have had the same systems of law,
28、 education and government.The situation between Scotland and England was very different. They fought fierce wars for centuries, each invading each other, whenever the situation seemed in their favour. This came to an end in the 17th-century when King James Vi of Scotland inherited the throne(王位)of E
29、ngland, after Queen Elizabeth I died without children. In 1707, Scotland and England were brought together in an Act of Union. This took away much of the Scots control of their own affairs, but they kept their own systems of law and education.For the three countries, union resulted in peace. But Eng
30、lands occupation of Ireland has always been characterized by violence. Ireland was slowly brought under English control in the 16th- and 17th-centuries. But it retained its own government until 1801, when it was brought together with the Parliament at Westminster.However, Britain was under pressure
31、to leave Ireland by 1920. In 1921, an agreement was signed whereby a separate Irish Free State (today called the Irish Republic) was created. This did not, however, include the six counties of Northern Ireland, which remain part of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“.（分数：8.00）

33、e Irish Republic.(3).It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that _.（分数：2.00）A.it is easy for England to occupy IrelandB.it is extremely difficult for England to occupy IrelandC.it is easy for England to occupy ScotlandD.it is especially difficult for England and Wales to be united(4).Which of the follo
34、wing statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.The Welsh love peace most compared with other people in the UK.B.Scotland and England fought fierce wars for centuries.C.Ireland kept their own government until 1801.D.England has completely occupied Ireland up till now.BPassage Two/BPractitioners in all the th
35、eoretical perspectives that we have reviewed use interviews to assess personality. The techniques range from informal conversational exchanges to well-organized series of specific questions designed to elicit (诱出) specific responses. Good interviewers do not limit their attention to what the intervi
36、ewee says; they also look at how he or she says it. They note the interviewees general appearance, voice and speech patterns, the contents of his or her thoughts, and facial expressions and posture(姿态).The interview is valuable for the direct personal contact that it provides, but it has some limita
37、tions, particularly from a research standpoint. For example, it is difficult to quantify everything that goes on in an interview. The person being interviewed may not understand or may resist the purpose behind the interview. Interviewees may state facts, opinions, and attitudes in a reliable fashio
38、n; but, in some cases, they may distort facts and lie. They may sigh, gesture, avert their eyes, tap their feet, and smile or grimace (做怪相) at the interviewer. Even experienced interviewers can extract and use only a small percentage of all this information.In addition, interviewees may be defensive
39、 and may hesitate to discuss personal opinions, attitudes, and concerns openly. Interviewers must estimate the degree to which the desire of some interviewees to present themselves in a socially desirable light may invalidate some or all of their responses. Sometimes interviewers observe behaviors t
40、hat interviewees are unaware of themselves.Despite its limitations, the face-to-face interview is obviously essential for certain purposes. A clinical psychologist needs to observe and converse with some one who is being considered for treatment in a mental hospital. So, also, does a personnel speci
41、alist who wants to fill a top management position. But other more convenient and quantifiable techniques that supplement or improve upon certain aspects of the interview are being constructed by personality assessors.（分数：8.00）(1).Good interviewers assess an interviewees personality by attending to t
42、he following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.his appearance and thoughtsB.his non-verbal behaviorC.the quality and volume of his speechD.the content and way of his speech(2).The interview limits an interviewers assessment because _.（分数：2.00）A.all the information may be extracted by the interviewerB.the real fac
43、ts may be disguised by some intervieweesC.interviewees may state attitudes in a dependable wayD.interviewees may respond to the specific questions(3).The face-to-face interview is very important for the following people EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.the top manager who will negotiate with the other partyB.the
44、 clinical psychologist who will diagnose a persons mental diseaseC.the personnel specialist who will fill an important positionD.the assessor who will make an evaluation of ones personality(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The interview will be sup
45、ported and improved by the more quantifiable techniques.B.The interviewees may not be willing to discuss their personal opinions and affairs openly.C.The interviewees responses to some questions may be considered as invalid if they are very defensive to discuss them.D.The interviewers may validate t
46、he interviewees responses by estimating the degree of their desire.BPassage Three/BMost Americans today have some insurance against long-term illness or injury, or the death of the family wage-earner. Nearly all who work, including the self-employed, are covered by retirement programs. Four out of f
47、ive employees now have access to unemployment benefits.The Social Security law, which covers more than 90 percent of the work force, provides a national system of payments in old age and disability benefits. Over the years the law has been broadened to give greater protection in all categories.The S
48、ocial Security system is financed through a tax paid by workers and their employers during the years of employment. Self-employed persons, who also pay into the system, are covered as well. When workers retire at age 65, they receive monthly payments on a scale to their previous earnings; reduced benefits am paid to those retiring at ages 62 through 64. Benefits are also paid to nonworking widows and widowers, to children under 18 and to dependent parents. More than 35 million people currently receive these monthly payments.
