19、feasible五、BPart Reading (总题数：5，分数：25.00)BPassage One/BA person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or
20、he may accept another persons mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be usele
21、ss. He wont go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had and experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic
22、. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isnt it too bad that Alfred cant do arithmetic?“ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, f
23、elt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldnt do arithmetic and was determined to show them th
24、at he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they
25、 have, and that lack of success is often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply ones ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it the result of lack ability.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.A child may accept another persons under
26、estimate of his ability.B.He may think that he is too young to make the most of his mental faculties.C.A person may have the idea that he is incapable of doing good work.D.Some old people dont believe that they are capable of learning anything new.(2).A person who believes in his incompetence will _
27、（分数：1.00）A.make no real effortsB.fail to go at a jobC.show a complete lack of confidenceD.all of the above(3).As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because _（分数：1.00）A.he lost his self-confidenceB.he was mentally retardedC.his teacher had little confidence in himD.his parents expected too mu
28、ch of him(4).Which of the following is the most important factor to Adlers success?（分数：1.00）A.Spirit and experience.B.Interest.C.Confidence and determination.D.Purpose and knowledge.(5).Adlers experience made him realize that _（分数：1.00）A.people are not as capable as they thinkB.people can be more ca
29、pable than they thinkC.lack of knowledge leads to failureD.lack of ability results in lack of determinationBPassage Two/BThe bat is a marvel of evolutionary adaptation. Most of them roost during the day, and are active at night or twilight for they can avoid objects in the dark. I have seen this phe
30、nomenon at work. In my youth I used to explore old mining shafts in the Randsburg district. Sometimes my intrusion disturbed clans of bats that were hanging upside down in the dark caves.They would fly about to evident panic, but the panic was mine, not theirs. Some flew crazily out into the dayligh
31、t but some merely returned to their perches. None ever touched me, much to my relief.They may exist but I have never seen a stuffed nylon bat. To children, bats may not be as lovable as koala bears. Perhaps manufacturers do not regard them as marketable. It is not so much their hideous faces and win
32、ged bodies that have caused us to get rid of bats, but rather the ancient myths in which dead humans, such as Count Dracula, leave their graves at night in the form of bats to suck blood from human victims, especially fragile young woman. As we know from some movies these vampires must return to the
33、ir graves before daylight. Endangered young women can frustrate vampire by sleeping with a string of garlic around their necks.There are actually three species of bloodsucking bats. They are called vampire bats after the ancient legends, and their tactics are indeed frightful. Like Count Dracula, th
34、ey feed at night. They make a small cut in their sleeping victim with sharp incisor teeth, usually not even awakening their prey. Then they suck the blood that sustains them.Should that discourage children from wanting them as pets?As Mitchell notes from the New Yorker ad, bats are clean and intelli
35、gent. Most of them are insect-eaters, and they serve nature by destroying crop-damaging insects. They also pollinate (传授花粉) flowers and spreading seed.Bat Conservation International claims that without bats a host of insects/pests would multiply unchecked and many of our planets most valuable plants
36、 would go unpollinated.It is clear that the bat is our friend, and that, despite its appearance, it is here to serve humanity.Id be the first to buy a stuffed nylon bat. Childrens hearts are big, and bats need love, too.（分数：5.00）(1).What does the author mean by saying that “the panic was mine“?（分数：1
37、.00）A.In great panic, the bats were driven out of the cave.B.I was greatly scared by the unexpected view of the hideous flying mammals.C.The bats were too tiny to cause panic.D.The bats moved reluctantly from where they stayed.(2).According to the passage, vampire bats _（分数：1.00）A.live on the blood
38、of living creaturesB.are believed to be fond of delicate womenC.never ever fly in the daylightD.are the evil spirit of Count Dracula(3).The toy companies are rarely interested in making a toy bat probably because _（分数：1.00）A.bats destroy crop-damaging insectsB.bats are the marvel of evolution adapta
39、tionC.bats suck the blood of dying peopleD.bats inspire disgust based on some traditional beliefs(4).A string of garlic is described as being useful for endangered women _（分数：1.00）A.to locate the batsB.to keep off the batsC.to kill the batsD.to poison the bats(5).The author agrees that the bat in ge
40、neral is _（分数：1.00）A.unhelpfulB.harmfulC.ugly-lookingD.marketableBPassage Three/BOur culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from
41、the Philippines to ones side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked the items GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find o
42、ut that “gift“ means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic (语言上的) and cultural blind
43、ness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information s
44、igns in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have dif
45、ficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives-usually the richer -who speak English. Our business deals, as well as the nations diplomacy, are conducted thr
46、ough interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, a
47、nd we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs, we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may
48、not always be the upper hand.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably _（分数：1.00）A.stand stillB.step backC.jump asideD.step forward(2).The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their _（分数：1.00）A.casual manners
49、B.cultural self-centerednessC.awareness of other culturesD.indifference towards foreign visitors(3).In countries other than their own most Americans _（分数：1.00）A.need interpreters in hotels and restaurants.B.tend to get along well with the nativesC.are not well informed due to the language barrierD.are isolated by the local people(4).According t
