18、or them to not have二、Proofreading(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Before 1973, abortion was illegal in America unless the woman“s health was threatened. In March of 1970, Jame Roe, a single woman, instituted this federal action against the District attorney of the county. The original idea was that women who truly d

19、id not want a baby should not have to have it. 1 Since pregnancy may be a blessed act when planned or wanted, 2forced pregnancy, like any forced bodily invasion, is anathema toAmerican values and traditions. As legalized abortion has become aneveryday part of American life, a different side to it ha

20、s emerged out. 3 Where women once were aborting because they did not want achild, the reasons being given now were becoming very different. 4 Abortion has turned into something that women are being coercedfrom boyfriends/husbands unwilling to be fathers, out of fear 5of the financial pressure, out o

21、f panic from losing their jobs, out ofpanic from having to quit the school, or becoming homeless, or out 6of fear of their parents kicking them out into the street. Abortion for these reasons can lead to problems which developwhen a woman is unable to get round her emotional responses resul- 7ting f

22、rom the trauma of an abortion. There are women who abort anddo so completely of her own free will. These women have no regrets, 8no remorse, but are happy they had this choice available. But 9a growing number of women are speaking up about how abortioneffected them adversely. 10（分数：20.00）填空项 1:_填空项

While progress toward maturity is positively correlated with

24、differentiation between motivation and cognition, tension will, even in the mature adult, militate towards a narrowing of the range of perception and in the lessening of the objectivity of perception. Cognition can be seen as the first step in the sequence of events leading from the external stimulu

25、s to the behavior of the individual. The child develops from belief that all things are an extension of its own body to the recognition that objects exist independent of his perception. He begins to demonstrate awareness of people and things which are removed from his sensory apparatus and initiates

26、 goal directed behaviors. He may, however, refuse to recognize the existence of barriers to the attainment of his goals, despite the fact that his cognition of these objects has been previously demonstrated. In the primitive being, goal-directed behavior can be very simply motivated. The presence of

27、 an attractive object will cause an infant to reach for it; its removal will result in the cessation of that action. Studies have shown no evidence of the infant“s frustration; rather, it appears that the infant ceases to desire the object when he cannot see it. Further indications are that the infa

28、nt“s attention to the attractive object increases as a result of its not being in his grasp. In fact, if he holds a toy and another is presented, he is likely to drop the first in order to clutch the second. Often, once he has the one desired in his hands, he loses attention and turns to something e

29、lse. In adult life, mere cognition can be similarly motivational, although the visible presence of the opportunity is not required as the instigator of response. The mature adult modifies his reaction by obtaining information, interpreting it, and examining consequences. He formulates a hypothesis a

30、nd attempts to test it. He searches out implicit relationships, examines all factors, and differentiates among them. Just as the trained artist can separate the values of colour, composition, and technique , while taking in and evaluating the whole work, so, too, the mature person brings his cogniti

31、ve learning strengths to bear in appraising a situation. Understanding that cognition is separate from action, his reactions are only minimally guided from conditioning, and take into consideration anticipatable events. The impact of the socialization process, particularly which of parental and soci

32、al group ideology , may reduce cognitively directed behavior. The tension thus produced, as for instance the stress of fear, anger, or extreme emotion, will often be the overriding influence. The evolutionary process of development from body schema through to cognitive learning is similarly manifest

33、ed in the process of language acquisition. Auditing and speaking develop first, reading and writing much later on. Not only is this evident in the development of the individual human being from infancy on, but also in the development of language for humankind. Every normal infant has the physiologic

34、al equipment necessary to produce sound, but the child must first master their use for sucking, biting, and chewing before he can control his equipment for use in producing the sounds of language. The babble and chatter of the infant are precursors to intelligible vocal communication. From the earli

35、est times, it is clear that language and human thought have been intimately connected. Sending or receiving messages, from primitive warnings of danger to explaining creative or reflective thinking, this aspect of cognitive development is also firmly linked to the needs and aspirations of society.（分

41、ve the infant what he needs before he criesB.teach the infant how to speak as quickly as possibleC.model speech sounds and encourage the infant to produce themD.refuse the infant“s demands until he makes them clearIn a reaction against a too-rigid, overrefined classical curriculum, some educational

42、philosophers have swung sharply to an espousal of “life experience“ as the sole source of learning. Using their narrow interpretation of John Dewey“s theories as a base for support, they conclude that only through “doing“ can learning take place. Spouting such phrases as, “Teach the child, not the s

43、ubject. “ they demand, without sensing its absurdity, and end to rigorous study as a means of opening the way to learning. While not all adherents to this approach would totally eliminate a study of great books, the influence of this philosophy has been felt in the public school curricula, as eviden

44、ced by the gradual subordination of great literature. What is the purpose of literature? Why read, if life alone is to be our teacher? James Joyce states that the artist reveals the human situation by recreating life out of life; Aristotle that art presents universal truths because its form is taken

45、 from nature. Thus, consciously or otherwise, the great writer reveals the human situation most tellingly, extending our understanding of ourselves and our world. We can soar with the writer to the heights of man“s aspirations, or plummet with him to tragic despair. The works of Steinbeck, Anderson,

46、 and Salinger; the poetry of Whitman, Sandburg, and Frost; the plays of Ibsen, Miller, and O“Neil: all present starkly realistic portrayals of life“s problems. Reality? Yes! But how much wider is the understanding we gain than that attained by viewing life through the keyhole of our single existence

47、. Can we measure the richness gained by the young reader venturing down the Mississippi with Tom and Huck, or cheering Ivanhoe as he battles the Black Knight; the deepening understanding of the mature reader of the tragic South of William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, of the awesome determination

48、and frailtyof Patrick White“s Australian pioneers? This function of literature, the enlarging of our own life sphere, is of itself of major importance. Additionally, however, it has been suggested that solutions of social problems may be suggested in the study of literature. The overweening ambitions of political leadersand their sneering contempt for the lawdid not appear for the first time in the writings of Bernstein and Woodward; the problems, and the consequent actions, of the guilt-ridden d
