16、and to determine where we “fit“ in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the

17、unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identi

18、fying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than o

19、thers, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing pr

20、esented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, hut apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses to

21、o come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us _.A. determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB. behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC. protect ourselves in unfamiliar situation

22、sD. make friends with other people（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the writer, people often assume different statuses _.A. in order to identify themselves with othersB. in order to better identify othersC. as their mental processes changeD. as the situation changes（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “app

23、raisal“ (Sentence 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means _.A. involvement B. appreciation C. assessment D. presentation（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it“ refers to “_“.A. fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB. identification of othe

24、r peoples statusesC. selecting ones own statusesD. constant mental process（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince“ (Sentence 3, Paragraph 3), the writer means _.A. different people have different styles of clot

25、hesB. ready-made clothes may need alterationsC. statuses come ready made just like clothesD. our choice of statuses is limited（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts are causing famine and distress in some areas,

26、 and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the wor

27、ldif we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much

28、 as we like in any way we want.Instead, for all used except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in

29、more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions and pumping it to nearby cropland.No matter what steps governments take to provide water mor

30、e efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy

31、.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the real cause of the potential water crisis?A. Only half of the worlds water can be used.B. The world population is increasing faster and faster.C. Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted.D. Humanity has not placed sufficient value on water resources.（

32、分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).As indicated in the passage, the water problem _.A. is already serious in certain parts of the worldB. has been exaggerated by some experts in the fieldC. poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirsD. it underestimated by government organizations at different level

33、s（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the author, the water price should _.A. be reduced to the minimumB. stimulate domestic demandC. correspond to its real valueD. take into account the occurrences of droughts（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to _.A. b

34、uild big lakes to store waterB. construct big pumping stationsC. build small and cheap irrigation systemsD. channel water from nearby rivers to cropland（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).In order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to _.A. guarantee full protection of the environ

35、mentB. centralize the management of water resourcesC. increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levelsD. encourage local and regional protection of water resources（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Every night she listened to her father going around the house, locking the doors and windows. She listened

36、, the back door closed; she could hear the fastener of the kitchen windows click, and the restless pad of his feet going back to try the front door. It wasnt only the outside doors he locked; he locked the empty kitchen too. He was looking something out, but obviously it was something capable of ent

37、ering into his first defenses. He raised his second line all the way up to bed.In fourteen years, she thought unhappily, the house will be his; he had paid twentyfive pounds down and the rest he was paying month by month as rent. “Of course,“ he was in the habit of saying, “Ive improved the property

38、.“ “Yes,“ he repeated, “Ive improved the property,“ looking around for a nail to drive in, a weed to uproot. It was more than a sense of property; it was a sense of honesty. Some people who bought their homes through the society let them go to rack and ruin and then cleared out.She stood with her ea

39、r against the wall, a small, dark, angry, immature figure. There was no more to be heard from the other room; but in her inner ear she still heard the footsteps of a property owner, the tap-tap of a hammer, the scrape of a spade, the whistle of radiator steam, a key turning, a bolt pushed home, the

40、little busy sounds of men building barriers. She stood planning.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is TRUE of the father in the passage?A. He thought a lot about his daughters future.B. He saved a lot of money for his daughter.C. He thought that he was secure.D. He avoided his neighbors on purpose

41、.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From the passage we can see that the father is _.A. kind to his daughter and neighborsB. cruel to his daughter and neighborsC. systematical in his actionsD. careful about his appearance（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, the daughters attitude toward his father is of

42、 _.A. slight dislike B. great disapprovalC. strong love D. grateful acceptance（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following feelings is conveyed in the passage?A. Tenseness. B. Peace. C. Nervousness. D. Happiness.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).All of the following are true EXCEPT that _.A. the father built his

43、defenses carefullyB. some property owners let their homes go worseC. the daughter was thin and very youngD. the father punished the girl when she was young（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.四、Section B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Where Is the News Leading Us?Not long ago I was asked to join in a public symposium on the role of th

44、e American press. Two other speakers were included on the program. The first was a distinguished TV anchorman. The other was the editor of one of the nations leading papers, a newsman to the core-tough, aggressive, and savvy in the ways and means of solid reporting.The purpose of the symposium, as I

45、 understood it, was to scrutinize the obligations of the media and to suggest the best ways to meet those obligations.(1) . Why, he asked, are the newspapers and television news programs so disaster-prone? Why are newsmen and women so attracted to tragedy, violence, failure?The anchorman and editor

46、reacted as though they had been blamed for the existence of bad news. Newsmen and newswomen, they said, are only responsible for reporting the news, not for creating it or modifying it.(2) . The gentleman who had asked it was not blaming them for the distortions in the world. He was just wondering w

47、hy distortions are most reported. The news media seem to operate on the philosophy that all news is bad news. Why? Could it be that the emphasis on downside news is largely the result of traditionthe way newsmen and newswomen are accustomed to respond to daily events?(3) . News is supposed to deal w

48、ith happenings of the past 12 hours24 hours at most. Anything that happens so suddenly, however, is apt to be eruptive. A sniper kills some pedestrians; a terrorist holds 250 people hostage in a plane; OPEC announces a 25 percent increase in petroleum prices; Great Britain devalues by another 10 per

49、cent; a truck conveying radioactive wastes collides with a mobile cement mixer.(4) . Civilization is a lot more than the sum total of its catastrophes. The most important ingredient in any civilization is progress. But progress doesnt happen all at once. It is not eruptive. Generally, it comes in bits and pieces, very little of it clearly visible at any given moment, but all of
