33、 Cadwallader六、Part Cloze(总题数：1，分数：10.00)No one had ever believed him, that one summer evening he had wandered on to the docks, under the legs of the biggest crane, and climbed the steel ladder, up, up, and up into the swaying heights of the counterweights and control house. The view over the city ha

34、d been inspiring-the smoking derelict docklands, with miles of king-fisher-walled warehouses; the sun-tinted towers of distant churches; the cars, like insects, creeping one after the other along the expressway. Clinging (46) the drifting girders, he felt like the most successful man in the w (47) .

35、 He crawled, monkey-fashion, along the steel lacework of the jib until he crouched, hundreds of feet up, above the wrinkling khaki river. A flock of sunstruck pigeons whirled in harmony around the control house roof. It was so perfect that he knew he could do it. He stood up, balancing against the b

36、reeze, feeling on (48) of the world. Slowly he raised his hands above his head, c (49) glance upwards into the icy sky, then, just before he lost his balance, he chose to rise on tiptoe and launch himself into a taut dive. He tipped off the jib and began to tilt through the sunset. The sound which c

37、ame from him was an involuntary shriek of pure joy-he cared neither if he lived (50) if he died. His body, pointed like a shuttle, wove a slow circle through the air, hurtling ever downwards to the peaky grey surface. By chance, his dive had him angled perfectly to enter the water with a splashless

38、“glup“ at some dangerously high velocity. The shock-of the water stopping his flight, and of the vicious cold, (51) (prevent) him from realizing immediately that he was still alive. His clothing dragged in the dark water and he started to fight his way upward to the dull light above. Disbelieving an

39、d (52) (stun), he gasped as he broke the surface, returning to an almost unchanged peachy evening. The impetus of his dive still with him, he floundered in his shoes and jacket to the nearest quayside ladder and clambered up the vertical green wall. Once on the quay, he squeezed the edges of his jac

40、ket and emptied his shoes. He looked up to the monstrous structure towering above him and (53) (scarce) believed that hed actually dived from yon threadlike piece of latticework. Yet he was certainly soaking and he remembered the exhilaration of his descent. He looked a (54) to see if there had been

41、 any witnesses to his dive. The docks remained silent and deserted as rust-coloured sunlight flooded the area. Consequently, when he told anyone hed dived off the biggest of the dockland cranes into the Clyde, and just for f (55) , no one believed him. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空

42、项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Part Reading Compe(总题数：4，分数：20.00)Section A Eysencks research strategy begins by dividing the elements of personality into various units that can be arranged hierarchically. The basic structure in this scheme is the specific response level, which consists of specif

43、ic behaviors. For example, if we watch a man spend the afternoon talking and laughing with friends, we would be observing a specific response. If this man spends many afternoons each week having a good time with friends, we have evidence for the second level in Eysencks model, a habitual response. B

44、ut it is likely that this man doesnt limit himself to socializing just in the afternoon and just with these friends. Suppose this man also devotes a large part of his weekends and quite a few evenings to his social life. If you watch long enough, you might find that he lives for social gatherings, d

45、iscussion groups, parties, and so on. You might conclude, in Eysencks terms, that this person exhibits the trait of sociability. Finally, Eysenck argues that traits such as sociability are part of a still larger dimension of personality. That is, people who are sociable also tend to be impulsive, ac

46、tive, lively, and excitable. All these traits combine to form the supertrait Eysenck calls extraversion. How many of these supertraits are there? Originally, Eysencks factor analytic research yielded evidence for two basic dimensions that could subsume all other traits: extraversion-introversion and

47、 neuroticism. Because the dimensions are independent of one another, people who score on the extraversion end of the first dimension can score either high or low on the second dimension. Further, someone who scores high on extraversion and low on neuroticism possesses different traits than does a pe

48、rson who scores high on both extraversion and neuroticism. Where do you suppose you fall in this model? If you are the prototypic extravert, then Eysenck describes you as “outgoing, impulsive and uninhibited, having many social contacts and frequently taking part in group activities“. An introvert is “a quiet, retiring sort of person, introspective, fond of books rather than people“. Of course, most people fall somew
