8、d at二、B第 2 部分：阅读判断/B(总题数：1，分数：7.00)阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出 7 个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。BHierarchy/BCulture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, beliefs, and ways of life of a given group of human beings. In this sense every group has a culture however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem t

9、o us.To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting larg

10、ely of grunts (呼噜声) and groans (呻吟). While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward“ languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe

11、standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect th

12、e objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: (1) All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them

13、to their own system. (2)The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward“ languages; while different form ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this“ and “that“); some languages of th

14、e American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed indepen

20、ear after year, they have only themselves to blame.

Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of th

21、e change of fashion.

23、tes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comport and durability.

24、 There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. D

30、B(总题数：1，分数：15.00)BReligious belief and health/BReligious beliefs are not always a source of comfort during iii health: they may actually increase your risk of dying.A study of nearly 600 older hospital patients, 95 percent of whom were Christian, showed negative feelings evoked by religious beliefs

31、sometimes predicted mortality.Key factors that increased the risk of death were feelings of being “abandoned or punished“ by God, “believing the devil caused the illness“, or “feeling abandoned by ones faith community“, the study by researchers at Duke University Medical Centre and Bowling Green Sta

32、te University showed.“The study reminds us that religion. can, at times, be a source of problems in it self, “says lead author Kenneth Pargament.Several studies have demonstrated a reduced risk of death among those who attend church regularly, but the new research, published in todays Archives of In

33、ternal Medicine, is the first to examine negative aspects of religiousness.Patients who reported feeling alienated from God or who blamed the devil had a 19 to 28 percent increased risk of dying during the following two years, say the researchers, who found no association between gender, race, diagn

34、osis, brain function, independence, depression, or quality of life with mortality.Duke Universitys Dr Harold Koenig said anger and frustration were normal grief responses when people discovered health problems. Those who were religious and were able to reconnect with God and their spiritual feeling

35、could use those resources for support. But those who continued to experience conflict could be making their health worse.“Those people are in trouble and doctors need to know about it,“ he said. “Doctors need to be assessing their patients for these kinds of feelings.“ Referral to clergy may then be

36、 helpful.He said more than two-thirds of medical schools in the United States had courses that trained students on how to take a patients spiritual history, a trend that recognized the growing body of evidence about the mind-body connection.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following ideas about religious

42、ously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history, being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process; so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs. This basic chemical knowledge, which was applied in most cases as a rule of t

43、humb (单凭经验来做的方法), was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New in formation was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.The development of a scientific approach to chemist

44、ry was, however, hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition, there were social and intellectual difficulties. Chemistry is nothing if not practical; those who practice it

45、must use their hands, they must have a certain practical flair (鉴别力). Yet in many ancient civilizations, practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this world, where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content of in

46、terest.The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to pre vent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy way the esoteric (深奥的) nature of the

47、 knowledge of alchemists (炼金术士). In one sense, the second of these was the more serious impediment (阻碍) because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language understandable to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure

48、.（分数：15.00）(1).What is the passage mainly about?（分数：3.00）A.The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.B.Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.C.The practical aspects of chemistry.D.Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically.(2).According to the passage, how did know

49、ledge about chemical processes increase be fore the seventeenth century?（分数：3.00）A.Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.B.A special symbolic language was developed.C.Experience led workers to revise their techniques.D.Experts shared their discoveries with the public.(3).The word “hampered“ in line 10 is closest in meaning to _.（分数
