15、ut it, and held on to it as tight as I could. It snatched the roof off, and pulled the mattress up, and pulled all the kids up. I saw them go up; at the same time the walls fell; my wife was holding on to me, fell over and sliding with the house. The trailer I guess blew up on this thing, and slid o

27、4.BTEXT B/BThat man is an aggressive creature will hardly be disputed. With the exception of certain rodents, no other vertebrate habitually destroys members of his own species. No other animal takes positive pleasure in the exercise of cruelty upon another of his own kind. We generally describe the

28、 most disgusting examples of mans cruelty as brutal, implying by these adjectives that such behavior is characteristic of less highly developed animals than ourselves. In truth, however, the extremes of “brutal“ behavior are confined to man; and there is no parallel in nature to our savage treatment

29、 of each other. The depressing fact is that we are the cruelest and most ruthless species that has ever walked the earth; and that, although we may shrink back in horror when we read in newspaper or history book of the brutalities committed by man upon man, we know in our hearts that each one of us

30、harbors within ourselves those same savage impulses which lead to murder, to torture and to war.To write about human aggression is a difficult task because the term is used in so many different senses. Aggression is one of those words which every one knows, but which is nevertheless hard to define.

31、As psychologists use it, it covers a very wide range of human behavior. The red-faced infant squalling for the bottle is being aggressive; and so is the judge who awards a thirty-year sentence for robbery. The guard in a concentration camp who tortures his helpless victim is obviously acting aggress

32、ively. Less manifestly, but no less certainly, so is the neglected wife who threatens or attempts suicide in order to regain her husbands affection. When a word becomes so diffusely applied that it is used both of the competitive striving of a footballer and also of the bloody violence of a murderer

33、, it ought either to be dropped or else more closely defined. Aggression is a combined term which is fairly bursting at its junctions. Yet until we can more clearly designate and comprehend the various aspects of human behavior which are subsumed under this head, we cannot discard the concept.One di

34、fficulty is that there is no clear dividing line between those forms of aggression which we all deplore and those which we must not disown if we are to survive. When a child rebels against authority it is being aggressive; but it is also manifesting a drive towards independence which is a necessary

35、and valuable part of growing up. The desire for power has, in extreme form, disastrous aspects which we all acknowledged but the drive to conquer difficulties, or to gain mastery over the external world underlies the greatest of human achievements. Some writers define aggression as “that response wh

36、ich follows frustration“, or as “an act whose goal- response is injury to an organism (or organism surrogate)“. In the authors view these definitions impose limits upon the concept of aggression which are not in accord with the underlying facts of human nature which the word is attempting to express

37、. It is worth noticing, for instance, that the words we use to describe intellectual effort are aggressive words. We attack problems, or get our teeth into them. We master a subject when we have struggled with and overcome its difficulties. We sharpen our wits, hoping that our mind will develop a ke

38、en edge in order that we may better divide a problem into its component parts. Although intellectual tasks are often frustrating, to argue that all intellectual effort is the result of frustration is to impose too negative a coloring upon the positive impulse to comprehend and master the external wo

39、rld.（分数：4.00）(1).In the authors view, man is unique in _.（分数：1.00）A.his savage treatment of his own kindB.enjoying watching disgusting acts of violenceC.gaining pleasure from brutally treating animals.D.his strong impulse to tackle intellectual problems(2).According to the author, the concept of “ag

40、gression“ _.（分数：1.00）A.is hard to define because it has been used by various disciplinesB.covers both deplorable and necessary behaviorsC.should be dropped altogetherD.should be better expressed by a different term(3).Which of the following is NOT true of intellectual effort?（分数：1.00）A.It is often d

41、escribed by aggressive words.B.It is a drive to gain control of the external world.C.It often leads to futile results.D.It is the result of frustration.(4).This passage is probably taken from an article on _.（分数：1.00）A.mans brutalities upon manB.definition of aggressionC.aggression underlying human

42、behaviorsD.mans drive to master the external worldBTEXT C/BFor a long time we have worked hard at isolating the individual family. This has increased the mobility of individuals; and by encouraging young families to break away from the older generation and the home community, we have been able to sp

43、eed up the acceptance of change and the rapid spread of innovative behavior. But at the same time we have burdened every small family with tremendous responsibilities once shared within three generations and among a large number of peoplethe nurturing of small children, the initiation of adolescents

44、 into adulthood, and care of the sick and disabled and the protection of the aged. What we have failed to realize is that even as we have separated the single family from the larger society, we have expected each couple to take on a range of obligations that traditionally have been shared within a f

45、amily and a wider community.So all over the world there are millions of families left alone, as it were, each in its own box parents faced with the specter of what may happen if either one gets sick, children fearful that their parents may end their quarrels with divorce, and empty-handed old people

46、 without any role in the life of the next generation.Then, having reduced little by little to almost nothing the relationship between families and the community, when families get into trouble because they cannot accomplish the impossible, we turn their problems over to impersonal social agencies, w

47、hich can act only in a fragmented way because they are limited to patchwork programs that often are too late to accomplish what is most needed.Individuals and families do get some kind of help, but what they learn and what those who work hard within the framework of social agencies convey, even as t

48、hey try to help, is that families should be able to care for themselves.（分数：3.00）(1).According to the author, when young families are isolated, _.（分数：1.00）A.old people can easily accept the changeB.people can move from place to placeC.individuals can hardly become innovativeD.economy develops at high speed(2).What is said to be the major problem facing young couples?（分数：1.00）A.They need to fulfill more duties.B.They are incapable of balancing the budget.C.They hav
