For each numbered blank there a

12、re four choices marked A, B, C and D. choices the best one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 21 One of the most eminent of psychologists, Clark Hull, claimed that the essence of reasoning lies in the putting together of two behavior segments in some novel way, never actually performed before,

13、 so as to reach a goal. Two followers of Clark Hull, Howard and Tracey Kendler, (21) a test for children that was explicitly based on Clark Hulls principles. The children were given the (22) of learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go through a two-stage (

14、23) . The children were trained on each stage (24) . The stages consisted merely of pressing the correct one of two buttons to get a marble; and of (25) the marble into a small hole to release the toy. The Kendlers found that the children could learn the separate bits readily enough. (26) the task o

15、f getting a marble by pressing the button they could get the marble; given the task of getting a toy when a marble was handed to them, they could use the marble. (All they had to do was put it in a hole.) (27) they did not for the most part integrate, to use the Kendlers terminology. They did not pr

16、ess the button to get the marble and then (28) without further help to use the marble to get the toy. So the Kendlers concluded that they were incapable of deductive (29) . The mystery at first appears to deepen when we learn, from (30) psychologist, Michael Cole, and his colleagues, that adults in

17、an African culture apparently cannot do the Kendlers task either. But it lessens, (31) when we learn that a task was devised which was (32) to the Kendlers one but much easier for the African males to handle. (33) the button-pressing machine, Cole used a locked box and two (34) colored match-boxes,

18、one of which contained a key that would open the box. Notice that there are still two (35) segments-“open the right matchbox to get the key“ and “use the key to open the box“-so the task seems formally to be (36) But psychologically it is quite different. Now the subject is dealing not with a strang

19、e machine but with familiar meaningful objects; and it is clear to him what he is meant to do. It then (37) that the difficulty of integration is greatly reduced. Recent work by Simon Hewson is of great interest here for it shows that, for young children, (38) , the difficulty lies not in the (39) p

20、rocesses which the task demands, but in certain perplexing features of the apparatus and the procedure. When these are changed in ways which do not at all affect the inferential nature of the problem, then five-year-old children solve the problem (40) college students did in the Kendlers own experim

21、ents. （ A） devised （ B） made （ C） did （ D） produced （ A） work （ B） duty （ C） task （ D） obligation （ A） consequence （ B） sequence （ C） result （ D） order （ A） exclusively （ B） completely （ C） fully （ D） separately （ A） inferring （ B） importing （ C） inserting （ D） imagining （ A） Given （ B） Appointed （

25、 Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 41 For the first time, stem cells purified from fat have been used to heal an injury in a living animal. Michael Longaker of Stanford University in California and

26、 his team showed in mouse experiments that so-called adipose derived adult stromal (ADAS) cells purified from a rodents belly fat could be coaxed to heal a skull fracture too large to mend by itself. The power of ADAS cells to transform into bone, cartilage and even neurons has been studied for year

27、s in test tubes. But Jeffrey Gimble, who studies human ADAS cells at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge says Longakers report is an important step forward. “Actually repairing a defect in an animal model had never been done. This is an excellent study.“ If the same technique works in humans,

28、these cells could be coaxed to mend broken bones and correct other defects in tens of thousands of surgical procedures each year in which bone grafts and prosthetics are now necessary. Longakers group tested the ability of ADAS cells to heal four-millimetre-long fractures surgically-induced in the s

29、kulls of mice. In 12 weeks, the cells filled 70 to 90 per cent of the defects, while untreated animals had only unorganized bone formation in less than 10 per cent of the fractures. No extreme genetic manipulation or treatment of the cells was necessary. ADAS cells began manufacturing bone when they

30、 were simply laid onto a biodegradable polymer that contained apatite, a compound that naturally occurs in bone. Furthermore, the ADAS cells performed as well as bone marrow stromal cells, which would seem to be more natural architects of bone. It remains to be seen whether human ADAS cells will bui

31、ld bone as effectively. But researchers are excited about the prospects. Human bone marrow stromal cells are already being used in clinical trials as sources of skeleton-building material, but the ADAS cells may have some significant advantages. Longaker reports that ADAS cells grow seven times fast

32、er than the bone marrow cells in the laboratory. And it is relatively easy to harvest more than a litre of fat tissue, even from patients who are not obese. Bone marrow is much less plentiful and must be removed in a painful surgical procedure. Of course, liposuction itself is not a pleasant operati

33、on. But according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 300,000 people volunteered to have the procedure in 2003 simply for cosmetic reasons. “If the procedure was the first step to healing broken bones or replacing other tissue its popularity could only grow,“ says Gimble. “Just th

34、ink of that.“ 41 Gimble speaks highly of Longaker in that _. （ A） his work made an unprecedented achievement in the field （ B） he proved that ADAS cells contributed a lot to cell therapy （ C） his work paved way for ADAS cell application in clinical trials （ D） he cured an animal defect that had neve

35、r been repaired before 42 As to ADAS cells, which of the following is NOT localized in laboratory? （ A） They are easy to operate. （ B） Their abstraction causes no pains. （ C） They grow fast. （ D） Their yields are large. 43 We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _. （ A） ADAS cells are efficient in clinic

36、al application （ B） ADAS cells act as naturally as marrow cells （ C） ADAS cells can build bone formation orderly （ D） ADAS cells therapy will replace genetic treatment 44 According to Gimble, liposuction will probably be used for _. （ A） losing weight （ B） keeping fit （ C） abstracting ADAS cells （ D

37、） transplanting organ 45 The best title for the passage might be _. （ A） Bright Future of ADAS Cells （ B） A Potential Repairing Technique （ C） Advantaged ADAS Cells （ D） Application of ADAS Cells 46 In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a

38、means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects

39、appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence-as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear coll

40、ars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinct remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sh

41、eer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering means nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despi

42、sed, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and

43、providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social program. The benef

44、its that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law. Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciat

45、e each others problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. “Talk, talk, talk,“ the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.“ Its rather like the story of the famous barrister who painst

46、akingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possibly, my Lord,“ the barrister replied, “none the wiser, but surely far better informed.“ Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the kn

47、owledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve. 46 What is the best title for this passage? （ A） Advocating Violence. （ B） Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice. （ C） Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution. （ D） The Instincts of Human Race Are

48、 Thirsty for Violence. 47 According to the passage, recorded history has taught us _. （ A） violence never solves anything （ B） nothing （ C） the bloodshed means nothing （ D） everything 48 It can be inferred that truly reasonable men _. （ A） cant get a hearing （ B） are looked down upon （ C） are persec

49、uted （ D） have difficulty in advocating law enforcement 49 The sentence “He was none the wiser“ (Paragraph 3) probably means _. （ A） he was not at all wise in listening （ B） he was not at all wiser than nothing before （ C） he gains nothing after listening （ D） he makes no sense of the argument 50 According to the author the best way to solve race prejudice is _. （ A） law enforcement （ B） knowledge （ C） nonviolence （ D） moppi
