In March of 1970, Jame Roe, a single woman, i

18、nstituted this federal action against the District attorney of the county. The original idea was that women who truly did not want a baby should not have to have it. 【M1 】_Since pregnancy may be a blessed act when planned or wanted, 【M2 】_forced pregnancy, like any forced bodily invasion, is anathem

19、a toAmerican values and traditions. As legalized abortion has become aneveryday part of American life, a different side to it has emerged out. 【M3 】_Where women once were aborting because they did not want achild, the reasons being given now were becoming very different. 【M4 】_Abortion has turned in

23、tion of the external world does not always remain independent of motivation. While progress toward maturity is positively correlated with differentiation between motivation and cognition, tension will, even in the mature adult, militate towards a narrowing of the range of perception and in the lesse

24、ning of the objectivity of perception.Cognition can be seen as the first step in the sequence of events leading from the external stimulus to the behavior of the individual. The child develops from belief that all things are an extension of its own body to the recognition that objects exist independ

25、ent of his perception. He begins to demonstrate awareness of people and things which are removed from his sensory apparatus and initiates goal directed behaviors. He may, however, refuse to recognize the existence of barriers to the attainment of his goals, despite the fact that his cognition of the

26、se objects has been previously demonstrated.In the primitive being, goal-directed behavior can be very simply motivated. The presence of an attractive object will cause an infant to reach for it; its removal will result in the cessation of that action. Studies have shown no evidence of the infants f

27、rustration; rather, it appears that the infant ceases to desire the object when he cannot see it. Further indications are that the infants attention to the attractive object increases as a result of its not being in his grasp. In fact, if he holds a toy and another is presented, he is likely to drop

28、 the first in order to clutch the second. Often, once he has the one desired in his hands, he loses attention and turns to something else.In adult life, mere cognition can be similarly motivational, although the visible presence of the opportunity is not required as the instigator of response. The m

29、ature adult modifies his reaction by obtaining information, interpreting it, and examining consequences. He formulates a hypothesis and attempts to test it. He searches out implicit relationships, examines all factors, and differentiates among them. Just as the trained artist can separate the values

30、 of colour, composition, and technique , while taking in and evaluating the whole work, so, too, the mature person brings his cognitive learning strengths to bear in appraising a situation.Understanding that cognition is separate from action, his reactions are only minimally guided from conditioning

31、, and take into consideration anticipatable events.The impact of the socialization process, particularly which of parental and social group ideology , may reduce cognitively directed behavior. The tension thus produced, as for instance the stress of fear, anger, or extreme emotion, will often be the

32、 overriding influence.The evolutionary process of development from body schema through to cognitive learning is similarly manifested in the process of language acquisition. Auditing and speaking develop first, reading and writing much later on. Not only is this evident in the development of the indi

33、vidual human being from infancy on, but also in the development of language for humankind.Every normal infant has the physiological equipment necessary to produce sound, but the child must first master their use for sucking, biting, and chewing before he can control his equipment for use in producin

34、g the sounds of language. The babble and chatter of the infant are precursors to intelligible vocal communication.From the earliest times, it is clear that language and human thought have been intimately connected. Sending or receiving messages, from primitive warnings of danger to explaining creati

35、ve or reflective thinking, this aspect of cognitive development is also firmly linked to the needs and aspirations of society.51 It can be inferred from this passage that the author would support the attitude towards art appreciation that_.（A）a work of art should not be analyzed（B） analysis of a wor

36、k of art makes for greater understanding of it（C） understanding the life of the artist helps us to understand his work（D）all mature people can understand art equally well52 The statement which is neither implied nor stated in this passage is_.（A）The child is concerned only with his own body（B） The c

37、hild learns to act in a way that will serve his desires（C） The infants attention can be distracted from an object by simply concealing it（D）The infant finds it difficult to focus attention on more than one object at a time53 It may be inferred from the passage that the effects of society on learning

38、 may be_.（A）to enhance the individuals motivation to learn as quickly as possible（B） too deter learning by reason of anxiety about possible conflict with ideology（C） to bring mans knowledge within the scope of all（D）to keep all learning at the same stage of development54 The passage implies that_.（A

39、）speech is acquired through direct teaching（B） the infant should be taught not to babble（C） infants who do not chatter will never learn to speak（D）infants are born with the ability to speak but the ability to do so depends upon development of physical functions through non-verbal activities55 It wou

40、ld appear from the passage that it would be useful for the parent of the newborn to_.（A）give the infant what he needs before he cries（B） teach the infant how to speak as quickly as possible（C） model speech sounds and encourage the infant to produce them（D）refuse the infants demands until he makes th

41、em clear55 In a reaction against a too-rigid, overrefined classical curriculum, some educational philosophers have swung sharply to an espousal of “life experience“ as the sole source of learning. Using their narrow interpretation of John Deweys theories as a base for support, they conclude that onl

42、y through “doing“ can learning take place. Spouting such phrases as, “Teach the child, not the subject. “ they demand, without sensing its absurdity, and end to rigorous study as a means of opening the way to learning. While not all adherents to this approach would totally eliminate a study of great

43、 books, the influence of this philosophy has been felt in the public school curricula, as evidenced by the gradual subordination of great literature.What is the purpose of literature? Why read, if life alone is to be our teacher? James Joyce states that the artist reveals the human situation by recr

44、eating life out of life; Aristotle that art presents universal truths because its form is taken from nature. Thus, consciously or otherwise, the great writer reveals the human situation most tellingly, extending our understanding of ourselves and our world.We can soar with the writer to the heights

45、of mans aspirations, or plummet with him to tragic despair. The works of Steinbeck, Anderson, and Salinger; the poetry of Whitman, Sandburg, and Frost; the plays of Ibsen, Miller, and ONeil: all present starkly realistic portrayals of lifes problems. Reality? Yes! But how much wider is the understan

46、ding we gain than that attained by viewing life through the keyhole of our single existence.Can we measure the richness gained by the young reader venturing down the Mississippi with Tom and Huck, or cheering Ivanhoe as he battles the Black Knight; the deepening understanding of the mature reader of

47、 the tragic South of William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, of the awesome determinationand frailtyof Patrick Whites Australian pioneers?This function of literature, the enlarging of our own life sphere, is of itself of major importance. Additionally, however, it has been suggested that solutions

48、of social problems may be suggested in the study of literature. The overweening ambitions of political leadersand their sneering contempt for the lawdid not appear for the first time in the writings of Bernstein and Woodward; the problems, and the consequent actions, of the guilt-ridden did not await the appearance of the bearded psychoanalyst of the twentieth century.Federal Judge Learned Hand has written, “ I venture to believe that it is as important to a judge called upon to pass on a question of constitutional law, to have at least a bowing acquaintance with Thucydides, Gibbon, and
