The English golden rule“, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you“, instructs people how to (34) with others insi

15、de and outside the home. The Mexican golden rule, “Between individuals, as between nations, respect (35) other peoples rights means peace, “likewise instruct people how to behave with others. Perhaps because all cultures are equally concerned (36) their childrens manners, we find many (37) similarit

In America, the family emphasizes independence and teaches children how to take (39) of themselves. This lesso

17、n often includes a warning (40) they cant believe everyone and should be wary of strangers. Children are taught what to do, how to use the phone, and (41) to call for help in (42) of emergency or trouble with a stranger. (43) Mexicans are not as wary of strangers, they also tell their children to be

20、y them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 Why does the Western movie especially have such a hold on our imagination? Chiefly, I think, because it offers serious insights into the problem of violence such as can be found almost nowhere in our culture. One of the well-kn

21、own peculiarities of modern civilized opinion is its refusal to acknowledge the value of violence. This refusal is virtue, but like many virtues it involves a certain willful blindness and it encourages hypocrisy. We train ourselves to be shocked or bored by cultural images of violence, and our very

22、 concept of heroism tends to be a passive one: we are less drawn to the brave young men who kill large numbers of our enemies than to the heroic prisoners who endure torture without capitulating. And in the criticism of popular culture, the presence of images of violence is often assumed to be in it

23、self a sufficient ground for condemnation.These attitudes, however, have not reduced the element of violence in our culture but have helped to free it from moral control by letting it take on the aura of “emancipation“. The celebration of acts of violence is left more and more to the irresponsible.

24、The gangster movie, with its numerous variations, belongs to a cultural “underground“ which glamorizes violence and sets it against all our higher social attitudes. It is more “modern“ genre than the Western movie, perhaps even more profound, because it confronts industrial society on its own ground

25、the cityand because, like much of our advanced art, it gains its effects by a gross insistence on its own narrow logic. But it is anti-social, resting on fantasies of irresponsible freedom. If we are brought finally to acquiesce in the denial of these fantasies, it is only because they have been sho

26、wn to be dangerous, not because they have given way to higher values of behaviour.In war movies, to be sure, it is possible to present violence within a framework of responsibility. But there is the disadvantage that modern war is a co-operative enterprise in which violence is largely impersonal and

27、 heroism belongs to the group more than to the individual. The hero of a war movie is most often simply a leader, and his superiority is likely to be expressed in a denial of the heroic: you are not supposed to be brave, you are supposed to get the job done and stay alive (this too, of course, is a

28、kind of heroic posture, but a newand “practical“one). At its best, the war movie may represent a more civilized point of view than the Western, and if it, were not continually marred by ideological sentimentality we might hope to find it developing into a higher form of drama. But it cannot supply v

29、alues we seek in the Western movies.These values are in the image of a single man who wears a gun on his thigh. The gun tells us that he lives in a world of violence, and even that he “believes in violence“. But the drama is one of selfrestraint: the moment of violence must come in its own time and

30、according to its special laws, or else it is valueless. He is there to remind us of the possibility of style in an age which has put on itself the burden of pretending that style has no meaning, and, in the midst of oar anxieties over the problem of violence, to suggest that even in killing or being

31、 killed we are not freed from the necessity of establishing satisfactory models of behaviour.51 The reason given for our acceptance of a gangsters downfall is our being convinced that _.（A）his behavior is wrong（B） he is a threat to society（C） his aspirations are unrealistic（D）he represents a denial

32、of freedom52 Violence in modern societies is seen, it is claimed in paragraph 2, as _.（A）a symbol of freedom（B） something sacred（C） morally controlled（D）basic to our culture53 The word “acquiesce“ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _.（A）acceptance（B） refusal（C） devotion（D）giving up54 W

33、ar films present the hero as _.（A）pragmatic（B） impersonal（C） unheroic（D）posturing55 The image of the Western hero is intended to show us that _.（A）violence need not cause us concern（B） killing and death are not important（C） our modern age is lacking in style（D）there is always a need for standards56

34、Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy and stagnation. Too much conflict leads to divisiveness and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.Recent research

35、 by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit seeking organizations and other for not

36、-for-profit organizations.Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promot

37、ed higher quality decision-making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision-making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these resul

38、ts in terms of the criteria for effective decision-making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.In the not-f

39、or-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents, the executives perceived that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.56 I

40、n the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is _.（A）oversimplified（B） misleading（C） wrong（D）unclear57 Professor Charles R. Schwenks research shows _.（A）the advantages and disadvantages of conflict（B） the difficulty in determining optimal level of conflict（C） the Complexity of defining

41、 the roles of conflict（D）the real value of conflict58 We can learn from Schwenks research that _.（A）it is impossible for people to avoid conflict（B） different people resolve conflicts in different ways（C） conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizations（D）a persons view of conflict is

42、influenced by th6 purpose of his organization59 The passage suggests that in for-profit organizations _.（A）decisions must be justifiable（B） expression of different opinions is encouraged（C） success lies in general agreement（D）there is no end of conflict60 People working in a not-for-profit organizat

43、ion _.（A）find it easier to reach agreement（B） seem to be difficult to satisfy（C） are less effective in making decisions（D）are free to express diverse opinions61 Steve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, over-colorful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so

44、 many women writers, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied in university, and he had been a particularly good student, and he had never afterw

45、ards let any academic knowledge he had achieved interfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husbands ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him she was not historically minded.Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship

46、with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved. It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice. But she wondered whether Steve would, before lo

47、ng, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage. They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that was Steves idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought

48、he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other hand, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have dinner with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she wo

49、uld like that.61 What was Steves attitude towards women who wrote love stories?（A）He would have liked to earn as much money as they did.（B） He was afraid of being compared unfavourably with them.（C） He did not think he could write about the same subjects.（D）He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.62 What did Helen have to be careful to hide?（A）Her lack of interest in history.（B） Her low opinion of her husbands writing.（C） Her dislike of her husbands admirers.（D）Her inability to understand hi
