填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following article, me sentences have been removed. For Questions 41～45, choose the most suitable one from the list A～G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. A common problem in human relations is the lack of assertiveness in other words, the inability to express yourself and claim your rights without violating the fights of others. Do not confuse assertiveness with aggressiveness.41)__________. Learning to communicate assertively involves learning to be honest, open and direct. You can learn to speak up, make requests, ask for favors and accept compliments, and also to express negative thoughts (complaints, resentment, criticism, disagreement), reject intimidation, refuse requests, and demand to be left alone.42)__________. In most cultures higher status has traditionally been given to the masculine gender. Over the centuries, women in many societies learned to remain non-assertive, to stay out of the public eye, to keep their voices down, to be discreet and indirect, not to push, and in the end not even to dare to desire. The vast majority of opportunities for public influence—the ability to forge useful relationships other than friendship, speak up in public, create organizations, use force, and hold important positions in government, business, academia, and in the medical and legal field—were long recognized as men's privilege and right. 43)__________. Back in the 1960s modem feminists noted that most American women (and also a fair number of men) were unable to speak up for themselves in the workplace or in personal relationships; they needed help in learning to be assertive. To fill this gap in communication skills, certain colleges, mental health centers and private consultants began to hold "assertiveness training workshops". These early programs were often part of employer-sponsored professional development training that aimed, among other things, to make employees more effective in communicating with customers, with representatives of other firms and with each other. What does assertiveness training inculcate? The idea at its core is to stop being, or sounding, "wishy-washy". Do not apologize needlessly, make excuses, give long explanations or generally beat around the bush. Very often these weak communicative strategies cause the listener to receive a mixed, unclear or sometimes .just plain wrong message. Assertiveness trainers teach you to identify what is really important for you. Then you must work out in advance (if possible) the point you need to make and how best to make it. Deliver the message dearly and directly (but without memorizing sentences, never a good tactic). 44)__________. Remember also that you axe entitled to your feelings. Your true feelings need no justification. However, at the same time, be a good listener listen more often than you speak. Also pay attention to your listener when you are speaking. Be positive. Notice and appreciate the efforts of others. Give credit where credit is due. You are being legitimately assertive when you stand up for your rights in such a way that the rights of others are not violated. Beyond just demanding your fights, you must learn that you can talk about yourself, your feelings, opinions and interests, without being self-conscious. You can accept compliments without embarrassment. You can ask for clarification.45)__________. After all, how does letting bad decisions go unchallenged contribute to making anything better? A. Some people think that assertiveness training turns nice, accommodating people into complainers or calculating manipulators. Not so: it's your right to protect yourself when something seems unfair. Only you know your true discomfort level and emotional needs. No one should be allowed to get away with presuming to think or feel for you. B. Being aggressive is acting in a self-centered, inconsiderate, arrogantly demanding and hostile manner; this is often counterproductive, since many people react by shutting their minds to your ideas. C. You can disagree with someone openly and say no to requests without feeling guilty. You can ask why and question authority, not in order to rebel, but to assume responsibility for your share in controlling a situation. D. This situation began to change significantly in the West about two hundred years ago. Over the past 40 years, the US Congress has made numerous laws forbidding discrimination based on gender. E. The fewer words you use, the greater will be the impact of what you say. Powerful people communicate succinctly and in measured tones, not stridently. Raising your voice makes you sound defensive and angry, not strong. F. Underlying assertiveness training, obviously, is the belief that we are all created equal and should treat each other as equals. If you were taught as a child to assume that your perceptions, opinions, feelings and wants were less important than those of others, you can either go on behaving according to those assumptions or become an assertive adult. G. Many people have difficulty saying "no" to requests or demands. Assertiveness training provides an antidote to fear, shyness, passivity and—ironically even anger, so there is a wide range of situations in which this training can be helpful.

填空题Please translate the following passage into English，and write your English version on the ANSWER SHEET．(西安交通大学2006研，考试科目：基础英语) 起先，她对洗衣机抱怀疑态度，因为它耗费大量的肥皂和热水，还洗不干净衣服。她不禁想起，在小镇的喷水泉边上，她曾是何等的快活。朋友在一起，一边聊天，一边就把所有的衣物都洗得像簇新的一样。可是这架机器似乎使她逐渐地产生好感。因为这毕定是台机器，它就这么自装自卸转个不停。她觉得这真是妙不可言：一台机器竞能记住这么多事情，而且有求必应，随时待命。还有那洗碟子的机器也够妙的。你可以穿着夜间外出的服装，洗盘子的水一点也不会溅湿你的手套。当太太不在家，孩子们上了学，她就先把脏衣服放进洗衣机，把它启动，再把脏盘子放进另一架机器，把它启动，然后把一块嫩嫩的五香火腿小牛肉夹卷放到电动平底煎锅上，把它启动，她就可以坐到客厅的电视机前看电视，两耳听着所有的机器在她周围做工。这使她感到快意，还觉得自己很有主宰力。

填空题Please choose the best sentence from the list after the passage to fill in each of the gaps in the text. There are more sentences than gaps. Relativism amounts to the denial of an objective world about which true and false statements can be made; there is no absolute truth, though there may be many " relative truths". Scientific skepticism in its simplest form denies only that we ever know, in the sense of establishing for certain, whether a statement made by us is absolutely true or false. We know nothing for certain, the ancient skeptics argued, 【K1】______. In supplement, Hume noted that reports of experience, observation and experiment, do not conclusively justify any prediction concerning the future or more generally the unobserved, even if they are held to be so solidly based as to need no justification themselves. This may be regarded as skepticism about induction, the principle by which Bacon famously warranted inference from the known into the unknown. When we abandon the dream of conclusive justification, Hume argued, we must become all the more skeptical about opinions supported only by experience. 【K2】______. Hume"s argument is indeed open to question, though we ought not assume too quickly that his conclusion encourages relativism. Even if skepticism is correct, his argument does not concede anything to relativism, for skepticism does not recommend universal suspension of judgment or the ruinous doctrine that all rational opinion is justified opinion. The level-headed skeptic, the critical rationalist, does not doubt that there is truth to be had, but thinks that it maybe had only by making a lucky guess.【K3】______. Remorseless though the logic is, it is at this point that reasonable people ask in incredulity: can it be seriously maintained that present-day science is simply a more widely accepted form of study of UFOs, dianetics, and similar unseemly charlatanism?【K4】______. But science is more than the sum of its hypotheses, its observations, and its experiments, for from the point of view of rationality, science is above the critical method of searching for errors. 【K5】______, though if they are designed to be unassailable and unfalsifiable, then unassailed and unfalsified they doubtlessly remain. Consequently, though a hypothesis that survives all criticism directed at it is preferable to a hypothesis that dies, it does not become a better hypothesis through being tested. A. though scientific hypotheses are not untrustworthy or unreliable except in the sense of being sometimes false B. Scientific hypotheses are guesses no better backed by observation and experiment, and have no more claim on our credulity, than the fancies of pseudo-scientists C. If one judges that there is life elsewhere in the galaxy, and the other judges the opposite, then one of them has hit on a fragment of the truth D. What is wrong with pseudoscience is the manner in which it handles its hypotheses, not the hypotheses themselves E. for the grounds of what is accepted as true themselves require grounds, thus initiating an infinite regress of justification F. Modern skeptics relish specially this second discovery of Hume"s: that there exist no grounds whatever, conclusive or inclusive, for anything that we claim to be certain of
