填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} You are going to read a list of headings and a text about learning from argument. Choose the most suitable from the list A—F for each numbered paragraph (41—45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. [A] Communication makes both party know more about each other which make an agreement. [B] The argument itself can not expand knowledge. [C] Reasonable debate plays a postive role in knowledge adrances [D] A basic common knowledge mabe contribution to the argument from which people learn something. [E] Generally, knowledge is gained by argument. [F] Learning can be interrupted by the argument. Do we learn more from people whose views we share in common than from those whose ideas contradictors? The speaker claims so, for the reason that disagreement can cause stress and inhabit learning. I concede that undue discord can impede learning. Otherwise, in my view we learn far from discourse and debate with those whose ideas we oppose than from people whose ideas are in accord with our own. 41.______ Admittedly, under some circumstances disagreement with others can be counterproductive to learning. For supporting examples, one need look no further than a television set. On today's typical television or radio talk show, disagreement usually manifests itself in meaningless rhetorical bouts and shouting matches, during which opponents vie to have their own message heard, but have little interest either in finding any common ground with or in acknowledging the merits of the opponent's viewpoint. Understandably, neither the combatants nor the viewers learn anything meaningful. In fact, these battles only serve to reinforce the predispositions and biases of all concerned. The end result is that learning is impeded. 42.______ Disagreement can also inhibit learning when two opponents disagree on fundamental assumptions needed for meaningful discourse and debate. For example, a student of paleontology learns little about the evolution of an animal species under current study by debating with an individual whose religious belief system precludes the possibility of evolution to begin with. And, economics and finance students learn little about the dynamics of a laissez-faire system by debating with a socialist whose view is that a centralized power should control all economic activity. 43.______ Aside from the foregoing two provisions, however, I fundamentally disagree with the speaker's claim. Assuming common ground between two rational and reasonable opponents willing to debate on intellectual merits, both opponents stand to gain much from that debate. Indeed it is primarily through such debate that human knowledge advances, whether at the personal, community, or global level. 44.______ At the personal level, by listening to their parents' rationale for their seemingly oppressive rules and policies, teenagers can learn how certain behaviors naturally carry certain undesirable consequences. At the same time, by listening to their teenagers concerns about autonomy and about peer pressures parents can learn the valuable lesson that effective parenting and control are two different things. At the community level, through dispassionate dialogue an environmental activist can come to understand the legitimate economic concerns of those whose jobs depend on the continued profitable operation of a factory. Conversely, the latter might stand to learn much about the potential public-health price to be paid by ensuring job growth and a low unemployment rate. Finally, at the global level , two nations with opposing political or economic interests can reach mutually beneficial agreements by striving to understand the other's legitimate concerns for its national security, its political sovereignty, the stability of its economy and currency, and so forth. 45.______ In sum, unless two opponents in a debate are each willing to play on the same field and by the same rules, I concede that disagreement can impede learning. Otherwise, reasoned discourse and debate between people with opposing viewpoints is the very foundation upon which human knowledge advances. Accordingly, on balance the speaker is fundamentally correct.

填空题 The development of writing was one of the great human inventions. It is difficult{{U}} (51) {{/U}}many people to imagine language without writing; the spoken word seems intricately tied to the written{{U}} (52) {{/U}}. But children speak{{U}} (53) {{/U}}they learn to write. And millions of people in the world speak languages with{{U}} (54) {{/U}}written form. Among these people oral literature abounds, and crucial knowledge{{U}} (55) {{/U}}memorized and passed{{U}} (56) {{/U}}generations. But human memory is short-lived, and the brain's storage capacity is finite. {{U}}(57) {{/U}}overcame such problems and allowed communication across the miles{{U}} (58) {{/U}}through the years and centuries. Writing permits a society{{U}} (59) {{/U}}permanently record its poetry, its history and its technology. It might be argued{{U}} (60) {{/U}}today we have electronic means of recording sound and{{U}} (61) {{/U}}to produce films and television, and thus writing is becoming obsolete. {{U}}(62) {{/U}}writing became extinct, there would be no knowledge of electronics{{U}} (63) {{/U}}TV technicians to study; there would be, in fact, little technology in years to{{U}} (64) {{/U}}. There would be no film or TV scripts, no literature, no books, no mails, no newspapers, no science. There would be{{U}} (65) {{/U}}advantages: no bad novels, junk mails, poison-pen letters, or "unreadable" income-tax forms, but the losses would outweigh the{{U}} (66) {{/U}}. There are almost as{{U}} (67) {{/U}}legends and stories on the invention of writing as there are{{U}} (68) {{/U}}the origin of language. Legend has it that Cadmus, Prince of Phoenicia and founder of the city of Thebes, {{U}}(69) {{/U}}the alphabet and brought it with him to Greece.
