单选题Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished
goal. Like competition and conflict. there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual unite. The group contains nearly all of each individual"s life, The rewards of the group"s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and
fragile
. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

These symptoms may include hallucinations (幻觉), incoherence, delusions, lack of judgment, deterioration of the abilities to reason and feel emotion, and a lack of interaction between the patient and his environment.

Questions 11-15 are based on the
following passage. Davis, California, like many
other American cities, has been threatened by unchecked growth, swarming
automobiles, and steeply rising energy costs. But unlike towns and cities which
leave energy policy to the federal government or energy corporations, the
citizens of Davis have acted on their own. After lengthy
debate, Davis' City Council moved to curb growth. It turned against the
automobile and embraced the bicycle as a means of transport. It sponsored an
inquiry into energy uses and endorsed a series of measures aimed at reducing
energy consumption by as much as one half. It cut back the use of
petroleum-derived pesticides on the thousands of trees and shrubs that shade the
city's streets, adopting instead a policy of biological control for insects. The
city's own cars and trucks have been transformed into a fleet of compact
vehicles. When a Davis employee has to get around town, he borrows a bike from
the city rack. Davis even passed a law formally and solemnly sanctioning the
clothesline. The citizens of Davis have been involved in
progressive city planning and energy conservation since 1968, when they
persuaded the City Council to facilitate bicycle transportation by developing a
system of bikeways. The City's general plan for development, drawn up in 1972,
was based on questionnaires distributed to residents. When a survey of
residents showed that automobiles represented 50 percent of energy consumption
and space heating and cooling accounted for 25 percent, transportation and
building construction became important focal points in the Davis plan.
Armed with survey information revealing that a building's
east-west orientation on the lot, as well as its insulation, window area, roof
and wall colors, overhang shading, and other factors greatly influenced space
heating and cooling needs, the City Council drew up a building construction code
which greatly reduced the cost of winter heating and eliminates the need for air
conditioning even on Davis' hottest (114°) day. To demonstrate to local builders
and developers methods for complying with the new code, Davis built two model
solar homes, a single-family dwelling which takes advantage of natural southern
exposure sunlight and a duplex adaptable to difficult siting situationswhere
direct sunlight is blocked.Many of Davis'measures simply facilitate natural
solar heating or sun-shading. Where most communities require that fences be
built close to houses, Davis realized that practice meant blocking winter
sunlight. New fences in Davis must be placed closer to the street, giving
residents the benefit of natural solar heat in winter. Reducing required street
widths provides more shade and saves asphalt to boot. Davis'
other energy conserving moves run the gamut—from a city ordinance encouraging
cottage industry (to cut down on commuting and the need for new office building
construction) to planting evergreens on city streets to reduce leaf pickup in
the fall, from a ban on non-solar swimming pool heaters to a recycling center
that supports itself by selling $3,000 worth of recyclables a month.
