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.

Questions 16-20 are based on the
following passage. The income-tax deadline
approaches and some taxpayers' thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and
some students' thoughts turn to it. Temptation appears and some spouses consider
it. Nowadays, cheating is on the rise. "You want something you can't get by
behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough, you'll do it regardless
of any guilt or regret, and you're willing to run the risk of being caught. "
That's how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in
New York, defines cheating. Cheating represents the triumph of
the "Brazen Rule" over the "Golden Rule", says Terry Pinkard, philosophy
professor at Georgetown University in Washington D．C． "The Golden Rule says, Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you.'The Brazen Rule says, Do unto
others as they would do unto you if they were in your place. ' " Many experts
believe cheating is on the rise. "We're seeing more of the kind of person who
regards the world as a series of things to be manipulated． Whether to cheat
depends on whether it's in the person's interest. " He does, however, see less
cheating among the youngest students. Richard Dienslbier,
psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that
society's attitudes account for much of the rise in cheating. "Twenty years ago,
if a person cheated in college, society said:'That is extremely serious; you
will be dropped for a semester if not kicked out permanently, ' " he says.
"Nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy
of the College of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the
student must receive an'F' on what he cheated on. That's nothing. If you're
going to fail anyway, why not cheat?" Cheating is unethical,
Pinkard says, whether it's massive fraud or failure to tell a store cashier you
were undercharged． "You're treating other people merely as a means for your own
ends. You're using people in ways they would not consent to. The cheater says, '
Let everybody else bear the burden, and I'll reap the benefits. '"
Cheaters usually try to justify their actions, says Rohert Hogan, chairman
of the psychology department at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma． "They never
think it's their fault. " Cheaters make justifications because they want to feel
good about themselves, adds Wheeler. "They don't want to label themselves as a
cheater. Also, they may be anticipating the possibility of getting caught, so
they work on their excuse ahead of time. " The most common justifications,
psychologists say, include: "I had to do it. "
"The test was unfair. " "Everybody does it, and I have to
cheat to get what's rightfully mine. " "The government wastes
the money anyway. " "My wife (or husband) doesn't understand
me, and we've grown apart. " Cheating is most likely in
situation where the stakes are high and the chances of getting caught are low,
says social psychologist Lynn Kahle of the University of Oregon in Eugene. In
his study, a group of freshmen were allowed to grade their own tests, while
secret, pressure sensitive paper indicated who changed answers. To raise the
pressure, students were given an extremely high scores as the "average" for the
test and told that those who failed would go before an inquiring board of
psychologists. About 16 percent of the male students changed answers; among the
females, about 30 percent cheated． Everybody cheats, a little,
some psychologists say, while others insist that most people are basically
honest and some wouldn't cheat under any circumstances. Despite
the general rise in cheating, Pinkard sees some cause for hope: "I do find among
younger students a much less tolerant attitude toward cheating. " Perhaps, he
says, the upcoming generation is less spoiled than the "baby boom" students who
preceded them—and therefore less self-centereD． "There seems to be a swing back
in the culture. "

单选题The ocean bottom—a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth—is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without fight and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as for-bidding and remote as the void of outer space. Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor. The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth. The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change—information that may be used to predict future climates.
