单选题 Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however,we all to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask : what is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a numberof characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell andcommunity who will listen. But a few heroes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers,heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine, hero experience lifewith new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom dothey serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serveonly their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jacksonare famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. Theyhave the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi,India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr.,we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible forlargescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of changewould be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

单选题 Passage 7 A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal {{U}}(1) {{/U}} an area. The size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his {{U}}(2) {{/U}} and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, {{U}}(3) {{/U}} up the best territory in the order of "first come, first {{U}}(4) {{/U}}."

When there is conflict {{U}}(9) {{/U}} territory, animals will commonly use force, or a {{U}}(10) {{/U}} of force, to decide which will stay and which will go. It is interesting to note, however, that animals seem to use {{U}}(11) {{/U}} the minimum amount of force {{U}}(12) {{/U}} to drive away the intruder. There is usually no killing. In the {{U}}(13) {{/U}} of those animals which are capable of doing each other great harm, {{U}}(14) {{/U}} is a system for the losing animal to show the winning animals that he {{U}}(15) {{/U}} to submit.

Animals (especially birds), which can easily escape from conflict seem to have. {{U}}(17) {{/U}}obstacle against killing, and equally no mechanism {{U}}(18) {{/U}} submission. The losing bird simply flies away. However, if two doves are {{U}}(19) {{/U}} in a cage, and they start fighting, they will continue to fight until one kills the other. We all think of the dove as a symbol of peace and, in its natural habitat, it is peaceful. But the "peace" mechanism does not {{U}}(20) {{/U}} in a cage.

单选题{{B}}Passage One{{/B}} The UK is made up of four countries -- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland -- which have widely differing cultures and languages. Wales was the first country to fall under English control, in the late 16th-century. The Welsh were never actually defeated by the English. Instead, they realized that unity with their bigger neighbor was the only way to end the almost continuous state of war that existed between the two countries. Since unity, England and Wales have had the same systems of law, education and government. The situation between Scotland and England was very different. They fought fierce wars for centuries, each invading each other, whenever the situation seemed in their favour. This came to an end in the 17th-century when King James Vi of Scotland inherited the throne(王位) of England, after Queen Elizabeth I died without children. In 1707, Scotland and England were brought together in an Act of Union. This took away much of the Scots' control of their own affairs, but they kept their own systems of law and education. For the three countries, union resulted in peace. But England's occupation of Ireland has always been characterized by violence. Ireland was slowly brought under English control in the 16th- and 17th-centuries. But it retained its own government until 1801, when it was brought together with the Parliament at Westminster. However, Britain was under pressure to leave Ireland by 1920. In 1921, an agreement was signed whereby a separate Irish Free State (today called the Irish Republic) was created. This did not, however, include the six counties of Northern Ireland, which remain part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

单选题(Even) a professional psychologist may have difficulty talking (calm) and logically (about) (his own) problems.

单选题In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there arc two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called'" classical conditioning." This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother's face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called "operant (动作的) conditioning. "This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.

单选题For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world"s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of the greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare"s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations. Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English. Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such study is well worth the effort(it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare"s day.
