单选题Today cognitive theorists empirically study the impact of feelings on cognitive processes such as memory and judgment and also the reciprocal influence of cognition on emotion. However, evolutionary theorists view emotion as a powerful source of motivation—an internal communication that something must be done. For example, when people are threatened, they fed fear, which in turn leads them to deal with the threatening situation through either fight or flight. Emotions and drives may also operate in tandem to motivate action, as when excitement accompanies sexual arousal. From an evolutionary perspective, different emotions serve different functions. Fear facilitates flight in the face of danger; disgust prevents ingestion me potentially toxic substances such as rotting meat. An emotion that is less well understood is jealousy. Why do people become jealous in intimate sexual relationships? One series of studies tested evolutionary hypotheses about differences in the concerns men and women have about their partners' fidelity. Since females can have only a limited number of children during their lifetimes, to maximize their reproductive success they should be motivated to form relationships with males who have resources and will contribute them to their offspring. Indeed, cross-cultural evidence demonstrates that one of the main mate selection criteria used by females around the world is male resources. From a female's point of view, then, infidelity accompanied by, emotional commitment to the other woman is a major threat to resources. A man unlikely to divert resources from his mate and her offspring to a casualling, but the risk increases dramatically if he becomes emotionally involved and perhaps considers switching long-term partners. Hence, a woman's jealousy would be expected to focus on her mate's emotional commitment to another female. For males, the situation is different. If a male commits himself to an exclusive relationship with a female, he must be certain that the offspring in whom he is investing are his own. Since he cannot be sure of paternity, the best he can do is to prevent his mate from copulating with any other males. In males, then, jealousy would be expected to focus less on the female's emotional commitment or resources and more on her tendency to give other males sexual access. Indeed, in species 'ranging from insects to humans, males take extreme measures to prevent other males from inseminating their mates. In humans, male sexual jealousy is the leading cause of homicides and of spouse battering cross - culturally.

单选题{{B}}Passage Three{{/B}}
in spite of "endless talk of,
difference," American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people.
This is "the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness
and absence of consumption" launched by the 19th century department stores that
offered vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops
catering to a knowledgeable elite, "these were stores, anyone could enter,
regardless of class or background D. This turned shopping into a public and
democratic act. The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for
homogenization. Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common
culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing
for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today% im-
migration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In
1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the 10
years prior to 1990, 3. 1 hnmigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the
10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of
assimilation—language, home ownership and intermarriage. The
1990 Census revealed that "a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen
most common countries of origin spoke English "well "or" very well "after ten
years of residence. ' The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and
proficient in English. "By the third generation, the original language is lost
in the majority of immigrant families." Hence the description of America as a
graveyard" for language". By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrive before
1970 had a home ownership rate of 75. 6 percent, higher than the 69. 8 per- cent
rate among native-born Americans. Foreign-born Asians and
Hispanics "have higher rates of intermarriage than do U. S born whites and
blacks." By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to
non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to
non-Asians. Rodriguez not that children in remote villages
around world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks,
yet "some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain
somehow immune to the nation% assimilative power. ' Are there
divisive issues and pockets of seething in America? Indee D. It is big enough to
have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's
turbulent past, today's social induces suggest a dark and deteriorating social
environment.

单选题Passage One Is it possible that the ideas we have today about ownership and property rights have been so universal in the human mind that it is truly as if they had sprung from the mind of God? By no means. The idea of owning and property emerged in the mists of unrecorded history. The ancient Jews, for one, had a very different outlook on property and ownership, viewing it as something much more temporary and tentative than we do. The ideas we have in America about the private ownership of productive property as a natural and universal right of mankind, perhaps of divine origin, are by no means universal and must be viewed as an invention of man rather than an order of God. Of course, we are completely trained to accept the idea of ownership of the earth and its products, raw and transformed. It seems not at all strange, in fact, it is quite difficult to imagine a society without such arrangements. If someone, some individuals, didn't own that plot of land, that house, that factory, that machine, that tower of wheat, how would we function? What would the rules be? Whom would we buy from and how would we sell? It is important to acknowledge a significant difference between achieving ownership simply by taking or claiming property and owning what we tend to call the "fruit of labor." If I, alone or together with my family, work on the land and raise crops, or if I make something useful out of natural material, it seems reasonable and fair to claim that the crops or the objects belong to me or my family, are my property, at least in the sense that I have first claim on them. Hardly anyone would dispute that. In fact, some of the early radical workingmen's movements made (an ownership) claim on those very grounds. As industrial organization became more complex, however, such issues became vastly more intricate. It must be clear that in modern society the social heritage of knowledge and technology and the social organization of manufacture and exchange account for far more of the productivity of industry and the value of what is produced than can be accounted for by the labor of any number of individuals. Hardly any person can now point and say, "That—that right there—is the fruit of my labor." We can say, as a society, as a nation—as a world, really—that what is produced is the fruit of our labor, the product of the whole society as a collectivity. We have to recognize that the right of private individual ownership of property is man-made and constantly dependent on the extent to which those without property believe that the owner can make his claim, dependent on the extent to which those without stick.

{{B}}Questions 11-15 are based on the following
passage:{{/B}} When you are near a lake or a river, you feel cool.
Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it can't make the water very hot. Although
the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot
air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes
the place of the hot air. Then you feel the cool air and the wind, which makes
you cool. Of course, scientists can't answer all of your
questions. If we ask, "Why is the ocean full of salt?" scientists will say that
the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks.
Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and
into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask,
"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean doesn't get more slat every
year." Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do
not have, and we are curious.
