单选题Monkeys and chimpanzees, although they are weaker and less fierce than many other animals, possess brains which are 55 far along the evolutionary road as any creature other than man. Birds can perform marvels of aerobatics, they can catch insects on the wing with unparalleled skill, they can navigate in a remarkable manner half round the world and back—but they cannot think and reason. In technical terms it can be said that they are lacking in insight. The abilities which they do possess are built-in instincts derived from their genetic inheritance. Monkeys, on the other hand, can reason. They can easily remember a lighted door indicating the presence of food. They can remember what kind of food they are looking for. A monkey set the problem of reaching a banana, say, hung high up in its cage, can work out a system for getting it even if it involves piling up boxes to stand on and then knocking down the banana with a stick. A charming story is told about the psychologist Wolfgang Kobler, who had provided various boxes and other apparatuses by which he proposed to test a chimpanzee"s ability to think out a method of reaching a fruit hung nine feet in the air. The animal looked about it and sized up the problem. Then it took Kobler by the hand, led him to a position immediately under the banana, jumped up on to his shoulder and reached it down from there.
But evolution, although it has brought monkeys to a remarkable degree of cleverness, has stopped short at a crucial ability, the possession of which places man at a clearly superior level. Their minds cannot cope with abstract ideas. For example, an ape can be taught to fill a can with water from a barrel and take the can of water to put out a fire so that it can reach into a box and get food. But if the whole set-up is arranged on a raft the animal will continue to draw its water only from the barrel. It can not grasp that any water, taken more, conveniently, say, from the pond on which the raft is floating, will pot out the fire just as well. The abstract idea that water puts out fire is beyond it.

单选题He's like a ______ child; he likes to get his own way.
单选题Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that btology is destiny.Accoralng to this ideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes·These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally.Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties.A woman's place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on.Men are to be the providers;women and children are"dependents". The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these iobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women, not men.tO be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role.Informal distinctions between"vomen's work"and"men's work"in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection ofthe basic differences between the sexes. Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce.Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differenc.es between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex rolesvaryfrom societyto society,andthose roledifferencesthatto existarelargelylearned. But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex—defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.

单选题3 Before high school teacher Kimberly Rugh got down to business at the start of a recent school week, she joked with her students about how she'd had to clean cake out of the cor ners of her house after her 2-year-old son's birthday party. This friendly combination of chitchat took place not in front of a blackboard but in an E-mail message that Rugh sent to the 145 students she's teaching at the Florida Virtual School, one of the nation's leading online high schools. The school's motto is "any time, any place, any path, any pace". Florida's E-school attracts many students who need flexible scheduling, from young tennis stars and young musicians to brothers Tobias and Tyler Heeb, who take turns working on the computer while helping out with their family's clam-farming business on Pine Island, off Florida's southwest coast. Home-schoolers also are well represented. Most students live in Florida, but 55 hail from West Virginia, where a severe teacher shortage makes it hard for many students to take advanced classes. Seven kids from Texas and four from Shanghai round out the student body. The great majority of Florida Virtual Schoolers--80 percent are enrolled in regular Florida public or private high schools. Some are busy overachievers. Others are retaking classes they barely passed the first time. The school's biggest challenge is making sure that students aren't left to sink or swim on their own. After the school experienced a disappoint ing course completion rate of just 50 percent in its early years, Executive Director Julie Young made a priority out of what she calls "relationship-building," asking teachers to stay in frequent E-mail and phone contact with their students. That personal touch has helped. The completion rate is now 80 percent. Critics of online classes say that while they may have a limited place, they are a poor substitute for the face-to-face contact and socialization that take place in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Despite opportunities for online chats, some virtual students say they'd prefer to have more interaction with their peers. Students and parents are quick to acknowledge that virtual schooling isn't for every one. "If your child's not focused and motivated, I can only imagine it would be a night mare," says Patricia Haygood of Orlando, whose two daughters are thriving at the Flori da school. For those who have what it takes, however, virtual learning fills an important niche. "I can work at my own pace, on my own time," says Hackney. "It's the ultimate in student responsibility. /
