题目内容

听力原文:W: I was [19] working on a paper about the differences between women and men. I have been thinking about it all these days, but no satisfactory results come out.
M: Ah, you may not realize you're working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different. They sometimes don't understand each other at all.
M: 1 agree. Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking. Last weekend, John and I went to a ball game. When we're at the game, we talked about the players and what's going on in the game and nothing else. I think women wouldn't do that.
W: You bet! Yesterday, a friend and I sat at a caf6 and talked about nothing, and everything! Um…about my sister's new baby…and about when she could go back to work…and you know, who should take care of the baby… things like that.
M: When a woman talks with a man, [20] she'll often feel as though he wasn't really listening or that he wasn't really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah, that sounds very familiar to me.
M: And I think a man doesn't understand what the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders "what's her point?", "where's this conversation going?"
M: To speak from experience, for a man, talking is generally more straightforward—it's about giving and getting facts. Men generally don't base their friendships on talking, but on doing—getting together with buddies, playing sports or hanging out.
W: Well, for me, [21] a best friend is someone I can be close with and talk to. I can talk with her in detail about everyday events in our lives. We share feelings and secrets. This offers a chance to better understand our world and ourselves.
(20)

A. Looking for a person to talk to.
B. Working on a troublemaking talking.
C. Trying to understand the two genders.
D. Trying to understand friendship between women.

In The Open and Closed Mind, Milton Rokeach poses the problem of cultural understanding in its simplest form, but one that can readily demonstrate the complication of communication between cultures. It is called the "Denny Doodlebyg Problem." Readers are given all the rules that govern this culture: Denny is an animal that always faces North, and can move only by jumping; he can jump large distances or small distances, but can change direction only after jumping four times I any direction; he can jump North, South, East or West, but not diagonally. Upon concluding a jump his master places some food three feet directly West of him. Surveying the situation, Denny concludes he must jump four times to reach the food. No more or less. And he is right. All the reader has to do is to explain the circumstances that make his conclusion correct.
The large majority of people who attempt this problem fail to solve it, despite the fact that they are given all the rules that control behavior. in this culture. If there is difficulty in getting inside the simplistic world of Denny Doodlebug—where the cultural code has already been broken and handed to us—imagine the complexity of comprehending behavior. in societies whose codes have to yet been deciphered. And where even those who obey these Codes are only vaguely aware and can rarely describe the underlying sources of their own actions.
We acquire the greater part of our cultural codes by ______.

A. creating a universe of discourse
B. imitating the behavior. of others, especially those of the previous generation
C. sharing the same experiences with other people
D. taking in the various information we're given with no discrimination

Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three periods usually called Old (or Anglo-Saxon)English, Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A. D, though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the seventh century or a bit later. By that time, Latin, Old Norse(the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional (词尾变化的) system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down.
The period of Middle English extends roughly form. the twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of French(and Latin, often by way of French)upon the vocabulary continued throughout the period, the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerated, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language. A bypical prose passage, specially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.
The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day. The early part of this period saw the completion of a revolution in vowel distribution that had be gun in late Middle English and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern. Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin, and to a lesser extent, Greek on the vocabulary. Later, as English came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word stock.
The earliest written record of English available to us started ______.

A. from the seventh century
B. from the fifth century
C. from the twelfth century
D. from the ninth century
