13、ly translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we some

14、times behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, pa

15、rticularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed persons behavior with the known others behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the

16、 physical or social environment so as to observe the persons responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-discl

17、osures (自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we wont

18、 ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically (挖苦性地) those things that keep us from

19、 knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosure and truthful statements).21.The word “pinpoint” (Para. 1, Line 3) basica

20、lly means _.A) appreciateB) obtainC) interpretD) identify22.What do we learn from the first paragraphA) People are better described in cold, objective terms.B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated.C) One should not judge people by their appearances.D) One is usually s

21、ubjective when assessing other peoples personality.23.It can be inferred from Bergers suggestions that _.A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasionB) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyC) the best way to know a person is by making comparisonsD) face-t

22、o-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person24.In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the authors opinion, are _.A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt withB) barriers that should be done away withC) as significant as disclosures

23、 and truthful statementsD) things people should guard against25.The authors purpose in writing the passage is _.A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasionsB) to provide ways of how to obtain information about peopleC) to call the readers attention to the negative side of peoples ch

24、aractersD) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peopleQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently

25、have to make a judgement as to their competitors role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II a

26、nd Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apples major competitors.Apples new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including I

27、BM-compatible (兼容的) programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufactures new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM software is Apples effort at making the Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in

28、the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories (附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do

29、 not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both compani

30、es realize that their competitors computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics (图形), whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility bet

31、ween the two companies products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.26.According to the passage, Apple Computer, Inc, has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because _.A) IBM is changing its computer models continuouslyB) it wants to make i

32、ts machines specialize in specific usesC) it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer marketD) it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example27.Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by _.A) making its new models capable of running IBM softwareB) improving the colo

33、r graphics of its new modelsC) copying the marketing strategies of IBMD) giving the customers what they want28.Apple sells its new computer models at a high price because _.A) they have new features and functionsB) they are more sophisticated than other modelsC) they have new accessories attachedD)

34、it wants to accumulate funds for future research29.It can be inferred from the passage that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by _.A) copying each others technologyB) incorporating features that make their products distinctiveC) making their computer more expensiveD) making thei

35、r computers run much faster30.The best title for the passage would be _.A) Apples Efforts to Stay Ahead of IBMB) Apples New Computer TechnologyC) Apples New personal ComputersD) Apples Research ActivitiesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is a curious paradox that

36、we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft”, and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical systems is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our kn

37、owledge of social systems. In terms of our capacity to sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earths social systems with some degree

38、 of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinar

39、y life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived from the social sciences, even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal ex

40、perience.In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, of even of earths geological history, can easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data comes in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security” our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of th

41、eir suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order of hardness and see the social sciences as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simpl

42、y because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial as compared with the rich records of the social systems, or even the limited records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we see distant things as they were lo

43、ng ago, are limited in the extreme.Even in regard to such a close neighbour as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and highly insecure.31.Th

44、e word “paradox” (Para. 1, Line 1) means “_”.A) implicationB) contradictionC) interpretationD) confusion32.According to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard” and the social sciences as “soft” because _.A) a reverse ordering will help promote the developm

45、ent of the physical sciencesB) our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC) our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD) we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena33.The author believes that our knowledge of so

46、cial systems is more secure than that of physical systems because _.A) it is not based on personal experienceB) new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciencesC) it is based on a fairly representative quantity of dataD) the records of social systems are more reliable34.The chances of the

47、 physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because _.A) contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB) new information is constantly coming inC) the direction of their development is difficult to predictD) our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate35.We know less a

48、bout the astronomical universe than we do about any social system because _.A) theories of its origin and history are variedB) our knowledge of it is highly insecureC) only a very small sample of it has been observedD) few scientists are involved in the study of astronomyQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following.In the early days of nuclear power, the United States
