However, evolutiona

8、ry theorists view emotion as a powerful source of motivationan 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 oper

9、ate 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

10、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

11、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 th

12、e 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 emo

13、tionally 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 cer

14、tain 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 he

15、r 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.（分数：10.00）(1)

16、This passage discusses the_approach to human emotions.（分数：2.00）A.evolutionaryB.cognitiveC.psychologicalD.economic(2).Evolutionary theorists view emotion as all of the following except_.（分数：2.00）A.cognitive processesB.a source of motivationC.something promoting actionD.serving various functions(3).T

17、he idea presented in 2nd paragraph can be best described as_.（分数：2.00）A.realisticB.materialisticC.ironicalD.offspring-oriented(4).According to the evolutionary perspective, women“s jealousy ultimately stems from_.（分数：2.00）A.concern over their husbands“ reproductive abilityB.fear that their husbands“

18、 resources would be threatenedC.their husbands“ divided attention to them and their offspringD.their emotional instability resulting from their husbands“ infidelity(5).According to this passage, a man“ jealousy is mainly focused on_.（分数：2.00）A.a concern over their wives“ resourcesB.the fatherhood of

Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of

20、companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plast

21、ic. Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc. As the New York experience shows

22、 recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second lifeand until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials coll

23、ected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials. Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive w

24、aste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that

25、make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.（分数：10.00）(1).What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?_.（分数：2.00）A.Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B.Throwaways should be collected

30、ts other computer networks, together with software and protocols for controlling the movement of data. The Internet, often referred to as “the Net“, was initiated in 1969 by a group of universities and private research groups funded by the US Department of Defense. It now covers almost every country

31、 in the world. Its organization is informal and deliberately nonpolitical its controllers tend to concentrate on technical aspects rather than on administrative control. The Internet offers users a number of basic services including data transfer, electronic mail, and the ability to access informati

32、on in remote databases. A notable feature is the existence of user groups, which allow people to exchange information and debate specific subjects of interest. In addition, there are a number of high-level services. For example, MBONE allows the transmission of messages to more than one destination.

33、 It is used in videoconferencing. The World Wide Web, known as “the Web“, is another high level Internet service, developed in the 1990s in Geneva. It is a service for distributing multimedia information, including graphics, pictures, sounds, and video as well as text. A feature of the World Wide We

34、b is that it allows links to other related documents elsewhere on the Internet. Documents for publication on the Web are presented in a form known as HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). This allows a specification of the page layout and typography as it will appear on the screen. It also allows the i

35、nclusion of active links to other documents. Generally, these appear on the screen display as highlighted text or as additional icons. Typically, the user can use a mouse to “click“ on one of these points to load and view a related document. Many commercial and public organizations now have their ow

36、n Web site (specified by an address code) and publish a “home page“, giving information about the organization. Up to the mid 1990s, the major users of the Internet were academic and research organizations. This has begun to change rapidly with individual home users linking in through commercial acc

37、ess providers and with a growing interest by companies in using the Internet for publicity, sales, and as a medium for electronic publishing. At the same time, there are problems with the flow of information across national borders, bringing in debates about copyright protection, data protection, th

38、e publication of pornography, and ultimately political control and censorship.（分数：10.00）(1).From the first paragraph, we learn that the Internet_.（分数：2.00）A.was initiated by the U.S.Department of Defense in 1969B.was only able to connect computers into networks at its beginningC.has not any kind of

When it was introduced, most people did not like

43、 it as well as “regular“ coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, Instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off

44、stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline(衰退)when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline). The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that s

45、ales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections.
