18、inforceD.reenact二、Part II Reading Comp(总题数：4，分数：40.00)In 1896 a Georgia couple suing for damages in the accidental death of their two year old was told that since the child had made no real economic contribution to the family, there was no liability for damages. In contrast, lessthan a century later

19、,in 1979, the parents of a three year old sued in New York for accidental-death damages and won an award of $750,000. The transformation in social values implicit in juxta-posing these two incidents is the subject of Viviana Zelizers excellent book, Pricing the Priceless Child. During the nineteenth

20、 century, she argues, the concept of the “useful“ child who contributed to the family economy gave way gradually to the present-day notion of the “useless“ child who, though producing no income for, and indeed extremely costly to, its parents, is yet considered emotionally “priceless.“ Well establis

21、hed among segments of the middle and upper classes by the mid-1800s, this new view of childhood spread through-out society in the iate-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries as reformers introduced child-labor regulations and compulsory education laws predicated in part on the assumption that a ch

22、ilds emotional value made child labor taboo. For Zelizer the origins of this transformation were many and complex. The gradual erosion of childrens productive value in a maturing industrial economy, the decline in birth and death rates, especially in child mortality, and the development of the compa

23、nionate family (a family in which members were united by explicitbonds of love rather than duty) were all factors critical in changing the assessment of childrens worth. Yet “expulsion of children from the cash nexus, although clearly shaped by profound changes in the economic, occupational, and fam

24、ily structures,“ Zelizer maintains. “was also part of a cultural process of sacral-ization of childrens lives. “ Protecting children from the crass business world became enormously important for late-nineteenth-century middle-class Americans, she suggests; this sacralization was a way of resisting w

25、hat they perceived as the relentless corruption of human values by the marketplace. In stressing the cultural determinants of a childs worth. Zelizer takes issue with practitioners of the new “sociological economics,“ who have analyzed such tradi-tionally sociological topics as crime, marriage, educ

26、a-tion, and health solely in terms of their economic deter-minants. Allowing only a small role for cultural forces in the form of individual “preferences,“ these sociologists tend to view all human behavior as directed primarily by the principle of maximizing economic gain. Zelizer is highly critica

27、l of this approach, and emphasizes instead the opposite phenomenon: thepower of social values to transform price. As children became more valuable in emotional terms, she argues, their “exchange“ or “ sur-render“ value on the market, that is, the conversion of their intangible worth into cash terms,

28、 became much greater.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards in america during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the（分数：2.00）A.earnings of the person at time of deathB.wealth of the party causing the deathC.degree of culpability of

29、 the party causing the deathD.amount of money that had been spent on the person killed(2).it can be inferred from the passage that in the early 1800s children were generally regarded by their families as individuals who（分数：2.00）A.needed enormous amounts of security and affectionB.required constant s

31、cribed in the passage? （分数：2.00）A.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because paraents began to increase their emotional investment in the upbringing of their children.B.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because their expected earning over the co

32、urseof a lifetime increased greatly.C.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because the spread of humantiarian ideals resultedin a wholeasale reappraisal of the worthof an individual.D.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because compulsory education

33、laws reduced the supply, and thus raised thd costs, of available child labor.(4).the primary purpose of the passage is to （分数：2.00）A.review the literature in a new academic subfieldB.present the central thesis of a recent bookC.contrast two approaches to analyzing historical changeD.refute a traditi

34、onal explanation of a xocial phenomenon(5).zelizer refers to all of the following as important influences in changing the assessment of childrens worth except changes in （分数：2.00）A.the mortality rateB.the nature of industryC.the nature of the familyD.attitudes toward reform movementsA stout old lady

35、 was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for pedestrians, but she replied: Im going to walk where I like. Weve got liberty now. It did not

36、occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the pedestrian to walk down the middle of the road, then the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody elses way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.There is

37、 a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. It means that in order that the liberties of all may be preserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the polic

38、eman,say, at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road and puts out his hand, he is the symbol not of tyranny, but of liberty.You may not think so. You may, being in a hurry, and seeing your car pulled up by this insolence of office, feel that your liberty has been outraged. How dare this

39、fellow interfere with your free use of the public highway? Then, if you are a reasonable person, you will reflect that if he did not interfere with you, he would interfere with no one, and the result would be that Piccadilly Circus would be a maelstrom that you would never cross at all. You have sub

40、mitted to a curtailment of private liberty in order that you may enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.Liberty is not a personal affair only, but a social contract. It is an accommodation of interests. In matters which do not touch anybody elses liberty, of course, I may be as free

41、 as I like. If I choose to go down the road in a dressing-gown who shall say me nay? You have liberty to laugh at me, but I have liberty to be indifferent to you. And ifI have a fancy for dyeing my hair, or waxing my moustache (which heaven forbid), or wearing an overcoat and sandals, or going to be

42、d late or getting up early,I shall follow my fancy and ask no mans permission. I shall not inquire of you whether I may eat mustard with my mutton. And you will not ask me whether you may follow this religion or that, whether you may prefer Ella Wheeler Wilcox to Wordsworth, or champagne to shandy.I

43、n all these and a thousand other details you and I please ourselves and ask no ones leave. We have a whole kingdom in which we rule alone, can do what we choose, be wise or ridiculous, harsh or easy, conventional or odd. But directly we step out of that kingdom, our personal liberty of action become

44、s qualified by other peoples liberty. I might like to practice on the trombone from midnight till three in the morning. If I went on to the top of Everest to do it, I couldplease myself, but if I doitinmybedroommyfamilywillobject,andif Idoitoutinthestreets theneighborswill remind me that my liberty

45、to blow the trombone mustnot interfere with their liberty to sleep in quiet.There are a lot of people in the world, and I have to accommodate my liberty to their liberties.We are all liable to forget this, and unfortunately we are much more conscious of the imperfections of others in this respect th

46、an of our own. A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of others is the foundation of social conduct. It is in the small matters of conduct, in the observance of the rule of the road, that we pass judgment upon ourselves, and declare that we are civilized or uncivilized. The great mome

47、nts of heroism and sacrifice are rare. It is the little habits of commonplace intercoursethat make up the great sum of life and sweeten or make bitter the journey.（分数：10.00）(1).The author might have stated his rule of the road as （分数：2.00）A.do not walk in the middle of the roadB.follow the orders of

49、her correcting grammar errorsB.an editor shortening the text of an articleC.a tax inspector demanding to see someones accountsD.an army office giving orders to a soldier(4).The author assumes that he may be as free as he likes in （分数：2.00）A.all matters of dress and foodB.any situation which does not interfere with the liberty of othersC.anything that is not against the lawD.his own home(5).In the sentence We are all liable the aut
