18、dents arrive at college using“ discrete, concrete and absolute categories to understand people, knowledge, and values. “ These students live with a dualistic view, seeing “the world in polar terms of we-right-good vs. other-wrong-bad. “ These students cannot acknowledge the existence of more than on

19、e point of view toward any issue. There is one “right“ way. And because these absolutes are assumed by or imposed on the individual from external authority, they cannot be personally substantiated or authenticated by experience. These students are slaves to the generalizations of their authorities.

20、An eye for an eye! Capital punishment is apt justice for murder. The Bible says so.Most students break through the dualistic stage to another equally frustrating stagemultiplicity. Within this stage, students see a variety of ways to deal with any given topic or problem. However, while these student

21、s accept multiple points of view, they are unable to evaluate or justify them. To have an opinion is everyones right. While students in the dualistic stage are unable to produce evidence to support what they consider to be self-evident absolutes, students in the multiplistic stage are unable to conn

22、ect instances into coherent generalizations. Every assertion, every point, is valid. In their democracy they are directionless. Capital punishment? What sense is there in answering one murder with another?The third stage of development finds students living in a world of relativism. Knowledge is rel

23、ative: right and wrong depend on the context. No longer recognizing the validity of each individual idea or action, relativists examine everything to find its place in an overall framework. While the multiplist views the world as unconnected, almost random, the relativist seeks always to place pheno

24、mena into coherent larger patterns. Students in this stage view the world analytically. They appreciate authority for its expertise, using it to defend their own generalizations. In addition, they accept or reject ostensible authority after systematically evaluating its validity. In this stage, howe

25、ver, students resist decision making. Suffering the ambivalence of finding several consistent and acceptable alternatives, they are almost overwhelmed by diversity and need means for managing it. Capital punishment is appropriate justicein some instances.In the final stage students manage diversity

26、through individual commitment. Students do not deny relativism. Rather they assert an identity by forming commitments and assuming responsibility for them. They gather personal experience into a coherent framework, abstract principles to guide their actions, and use these principles to discipline an

27、d govern their thoughts and actions. The individual has chosen to join a particular community and agrees to live by its tenets. The accused has had the benefit of due process to guard his civil rights, a jury of peers has found him guilty, and the state has the right to end his life. This is a princ

28、iple my community and I endorse.（分数：10.00）(1).Students who are “dualistic“ thinkers may not be able to support their beliefs convincingly because _.（分数：2.00）A.most of their beliefs cannot be supported by argumentsB.they have accepted their “truths“ simply because authorities have said these things a

29、re “true“C.they half-believe and half-disbelieve just about everythingD.their teachers almost always think that “dualistic“ thinkers are wrong(2).Which one of the following assertions is supported by the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Committed thinkers are not very sure of their positions.B.Relativistic thinke

30、rs have learned how to make sense out of the world and have chosen their own positions in it.C.Multiplicity thinkers have difficulty understanding the relationships between different points of view.D.Dualistic thinkers have thought out the reasons for taking their positions.(3).In paragraph two, the

31、 author states that in their “democracy“ students in the multiplicity stage are directionless. The writer describes multiplicity students as being in a “democracy“ because _.（分数：2.00）A.there are so many different kinds of people in a democracyB.in an “ideal“ democracy, all people are considered equa

32、l; by extension, so are their opinionsC.Democrats generally do not have a good sense of directionD.in a democracy the individual has ultimate authority over himself, not the state(4).Which one of the following kinds of thinking is NOT described in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.People who assume that there

34、anization of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Four methods of thought are compared and contrasted.B.It is shown how each of four types of thought evolved from each other.C.Four methods of thought are presented, and each is shown to complement the other.D.The evolution of thought through four stages is present

35、ed, and each stage is illustrated by how it views capital punishment.Passage TwoThe value of heat for the preservation of food has been known for thousands of years, but it was not realized until the nineteenth century that a very mild heat treatment far below the boiling point, made liquid foods su

36、ch as milk keep much longer. The discovery followed the work of the French scientist Louis Pasteur on wine and beer.The process, called after him “pasteurization“, is a carefully controlled mild heat treatment. It was found that the process served two purposes, it prevented the souring of milk, and

37、it destroyed the dangerous disease germs which sometimes occur in this product.It has long been known to bacteria experts that the tubercle bacillus is the germ in milk which host strongly resists heat treatment. To destroy this organism it is necessary to heat milk to about 60 degrees centigrade fo

38、r 15 minutes, and its destruction has always been taken as a way of testing the efficiency of pasteurization. A heat treatment of this kind destroys about 99 percent of the common bacteria in milk, including nearly all those which cause milk to turn sour.To ensure the certain destruction of tubercul

39、osis and other disease germs in milk, it must be held at a fixed temperature for a fixed time. In Britain, for example, these conditions were defined-coy law in 1923 as 63-66 degrees centigrade for 30 minutes. This became known as the “holder“ process, since the raw milk had to be pumped into a larg

40、e tank, heated to just over 63 degrees centigrade, held in the tank for half an hour and then pumped out and cooled. This was a slow process and required a very large plant, so scientists worked for many years to produce a simpler, more convenient method, with less large equipment.The latest method,

41、 officially approved in Britain in 1949, is known as the high-temperature-short-time, or H. T. S. T. method. It has now almost entirely replaced the “holder“ process. In the H. T. S. T. system, the milk flows continuously through many sections of thin stainless steel pipes, During the process, the m

42、ilk is held at 72 degrees centigrade for at least 15 seconds then, as it-cools, the heat is used, in part, to raise the temperature of the incoming milk in a device called a “wheat exchanger“.Efficient pasteurization may reduce the bacteria in raw milk from, say, one million to only a few thousand p

43、er cubic centimeter. The bacteria left are chemically mostly of the inert type, thatis, they either do not.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, pasteurization refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.the heat treatment of milkB.heating liquid to 100 degrees centigradeC.the heat treatment to destroy all the common

44、bacteriaD.heating objects to a fixed temperature for a fixed time(2).How is it tested whether a milk pasteurization is efficient or not?（分数：2.00）A.By testing the heating temperature.B.By testing the quantity of bacillus causing tuberculosis.C.By testing the time duration of heatingD.All of the abov(

45、3).According to the passage, the new H. T. S. T. method differs from the “ holder“ process in _.（分数：2.00）A.higher rate of bacteria destructionB.different temperature requirementsC.the ease with which it is operatedD.the amount of energy preserved(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true acco

46、rding to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Pasteurization process is named after a French scientist.B.Tubercle bacillus accounts for the largest number among all germs in milk.C.Heating temperature may vary according to different processing methods.D.Neither of the pasteurization methods mentioned in the passa

47、ge can 100% reduce bacteria in raw milk.(5).The whole passage is organized by _.（分数：2.00）A.comparing and contrasting two conceptsB.relating the development of a technologyC.defining a concept first and then explaining itD.introducing a problem first and then giving its solutionPassage ThreeIf you ha

48、d asked me then if I would accept a job as a restaurant critic for The New York Times, or any established publication, I would have replied, without a second thought, “Of course not!“ And not just because I did not want to think of myself as an ambitious sort. Working in restaurants was honest labor

49、 anyone could see that. Writing about them for the mainstream press was not; it felt like joining the enemy.But reviewing was fun, so much fun that when mainstream publishers started paying me for my opinions, I didnt do the decent thing. Before I knew it, I had stopped cooking professionally. Then I stopped cooking altogether. “Shes joined the leisure class,“ my friends said.I disarmed my critics by invi
