For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You sho

28、uld decide on the best choice, then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. According to usage and conventions which are at last being questioned but have by no means been overcome, the social presence of a woman is different in kind from that of a ma

29、n. A mans presence is dependent upon the promise of power which he embodies. If the promise is large and credible his presence is striking. If it is small or incredible, he is bound to have little presence. The promised power may be moral, physical, temperamental, economic, social, and sexualbut its

30、 object is always exterior to the man. A mans presence suggests what he is capable of doing to you or for you. His presence may be fabricated, in the sense that he pretends to be capable of what he is not. But the pretense is always toward a power which he exercises on others. By contrast, a womans

31、presence expresses her own attitude to herself, and defines what can and cannot be done to her. Her presence is manifest in her gestures, voices, opinions expressions, clothes, chosen surroundings, tasteindeed there is nothing she can do which does not contribute to her presence. Presence for a woma

32、n is so intrinsic to her person that men tend to think of it as an almost physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura. To be born a woman has been to be born, within an allotted and confined space, into the keeping of men. The social presence of women has developed as a result of their ingen

33、uity in living under such tutelage within such a limited space. But this has been at the cost of a womans self being split into two. A woman must continually watch herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging hers

34、elf walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituents yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman. She has to survey everything she is

35、and everything she does because how she appears to others, and ultimately how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another. Men survey wom

36、en before treating them. Consequently how a woman appears to a man can determine how she will be treated. To acquire some control over this process, women must contain it and internalize it. That part of a womans self which is the surveyor treats the part which is the surveyed as to demonstrate to o

37、thers how her whole self would like to be treated. And this exemplary treatment of herself by herself constitutes her presence. Every womans presence regulates what is and is not “permissible“ within her presence. Every one of her actionswhatever its direct purpose or motivationis also read as an in

38、dication of how she would like to be treated. If a woman throws a glass on the floor, this is an example of how she treats her own emotion of anger and so of how she would wish to be treated by others. If a man does the same, his action is only read as an expression of his anger. If a woman makes a

39、good joke this is an example of how she treats the joker in herself and accordingly of how she as joker-woman would like to be treated by others. Only a man can make a good joke for its own sake. Questions: （分数：5.00）(1).According to “usage and conventions,“ appearance is NECESSARILY a part of realit

44、BSection B/BIn, this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. My mother started the San Francisco version of the Joy Luck Cl

45、ub in 1949, two years before I was born. This was the year my mother and father left China with one stiff leather trunk filled only with fancy silk dresses. There was no time to pack anything else, my mother had explained to my father after they boarded the boat. Still his hands swam frantically bet

46、ween the slippery silks, looking for his cotton shirts and wool pants. When they arrived in San Francisco, my father made her hide those shiny clothes. She wore the same brown-checked Chinese dress until the Refugee Welcome Society gave her two hand-me-down dresses, all too large in sizes for Americ

47、an women. The society was composed of a group of white-haired American missionary ladies from the First Chinese Baptist Church. And because of their gifts, my parents could not refuse their invitation to join the church. Nor could they ignore the old ladies practical advice to improve their English

48、through Bible study class on Wednesday nights and, later, through choir practice on Saturday mornings. This was how my parents met the Hus, the Jongs, and the St. Clairs. My mother could sense that the women of these families also had unspeakable tragedies they had left behind in China and hopes they couldnt begin to express in their fragile English. Or at least, my mother recogni
