In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for d

33、eviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need for social control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable.Social control may be either formal or informal. Informal mechanisms include expressions of

34、 disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any groups most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individuals own conscience operates as an agent of social control.

35、When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents

36、 function to limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theorists would also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define

37、unacceptable behavior.Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First, it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated.（分数：10.00）(1).Social control refers to proce

40、tion against deviance is _.A. negative sanctions B. severe punishmentsC. the individuals conscience D. unrestrained suppression（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Formal agents of social control include the following EXCEPT _A. police stations B. mental hospitalsC. welfare agencies D. vocational schools（分数：1.00）A.

44、iological B. sociologicalC. psychological D. anthropological（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Lichens may grow on the bark of a tree in a steaming tropical rain forest, on the bricks of big city buildings, on rocks in hot springs, on wind-swept mountaintops, and in the driest desserts. In the arctic, they provide th

45、e principal food for caribou, and they are one of the few plants that grow in Antarctica. They are pioneers, appearing in barren rocky areas and starting the formation of soil in which mosses, then ferns, and then other plants can take root.Lichens are a partnership of two plants fungi and algae. Th

46、e lichen body is made up of a network of fungal strands. In the upper layers of these grow groups of algae. The two organisms live together to the benefit of both, a relationship known as symbiosis. The fungi provide support, absorb water, and shelter the tender algae from direct sunlight. The algae

47、 carry on photosynthesis and provide the fungi with food. The algae can live independently and are recognizable as a species that grows alone. The fungi, on the other hand, cannot live apart from their partners. They can be placed in known classes of fungi but are unlike any species that lives indep

48、endently.So definite are the form, color, and characteristics of these double organisms that for hundreds of years, they were classified as one. More than 15,000 “species“ were named. If these organisms are classified as separate species, it is difficult to fit them into the existing system of class

49、ification. But if they are classified separately, these species of fungi seem rather strange. Lichens are a splendid example of the difficulties faced by taxonomists in classifying species.（分数：10.00）(1).Lichens may NOT grow _ .Ain the tropical woods Bon the ceilings of city buildingsCon rocks in hot springs Din dry desserts（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author imply about lichens in Paragr
