13、 by a fallen power line.Dep. Robert Jolley, “We had to keep stopping, moving debris, out of the roadway, things like that.“At about this time, he sees the tornado begin tearing through the rural community of Bridge Creek.Beneath the storm, Robert Williams and his family climb into a closet and brac

14、e themselves for the very worst minutes of their lives.Robert Williams tells his familys story, “We set down and grabbed the door, and shut it, and held on to it as tight as I could. It snatched the roof off, and pulled the mattress up, and pulled all the kids up. I saw them go up; at the same time

15、the walls fell; my wife was holding on to me, fell over and sliding with the house, The trailer I guess blew up on this thing, and slid over the top of us, and then it pushed us over that there, somewheres. It killed my wife and had me trapped on the back of the house.“Williams wife died in his arms

16、Robert Williams, “She couldnt say nothing. I just held her head in my hands, cause thats all I could get up, and tears roiled down her face, and she died, and that was it. Tough, tough, tough. Tough time for everybody.“His daughter, Amy Crago, her husband, Ben Molton, and their ten month old baby g

I dont know what happened to my baby during it all, but I didnt pass out through the whole thing, I remember it very well, and I was in the air, and all

18、 the debris was hitting me and you cant imagine how bad that hurt.“The tornado tossed Amy Crago and her baby hundreds of feet in different directions.

26、nt to find her father and met Deputy Jolley(4).How many people in Williams family were killed in the tornado?（分数：1.00）A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.BTEXT B/BThat man is an aggressive creature will hardly be disputed. With the exception of certain rodents, no other vertebrate habitually destroys members of his own

27、 species. No other animal takes positive pleasure in the exercise of cruelty upon another of his own kind. We generally describe the most disgusting examples of mans cruelty as brutal, implying by these adjectives that such behavior is characteristic of less highly developed animals than ourselves.

28、In truth, however, the extremes of “brutal“ behavior are confined to man; and there is no parallel in nature to our savage treatment of each other. The depressing fact is that we are the cruelest and most ruthless species that has ever walked the earth; and that, although we may shrink back in horro

29、r when we read in newspaper or history book of the brutalities committed by man upon man, we know in our hearts that each one of us harbors within ourselves those same savage impulses which lead to murder, to torture and to war.To write about human aggression is a difficult task because the term is

30、used in so many different senses. Aggression is one of those words which every one knows, but which is nevertheless hard to define. As psychologists use it, it covers a very wide range of human behavior. The red-faced infant squalling for the bottle is being aggressive; and so is the judge who award

31、s a thirty-year sentence for robbery. The guard in a concentration camp who tortures his helpless victim is obviously acting aggressively. Less manifestly, but no less certainly, so is the neglected wife who threatens or attempts suicide in order to regain her husbands affection. When a word becomes

32、 so diffusely applied that it is used both of the competitive striving of a footballer and also of the bloody violence of a murderer, it ought either to be dropped or else more closely defined. Aggression is a combined term which is fairly bursting at its junctions. Yet until we can more clearly des

33、ignate and comprehend the various aspects of human behavior which are subsumed under this head, we cannot discard the concept.One difficulty is that there is no clear dividing line between those forms of aggression which we all deplore and those which we must not disown if we are to survive. When a

34、child rebels against authority it is being aggressive; but it is also manifesting a drive towards independence which is a necessary and valuable part of growing up. The desire for power has, in extreme form, disastrous aspects which we all acknowledge; but the drive to conquer difficulties, or to ga

35、in mastery over the external world underlies the greatest of human achievements. Some writers define aggression as “that response which follows frustration“, or as “an act whose goal-response is injury to an organism (or organism surrogate)“. In the authors view these definitions impose limits upon

36、the concept of aggression which are not in accord with the underlying facts of human nature which the word is attempting to express. It is worth noticing, for instance, that the words we use to describe intellectual effort are aggressive words. We attack problems, or get our teeth into them. We mast

37、er a subject when we have struggled with and overcome its difficulties. We sharpen our wits, hoping that our mind will develop a keen edge in order that we may better divide a problem into its component parts. Although intellectual tasks are often frustrating, to argue that all intellectual effort i

38、s the result of frustration is to impose too negative a coloring upon the positive impulse to comprehend and master the external world.（分数：4.00）(1).In the authors view, man is unique in _.（分数：1.00）A.his savage treatment of his own kindB.enjoying watching disgusting acts of violenceC.gaining pleasure

39、 from brutally treating animalsD.his strong impulse to tackle intellectual problems(2).According to the author, the concept of “aggression“ _.（分数：1.00）A.is hard to define because it has been used by various disciplinesB.covers both deplorable and necessary behaviorsC.should be dropped altogetherD.sh

40、ould be better expressed by a different term(3).Which of the following is NOT true of intellectual effort?（分数：1.00）A.It is often described by aggressive words.B.It is a drive to gain control of the external world.C.It often leads to futile results.D.It is the result of frustration.(4).This passage i

41、s probably taken from an article on _.（分数：1.00）A.mans brutalities upon manB.definition of aggressionC.aggression underlying human behaviorsD.mans drive to master the external worldBTEXT C/BFor a long time we have worked hard at isolating the individual family. This has increased the mobility of indi

42、viduals; and by encouraging young families to break away from the older generation and the home community, we have been able to speed up the acceptance of change and the rapid spread of innovative behavior. But at the same time we have burdened every small family with tremendous responsibilities onc

43、e shared within three generations and among a large number of peoplethe nurturing of small children, the initiation of adolescents into adulthood, and care of the sick and disabled and the protection of the aged. What we have failed to realize is that even as we have separated the single family from

44、 the larger society, we have expected each couple to take on a range of obligations that traditionally have been shared within a family and a wider community.So all over the world there are millions of families left alone, as it were, each in its own boxparents faced with the specter of what may hap

45、pen if either one gets sick, children fearful that their parents may end their quarrels with divorce, and empty-handed old people without any role in the life of the next generation.Then, having reduced little by little to almost nothing the relationship between families and the community, when fami

46、lies get into trouble because they Cannot accomplish the impossible, we turn their problems over to impersonal social agencies, which can act only in a fragmented way because they are limited to patchwork programs that often are too late to accomplish what is most needed.Individuals and families do

47、get some kind of help, but what they learn and what those who work hard within the framework of social agencies convey, even as they try to help, is that families should be able to care for themselves.（分数：3.00）(1).According to the author, when young families are isolated, _.（分数：1.00）A.old people can

48、 easily accept the changeB.people can move from place to placeC.individuals can hardly become innovativeD.economy develops at high speed(2).What is said to be the major problem facing young couples?（分数：1.00）A.They need to fulfill more duties.B.They are incapable of balancing the budget.C.They have their children spoiled and overindulged.D.They get empty-handed after divorce.(3).The author implies that _.（分数：1.00）A.social agencies in America can be very helpful
