13、ly 2-5 times greater than the total land area of the earthis a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely accessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3, 600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected in

14、tense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earths surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of out space.Therefore researchers have been taking samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the firs

15、t detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundations Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Used techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDPs drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to

16、maintain steady position on the oceans surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor.The Glomar Challengers core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct that the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what i

19、divided into, two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains 39 books and the New Testament is a collection of 27 books. Whatever definitive the collection, the books vary in kinds of writing and in length and have emerged into a range of distinctive situations. The b

20、ooks can be read as classic literature, to appreciate each book is saying, and why and how it is saying so. For this purpose it is important, therefore, to bring literary criteria to bear the text, and consider the source, the methods of editing or constructing the text, the style of writing, the va

21、rious indicators of the works structure. It is important to remember, furthermore, the New Testament is not just a set of literary classics, mad was written as the guide book to living the Christian life. The nature of the story and the style of the literature should be considered in the lights of t

22、heir purpose as in preaching and teaching. So we must be fully aware of the context in the Christian communities in which these books were created.

They use the term rationality in the traditional economic sense that assume that consumers behave ra

25、tionally when they carefully consider all alternatives and choose those that give them the greatest utility (i.e. satisfaction) in a marketed context. The tern rationality implies that the consumer selects goods based on totally objective criteria, such as size, weight, price, and so on. Emotional m

26、otives imply the selection of goods according to impersonal or subjective criteriathe desire for individuality, pride, fear, affection or status.The assumption underlying this distinction is that subjective or emotional criteria do not maximize satisfaction; therefore, it is reasonable to assume tha

27、t consumers always attempt to select alternatives that, in their view, serve to minimize satisfaction. Obviously, the assessment of satisfaction is a very personal process, based on the individuals own needs as well as on past behavior, social, and learning experiences. What may appear as irrational

28、 to an outside observer may be perfect rational within the context of the consumers own psychological field. If behavior did not appear rational to the person who undertakes at the time that it is undertaken, obviously he or she would not do it. Therefore the distinction between rational and emotion

29、al motives does not appear to be warranted.Some researchers go so far as to suggest that emphasis of needs obscures the rational, or conscious, nature of most consumer motivation. They claim that consumers act consciously to maximize their gains and minimize their losses; that they act on not from s

36、解析：冠词错误。序数词前须加定冠词，“这是我与丈夫争论的首要问题。(2). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：第一个withof）解析：固定搭配错误。take care of为固定短语词组，意思是“照顾，料理”，在此处是作定语修饰too much，逻辑上的动宾关系，介词不可以用with，这句意思是“总是有太多的事要料理”。(3). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案： topon）解析：介词遗漏。此处意为：我们谁都没有力气持续保持精力充沛的状态，此处需加介词on，与keep起表示“持续”这种状态。(4). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：outup）解析：同定搭配

37、错误。pile out表示“挤出，走出”，例如：Edward parked by the river and we all piled outpile up意为“堆积，积累，搁浅”，例如：The traffic starts piling up around this time此句意为“当积满脏衣物、碗碟、灰尘时，我感到充满怨恨与压力，争吵又开始了”。(5). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：herhers）解析：物主代词错误。根据上下文，应该用名词性物主代词，hers代指“她的工作”；此句意为“大多数夫妻都试图两个人分摊三份全职工作，这三份工作就是他们各自的工作及家务料理”。(6

38、). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：andor）解析：连词误用。此句中有否定词no time，故应用连词or，表示选择，此句意为“没有时间相互之间或与孩子一起放松”。(7). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：includedincluding）解析：非谓语动词错误。include与前面21 hours之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用include的现在分词形式作伴随状语。(8). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：has去掉has）解析：非谓语动词错误。时间状语从句中，谓语动词为think，spend这里应用作非谓语动词，因为time与spend之间是动宾关系，

39、所以此处用spend的过去分词形式作time的定语。(9). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：SoWhile）解析：逻辑错误。根据上下文可以判断，本句和前一句之间没有因果关系。本句从句意为：许多父母没有家人帮忙照顾家庭。主句意为：父母在家中亲自陪伴子女的时间在过去的20年中急剧增长。显然，两部分之间为转折关系，应将SO改为while。(10). 1（分数：1.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：dramaticdramatically）解析：同性错误。此处修饰动词increase的应该是副词，而不是形容词。二、TEST TWO(总题数：1，分数：10.00)One of the stra
