For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER S

28、HEET with a single line through the center. 30 Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter

29、of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role

30、that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest. No man ever looks at the world with pristine (未受外界影响的 ) eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probings he cannot go behind these

31、 stereotypes (固定的模式 ); his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey has said in all seriousness that the part played by custom in shaping the behavior of the individual as over against any way in which he can affect tradition

32、al custom, is as the proportion of the total vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those words of his own baby talk that are taken up into the language of his family. When one seriously studies social orders that have had the opportunity to develop independently, the figure (这种比喻 ) becomes no

33、 more than an exact and matter-of-fact observation. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an adjustment to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community. From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behavior. By th

34、e time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities. 31 The author thinks the reason why custom has been ignored in the academic

35、world is that （ A） custom reveals only the superficial nature of human behavior （ B） the study of social orders can replace the study of custom （ C） people are still not aware of the important role that custom plays in forming our world outlook （ D） custom has little to do with our ways of thinking

36、32 Which of the following is true according to John Dewey? （ A） An individual can exercise very little influence on the cultural tradition into which he is born. （ B） Custom is the direct result of the philosophical probings of a group of people. （ C） An individual is strongly influenced by the cult

37、ural tradition even before he is born. （ D） Custom represents the collective wisdom which benefits the individual. 33 The word “custom“ in this passage most probably means_. （ A） the concept of the true and the false of a society （ B） the independently developed social orders （ C） the adjustment of

38、the individual to the new social environment （ D） the patterns and standards of behavior of a community 34 According to the passage, a persons life, from his birth to his death, _. （ A） is constantly shaping the cultural traditions of his people （ B） is predominated by traditional custom （ C） is con

39、tinually influenced by the habits of other communities （ D） is chiefly influenced by the people around him 35 The authors purpose in writing this passage is_. （ A） to urge individuals to follow traditional customs （ B） to stress the strong influence of customs on an individual （ C） to examine the in

40、teraction of man and social customs （ D） to show mans adjustment to traditional customs 35 How often one hears children wishing they were grown up and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives

41、 him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having t

42、o do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or bei

43、ng punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,

44、 he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. 36 According to Par

48、n ones life （ D） one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life 40 The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss_. （ A） examples of successful young men （ B） how to build up ones position in society （ C） joys and pains of old people （ D） what to do when one has

49、problems in life 40 Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages.
