21、 international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist

22、to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization.

Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjective: musical, amorou

31、d then mark your answers.(6 points)My objective is to analyze certain forms of knowledge, not in terms of repression or law, but in terms of power. But the word power is apt to lead to misunderstandings about the nature, from, and unity of power. By power, I do not mean a group of institutions and m

32、echanisms that ensure the subservience of the citizenry. I do no mean, either, a mode of subjugation that, in contrast to violence, has the form of the rule. Finally, I do not have in mind a general system of domination exerted by one group over another, a system whose effects, through successive de

33、rivations, pervade the entire social body. The sovereignty of the state, the form of law, or the overall unity of a domination are only the terminal forms power takes.It seems to me that power must be understood as the multiplicity of force relations that are immanent in the social sphere; as the pr

34、ocess that, through ceaseless struggle and confrontation, transforms, strengthens, or reverses them; as the support that these force relations find in one another, or on the contrary, the disjunctions and contradictions that isolate them from one another; and lastly, as the strategies in which they

35、take effect, whose general design or institutional crystallization is embodied in the state apparatus, in the formulation of the law, in the various social hegemonies.Thus, the viewpoint that permits one to understand the exercise of power, even in its more: peripheral effects, and that also makes i

37、ender local and unstable states of power If power seems omnipresent, it is not because it has the privilege of consolidating everything under its invincible unity, but because it is produced from one moment to the next, at every point, or rather in every relation from one point to another. Power is

38、everywhere, not because it embraces everything, but because it comes from everywhere. And if power at times seems to be permanent, repetitious, insert, and self-reproducing, it is simply because the overall effect that emerges from all these mobilities is a concatenation that rests on each of them a

39、nd seeks in turn to arrest their movement. Our needs to be nominalistic, no doubt: power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategic situation in a particular society.50 With which of the

40、following statements would the author be most likely to agree?（A）Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.（B） The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it.（C） To love knowledge is to love power.（D）It is from the people and their deeds that power spri

41、ngs.51 It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes the conflict among social forces to be（A）essentially the same from one society to another even though its outward manifestations may seem different（B） usually the result of misunderstandings that impede social progress（C） an inevita

42、ble feature of the social order of any state（D）wrongly blamed for disrupting the stability of society52 According to the passage, states of power are transient because of the（A）differing natures and directions of the forces that create them（B） rigid structural framework in which they operate（C） uniq

46、few men are free? Is he not secure, as few men are secure?The tools of his industry are so common and so cheap that they have almost ceased to have commercial value. He needs no bulky pile of raw material, no elaborate apparatus, no service of men or animals. He is dependent for his occupation upon

47、no one but himself, and nothing outside him that matters. He is the sovereign of an empire, self-supporting, self-contained. No one can sequestrate his estates. No one can deprive his of his stock in trade; no one can force him exercise his faculty against his will; no one can prevent him exercising

48、 it as he chooses.The pen is the great liberator of men and nation. No chains can bind, no poverty can chock, no tariff can restrict the free play of his mind, and even the “Times“ Book Club can only exert a moderately depressing influence upon his rewards. Whether his work is good or bad, so long a

49、s he does his best he is happy. I often fortify myself amid the uncertainties and vexations of political life by believing that I posses a line of retreat into a peaceful and fertile country where no rascal can pursue and where one need never be dull or idle or even wholly without power. It is then, indeed, that I feel grateful to all the brave and generous spirits who,
