20、amilies begin with the joining together of a man and a woman in marriage. All societies have their own form of marriage. The ideas that we have about marriage are part of our cultural background; they are part of our basic beliefs about right and wrong. As we study marriage, we find that different c
21、ultures have solved the problem of finding a spouse in different ways. In traditional Chinese culture, parents made marriage decisions for their children. Parents who wanted to find a spouse for their son or daughter asked a marriage counselor(媒人)to find someone with the right qualities, including a
22、ge and educational background. Older family members, who understood that the goal of marriage was to produce healthy sons, made the all-important decision of marriage. In traditional Chinese society, sons were important because they would take positions as head of the family and keep the family name
23、 alive. One view of marriage that surprises most of us today was held by John Noyes, a religious man who started the Oneida Community in the state of New York in 1831. Noyes decided that group marriage was the best way for men and women to live together. In this form of marriage, men and women chang
24、ed partners frequently. They were expected to love all members of the community equally. Children belonged to all members of the community, and all the adults worked hard to support themselves and shared everything they had. Members of the Oneida Community lived together for a while without any seri
25、ous problems; however, this way of life ended when John Noyes left in 1876. Without his leadership and special way of thinking, members of the community quickly returned to the traditional marriage of one woman and one man.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, our ideas about marriage are_.（分数：2.0

30、 marriage continued.D.The Oneida Community was Utopian(乌托邦的).Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we may think. Daniel Goleman s fascinating and persuasive book argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely in terms of how w
31、e do in life. Drawing on groundbreaking(开辟新天地的)brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors add up to a different way of being smartone he terms “emotional intelligence“. Psychologist Danie
32、l Goleman s book is a depiction of the role emotional intelligence plays in defining character and determining destiny. He had produced an eminently readable and persuasive work that shows us how to develop our emotional intelligence in ways that can improve our relationships, our parenting, our cla
33、ssrooms and our workplaces. Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, excitement and self-motivation, empathy and social skill. Goleman assures us that our temperaments may be determined by brain chemistry, but they can be altered. We could turn society on its
34、ears(颠倒)if we learned to recognize our emotions and control our reactions; if we combined our thinking with our feeling; if we learned to follow our flow of feeling in our research for creativity.（分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of the passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.to point our view of human intelligence is too n

39、s are bom in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half-dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that gives them hurricane(飓风)status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring de
40、ath to large numbers of people. The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundredseven thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, mo
41、ist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swir
42、l in a counter-clockwise(逆时针)motion. The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than
43、six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6-to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the seathe mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water lev
44、el rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage mainly describes_.（分数：2.00）A.the growth of hurricaneB.the damage caused by hurricanesC.the average life of a hurricaneD.All above(2).A hurricane status refers to a strong, whirling wind of_ .（分数：2.00）A.75 mi

48、terHuman needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. Many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level
49、 of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level
