For a long time this nation has attracted tou
20、ristsit is the home of calypso music and limbo dancingand in recent years its healthy economy has attracted investors as well.Trinidad and Tobago is a single country composed of two islands Trinidad, with the majority of the countrys 900,000 inhabitants, is a rectangle of roughly fifty by forty mile
21、s. Tobago, nineteen miles to the north, is smaller and has a population of about 35,000.Situated at the end of the long chain of Windward and Leeward Islands, Trinidad is at one point only seven miles off the coast of Venezuela. Its geology, flora, and fauna are similar to those of the South America
22、n mainland. Like Venezuela, the backbone of Trinidad and Tobagos economy is petroleum and its first colonists were Spaniards.Three mountain ranges, with summits of up to 3,000 feet, cross Trinidad from east to west, while Tobago is a relatively flat coral island, rimmed with fine beaches. The broad
23、plains between Trinidads mountain ranges are dominated by vast fields of sugar cane that present a symmetrical green pattern when seen from the air. A closer inspection reveals the coconut plantations along the coast and the profusion of brilliant red and yellow flowers of various species that are f
24、ound all over the island. Houses on both islands tend to be light-colored, with an open style of architecture, in many cases with open space under the entire dwelling. Port-of-Spain, the capital, is a bustling modern city where the pulse of the people reflects Britist, Spanish, and East Indian influ

27、.Sugar cane grows best _.A. in mountainous areas B. along the coastC. in valleys D. in coral islands（分数：1.50）A.B.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：8.00)The component of the healthy personality that is the first to develop is the sense of trust. As with other personality components, the sense of trust is no
28、t something that develops independent of other manifestations of growth. It is not that infants learn how to use their bodies for purposeful movement, learn to recognize people and objects around them, and also develop a sense of trust. Rather, the concept “sense of trust“ is a shortcut expression i
29、ntended to convey the characteristic flavor of all the childs satisfying experiences at this early age.Studies of mentally ill individuals and observations of infants who have been grossly deprived of affection suggest that trust is an early-formed and important element in the healthy personality. P
30、sychiatrists find again and again that the most serious illnesses occur in patients who have been sorely neglected or abused or otherwise deprived of love in infancy.Observations of infants brought up in emotionally unfavorable institutions or moved to hospitals with inadequate facilities for psycho
31、logical care support these findings. A recent report says that “Infants under 5 months of age who have been in an institution for some time present a well-defined picture. The outstanding features are listlessness, relative immobility, quietness, poor sleep, an appearance of unhappiness, etc.“ Anoth
32、er investigation of children separated from their mothers at 6 to 12 months and not provided with an adequate substitute comes to much the same conclusion.Most significant for our present point, these reactions are most likely to occur in children who, up to the time of separation at 6 to 9 months o
33、f age, had a happy relation with their mothers, while those whose relations were unhappy are relatively unaffected. It is at about this age that the struggle between trusting and mistrusting the world comes to a climax, for it is then that children first perceive clearly that they and their environm
34、ent are things apart. That at this point formerly happy infants should react do badly to separation suggests, indeed, that they had a faith that now has been shattered.In most primitive societies and in some sections of our own society, the attention accorded infants is more in line with natural pro
35、cesses. Throughout infancy the baby is surrounded by people who are ready to feed it, fondle it, and otherwise comfort it at a moments notice. Moreover, these ministrations are given spontaneously and wholeheartedly, and without that element of nervous concern that may characterize the efforts of yo
36、ung mothers made self-conscious and insecure by our scientific age.We must not exaggerate, however. Most infants in our society too find smiles and comfort. As their own bodies come to be more dependable, there is added to the pleasures of increasing sensory response and motor control the pleasure o
37、f the mothers encouragement. Then, too, psychologists tell us that mothers create a sense of trust in their children not by the particular techniques they employ but by the sensitiveness with which they respond to the childrens needs and by their overall attitude.（分数：7.98）(1).The sense of trust in a
38、n infant is under development when _.A. the infant experiences some satisfactionB. adults trust is adequateC. the infant learns how to moveD. the infant is surrounded by people he can recognize（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(2).The author raises evidence of mental illness and other disorders in children _.A. to i
39、ntroduce a discussion of the effect of institutions on childrenB. to show the effect on children of an unhappy relation with their mothers during infancyC. to warn parents of the dangers of neglecting and abusing their childrenD. to support the point that trust is an early formed and important eleme
40、nt of a healthy personality（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(3).Babies might mistrust the world if _.A. they did not receive food when they were hungryB. they mastered their body movements too quicklyC. someone came too close to themD. they saw an object disappear（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(4).The climax in the development o
41、f a sense of trust occurs _.A. before maternal affection is providedB. when a child perceives that he or she is separate from the environmentC. when a child successfully controls his or her muscular coordinationD. as a result of maternal separation（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(5).A possible reason that a child
42、having an unhappy relation with his/her mother will not be affected by maternal separation at 6 to 9 months is that _.A. the struggle between trusting and mistrusting has reached a climaxB. the child sees himself/herself as being separate from the environmentC. the childs sense of trust is destroyed
43、D. no sense of trust has ever developed（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(6).According to this passage, the most important factor in developing a sense of trust is _A. the type of techniques used by the motherB. the sensitivity of the childC. maternal loveD. the combined effect of natural feeling and cultural attitu
44、des（分数：1.14）A.B.C.D.(7).How can mothers create a sense of trust in a child?A. By showing confidence and experience in front of the child.B. By applying techniques taught by psychologists.C. By showing the child that the mother is understanding of his/her wants.D. By offering smiles and comforts.（分数：
45、1.14）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)The earliest controversies about the relationship between photography and art centered on whether photographys fidelity to appearances and dependence on a machine allowed it to be a fine art, as distinct from merely a practical art. Throughout the nineteent
46、h century, the defense of photography was identical with the struggle to establish it as a fine art. Against the charge that photography was a soulless, mechanical copying of reality, photographers asserted that it was instead a privileged way of seeing, a revolt against commonplace vision, and no l
47、ess worthy an art than painting.Ironically, now that photography is securely established as a fine art, many photographers find it pretentious or irrelevant to label it as such. Serious photographers variously claim to be finding, recording, impartially observing, witnessing events, exploring themse
48、lves-anything but making works of art. In the nineteen century, photography s association with the real world placed it in an ambivalent relation to art; late in the twentieth century, an ambivalent relation exists because of the Modernist heritage in art. That important photographers are no longer
49、willing to debate whether photography is or is not a fine art, except to proclaim that their own work is not involved with art, shows the extent to which they simply take for granted the concept of art imposed by the triumph of Modernism: the better the art, the more subversive it is of the traditional aims of art.Photographers disclaimers of any interest in making art tell us mo
