Although we can consult books and friends and critics, in the end we are limited to our own single perspectives. We are only one person-looking at the world from o
24、ne place, one history, one pattern of knowing.A community, on the other hand can see things through many eyes, many histories, many ways of knowing. The question is whether it dismisses or creatively makes use of and integrates that diversity.Communities are wise to the extent they use diversity wel
25、l. The wisest know that every viewpoint represents a part of the truth and that it is through the cooperative creative interplay of the viewpoints that the wisest, most comprehensive and powerful truths emerge. So they engage in that interplay, that dialogue-a creative controversy or consensus proce
26、ss that winds its way to wise public judgment.The best government is that government which enables communities to do this-to nurture and utilizes their wisdom and resources-especially their diversity-in such a way that they require less and less government.A community that can manage itself in a wis
27、e and sustainable manner is one that has mastered democracy. They know they cant depend on leaders to do things for them. They know that democratic citizens and leaders work best in partnership with each other, co-creating each others power. They know that leaders work must be seen as living extensi
28、ons of their own will and wisdom, which must be kept active. They know that passive “followership“ abandons leaders, deprives them of the wisdom and creativity of the community, and opens them up to the corruptions of alienated power. A democratic community grows beyond dependence and paternalism. I
29、n a sense, the more democratic a society is, the more it has “come of age“. Movements for democracy might even be seen as the maturation process of a culture. A mature society knows how to handle itself in dynamic context with others, drawing on its inner resources (its diverse members) and relating
30、 responsively and creatively with its environment.（分数：6.00）(1).The writer believes that individuals _.（分数：1.00）A.are inevitably more narrow-minded and less resourcefulB.are able to develop lasting friendship within a limited circleC.can focus on one history or one aspect of knowledgeD.must decide wh

35、e allowed to do whatever they want to do(6).In the last paragraph, the phrase “come of age“ is closest in meaning to _.（分数：1.00）A.arrival of a new timeB.reaching maturationC.being advancedD.catching up with the trendBPassage Two/BMost new words are made up from other earlier words; language-making i
36、s a conservative process, wasting little. When new words unfold out of old ones, the original meaning usually hangs around like an unrecognizable scent, a sort of secret.There are two immense words from Indo-European, gene and bheu, each a virtual anthill in itself, from which we have constructed th
37、e notion Of everything. At the beginning or as far back as they are traceable, they meant something like being. Gene signified beginning, giving birth, while bheu indicated existence and growth. Gene turned itself successively into kund jaz (Germanic) and gecynd (Old English), meaning kin or kind. K
38、ind was at first a family connection, later an elevated social rank, and finally came to rest meaning kindly or gentle. Meanwhile, a branch of gene became the Latin gens which emerged as genus, genius, genital, and generous; then still holding on to its inner significance it became “nature“ (out of
39、gnasci).While gene was evolving into “nasture“ and “kind“ bheu was moving through similar transformations. One branch became the English word “build“. It also moved into Greek, as phuein, meaning to bring forth and make grow; then as phusis, which was another word for nature. Phusis became the sourc
40、e of physic which at first meant natural science and later was the word for medicine. Still later, physic became physics.Both words, at todays stage of their evolution, can be taken together to mean, literally, everything in the universe. You do not come by words like this easily; they cannot just b
41、e made up from scratch. They need long lives before they can signify. “Everyting,“ C. S. Lewis observed in a discussion of the words, “is a subject on which there is not much to be said.“ The words themselves must show the internal marks of long use; they must contain their own inner conversation.（分
42、数：4.00）(1).The passage is mainly concerned with _.（分数：1.00）A.how to coin new wordsB.where to trace the origin of languageC.the evolution of wordsD.language and nature(2).When a new word is formed from an old one _.（分数：1.00）A.the original meaning of the old dies outB.it is hard to know the secret of
43、the development of the wordC.the new word carries with itself some of the original meaningD.the meaning of the new word is often confusing(3).Why does the writer say “gene“ and “bheu“ are immense words?（分数：1.00）A.Because they are rich in meaning.B.Because they come from a very old language.C.Beacuse
44、 they remind us of anthill.D.Because they mean beginning and birth.(4).The word “gene“ develops into the following meaings and words EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.beginningB.growthC.generousD.gentleBPassage Three/BTraditionally, the study of history has had fixed boundaries and focal pointsperious, countries,
45、 dramatic events, and great leaders. It has also had clear and firm notions of scholarly procedure: how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documents ones findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof.Anyone who has followed recent historical literature, can testi
46、fy to the revolution that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable subjetcs come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old qu
47、estions “What happened?“ and “How did it happen?“ have given way to the question “Why did it happen?“ Prominent among the methods used to answer the question “Why“ is psychoanalysis, and its use has given rise to psychohistory.Psychohistory does not merely use psychological explanations in historica
48、l context. Historians have always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was sufficient evidence for them. But this practical use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend. They are committed not just to psychology in general, but to Frendian psychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment history as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derives its “facts“ not from history, the detailed records o
