These seven million people from the great old Indian nations live in a land of few trees, poor
3、 soil, cutting winds and biting cold. Their farms do not give enough food to support them. Their children from the age of three or four must work in the fields. The death rate of their babies is among the highest in the world, their standards of education among the lowest. They live at heights of te
4、n or fifteen thousand feet, where even the air lacks the things necessary for life. The needs of these Indians, scattered across three countries Ecuador, Peru and Boliviaare great. Their problems are difficult and their diseases are deeply rooted in an old-fashioned way of life. Probably no single p
5、rogram of help can greatly better their condition. Health programs are no good without farm programs, and farm programs fail where there have been no programs of education. Five international organizations have combined efforts to seek the answers to the problems of the unfortunate descendants of th
6、e Inca Indians. They are working with the governments of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador on what they call the Andean Mission. Six areas have been formed, one each in Ecuador and Peru, four in Bolivia. Here methods are tested to attack poor education, poor food, poor living conditions and disease all at o
7、nce. We passed fields of low com and thin wheat. Whole villages were at work planting potatoes. The men formed a line and walked slowly backward, beating the soil with sticks. The women, on hands and knees, followed the men, breaking the hard earth with their hands. Their red and orange skirts flash
8、ed brightly in the sun. The scene was beautiful, but the land, seeds and crops were all poor. Upon arriving at a village, we went to visit the school for carpenters. It was in an old building where thirty boys were attending classes. There were two classrooms containing complete sets of tools. I saw
9、 more tools there than in any carpenters shop in Latin America. Most of the boys were cutting boards for practice. They worked steadily and didnt even look up when we entered. The teacher remarked that the greatest problem at the moment was finding wood, as almost no trees grow on a high plain. Some
10、one remarked that it would not take long for the school to produce too many carpenters in an area without trees, where most of the buildings were of stone or mud. The wood brought from the jungle was too costly for most of the people. The answer was that the original purpose of the school was to tra
11、in carpenters and mechanics to go to other parts of the country. They would work where the government is developing new villages at the edge of the jungle. Across from the carpentry-room there was a machine for producing electric power. With it the boys would be taught their first lessons in electri
12、city. Other boys studied car repairing. In the yard a group of boys surrounded a large tractor. The teacher was showing them how to operate it. No one was sure how many other tractors there were in the area. Guesses ranged from two to ten. If the school turned out more boys to handle them than the f
13、arms could use, the rest, it was hoped, would seek a living in the lower villages where more people lived. The next day, against the cutting winds of the Bolivian mountains, we were going to a village that is the oldest of the four Bolivian projects of the Andean mission. Behind us, across the valle
14、y, rain fell from the black clouds beyond the snowy mountain-tops. The wind and rain beat against the car as we traveled across the open fields to come to the yard of an old farm. My trip had been panned at the last minute. Since the village has no telegraph to telephone services, no one was expecti
15、ng me. All the driver knew was that I was a visiting “doctor“ simply because I was wearing a tie. He showed me into a large room of the farmhouse where some twenty men were watching film. It concerned the problems of a man who could neither read nor write. But in the face of difficulties he managed
16、to start an adult education class in his village. He did this so that he could learn to read and win his girl friends respect. From time to time during the film the lights would go on and during these breaks everyone introduced himself. They had been brought together for a three-week course in how t
17、o teach, and to add to their own education, which in several cases had not gone beyond the third grade. Though they had not had much training they had the help of great interest and, most important, they knew the native language. When the picture show was over the Bolivian teachers pulled on their w
18、ool caps, wrapped their blankets around them, and went off to their beds. Some of the international teachers went with me to the kitchen, where the cook had heated some food. We talked of the troubles and the progress of the school, until the lights were put out several times. This was a warning tha
19、t the electric power was about to be shut off for the night. During the first two years the village project had a difficult time. The mission had accepted the use of a farm from a large landowner, and the natives believed that the lands would be returned to the owner after ten years. The Mission beg
20、an at a time when the Bolivian Government was introducing land-improvement laws. Most of the people believed that the officers of the Mission were working for the owner, who was against the dividing up of the land. They had as little to do with the owner as possible. Not until the government took po
21、ssession of the farm and divided the land did the feeling of the Indians toward the Mission change for the better. （分数：71.00）(1).The Andean Indians live in the villages all over South America.（分数：7.10）A.YB.NC.NG(2).The problem of too many carpenters from the training schools would be solved by movin

35、, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an (36) 1result or product that can easily be (37) 2 and measured. The worker who gets a (38) 3, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language all these are examples of people who have (39) 4results
36、 to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to (40) 5, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or (41) 6along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the (42) 7and feelings people have, their caution or cou
37、rage, as they (43) 8new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to conf
38、ront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail“ at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, (44) 9. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Do we think were shy and indecisive
39、? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. (45) 10? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feeling of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change
40、 and grow. (46) 11. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：177.00)For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called hum
41、an nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists - that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational being, as a social animal, an
42、animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal. More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our epoch is so diff
43、erent from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature“. The historical approach was reinforced, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of
44、primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixe
45、d human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the ca
46、pitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as innate (天生的) human traits. Popularly, one refers cynically to “human nature“ in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying. A
47、nother reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from a
48、n evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man. （分数：88.50）(1).The traditional view of “human nature“ was strongly challenged by _.（分数：17.70）A.the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB.the historical approach to manC.new insight into human behaviorD.the philosophical analysis of slavery(2).According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings _.（分数：17.70）A.have some traits in commonB.are bor
