27、of the test. Read the passage through. Then, go back and choose one suitable word or phrase marked A, B, C, or D for each blank in the passage.The process by means of which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things many be called the symbolic process.Everywhere we turn, we

There are U U 1 /U /Uthings men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value.Almost all fashionable clothes are U U 2 /U /Usymbolic, so is food. We U U 3 /U /Uour furniture to serve U U 4 /U /Uvisible symbols of our taste, wealth, and

34、6，分数：30.00)Directions: In this part of the test, there are six short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow.Passage OneIn the U.S.A, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the death penalty, som
35、e use the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection.The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of p
36、assion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else.The pro-hanging lobby(赞成极刑的活动集团) uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murde
37、rers theory would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed.The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a mu
38、rderer intentionally set out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. But there are
39、also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for executions and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen
40、.The other reasons oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge.（分数：5.00）(1).All of the followin
41、g death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _ A. the electric chair B. the lethal injection C. the poisonous gas D. the shooting（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT? A. Ruth Ellis was shot by his lover, which wa
42、s regarded as a crime of passion. B. The death penalty may help the potential murderers to arouse moral awareness. C. The intentional murderer should eat his own bitter fruit. D. According to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe as the injury sufferer.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In paragr
43、aph 3, “deterrence“ means _. A. proclamation B. protest C. prevention D. protection（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can learn from the last paragraph that _. A. neither the state nor the individual has the right to take a life B. the state has the right to take a life but the individual does not C. the death
44、 penalty has nothing to do with individual conscience and belief D. the deterrence figures have added up and the execution rate has fallen（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The passage is mainly about _. A. the argument in favor of the death penalty B. the argument against the death penalty C. the argument about
45、the abolition of the death penalty D. the argument about the reintroduction of the death penalty（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Passage TwoMartha Grahams territory of innumerable dances and a self-sufficient dance technique is a vast but closed territory, since to create an art out of ones experience alone is ulti
46、mately a self-limiting act. If there had been other choreographers with Grahams gifts and her stature, her word might have seemed a more balanced part of the story of American dance. But as she built her repertory, her own language seemed to shut out all other kinds. Even when an audience thinks it
47、discerns traces of influence from other dance styles, the totality of Grahams theatrical idiom, its control of costumes, lights, and every impulse of the dance makes the reference seen a mirage. Dance is not her main subject. It is only her servant.Graham had achieved her autonomy by 1931. By that time, three giant figures who had invente
