8、owing three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 10 The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the worlds great writers. Before considering this question, it will be useful to introduce some related
9、concepts. Conflict, defined as opposition among social entities directed against one another, is distinguished from competition, defined as opposition among social entities independently striving for something which is in inadequate supply. Competitors may not be a-ware of one another, while the par
10、ties to a conflict are. Conflict and competition are both categories of opposition, which has been defined as a process by which social entities function in the disservice of one another. Opposition is thus contrasted with cooperation, the process by which social entities function in the service of
11、one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited resources. But conflict is not. Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur, and is probably an essential and desirable element of
12、human society. Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from the premise that in the struggle for existence among animal species, only the fittest survive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Social animals, such as monkeys and cattle, fight to win
13、 or maintain leadership of the group. The struggle for existence occurs not in such fights, but in the competition for limited feeding areas and for the occupancy(占有 )of areas free from meat-eating animals. Those who fail in this competition starve to death or become victims to other species. This s
14、truggle for existence does not resemble human war, but rather the competition of individuals for jobs, markets, and materials. The essence of the struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are insufficient to satisfy all. Among nations there is competition in developing resources,
15、trades, skills, and a satisfactory way of life. The successful nations grow and prosper (繁荣 ); the unsuccessful decline. While it is true that this competition may induce efforts to expand territory at the expense of others, and thus lead to conflict, it cannot be said that war-like conflict among n
16、ations is inevitable, although competition is. 11 In the first paragraph, the author gives the definitions of some terms in order to （ A） argue for the similarities between animal societies and human societies （ B） smooth out the conflicts in human societies （ C） distinguish between two kinds of opp
17、osition （ D） summarize the characteristic features of opposition and cooperation 12 According to the author competition differs from conflict in that_. （ A） it results in war in most cases （ B） it induces efforts to expand territory （ C） it is a kind of opposition among social entities （ D） it is es
18、sentially a struggle for existence 13 The phrase“function in the disservice of one another“(Line para. 1) most probably means“_“. （ A） betray each other （ B） harm one another （ C） help to collaborate with each other （ D） benefit one another 14 The author indicates in the passage that conflict_. （ A）
19、 is an inevitable struggle resulting from competition （ B） reflects the struggle among social animals （ C） is an opposition among individual social entities （ D） can be avoided 15 The passage is probably intended to answer the question“_“. （ A） Is war inevitable? （ B） Why is there conflict and compe

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题应结合第一段的主要内容考虑。显然第一段旨在区别 conflict和 competition的
29、 意思并为下文的论证打下基础。文中又说到 conflict和competition是 opposition的两类，因此 C对。 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。根据第二段第二句， “this struggle( 指 the struggle for existence)innature is competition， not conflict”以及最后一句 “The essence of the struggle is thecompetition for” 可知 D正确。有些考生因第一段第三 句出现了“competition ， defined as opposition am
30、ong social entities” 而误选 C。 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 词汇题，需要根据构词法和上下文推测短语的意思。理解这些短语意思的关键是对 disservice的理解，根据构词法，前缀 dis一表示否定， service为“服务，帮助 ”，因此可推测 disservice是 “服务，帮助 ”的反义。此外，从上下文看，作者将对抗与合作对比，对抗是 “indisservice of one another”，合作是 “in service of one another”，而我们知道合作有利，对抗有害，所以推测整个短语是“有害于彼此 ”的意思。 14 【正确答案】 D 【
31、试题解析】 根据文章的最后一句： “It cannot be said that war like conflict among nations isinevitable” 可知， conflict不是不可避免的，这正是作者的结论。因此， D对。 A说它是不可避免的，显然不对； B是文中没有的内容； C的表述与第一段 conflict的定义字面上在些相似，但意思完全不同， conflict并不是 “单个社会实体内部的抗争 ”C，而是 “社会实体之间的抗争 ”。 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 主旨题，考文章的中心思想。文章开头即点出主题 战争是否不可避免，最后一句又得出结论 “不能说战争
32、是不可避免的 ”。很容易看出文章是围绕 “战争是否不可避免 ”这一问题展开的。 Part A 16 【正确答案】 Dear Mr. Macdougal, I was very happy to hear that you have been elected President of the Scotland China Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and in my own name, to express my warmest congratulations.
