For each of the
20、m, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41 Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new
21、sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is sa
22、tisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly we
23、ll satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It inc
24、ludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending
25、 goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be
26、achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets(衣橱), our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leis
27、ure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.41 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _.（A）he has saved up enough money（B） he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter（C） he has satisfied his hunger（D）he has lear
28、ned to build houses42 It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of the World War II most Americans _.（A）were very rich（B） lived in poverty（C） had the good things on the first three levels（D）did not own automobiles43 All of the following except _ are related to “physical satisfactions“.（A）a
29、 successful career（B） a cozy home（C） a good service（D）a family car44 The main concern of man on the fourth level is _.（A）the more goods the better（B） the more mental satisfaction the better（C） the more “luxury“ items the better（D）the more earnings the better45 The author is inclined to think that a
30、fifth level _.（A）would be little better than the fourth level（B） may be a lot more desirable than the first level（C） can be the last and most satisfying level（D）will become attainable if the government takes action46 We are all naturally attracted to people with idea, beliefs and interests like our
31、own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar to ours.You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy those we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsmans individual way of walking with rai
32、sed shoulder is imitated by an admiring fan; a pair of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself duplicating his bosss habit of wagging (摇摆) a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may not consciously notice the imitation, but he
33、will feel comfortable in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to him.Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect m this
34、way without being aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy. Some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical mirroring.The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customers movements, tilting her head in the same way to judge a color matc
35、h, or folding her arms a few seconds after the customer, as though consciously attracted by her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and understands her needs a promising relationship for a sale to take place.The Clever lawyer, trying in la law-court to influence a judge,
36、 imitates the great man shrugging of his shoulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you blind (眨眼) every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery (嘲笑) and you can expect
37、trouble. So, if you cant model sympathetically, dont play the game.46 According to the passage, “physical mirroring“ (line 4, paragraph 4) means _.（A）the attraction to people with ideas, belief and interests like our own（B） the comfortable feeling about people with physical qualities similar to ours
38、（C） the fact that people living or working closely together behave in a similar way（D）the imitation of the gestures or movements of those we are close to, or love, or admire47 According to the author, all of the following except _ are the deliberate uses of physical mirroring.（A）a saleswoman tilts h
39、er head after her customer to judge a color match（B） a lawyer imitates the tone of the judges voice and the rhythm of his speech（C） sensitive people have been mirroring their friends all their lives（D）a naughty boy blinks every time the teacher blinks48 Which of the following is true?（A）Sensitive pe
40、ople have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances because they want to win their affection and respect（B） The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customers movements because she is unconsciously attracted by her（C） The man who imitates the judge is trying to influence him（D）Physical mirroring i
41、s always flattering to those who are imitated49 Physical mirroring can cause trouble if _.（A）The person mirrored finds that people are drawn to him（B） the mirroring ha become mockery（C） the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge does（D）it has been found to be deliberately used50 The paragraph
42、 following this passage will most probably move on to _.（A）some ways to prevent physical mirroring from offending（B） the mirroring has become mockery（C） the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge does（D）it has been found to be deliberately used51 The U. S. Army Infantry (步兵), which calls Fort
43、 Benning home, has fought in every major conflict involving the nations military. Yet developing a program for effective infantry training came neither quickly nor easily. The first movement to shape the countrys foot soldiers into a superior force came more than 200 years ago at the request of the
44、general who became the first president of the United States.Revolutionary forces commanded by General George Washington were barely surviving as they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the winter of 1777. Washington realized that his soldiers, shivering in rags. Needed better training if t
45、here were to be any hope of winning against the well-schooled British army. He sought advice from the respected Prussian (普鲁士) general, Baron Fredreich von Steuben.Von Steuben agreed to help, but recognized the huge challenge he faced to change the loose band of rebels into a disciplined, well-organ
46、ized force. As one observer at the time noted, the colonial army “was the finest body of troops he had ever seen out of step . Von 8teubens own assessment was that the Continental Army was a shame. “There was no uniformity of drill, no similarity of organization , and no teamwork of any kind “, wrot
47、e Leroy Yarborough, first lieutenant (中尉) of infantry , in an unpublished 1931 history of Fort Benning. No two companies drilled alike. And they all drilled poorly.But Von Steuben was resourceful and energetic and known for his persuasiveness. He established standard drill exercises and taught them
48、patiently, but persistently to the troops. Once he saw progress, he chose those most skilled in military formations to demonstrate for the rest to imitate. This practice of using the best troops to model techniques and tactics become fundamental in military training, continuing long after the Revolu
49、tionary War. For his efforts, Von Steuben is known as the “Father of the U. S. Infantry.“51 The first two paragraphs tell us _.（A）how Von Steuben became the general of the American infantry（B） how the revolutionary forces came to be commanded by Washington（C） how Washington set about asking von Steuben t
