that the Soviets had understandably defensive intent ions at the end of World War II and that the United States had behaved aggressively and irresponsibly. Some of these critics pointed an accusing finger at Truman. they declared that he had abandoned Roosevelt's conciliatory(iE FuAd)approach and adopted a bulling attitude, emboldened by Americans atomic monopoly. The more radical of thos people like the Kolkos found the roots of American aggression before Trumans time in long standing policies of economic expansion In the 1970s a"neoorthodox" interpretation emerged. Historians of this school, like John L Gaddis, still place most of the blame for the Cold War on the Soviet Union, but they admit that American policies helped worsen the conflict. They also note how the constraints of domestic politics and the miscalculations of American leaders led a nation in search of international security into dangerous Cold War. This historical debate over the origins of the Cold War has compelled the recognition that the United States did have vital interests at stake in postwar di plomacy, and that policymakers pursued those interests with eagerness. But is self?interest necessarily immoral?Is security a one?way street? Can the blame ever be exclusively with one side in a complex international dispute? 51. People of the "orthodox view placed blame for starting the Cold War on the Soviet Union A. they didn t want America to take sole responsibility B. they supported America in its foreign policy in Vietnam C. they believed that America was always right in its foreign policy D. they could find peace of mind in such a belief By saying that "people who held this view attempted to reverse the orthodox view (the fifth sentence in paragraph 1), the author means that those people A.didn' t quite agree to the“ orthodox”view B. held an opposite view to the“ orthodox”one C. considered the "orthodox" view unworthy of notice D. were faithful supporters of the Soviet foreign policies The "neoorthodox"view held that should take responsibility for the Cold War A. the Soviet union B. the United states C. neither of those two countries D. both of those two countries In the last paragraph, the author seems to imply that A. the Soviet Union should take sole responsibility B. the United States should take sole responsibility C. the Cold War wasn t started on one side only D, neither side started the cold war assage 2 Does the evidence that the left and right sides of the brain differ somewhat in function have implications for personality differences? There is research indicating that the right hemi sphere is linked to negative emotions, to spatial or imagery processing, and to thinking of pure melodies, while the left hemisphere is linked to verbal and mathematical thought and positive tions. Is it possible that each half of the brain reflects two basic but different dimensions of human capacity ?Are some personality differences that involve consistent styles of information processing of reflective thought correlated with a greater activation of the left and righ hemispheres? Adults who differ in their al encoding styles also demonstrate brain wave patterns or eye movement differences that suggest they "favor one or another hemi sphere of the brain during reflective thought. An approach to studying such differences has emerged by examining the direction in which people shift their eyes when trying to reflect on a question or to recall information. Anatomically(从解剖学上来说) the neural pathway from the left eye goes to the right hemisphere of the brain and from the right eye to the left hemisphere. Since our eyes normally shift together, it has been shown that the stimulation of the right brain hemisphere leads to a shift of the eyes to the left and, correspondingly, left hemisphere stimulation shifts the eyes to the right. Studies of persons who show consistent left or right eye shifts when engaged in reflective

thought do offer some support for the views. Right shifters (that is, those whose left brain are most active)are more analytic in perceptual performance and score higher on measures of verbal concept formation, mathematics scores, and measures of mathematical, scientific, or theoretical interests, Left shifters are more imagery oriented, more inclined to daydream, more creative and aesthetically oriented.

Calling the book a novel is the publishers mistake, the work is more nearly a drar Perhaps it is one of Mr Drake s psychodramas in print and should so be judged 59.

An important question is the degree to which these should guide leaders in their actions. There are arguments for and against the use of polls as he basis for policy decisions. olls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of line with the publics thinking. In a democratic society, the effectiveness of a public policy often depends on the extent of its public support. When a policy is contrary to the public s desires, people may choose to disregard or undermine it, thus making it counterproductive or inefficient. Further, when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees, it risks a loss of public confidence, which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead The Reagan administration, flying high from 1981 to 1985, was brought low in 1986 by public reaction to news of its secret sales of weapons to Iran. The administration had not paid sufficient attention to polls that revealed the deep antagonism Americans still felt toward Iran because the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime had held sixty three American hostages(A )inl9791981. However, leaders can also do a disservice to the public they represent by using poll results as a substitute for policy judgment. "Effective government", as Walter Lippmann wrote, " cannot be conducted by legislators and officials who, when a question is presented, ask themselves first and last not what is the truth and which is the right and necessary course, but What does the Gallup poll say?" During his presidential term, Jimmy Carter proposed five consecutive inflation fighting programs, changing his plans with each shift in public sentiment wi thout having invested the political capital necessary to get Congress and the country behind any of the efforts. The nation and Carter would probably have been better served by a steadfast commitment to a single course of action 63. The main idea of the second paragraph is that A. Reagan lost a lot of support later in his administratio B. leaders should learn to win support for their policies C. it is up to the leaders to determine the value of public opinion D. public opinion polls are very important to a democratic society What Walter lippi eans is that

Polls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of line with the public's thinking.In a democratic society,the effectiveness of a public policy often depends on the extent of its public support.When a policy is contrary to the public's desires,people may choose to disregard or undermine it,thus making it counterproductive or inefficient.Further,when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees,it risks a loss of public confidence,which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead.The Reagan administration,flying high from 1981 to 1985, was brought low in 1986 by public reaction to news of its secret sales of weapons to Iran.The administration had not paid sufficient attention to polls that revealed the deep antagonism Americans still felt toward Iran because the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime had held sixty three American hostages(人 质)in 1979 1981.

Passage 5 The transplantation of functioning human immune systems into mice was reported by two California research teams in September 1988. The mice should have many important uses in medical science, such as enabling researchers to test treatments against a number of diseases and to study the effects of infectious microorganisms-including the AIDs virus-on the human immune system. Both research groups-at the Medical Biology Institute in La Jolla and at Standford University-started with a special strain of mice that are without an immune system. The La jolla scientists injected the mice with human B cells and T cells, white blood cells that are ma jor components of the immune system. The cells reproduced in the mice s bodies and migrated throughout he animals circulatory systems. The Stanford researchers implanted human fetal lival tissues, thymus gland tissues, and lymph nodes, into the mice. In the mice bodies, the liver cells produced stem cells, which develop into the various kinds of blood cells. The implanted tissues converted the stem cells into b cells and T cells The mice with immune system transplants by both research teams were fully protected against infectious disease. Ordinarily, mice of the strain used by the scientists die soon after birth unless they are kept in a sterile(无菌的) environment 67. The purpose of the researches in those two universities was to A. use mouse blood to treat many diseases B. use human blood to cure sick mice C. find out how human immune system might be affected D. find out if human immune system was similar to that of mice The two researchers were similar in that both research groups A. had the same objective to their researches B. used the same procedures in their researches C. injected the same kind of blood cells into the mice D. used the same experimental instrument in their work Finally the two researches A. had quite different findings B. got similar findings C. failed since the mice soon died D. had no particular results Comparedwith Standford University researchers, those in the other university A. experimented with fewer kinds of blood cells C. employed a more direct method D. got less convincing results

(72) By and large,the American diet continued to reflect a considerable reliance upon animal products,rather than on grains,which meant that a relatively large acreage was required to feed the American pulblic. Whereas a grain and fish diet,such as in Japan,requires only a quarter of an acre high yield cropland and no pasture per capita,the American diet requires about two and a half acres of cropland and ten acres of pasture per capita.Also it indicated a shift toward the so called protective foods,toward those high in vitamins and proteins.(73) This change was greatly furthered by governmental food inspection(the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed in 1906),by the increasing use of mechanical refrigerators in the 1920's and 1930's and of freezers for frozen food during recent decades.

Fortunately most of the major dietary changes that have taken place since the middle of the nineteenth century have resulted in better nutrition for the population.In part,these shifts have taken place because of a preference for new foods rather than old,but in part,they have been made because the new foods were advocated by nutritionists.Apparently American dietary customs were not so deeply ingrained as to prevent change in the interests of better health.(75) Possibly one factor that has contributed to the readiness of Americans to accept new foods or food preparations is the general familiarity most have with a variety of regional dishes coming from many different lands. Within a small area in New York City or San Francisco,one can find restaurants specializing in French,Italian,German,Turkish,Arabian,or Chinese cuisine.And at a Chinese resturant in the United States the chef and waiter are as likely as not to be Oriental.
