It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family.We are getting a little tired of "Momism" -but we don't want to exchange it for a"neo-Popism".What we need;rather,is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals.There are signs that psychiatrists,psychologists,social workers,and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit-nor the blame.We have almost given up saying that a woman's place is in the home.We are beginning. however,to analyze man's place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it.Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules,because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism()has unhappy consequences,whether it wears skirts or trousers,and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent(相关的,t切题的)not only to a healthy democracy,but also to a healthy family. 57.The idea ofequal rights and equal responsibilities is A)responsible for Momism B)not pertinent to healthy family life C)fundamental to a sound democracy D)what we have almost given up 58.The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that A)the role of the mother may become an inferior one B)the role of the father may become an inferior one C)the sharing leads to constant arguing D)the father becomes physically worn out 59.According to the author,the father'srole in the home is A)identical to the role of the child's mother 2006年9月
新四级备考资料(3) 样卷三 7 2006 年 9 月 Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are difficult to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”. If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before , only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a 1ittle tired of “Momism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need; rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism(命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的,切题的) not. only to a healthy democracy , but also to a healthy family. 57. The idea of equal rights and equal responsibilities is . A) responsible for Momism B) not pertinent to healthy family life C) fundamental to a sound democracy D) what we have almost given up 58. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that . A) the role of the mother may become an inferior one B ) the role of the father may become an inferior one C) the sharing leads to constant arguing D) the father becomes physically worn out 59. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is . A) identical to the role of the child’s mother
新四级备考资料(3) 样卷三 B)minor because he is an ineffectual parent C)irrelevant to the healthy development of the child D)pertinent to the healthy development of the child 60.If a boy and girl has grown up in a home with sharing tasks and decisions,he or she will probably A)accept equality as their parentsdid B)believe that life is a "battle of sexes" C)prepare more fully for participation in a cooperative world D)insist that man has a place in the home 61.The author will be most likely to agree that A)men are basically opposed to sharing household chores B)ahealthy,cooperative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society C)division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory D)the solution of the family problems is unnecessary where sharing is done Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. The old proverb has it that"laugh and the world laughs with you;cry and you cry alone."What's new is the discovery by University of California,San Francisco scientists that the expression on your face can also affect your own feelings and that if you deliberately change that expression your body will automatically respond. Psychologists Paul Ekman,Robert W.Levenson and Wallace Friesen enrolled professional actors in their experiment because they have been trained both to recall emotions from the past and not to be self-conscious or embarrassed when asked to pose.After they were hooked up to equipment that electronically recorded the activity of their involuntary nervous systems,the actors were not told how to feel.But they were instructed to move muscles in their faces to create smile,frowns,and expressions of anger,fear,sadness,happiness,disgust and surprise. Two major findings came out of the study,published in Science magazine.One is that heart rate and skin temperature-both under the control of the autonomic nervous system-vary according to facial expression.This suggests some form of communication between the brain's motor cortex( 层),which governs voluntary movements,.and areas in the brain's hypothalamus(下丘a脑)that instead,deal with unconscious bodily reactions to stimuli. The other finding is that contrary to what had been expected,the facial expressions that convey anger,fear,sadness and disgust each produce a different,but typical pattern of response from the involuntary nervous system.Though the psychologists have not yet detected correspondingly specific patterns for the other emotions they studied.they expect to identify them eventually. As importantly,says Ekman,the new discoveries may,in time,have practical consequences because they "open the door to exploring how emotions cause physical disorders,and offer the possibility of using facial expressions therapeutically(治疗地).” 8 2006年9月
