(2×10=20 points) Passage One Human behavior is regulated by many factors, including moral standards, the sense of shame, of conscience, of duty, and so on. The basic manifestations of the ethical life are the sense of social and personal responsibility and the awareness of guilt that this implies. Responsibility is not only a moral category, but also a psychological, legal and socio-political one. Great controversy has raged around this problem for centuries. The idealists believe the sources of responsibility to be in the immanent (固有的，内在的) principles of the human personality, even in the depths of its psychophysiology. The existentialists absolutise the individual’s responsibility to society, believing that every person is responsible for everything that happens in the world. Every separate person is responsible for everything because this “everything” is consciously created by him. But this is subjective idealism. Responsibility may appear in two forms: retrospective and actual, i.e. responsibility for previously performed actions and for actions that are being performed at the given moment. Responsibility is a state of consciousness, a feeling of duty towards society and oneself, an awareness of the purpose of the actions performed, their consequences for a certain social group, class, party, collective and oneself. Responsibility is society’s necessary means of controlling the behaviour of the individual through his consciousness. An important form of responsibility is responsibility for the future, both near and distant, which is built on the sense of responsibility for the present and the past. The character of responsibility and its forms have changed in the course of history. The tribal system knew no personal responsibility. There was responsibility only to the community, which imposed a certain course of action on its members and controlled these actions. The slave society revealed the beginnings of a tendency towards individuality. While the commune fettered the actions of the individual, the slave society allowed him to act at his own risk, with a certain degree of independence. During the slave-owning period the individual was responsible not to the community, nor yet to himself, but to the polity and to the gods. With the rise of the state the concept of individual responsibility to the state, the monarch and to God began to take shape. As the idea of
state developed and with its culture, there arose the idea of personal responsibility, which was to be further developed in the feudal society Responsibility expresses societys specific demand on the individual in the form of duty. There are certain social standards, but there is also freedom of choice, including the possibility of violating these standards. So in all societies a certain responsibility is laid down for such violations. Where there is no choice, there is no responsibility 1. In the second paragraph, the underlined word"raged"can be replaced with the following words B)continued C)discussed D)maintained 2. Which of the following statements is not true? A)Idealists believe that responsibility comes from the inner personality of each person B) Existentialists believe that we should be responsible for everything we de C) Subjective idealism absolutist the individual's responsibility to our immanent personality. D) According to the author, responsibility is social requirement towards the individuals 3. What's the synonym of the underlined word"consequences"in the third paragraph? A)Importance B)Resul C) Findings D)Relevance 4. Which of the following shows the initial combination of individuality and responsibilt A)The tribal society B)The slave society C)The feudal society 5. In the sentence" So in all societies a certain responsibility is laid down for such violations", what does"a certain responsibility"actually refer to? A)Choice. B) L: D)Standard Passage wo The use of iQ tests in the educational placement of mildly retarded children( who are sometimes called the"educable"mentally retarded, or EMR) has been the subject of considerable controversy in recent years. The controversy is not merely abstract or theoretical: it has been the focus of two lawsuits in federal courts. Plaintiffs have charged that iQ tests are biased against minority children, that they systematically underestimate their abilities, and that this bias leads to a disproportionately large representation of minority students in EMR classes The battle has been fought in federal courts in California and Illinois. Though the issues were virtually identical in the two cases, the outcomes were not. In 1979, the California public schools were enjoined from using standardized iQ tests in the placement of minority school children in EMr classes. The court became convinced, after hearing extensive expert testimony from both sides, that the rights of minority children under the Constitution and various federal antidiscrimination statutes were violated by the use of the tests.

The Illinois judge based his decision that the tests were not biased primarily on his personal examination of the test items, rather than on the expert

Passage Two The use of IQ tests in the educational placement of mildly retarded children (who are sometimes called the “educable” mentally retarded, or EMR) has been the subject of considerable controversy in recent years. The controversy is not merely abstract or theoretical: it has been the focus of two lawsuits in federal courts. Plaintiffs have charged that IQ tests are biased against minority children, that they systematically underestimate their abilities, and that this bias leads to a disproportionately large representation of minority students in EMR classes.
