【正文】 , said Peng. This type of reasoning allows people to proceed from thesis to antithesis, to synthesis. 5） ［ A］ In Chinese folk wisdom, by parison, people do not attempt to work through the contradictions, following a cultural tradition which holds that reality is “multi layered, unpredictable and contradictory,” and is in a constant state of change, Peng said. ［ B］ “It can h ardly be right to move to the middle when you have just read evidence for a less plausible view. Yet that is what the Chinese subjects did,”said Peng. ［ C］ The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth,and Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life. ［ D］ Compared to this angry, blaming merican stance, the Chinese were paragons of promise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle. ［ E］ The best way is to use both one style for science and another for relationships. Maybe that will be the real benefit of multicultralism. ［ F］ “They should stop blaming each other, poor people and immigrants, and talk about what we can do as a society to bee more tolerant,” said Peng. ［ G］ Now a University of California, Berkeley, Psychologist has discovered deeper polatities between Chinese and American cultures polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth. 答案及詳解 。文章開頭即指明中、西文化宛如地球的兩個(gè)端點(diǎn)，從第二段第二句以及第六段的 “In tests of scientific ? short” 看，此處作者想更進(jìn)一步表明中、西在“reason and discover truth” 上的差異。 。前文是兩者的不同，這里指出應(yīng)互相學(xué)習(xí)。 干擾項(xiàng)為 E，但我們注意到， E 過于籠統(tǒng)，而 C 句中的 “scientific truth” 與“social and personal life” 與下面展開的段落直 接相關(guān)，所以選 C。 。上一段舉例表明美國(guó)人在人際關(guān)系中，互相指責(zé)，此段作為對(duì)比，顯示了中國(guó)人的中庸之道，這一段是圍繞第三段中 “They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans.” 展開的。 。在肯定中國(guó)人在處理人際關(guān)系中的優(yōu)勢(shì)后，作者隨即指出其在 scientific thinking 上折中主義的劣勢(shì)，從下文的 “hamper” 可以看出，作者對(duì)在科學(xué)問題上也采用折中主義這種方法是不贊成的，因此我們選 B。 。對(duì) 比中西方辨證思維模式的不同。從上文中的西方的推理是由正題推出反題，進(jìn)而推出合理看，此處應(yīng)為論述中國(guó)人認(rèn)為現(xiàn)實(shí)是 “multi layered, contradictions” 的思維方式。 中心思想 本文論述了中美文明在社會(huì)關(guān)系和科學(xué)問題上的差異，美國(guó)人在人際關(guān)系中比較好斗，而中國(guó)人傾向?qū)で笳壑械慕鉀Q方案，在科學(xué)問題中，中國(guó)人也經(jīng)常采用中間路線，美國(guó)人的直線前進(jìn)的方法，往往可以辨明正確和錯(cuò)誤的答案，作者主張生活中采用中國(guó)方式，科學(xué)上采用美國(guó)方式。 練習(xí)六 Directions:In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 15, choose the most suitable one from the list A— G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Seventy five years ago all British women were finally given what all British men had been granted 10 years earlier — the right to vote. First off the blocks to mark the occasion has been,oddly, the Sun (that same an, ironically, mostly‘celebrates’women’s emancipation with a naked inter est in their bulging breasts and shapely bums). That no one else has yet seemed to notice reflects the fact that the winning side in the equality war doesn’t want to waste precious time crowing. 1 ） Like the military. A report last week slammed the Army for sexism, plaining that women are called‘girls’ — quite different, the authors said, from referring to the troops as‘our boys’. 2 ） ‘Girls’, by contrast, is derogatory and demeaning. This was only to be expected, the authors pointed out, from an institution that enjoys ‘partial’exemption from equal opportunities legislation— and thus can exclude its ‘girls’ from some direct bat positions. How chauvinist can you get? But hold on: do women really want to turn Dad’s Army into Mum’s Army, a posse of latter day Amazons braving the front line, cheek by jowl with their male counterparts? We don’t want to stand beside the boys and fire rifles into the whites of Iraqi eyes. Nor are we gasping for a chance to be blasted to smithereens by a cluster bomb. I may not be crazy about being called ‘girl’ 3） Yet this kind of job equalising — if Jack can do it, Jill sure as hell can do it better— has long been cherished by social planners, feminist or not. For decades, men only enclaves gave women their battle cry: let me in there! The exclusion zone in those days ranged from smart clubs, manual work, the Church of England and the armed forces. Now it has shrunk to a few motheaten armchairs in clubland。 the golfers’ paradise — the Royal and Ancient Club of St Andrews。 the Roman Catholic priesthood。 and front line bat. The head of the Stock Exchange is a woman, female plumbers are growing in numbers (including that Oxford graduate, Nicola Gillison, who made headlines recently because she ditched her consultancy job for a mole wrench), and one in 12 of the Army is female. As for women lorry drivers, that should be no surprise. Women drivers have such a sterling record that insurance panies now offer cheaper premiums in return for the promise that no man will e anywhere near the four wheels of their car. 4） As the foreigner chewed his dumplings at some dire Intourist restaurant in the Soviet Union, his (or her) surprised gaze might alight upon the workers outside in their drab overalls. Who were those stocky muscular figures clambering up the scaffolding with buckets of primrose yellow paint to freshen up the crumbling facades of the surrounding buildings? Women. Who was heaving the garbage containers into the dilapidated rubbish truck? Women. Who was shovelling up the piles of dirt and grit left in the melted snow by the side of the road? Women. And what of the Israeli army, which believes women sabras as well as men should face enemy fire? That idea has proved a disaster — with men behaving suicidally to protect the women, casualties mounting, and the government now considering legislation to keep women away from the front. It’s been a dire tale in the American military too, with physical strength tests rigged to acmodate women soldiers who with the best will in the world cannot throw a
