【正文】 ss inactivity”. Thus a netmaking spider which digs a burrow and rims it with a bastion(堡壘)of gravel and bits of wood, when removed from a half finished home, will not begin again, though it will continue another burrow, even one made with a pencil. Advance in the scale of evolution along such lines as these could only be made by the emergence of creatures with more and more plicated instincts. Such beings we know in the ants and spiders. But another line of advance was destined to open out a much more farreaching possibility of which we do not see the end perhaps even in man. Habits, instead of being born readymade(when they are called instincts and not habits at all )were left more and more to the formative influence of the environment, of which the most important factor was the parent who now cared for the young animal during a period of infancy in which vaguer instincts than those of the insects were molded to suit surroundings which might be considerably changed without harm. This means, one might at first imagine, that gradually heredity bees less and environment more important. But this is hardly the truth and certainly not the whole truth. For although fixed automatic responses like those of the insectlike creatures are no longer inherited, although selection for purification of that sort is no longer going on, yet selection for educability is very definitely still of importance. The ability to acquire habits can be conceivably inherited just as much as can definite re responses to narrow situations. Besides, since a mechanismis now, for the first time, created by which the individual (in contradiction to the species) can be fitted to the environment, the latter bees, in another sense, less not more important. And finally, less not the higher animals who possess the power of changing their environment by engineering feats and the like, a power possessed to some extent even by the beaver (海貍),and preeminently(卓越地)by man. Environment and heredity are in no case exclusive but5 alwayssupplementary factors. 55. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The Evolution of Insects B.

Which of the following is true about habits according to the passage? A. They are natural endowments to living creatures B. They are more important than instincts to all animals C. They are subject to the formative influence of the environment. D. They are destined to open out a much more farreaching possibility in the evolution of human beings. Questions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage: One of the saddest things about the period in which we live is the growing estrangement(疏遠(yuǎn))between America and Europe. This may be a surprising discovery to those who are over impressed by the speed with which turbojets can hop from New York to Paris. But to anyone who is aware of what America once meant to English libertarian poets and philosophers, to the young Ibises bitterly excoriating(痛斥)European royalty for the murder of Lincoln, to Italian novelists and poets translating the nineteenth century American classics as a demonstration against Fascism, there is something particularly disquieting in the way that the European Left, historically “proAmerican” because it identified America with expansive democracy, now punishes America with Europe’s lack of hope in the future. Although America has obviously not fulfilled the visionary hope entertained for it in the romantic heyday, Americans have, until recently, thought of themselves as an idea, a “ proposition”(in Lincoln’s word) set up for the enlightenment and the improvement of mankind. Officially, we live by our original principles。t start working for the presentation until the day before, you will feel A. uneasy. B. uncertain. C. frustrated. D. depressed. 20.
