听力原文: In science the meaning of the word "explain" suffers with civilization's every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature is no more known to the modem scientists than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces "really" are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, "is not a thing, like St. Paul's Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell." Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that's where they belong, and smoke goes up because that's where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modem science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment that now forms the basis of scientific investigation.

A.To explain why things happen.
B.To explain how things happen.
C.To describe self-evident principles.
D.To support Aristotelian science.

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puz-zles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn&39; t love you back? Or if they do say it but youdon&39;t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and riskyand can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell.But is the person who says it firstreally in a position of weakness? Doesn&39;t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the otherhalf has shown their hand fh&39;st?
"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sid-ney Crown."But love is seldom equal." All relationships go through power straggles but, he says,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in."That feeling of &39;I&39; ve always loved youmore&39; may be subverted(颠覆,破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often e-merges in squabbling(大声争吵)." In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always themost powerful."The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough totalk about their feelings," says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins.Psychosexual therapist PaulaHall agrees."The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative.In fact, theperson who says &39;I love you&39; first may also be the one who says &39;I&39;m bored with you&39; first." Hallbelieves that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it.
"Is it said when they&39; re drunk? Is it said before their parmer flies off on holiday, and what it reallymeans is &39; Please don&39; t be unfaithful to me&39; ? By saying &39; I love you&39;, they really saying&39; Do youlove me?&39; If so, wouldn&39; t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is every-thing."It&39; s not what is said, but how it&39; s said.What it comes down to is the sincerity of thespeaker."
What is the main idea of this passage? 查看材料
A.The importance of "I love you".
B.The meaning of "I love you"
C.The time of saying "I love you"
D.The place of saying "I love you".

Questions are based on the following passage.
In the 1960s and 1970s, classic social psychological studies were conducted thatprovided evidence that even normal, decent people can engage in acts of extreme crueltywhen instructed to do so by others. However, in an essay published November 20 in theopen access journal PLOS Biology, Professors Alex Haslam and Stephen Reicher revisitthese studies" conclusions and explain how awful acts involve not just obedience, butenthusiasm too——-challenging the long-held belief that human beings are "programmed"for conformity.
This belief can be traced back to two landmark empirical research (实证研究 )programs conducted by Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo in the 1960s and early1970s. Milgram"s "Obedience to Authority" research is widely believed to show thatpeople blindly conform. to the instructions of an authority figure, and Zimbardo"sStanfordPrison Experiment (SPE) is commonly understood to show that people will take onabusive roles uncritically.
However, Professor Haslam, from the University of Queensland, argues that tyrannydoes not result from blind conformity to rules and roles. Rather, it is a creative act offollowership, resulting from identifying with authorities who represent vicious (恶意的 )acts as virtuous (善良的 ) .
"Decent people participate in horrific acts not because they become passive,mindless functionaries (公职人员 ) who do not know what they are doing, but ratherbecause they come to believe——typically under the influence of those in authority——thatwhat they are doing is right," Professor Haslam explained.
Professor Reicher, of the University of St Andrews, added that it is not that theywere blind to the evil acts they were committing, but rather that they knew what they weredoing, and believed it to be right.
These conclusions were partly informed by Professors Haslam and Reicher"s ownprison experiment, conducted in 2002 in collaboration with the BBC. The study generatedthree findings. First, participants did not conform. automatically to their assigned role;second, they only acted in terms of group membership to the extent that they identifiedwith the group; and finally, group identity did not mean that people simply accepted theirassigned position——it also empowered them to resist it.
Although Zimbardo and Milgram"s findings remain highly influential, ProfessorHaslam argues that their conclusions do not hold up well under close empirical scrutiny.
Professor Reicher concludes that tyranny does not flourish because offendersare helpless and ignorant; it flourishes because they are convinced that they are doingsomething worthy.
What does the author mean by saying "human beings are ‘programmed‘for conformity" (Line 6, Para. I)? 查看材料
A.Human beings are designed to defy the instructions of others.
B.Human beings are forced to listen to the advice of others.
C.Human beings are ordered to take advice of others.
D.Human beings are made to be obedient to others.

Social sciences began to take shape in the 19th century, but came into their own at the beginning of the 20th century, when a number of well-established disciplines, including economics, sociology, political science, history and anthropology really made their mark. Geography and psychology could be added to that list. However, only sociology, political science and economics have succeeded in consolidating their position in the social sciences mainstream.The others were virtually all marginalised. Moreover, powerful institutional barriers now separate the various disciplines.
Hardly the right atmosphere in which to grow and deal with the harsh criticism which the social sciences have come in for from many quarters, including governments and international commissions. Radical measures are now being suggested to turn things round, from how to award university chairs, to setting syllabi and raising funds.
The need for decompartmentalising and striking a new order in the relationship between the disciplines concerns all of the social sciences, though perhaps economics most of all. Only it has acquired a dominant position in management and public affairs. Some would say it has fallen under the sway of “unitary thinking”, with little room for debate, for example, on the question of debt reduction or monetary tightness. Moreover, many people do not believe that economic science forms part of social sciences at all. This is a somewhat problematic position to uphold, particularly as economic developments are largely determined by political, social and cultural factors. Yet, economists often have difficulty understanding or taking such factors into account. This has left economics exposed to attack, for example, over its prescriptions for development and its analysis of events, such as the causes of the Asian crisis. to many, economics relies too heavily on hypothetical and sometimes unrealistic assumptions. St
Can social sciences bounce back and assert themselves in the 21 century? We will probably not be able to tell for a few decades, since the ways in which societies analyse themselves develop very slowly. After all, the social sciences are rarely given to sudden discoveries and headline breakthroughs like some other sciences. What is more, social sciences may continue to face the stout resistance of established institutions defending their own territory and opposing innovation and change.could it be that society, which by definition seeks stability, has an in-built resistance towards indulging in any form of self-analysis? Few people have an appetite for hard truths. But perhaps in the information age and in the dematerialised economy of the knowledge world, all that could change. Perhaps society will discover a pressing need to know itself much better, if only to survive. Social sciences will then have a different status.

A.their research methods and their results.

In England, Christmas Day and Good Friday have been holidays for religious reasons since the establishment of Christianity in the country. Christmas is celebrated on December 25, not Christmas Eve as in several other European countries. The other public holidays (or "Bank Holidays") are Easter Monday, May Day (May 1st), the Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), December 26th (Boxing Day), and New Year's Day. The term "Bank Holiday" goes back to the Bank Holidays Act of 1871, which owes its name to the fact that banks are closed on the days specified.
Boxing Day takes its name from the old custom of giving employees or tradesmen (such as milkman) an annual present or "Christmas box" on that day
Easter Monday is generally regarded as an unofficial consecration (祭祀) of Spring. It used to be the day on which the ladies would parade in the parks, wearing new dresses and hats. Although this custom is dying out, the tradition still provides the ladies with a pretext for buying spring clothes.
The August Bank Holiday is probably the most popular one of the year, partly because it comes at a time when children are not at school In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) is also a Bank Holiday. St Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. It is curious that St. George's Day (April 23rd) not a public holiday in England though St. George is the Patron Saint of England. However, the flag of St George (a red cross on a white background) or the Union Jack is flown on that day, particularly by churches of the Church of England.
31. Public holidays have been called Bank Holidays in England since _____.
A. last century
B. ancient times

Furthermore, the country's recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey's inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic program that will, according to the IMF's managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation towards European levels, and enhance the economy's resilience (弹性)".
Resilience has not historically been the country's economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by just under 5% in 1999. Indeed, throughout the 1990s growth oscillated like an electrocardiogram recording a violent heart attack. This irregularity has been one of the main reasons (along with red tape and corruption) why the country has failed dismally to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. Its stock of such investment (as a percentage of GDP) is lower now than it was in the 1980s, and annual inflows have scarcely ever reached $1 billion (whereas Ireland attracted over $25 billion in 2003, as did Brazil in every year from 1998 to 2000).
One deterrent to foreign investors is due to disappear on January 1 st 2005. On that day, Turkey will take away the right of virtually every one of its citizens to call themselves a millionaire. Six naughts will be removed from the face value of the lira; one unit of the local currency will henceforth be worth what lm is now--i.e., about C0.53 ($0.70).
Goods will have to be priced in both the new and old lira for the whole of the year, but foreign bankers and investors can begin to look forward to a time in Turkey when they will no longer have to juggle mentally with indeterminate strings of zeros.
The mood of the workers was pessimistic in that______.
A.their plant would go to bankruptcy
B.they would be unemployed temporarily
C.new models and investment would bring about jobs cut
D.they are confronting the threat of losing jobs

About Turkey
Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey"s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU"s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic—— in particular, the country"s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far offthat of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1 st 2007.
Furthermore, the country"s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston,the secretary-general of the OECD,"stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey"s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF"s managing director, Rodrigo Rato,"help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy"s resilience".
