Section 5 (20%) Read the following passages and then answer the questions that follow: Passage A Yet the difference in tone and language must strike us, so soon as it is philosophy that speaks: that change should remind us that even if the function of religion and that of reason coinc

30、ide, this function is performed in the two cases by very different organs. Religious are many, reason one. Religious consists of conscious ideas, hopes, enthusiasms, and objects of worship; it operates by grace and flourishes by prayer. Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential ord

31、er, on which indeed we may come to reflect but which exists in us ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind. We conform or do not conform to it; it does not urge or chide us, nor call for any emotions on our part other than those naturally aroused by the various objects which it unfolds

32、in their true nature and proportion. Religion brings some order into life by weighting it with new materials. Reason adds to the natural materials only the perfect order which experience may more or less embody. Religion is a part of experience itself, a mass of sentiments and ideas. The one is an i

33、nviolate principle, the other a changing and struggling force. And yet this struggling and changing force of religion seems to direct man toward something eternal. It seems to make for an ultimate harmony within the soul and for an ultimate harmony between the soul and all that the soul depends upon

34、. Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the goal or caring for the ultimate justification of the instinctive aims. Religion als

35、o has an instinctive and blind side and bubbles up in all manner of chance practices and intuitions; soon, however, if feels its way toward the heart of things, and from whatever quarter it may come, veers in the direction of the ultimate. Nevertheless, we must confess that religious pursuit of the

36、Life of Reason has been singularly satisfaction with its results, thanks to a fond partiality in reading the past and generous draughts of hope for the future; but any one regarding the various religions at once and comparing their achievements with what reason requires, must feel how terrible is th

37、e disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind. Their chief anxiety has been to offer imaginary really cured by well-directed effort. The Greek oracles, for instance, pretend to heal our natural ignorance, which has its appropriate though difficult cure, while the Christian, visio

38、n of heaven pretended to be an antidote to our natural death the inevitable correlate of birth and of a changing and conditioned existence. By methods of this sort little can be done for the real betterment of life. To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a shortsig

39、hted way of pursuing happiness. Nature is soon avenged. An unhealthy exaltation and a one-sided morality have to be followed by regrettable reactions. When these come, the real rewards of life may seem vain to a relaxed vitality, and the very name of virtue may irritate young spirits untrained in an

40、y natural excellence. Thus religion too often debauches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill. What is the secret of this ineptitude? Why does religion, so near to rationality in its purpose, fall so short of it in its texture and in its results? The answer is

41、 easy: religion pursues rationality through the imagination. When it explains events or assigns causes, it is an imaginative substitute for science. When it gives precepts, insinuates ideals, or remoulds aspiration, it is an imaginative substitute for wisdom I mean for the deliberate and impartial p

42、ursuit of all good. The condition and the aims of life are both represented in religion poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses. Hence the depth and importance of religion becomes intelligible no less than its contracti

43、ons and practical disasters. Its object is the same as that of reason, but its method is to proceed by intuition and by unchecked poetical conceits. 81.As used in the passage, the author would define wisdom as: A.the pursuit of rationality through imagination B.an emotional search for the truth C. a

44、 purposeful and unbiased quest for that which is best D. a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness. 82.Which of the following statements is not true, according to the author? A.Religion seeks the truth through imagination; reason, in its search, utilizes the emotions B.Religion has proved an ineffec

45、tive tool in solving man?s problems C.Science seeks a piecemeal solution to man?s questions D.The functions of philosophy and reason are the same. 83.According to the author, science differs form religion in that: A.it is unaware of ultimate goals B.it is unimaginative C.its findings are exact and f

46、inal D.it resembles society and art 84.The author of this passage states that religion differs from rationality in that: A.it relies on intuition rather than reasoning B.it is not concerned with ultimate justification of its instinctive aim C.it has not disappointed mankind D.it has inspired mankind

47、 85.according to the author, the pursuit of religion has proved to be: A. a vital necessity in answering the problems of mankind. B.imaginative C. a provider of hope for the future D.ineffectual Passage B I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the b

48、est, is soon wearisome and dissipating, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in our chambers, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellow. The farmer, wh

49、o can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must recreate with others at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and chopping his wood as the farmer was in his. Society is commonly t

50、oo cheap: We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that musty old cheese that we are; we live thick and are in each other?s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for o

51、ne another. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable; certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications between men. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile,

52、as where I live, for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him. 86. A person can be more lonely among men than by himself at home language A.loneliness is a state of mind B.loneliness is not the same as being alone C.solitude is not measured in miles D.all of the above 87.Frequ

53、ent meetings prevent us from A.refreshing ourselves B.appreciating the values of solitude C.acquiring new values for each other D.feeling lonely between meetings 88.By living “thick,” the author thinks we will A.find new values in ourselves B.increase the value of our friendships C.lose respect for

54、one another D.acquire respect for society 89.The author says that etiquette and politeness are A.rules agreed on to facilitate frequent meetings B.necessary rules for the conduct of any society C.false standards of value fostered by society D.rules that make frequent meetings tolerable 90.The author

55、 seems to think that less frequent meetings would A.limit the value of friendship B.detract from the value of society C.make us more aware of the value of men D.eliminate the need for etiquette and politeness Passage C Winging it in foreign markets Winging it in foreign markets (1) What do hamburger

56、s, hot dogs, soft cheeses, portion-packed yogurt, and Scotch whisky have in common besides that they?re all edible or drinkable? Th ey all sell like mad in global markers, and one strategy is responsible for their success. As marketers, we have threeand only three-available strategies for taking a p

57、roduct across national boundaries. The method behind these successful products is ore of these three: (2) Phased internationalization appeals enormously to marketing people. It is what we all leaned when we became marketers. You go to a foreign country with knowledge of your manufacturing capabiliti

58、es but with no presuppositions about products. Next, you buy research to find out exactly what people there want within a product area you can cater to. Finally, you come home and get your development people to put together a product with which you can compete in that foreign market. (3) Global mark

59、eting is the trendiest and seemingly most promising approach. From a marketing point of view, it is a highly responsible strategy. Ignoring frontiers, you go out into a part of the world and try to discover newly emerging needs you might respond to with your manufacturing capabilities. You are parti

60、cularly alert to consumer typology and to the behavior patterns into which your product offering will have to fit. You do a conscientious market segmentation job. (4) The shot-in-the-dark method is the seemingly crude, even sloppy, process of picking a product that is already successful in the home
