3."Heaven is where the police are English,the cooks are French,the mechanics are German,the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.Hell (地狱) is where the police are German,the cooks are English,the mechanics are French,the lovers are Swiss,and everything is organized by the Italians."Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化),but such stereotypes are often said to"exist for a reason".Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them?Not likely,an international research team now says.
"National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others,and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,"said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging."These are in fact unfounded stereotypes.They don't come from looking around you,"McCrae said.
If national stereotypes aren't rooted in real experiences,then where do they come from?One possibility is that they reflect national values,which may become known from historical events.For example,many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.
Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect.Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.
We may be"hard-wired",to some degree,to keep incorrect stereotypes,since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes.Generally,according to Robins,when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes,we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.

分析 本文讲述的是各个国家由于历史给他国留下固有印象,这种固有印象会让人们以为现在也是如此,但这是不可靠的.
解答 32.A.细节理解题.根据第一段Heaven is where the police are English,the cooks are French,the mechanics are German,the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss提到一个有英国警察、法国厨子、德国机械师、意大利情人,一切都由瑞士人管理的地方就是天堂.一个有德国警察、英国厨子、法国机械师、瑞士情人,一切都由意大利人管理的地方就是地狱,故推测意大利人很浪漫但没有组织性,故选A项.
33.A.推理判断题.根据第二段Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化),but such stereotypes are often said to"exist for a reason可知,玩笑中的对于一个国家模式化的思想反应是客观事实,但这些存在都是有原因的,现在也是这样的吗,不一定,故选A项.
34.C.细节理解题.根据第三段提到National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others,and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing.可知,这些模式化的观念在人们如何看待这个国家的问题上起着重要的作用,但要意识到这些是不可靠的,故选C项.
35.D.词义猜测题.根据最后一段提到We may be"hard-wired",to some degree,to keep incorrect stereotypes,since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes.可知,在某种程度上,保持错误的模式化思想可能就是无法改变的,因为我们很少注意到和记住与我们模式化思想的不同,也就是我们是"固执的,确定的",故与C项意思相同,选D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
