In order to understand human beings, it is necessary to think of them as part of the whole living world. Our vital humanity depends not only on the complex biological structure which has been developed through the ages from very simple beginnings, but also upon the great social inventions which have been made by human beings, continued by human beings, and in turn give human beings their reputation as builders, thinkers, statesmen, artists and prophets(预言家).
No doubt each of these great inventions—language, the family, the use of tools, government, science, art, and philosophy—has the quality of so combining the potentialities of every human nature, and each can be learned and continued by any group of human beings, regardless of race and the type of civilization within which their progenitors lived; therefore, a newborn baby from the most primitive tribe in New Guinea is as basically capable of graduation from Harvard, or writing a sonnet(十四行诗), or inventing a new form of radar as a baby born on Beacon Hill.
However, it is also believed that once a child has been brought up in New Guinea, Boston, Leningrad or Tibet, he symbolizes the culture within which he is raised, and differs from those who are raised elsewhere so deeply, and that only by understanding these differences can we reach an awareness which will give us a new control over our human destiny(命运).
So believably human nature is naturally neither good nor evil, but human beings are born with different combinations of inborn potentialities, and it will depend upon how they are brought up—to trust and love and experiment and create, or to fear and hate and obey—and what kind of human beings they can become. We have not even begun to develop human potentialities, and by continuing modest but continual study of human behavior, we can learn intentionally to create civilizations within which an increasing percentage of human beings will realize more of what they have it in them to be.
Without any doubt, human life is given meaning through the relationship which the human being’s conscious goals have to the civilization, period, and the country in which one lives.
At times, the task may be to fence a wilderness, to bridge a river, or to bring up sons to continue a young group. Today, it means that we should take upon the task of creating one world in such a way that we both keep the future safe and leave the future free.
63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. An understanding of human culture. B. A great invention of mankind.
C. Neither good nor evil. D. A new control of human destiny.
64. The underlined word “progenitors” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_______”.
A. designers B. organizers C. ancestors D. discovers
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Humanity depends on the social inventions as well as the biological structure.
B. Human inventions combine its potentialities with race and civilization.
C. Human nature is either good or evil at birth.
D. Human life has meaning because of the person’s conscious goals.
66. According to Paragraph 2, great human inventions include the following EXCEPT _______.
A. the quality of so combining the potentialities of every human nature
B. human race and civilization within which their progenitors lived
C. the ones that can be learned and continued by any group of human beings
D. language, the family, the use of tools, government, science, art and philosophy
查看习题详情和答案>>A couple of years ago,before a trip to China,Nicole Davis and her US women’s volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (显著、突出) of coach “Jenny” Lang Ping in her native country.
“I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,”said Davis.
Known as the “Iron Hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球),Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s.She was a key player on China’s 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.
When the US team arrived for the Olympics,Lang,48,who is from Beijing,had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.
Then came the greatest moment to Lang：While the US team was playing in a packed gym,at least 8,000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.
“That really says it all,” Davis said.“They look at her as an icon(偶像)．I’m sure it’s hard for them to see her coaching another country,but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”
The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday,when China lost a match to the US.
“It’s a pity that China lost the match,but I’m still glad that Lang Ping’s team won,since she is the pride of China’s volleyball,” said Liu Chengli,a spectator.“We also cheered for
Lang’s victory.”
Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet.“It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team.It’s the same.” Lang said.
Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players,said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.
“It’s such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,”she said.“The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous.The whole event has been unbelievable.”
What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Staying professional. B．Cheering for the Iron Hammer.
C．A match between China and the US. D．Lang Ping’s career as a coach.
Lang Ping avoided meeting the reporters and fans probably because she ________.
A．was afraid to be questioned about her strategy
B．didn’t want to be paid much attention to
C．disliked to be with her fans
D．didn’t want to disturb public order
What does the underlined word “unfurled” exactly mean?
A．destroyed completely B．tore into pieces
C．spread out to the wind D．rolled up
What does Lang Ping mean by saying “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team.”？
A．American Volleyball Team will beat any team.
B．Chinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams.
C．She just tried to stay professional.
D．The results of each match will be the same.
