Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)
(每小题：1 分)
Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Polygamy is a funny thing―funny ha ha, as well as peculiar. One thinks of the 19th-century Mormon leader, Brigham Young, with his 55 wives (in those days, they said, women married Young). Devout (虔敬的) Mormons hold that a message from God told Young to go ahead and start collecting wives. Skeptics (怀疑者), of course, say that there was something else to this. In any case, it proved to be an efficient means of enabling Mormons to outnumber skeptics. And in fairness, some of his wives were elderly women whom he married out of kindness and not because he was attracted to them.
I find it very curious that Western countries, despite how much they pride themselves for their liberalism (人文自由主义) about what willing adults do with one another, have been slow to permit willing adults to marry each other at a rate more than one at a time.
What business is it of the states how many people I marry? And by the way, if one can enter into a common law marriage by living with someone for seven years, can one enter into a common law polygamy by living with two? I'd love to see that test case.
But what would it really be like to have multiple spouses? Most men I've asked answer immediately with a knowing smile. And those are
the intelligent ones. Their minds immediately create an image something like a sexual (性的) version (看法) of a Hong Kong Sunday lunch, with many dishes to taste.
In truth, the idea scares me. I spend half my waking hours trying to deal with my childish consciousness to the civilized state known as marriage. It's only by total luck I can hold on to any of my natural state-of-nature qualities—watching violent movies, eating bad food, and acting poorly, the way that men can act poorly when free from the control of women. What if I were outnumbered?
Then there's the spectre (幻影，魔鬼) of a double settlement (解决) if the woman leaves. Modern marriage might be a raw deal for women, but it can be hell (地狱) on men when women leave. Little wonder that men, who write the laws, discourage polygamy. But then again, Mark Twain might have been right; maybe it was just the mother-in-law jokes.
1.What does the word "polygamy" most probably mean in the
first sentence?
A. Funny stories.
B. Interesting events.
C. Having more than one wife at the same time.
D. Organizing a social act.
2.According to the passage, which one of the following
statements is true?
A. In the 19th century, polygamy was considered a regular
practice.
B. Young's wives were all very beautiful and attractive.
C. Polygamy began in the 1800s.
D. Some people think that polygamy is a good idea.
3.The author thinks that the government ______________.
A. should stop polygamy and promote monogamy (一夫一妻
制)
B. should not stop polygamy while promoting monogamy
C. should establish laws against polygamy
D. should stop both monogamy and polygamy
4.Which one of the following statements is true according to the
passage?
A. Most men welcome the idea of polygamy out of curiosity.
B. Most men like to have more than one wife for sexual
purposes.
C. Most women do not like the idea of polygamy.
D. The author thinks that polygamy is needed for the modern
world.
5.What does the phrase "a raw deal" mean in the last
paragraph?
A. A new experience.
B. An unfair treatment.
C. An activity which is not agreed on.
D. A heavy blow.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Culture shock might be called an expected disease of people who have suddenly moved to some foreign countries. Like most diseases, it has its own symptoms and cure.
Culture shock is started by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and sights of social activities. Those signs or cues (提示) include the thousand and one ways in which we find our place in the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, expressions with the face, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we
accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness.
Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a number of supports have been knocked out from under you followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People respond to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort. "The ways of the host country are bad because they make me feel bad." When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another stage of culture shock is regression. The home country suddenly assumes a great importance. To the foreigner everything becomes much greater than it really is. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.
6.According to the passage, culture shock is
_________________.
A. an expected disease of foreign people
B. may lead to very serious symptoms
C. actually not a disease
D. something that can't be changed
7.According to the passage, culture shock results from
________________.
A. the sudden loss of our own signs and sights of social
activities
B. the sudden change of our daily habits
C. the sudden change of the social situation and customs
D. the discomfort that we feel when faced with a foreigner
8.Which one of the following may NOT be the symptoms of
culture shock?
A. You don't know how to express your thanks.
B. You don't know how to greet other people.
C. You suddenly forget what a word means.
D. You don't understand why a foreigner acts in a certain way.
9.How would a person who stays abroad most probably act
when he is frustrated by the culture shock according to the
passage?
A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange
environment at first.
B. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.
C. He is ready to accept the change and change himself to the
new environment.
D. Although he takes the cultural differences to be regular, he
still doesn't know what to do with them.
10.This passage is most likely taken from ______________.
A. a news report
B. a grammar book
C. a book on medicine and psychology
D. an essay on human customs
