法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦1"In some countries, television and radio programs are carefully censored for offensive language and behavior. In other countries, there is little or no censorship."In your view. To what extent should government or any other group be able to censor television or radio programs? Explain, giving relevant reasons and/or examples to support your position. (技术进步对人类影响)The extent to which the broadcast media should be censored for offensive language and behavior involves a conflict between our right as individuals to freely express ourselves and the duty of government to protect its citizenry from potential harm. In my view, our societal interest in preventing the harm that exposure to obscenity produces takes precedence over the rights of individuals to broadcast this type of content.First of all, I believe that exposure to obscene and offensive language and behavior does indeed cause similar behavior on the part of those who are exposed to it. Although we may not have conclusive scientific evidence of a cause-effect relationship, ample anecdotal evidence establishes a significant correlation. Moreover, both common sense and our experiences with children inform us that people tend to mimic the language and behavior they are exposed to.Secondly, I believe that obscene and offensive behavior is indeed harmful to a society. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the individual, it has a debasing impact on vital human relationships; for the society, it promotes a tendency toward immoral and antisocial behavior. Both outcomes, in turn, tear apart the social fabric that holds a society together.Those who advocate unbridled individual expression might point out that the right of free speech is intrinsic to a democracy and necessary to its survival. Even so, this right is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. In my assessment, the interests server by restricting obscenity in broadcast media are, on balance, more crucial to the survival of a society. Advocates of free expression might also point out difficulties in defining "obscene" or "offensive" language or behavior. But in my view, however difficult it may be to agree on standards, the effort is worthwhile.In sum, it is in our best interest as a society for the government to censor broadcast media for obscene and offensive language and behavior Exposure to such media content tends to harm society and its citizenry in ways that are worth preventing, even in light of the resulting infringement of our right of free expression.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦2"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "To what extent do you agree or disagree-with this definition of success? Support your position by using reasons and examples from your reading, your own experience, or your observation of others. (少数和多数)Some people define success simply as the ability to choose how to spend one's life. Under this definition, people who have the freedom to do whatever they want at any time they choose would presumably be the most successful ones, while those who have no such freedom would be the biggest failures. Viewing the definition in this light reveals three serious problems with it.The chief problem with this definition of success is that by the definition nearly all people would be regarded as failures. The reason for this is simple. Most people have extremely limited choices in what they can do and when they can do it. In other words, unrestricted freedom of choice is a luxury only a few people-perhaps a handful of tyrannical dictators and ultra-wealthy individuals-can afford.Secondly, people who have a high degree of freedom in choosing their lifestyle often acquire it through means that would not earn them the accolade of being successful. For example, lottery winners or people who inherit a great deal of money may be able to spend their life in any way they choose, but few people would regard them as successful merely due to their financial fortune.A third reason why this definition of success is unacceptable is that it repudiates some of our basic intuitions about success. For most people, success is related to achievement. The more you achieve, the more successful you are: conversely, the less you achieve the less successful you are. Defining success in terms of freedom of choice ignores this intuition.In sum, the proposed definition of success is far too limited, and it belies our intuition about the concept. I think most people would agree with me that success is better defined in terms of the attainment of goals.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦3A few points to bear in mind:Drop a coin and choose whichever side the coin suggestsDont keep pondering over it. You dont have the time to ponder, and the result of pondering will be no better than a random choice.Use the three-part and five-paragraph formatFirst tell people what you want to say, then say it, and finally tell people what you have just said.Give each of the main paragraphs a topic sentenceThe topic sentence tells the reader pointedly what you think. Remember that a topic sentence embodies a debatable statement that calls for support, development or elaboration. It expresses some sort of judgment rather than states hard facts.Put each option through both of the tests法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦4The English department at a university must choose a text for its first-year composition course. Write an argument in favor of selection either of the following texts with these. Considerations in mind:The department has a strong commitment to teaching basic writing skills, such as grammar and essay organization The department wants to increase the students enthusiasm for and interest in writing.During the three years that the department has used The Standard Textbook of English, instructors in other departments have reported significant improvement in students writing skills. Nicknamed "The Best and the Dullest" the text contains classic essays from both ancient andmodern authors and is organized to illustrate the various forms of the essay- such as narration, exposition, and persuasion. The essay average more than 10 pages and almost all are written in a formal style. While students find some of the subjects foreign, they feel the materials covered are often useful in their other coursework.A new text, The Modern Writer, contains both an introductions describing the basics of grammar and a number of journalistic essays by contemporary authors. The pieces are typically short (only 2 to 3 pages) and explore topics of interest to most college students, such as popular music and career planning. The style of the essays tends to be informal, even colloquial. Each chapter contains several essays on a given topic and exercises designed to aid students in developing essays of their own. Although the introduction provides an adequate overview of basic grammar, the text does not discuss the essay form.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦5English writing textbookI would urge the English Department to change its English composition textbook from The Standard Textbook of English to The Modern Writer. By helping to make the students more enthusiastic about writing, the new textbook should ultimately boost the students writing skills in general.To give credit where credit is due, we must acknowledge that The Standard Textbook of English is not a bad book. This textbook has shown itself to be somewhat effective in helping to improve the students basic writing skills, and it presents a variety of essay forms, exposing the students to different types of essays they have to either write or understand late on. It would be a safe choice for the department to continue its use of this time-tested book.But the past glories of the old textbook cannot hide its problems, particularly its dullness. The essays in this textbook are obviously too long for first-year students to appreciate their beauty. While various essay forms are illustrated in this textbook, they are often illustrated with content that students find very hard to relate to. Students using The Standard Textbook of English may have improved their writing skills in the past three years, but if that is true, they must have had a hard time doing so, to the possible detriment of their performance in other areas. Such problems can only be solved with a new textbook like The Modern Writer.The Modern Writer is such that it should generate a lot more enthusiasm in students for learning English writing. The essays in this book are much shorter and therefore easier for university beginners to grasp. Moreover, these essays explore topics that are of interest to most college students such as popular music and career planning. Given the built-in appeal in this new textbook, just no student will have to be compelled to read and learn from it. With this book, the students can be expected to learn while they are having fun or at least thinking of issues that they care about. In all likelihood, the enthusiastic student will be a better student than the bored student.The Modern Writer should be able to reach students basic writing skills at least as well as, if not better than,The Standard Textbook of English. The new textbook contains not only a good description of the basics of grammar but also carefully designed exercises to aid students in developing their own essays. In contrast, the old textbook may load the students with too much grammar but give them little chance to actually use it. With their enthusiasm and opportunitiesto practice, students should be able to pick up writing skills fairly easily, even those skills that are not fully covered by the textbook. The interested students can, for example, do their own research on essay forms.Although The Standard Textbook of English is okay as a writing textbook, The Modern Writer should now be preferred. The new textbook can match the old one in strength bur does not have its problems. Besides, the new textbook contains qualities that are not only lacking in the old one but also fundamentally important to the learning students.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦6"If the primary duty and concern of a corporation is to make money, then conflict is inevitable when the corporation must also acknowledge a duly to serve society." From your perspective, how accurate is the above statement? Support your position with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.We take for granted that a primary objective and obligation of a corporation is to maximize profits. But does this mean a corporation cannot also fulfill its obligations to society? The speaker claims mat the two duties necessarily conflict. In my view, however, a corporation's duties to maximize shareholder wealth and to serve society will at times coincide and at times conflict; and when they do conflict, neither takes automatic precedence over the other.Beyond the obvious duty to maximize shareholder wealth, corporations indeed owe a duty to serve society, especially the immediate community, which permits corporation to operate in exchange for an implied promise that the corporations will do no harm and will bring some benefit to the community These duties can often be fulfilled together. For example, a successful corporation brings jobs and elated economic benefit to the community. And, by contributing to community activities and charities in other ways, the corporation gains a reputation for social responsibility that often helps it become even more successful.However, at times these duties do conflict. Consider, for instance, a company that unknowingly leaks into the ground a toxic substance that threatens to contaminate local groundwater. While the company may favor an inexpensive containment program, community leaders may want the company to go further by cleaning up and restoring their environment-even if the expense will force the company to leave and take jobs from the community. Whatever the company decides, it should not assume that protecting profits automatically outweighs social obligation. In many instances it does not, as highly-visible tobacco, automobile safety, and asbestos liability cases aptly illustrate. Such examples reveal a limit as to how far a corporation can ethically go in trading off the well-being of the community for the sake of its own profits,In sum, corporations have duties both to do well and to do good. Although conflict between these duties is not inevitable, it does occur. Determining which duty takes precedence in time of conflict requires careful consideration of all the ethical ramifications of each alternative.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦7"In this age of automation, many people complain that humans are becoming subservient to machines. But, in fact, machines are continually improving our lives. " Discuss the extent to whichyou agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. (技术进步对人类的影响) In this age of automation, many people complain that humans are becoming subservient to machines. In my point of view, in some respects humans serve machines, while in other respects machines serve us by enhancing our lives. While mechanical automation may have diminished our quality of life on balance, digital automation is doing more to improve our lives than to undermine our autonomy.Consider first mechanical automation, particularly assembly-line manufacturing. With automation came a loss of pride in and alienation from one's work. In this sense, automation both diminished our quality of life and rendered us slaves to machines in our inability to reverse "progress." Admittedly, mechanical automation spawned entire industries, creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, and supplying a plethora of innovative conveniences. Nevertheless, the sociological and environmental price of progress may have outweighed its benefits.Digital automation has brought its own brand of alienation. Computer automation, and especially the internet, breeds information overload and steals our time and attention away from family, community,and coworkers. In these respects, digital automation tends to diminish our quality of life and create its own legion of human slaves. On the other hand, by relegating repetitive tasks to computers, digits technology has spawned great advances in medicine and physics, helping us to better understand the world, to enhance our health, and to prolong our lives. Digital automation has also emancipated architects, artists, designers, and musicians, by opening up creative possibilities and by saving time. Perhaps most important, however, information technology makes possible universal access to information, thereby providing a democratizing influence on our culture.In sum, while mechanical automation may have created a society of slaves to modern conveniences and unfulfilling work, digital automation holds more promise for improving our lives without enslaving us to the technology.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦8"Clearly, government has a responsibility to support the arts. However, if that support is going to produce anything of value, government must place no restrictions on the art that is produced. "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above? Develop your position by giving specific reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. (国家和艺术的关系)The speaker argues that government must support the arts but at the same time impose no control over what art is produced. The implicit rationale for government intervention in the arts is that, without it, cultural decline and erosion of our social fabric will result. However, I find no empirical evidence to support this argument, which in any event is unconvincing in light of more persuasive arguments that government should play no part in either supporting or restricting the arts.First, subsidizing the arts is neither a proper nor necessary job for government. Although public health is generally viewed as critical to a society's very survival and therefore an appropriate concern of government, this concern should not extend tenuously to our cultural"health" or well-being. A lack of private funding might justify an exception: in my observation; however, philanthropy is alive and well today, especially among the new technology and media moguls.Second, government cannot possibly play an evenhanded role as arts patron. Inadequate resources call for restrictions; priorities, and choices, it is unconscionable to relegate normative decisions as to which art has "value" to a few legislators and jurists, who may be unenlightened in their notions about art. Also, legislators are all too likely to make choices in favor of the cultural agendas of those lobbyists with the most money and influence. Third, restricting artistic expression may in some cases encroach upon the constitutional right of free expression. In any case, governmental restriction may chill creativity, thereby defeating the very purpose of subsidizing the arts.In the final analysis, government cannot philosophically or economically justify its involvement in the arts, either by subsidy or sanction. Responsibility lies with individuals to determine what art has value and to support that art.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦9"Schools should be responsible only for teaching academic skills and not for leaching ethical and social values."Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.(理想和现实)Many people assert that schools should teach only academic skills, and not ethical or social values. I agree with them insofar as instruction on certain moral issues is best left to parents and churches. However, in my view it is in the best interests of a democratic society for schools to teach at least the values necessary to preserve freedom and a democratic way of life, and perhaps even additional values that enrich and nurture asociety and its members.We all have in interest in preserving our freedom and democratic way of life. At the very least, then, schools should provide instruction in the ethical and social values required for our democracy to survive-particularly the values of respect and tolerance. Respect for individual persons is a basic ethical value that requires us to acknowledge the fundamental equality of all people, a tenet of a democratic society. Tolerance of differences among individuals and their viewpoints is required to actualize many of our basic constitutional rights-including life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and freedom of speech and religion. While respect and tolerance are the minimal values that schools should teach, the list should ideally go further-to include caring, compassion, and willingness to help one another. A democracy might survive without these values, but it would not thrive. Respect and tolerance without compassion, it seems to me, breed a cool aloofness that undermines our humanity, and leaves those in the worst position to suffer more and suffer alone-an unhealthy state for any society.Admittedly, schools should avoid advocating particular viewpoints on controversial moral issues such as abortion or capital punishment. Instruction on issues with clear spiritual or religious implications is best left to parents and churches. Even so, schools should teach students how to approach these kinds of issues-by helping students to recognize their complexity and to clarify competing points of view. In doing so, schools can help breed citizens who approachcontroversy in the rational and responsible ways characteristic of a healthy democracy.In sum, schools should by all means refrain from indoctrinating our young people with particular viewpoint on controversial questions of morality. However, it is in a democratic society's interest for schools to inculcate the democratic values of respect and tolerance, and perhaps even additional values that humanize and enrich a society.法学院入学考试(LSAT)写作X文集锦10"A powerful business leader has far more opportunity to influence the course of a community or a nation than does any government official. " Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. (人民和政府的关系) Historical examples of both influential public officials and influential business leaders abound. However, the power of the modern-era business leader is quite different from that of the government official. On balance, the CEO seems to be better positioned to influence the course of community and of nations.Admittedly the opportunities for the legislator to regulate commerce or of the Jurist to dictate rules of equity are official and immediate. No private individual can hold that brand of influence. Yet official power is tempered by our check-and-balance system of government and, in the case of legislators, by the voting power of the electorate. Our business leaders are not so constrained, so their opportunities far exceed those of any public official. Moreover, powerful business leaders all too often seem to hold de facto(actual) legislative and judicial power by way of their direct influence over public officials, as the Clinton Administration's fund-raising scandal of 1997 illuminated all too well.The industrial and technological eras have bred such moguls of capitalism as Pullman, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Gates, who by the nature of their industries and their business savvy, not by force of law, have transformed our economy, the nature of work, and our very day-to-day existence. Of course, many modem-day public servants have made the most of their opportunities, for example, the crime-busting mayor Rudolph Giuliani and the new-dealing President Franklin Roosevelt. Yet their impact seems to pale next to those of our modem captains of industry.In sum, modem business leaders by virtue of the far-reaching impact of their industries and of their freedom from external constraints, have supplanted lawmakers as the great opportunists of the world and prime movers of society.法学院入学考试(LSAT)X文集锦11"Because businesses use high-quality advertising to sell low-quality products, schools should give students extensive training in how to make informed decisions before making purchases." Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.(GRE无类似题目)Some people claim that since high-quality ads are used to promote low-quality products, schools should teach students about consumerism. In my opinion, undue attention by schools toconsumerism is [unnecessary and inappropriate, especially for younger students.Regarding the first reason, empirical evidence does not suggest that high-quality advertising is used to remote low-quality products. To the contrary, companies that produce low-quality products seem to osort to low-budget, poor-quality ads, especially in broadcast media. Firms that take pride in the quality of their products are far more likely also to produce ads they can be proud of. Furthermore, high-quality products are more likely to succeed in the marketplace and thereby generate the revenues needed to ensure high production value in advertising.As for the second reason, it is not the job of our schools to breed legions of smart shoppers. Teachers should devote class time to examining the marketplace of ideas, not that of consumer goods and services, which students spend sufficient time examining outside the classroom. Admittedly, consumerism arid advertising may be appropriate topics for college-level marketing and psychology courses. However, undue focus on media and materialism may give younger students a distortedly narrow view of the world as little more than a flea market. Additionally, revealing the deceptive side of the advertising business may breed unhealthy cynicism among youngsters, who need positive messages; not negative ones during their formative years.In sum, the premise that high-quality ads tout low-quality products is specious at best. In any event, for schools to provide extensive training in consumerism would be to assign them an inappropriate role and to foster in impressionable minds a distortedly narrow and unhealthy view of the world.法学院入学考试(LSAT)X文集锦12"Because businesses use high-quality advertising to sell low-quality products, schools should give students extensive training in how to make informed decisions before making purchases."

"Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. (少数和多数之以身作那么)People are more likely to accept the leadership of those who have shown they can perform the same tasks they require of others. My reasons for this view involve the notions of respect and trust. It is difficult for people to fully respect a leader who cannot, or will not, do what he or she asks of others. President Clinton's difficulty in his role as Commander-in-Chief serves as a fitting and very public example. When Clinton assumed this leadership position, it was well-known that he had evaded military service during the Vietnam conflict. Military leaders and lower-level personnel alike made it clear that they did not respect his leadership as a result. Contrast the Clinton case with that of a business leader such as John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems, who by way of his training and experience as a computer engineer earned the respect of his employees.It is likewise difficult to trust leaders who do not have experience in the areas under their leadership. The Clinton example illustrates this point as well. Because President Clinton lacked military experience, people in the armed forces found it difficult to trust that his policies would reflect any understanding of their interests or needs. And when put to the lest. He undermined their trust to an even greater extent with his naive and largely bungled attempt to solve the problem of gays in the military. In stark contrast, President Dwight Eisenhower inspired nearly devotional trust as well as respect because of his role as a military hero in World War II. In conclusion, it will always be difficult for people to accept leaders who lack demonstrated ability in the areas under their leadership. Initially, such leaders will be regarded as outsiders, and treated Accordingly. Moreover, some may never achieve the insider status that inspires respect and trust from those they hope to lead.法学院入学考试(LSAT)X文集锦14"Businesses and other organizations have overemphasized the importance of working as a team. Clearly, in any human group, it is the strong individual, the person with the most commitment and energy, who gets things done. "Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. (个体和整体)The relationship between teamwork and individual strength, energy, and commitment is complex; whether they operate in a complementary or antagonistic manner depends on: (1) the goals toward which the traits are directed, (2) the degree of emphasis on teamwork, and (3) the。

美国法学院入学考试LSAT阅读真题9SECTION IITime 35 minutes 27 QuestionsDirections: Each passage in this section is followed by a group of questions to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. For some of the questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer, that is, the response that most accurately and completely answers the question, and blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.The extent of a nation’s power over its coastal ecosystems and the natural resources in its coastal waters has been defined by two international law doctrines: freedom of the seas and adjacent state sovereignty. Until the mid-twentieth century, most nations favored application of broad open-seas freedoms and limited sovereign rights over coastal waters. A nation had the right to include within its territorial dominion only a very narrow band of coastal waters (generally extending three miles from the shoreline), within which it had the authority but not the responsibility, to regulate all activities. But, because this area of territorial dominion was so limited, most nations did not establish rules for management or protection of their territorial waters.Regardless of whether or not nations enforced regulations in their territorial waters, large ocean areas remained free of controls or restrictions. The citizens of all nations had the right to use these unrestricted ocean areas for any innocent purpose, including navigation and fishing. Except for controls over its own citizens, no nation had the responsibility, let alone the unilateralauthority, to control such activities in international waters. And, since there were few standards of conduct that applied on the “open seas”, there were few jurisdictional conflicts between nations.The lack of standards is traceable to popular perceptions held before the middle of this century. By and large, marine pollution was not perceived as a significant problem, in part because the adverse effect of coastal activities on ocean ecosystems was not widely recognized, and pollution caused by human activities was generally believed to be limited to that caused by navigation.Moreover, the freedom to fish, or overfish, was an essential element of the traditional legal doctrine of freedom of the seas that no maritime country wished to see limited. And finally, the technology that later allowed exploitation of other ocean resources, such as oil, did not yet exist.To date, controlling pollution and regulating ocean resources have still not been comprehensively addressed by law, but international law—established through the customs and practices of nations—does not preclude such efforts.And two recent developments may actually lead to future international rules providing for ecosystem management. First, the establishment of extensive fishery zones extending territorial authority as far as 200 miles out from a country’s coast, has provided the opportunity for nations individually to manage larger ecosystems. This opportunity, combined with national self-interest in maintaining fish populations, could lead nations to reevaluate policies formanagement of their fisheries and to address the problem of pollution in territorial waters. Second, the internationalcommunity is beginning to understand the importance of preserving the resources and ecology of international waters and to show signs of accepting responsibility for doing so.As an international consensus regarding the need for comprehensive management of ocean resources develops, it will become more likely that international standards and policies for broader regulation of human activities that affect ocean ecosystems will be adopted and implemented.1. According to the passage, until the mid-twentieth century there were few jurisdictional disputes over international waters because.(A) the nearest coastal nation regulated activities(B) few controls or restrictions applied to ocean areas(C) the ocean areas were used for only innocent purposes(D) the freedom of the seas doctrine settled all claims concerning navigation and fishing(E) broad authority over international waters was shared equally among all nations2. According to the international law doctrines applicable before themid-twentieth century, if commercial activity within a particular nation’s territorial waters threatened all marine life in those waters, the nation would have been(A) formally censured by an international organization for not properly regulating marine activities(B) called upon by other nations to establish rules to protect its territorial waters(C) able but not required to place legal limits on such commercial activities(D) allowed to resolve the problem at it own discretionproviding it could contain the threat to its own territorial waters(E) permitted to hold the commercial offenders liable only if they were citizens of that particular nation3. The author suggests that, before the mid-twentieth cen tury, most nations’ actions with respect to territorial and international waters indicated that(A) managing ecosystems in either territorial or international waters was given low priority(B) unlimited resources in international waters resulted in little interest in territorial waters(C) nations considered it their responsibility to protect territorial but not international waters(D) a nation’s authority over its citizenry ended at territorial lines(E) although nations could extend their territorial dominion beyond three milesfrom their shoreline, most chose not to do so4. The author cites which one of the following as an effect of the extension of territorial waters beyond the three-mile limit?(A) increased political pressure on individual nations to establish comprehensive laws regulating ocean resources(B) a greater number of jurisdictional disputes among nations over the regulation of fishing on the open seas(C) the opportunity for some nations to manage large ocean ecosystems(D) a new awareness of the need to minimize pollution caused by navigation(E) a political incentive for smaller nations to solve the problems of pollution in their coastal waters5. According to the passage, before the middle of thetwentieth century, nations failed to establish rules protecting their territorial waters because(A) the waters appeared to be unpolluted and to contain unlimited resources(B) the fishing industry would be adversely affected by such rules(C) the size of the area that would be subject to such rules was insignificant(D) the technology needed for pollution control and resource management did not exist(E) there were few jurisdictional conflicts over nations’ territorial waters6. The passage as a whole can best be described as(A) a chronology of the events that have led up to present-day crisis(B) a legal inquiry into the abuse of existing laws and the likelihood of reform(C) a political analysis of the problems inherent in directing national attention to an international issue(D) a historical analysis of a problem that requires international attention(E) a proposal for adopting and implementing international standards to solve an ecological problem参考答案:1-6 BCACCDThe human species came into being at the time of the greatest biological diversity in the history of the Earth. Today, as human populations expand and alter the natural environment, they are reducing biological diversity to its lowest level since the end of the Mesozoic era, 65 million years ago. The ultimate consequences of this biological collision are beyond calculation,but they are certain to be harmful. That, in essence, is the biodiversity crisis.The history of global diversity can be summarized as follows: after the initial flowering of multicellular animals, there was a swift rise in the number of species in early Paleozoic times (between 600 and 430 million years ago), thenplateaulike stagnation for the remaining 200 million years of the Paleozoic era, and finally a slow but steady climb through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic era s to di versity’s all-time high. This history suggests that biological diversity was hard won and a long time in coming. Furthermore, this pattern of increase was set back by five massive extinction episodes. The most recent of these, during the Cretaceous period, is by far the most famous, because it ended the age of the dinosaurs, conferred hegemony on the mammals, and ultimately made possible the ascendancy of the human species. But the cretaceous crisis was minor compared with the Permian extinctions 240 million years ago, during which between 77 and 96 percent of marine animal species perished. It took 5 million years, well into Mesozoic times, for species diversity to begin a significant recovery.Within the past 10,000 years biological diversity has entered a wholly new era. Human activity has had a devastating effect on species diversity, and the rate of human-induced extinctions is accelerating. Half of the bird species of Polynesia have been eliminated through hunting and the destruction of native forests. Hundreds of fish species endemic to Lake Victoria are now threatened with extinction following the careless introduction of one species of fish, the Nile perch. The list of such biogeographic disasters is extensive.Because every species is unique and irreplaceable, the loss ofbiodiversity is the most profound process of environmental change. Its consequences are also the least predictable because the value of Earth’s biota (the fauna and flora collectively) remains largely unstudied and unappreciated; unlike material and cultural wealth, which we understand because they are the substance of our everyday lives, biological wealth is usually taken for granted. This is a serious strategic error, one that will be increasingly regretted as time passes. The biota is not only part of a country’s heritage, the product of millions of years of evolution centered on that place; it is also a potential source for immense untapped material wealth in the form of food, medicine, and other commercially important substance.7. Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?(A) The reduction in biodiversity is an irreversible process that represents a setback both for science and for society as a whole.(B) The material and cultural wealth of a nation are insignificant when compared with the country’s biological wealth.(C) The enormous diversity of life on Earth could not have come about without periodic extinctions that have conferred preeminence on one species at the expense of another.(D) The human species is in the process of initiating a massive extinction episode that may make past episodes look minor by comparison.(E) The current decline in species diversity is human-induced tragedy of incalculable proportions that has potentially grave consequences for the humanspecies.8. Which one of the following situations is most analogous to the history of global diversity summarized in lines 10-18 of the passage?(A) The number of fish in a lake declines abruptly as a result of water pollution, then makes a slow comeback after cleanup efforts and the passage of ordinances against dumping.(B) The concentration of chlorine in the water supply of large city fluctuates widely before stabilizing at a constant and safe level.(C) An old-fashioned article of clothing goes in and out of style periodically as a result of features in fashion magazines and the popularity of certain period films.(D) After valuable mineral deposits are discovered, the population of a geographic region booms then levels off and begins to decrease at a slow and steady pace.(E) The variety of styles stocked by a shoe store increases rapidly after the store opens, holds constant for many months, and then gradually creeps upward.9. The author suggests which one of the following about the Cretaceous crisis?(A) It was the second most devastating extinction episode in history.(B) It was the most devastating extinction episode up until that time.(C) It was less devastating to species diversity than is the current biodiversity crisis.(D) The rate of extinction among marine animal species as a result of the crisis did not approach 77 percent.(E) The dinosaurs comprised the great majority of species that perished during the crisis.10. The author mentions the Nile perch in order to provide an example of(A) a species that has become extinct through human activity(B) the typical lack of foresight that has led to biogeographic disaster(C) a marine animal species that survived the Permian extinctions(D) a species that is a potential source of material wealth(E) the kind of action that is necessary to reverse the decline in species diversity11. All of the following are explicitly mentioned in the passage as contributing to the extinction of species EXCEPT(A) hunting(B) pollution(C) deforestation(D) the growth of human populations(E) human-engineered changes in the environment12. The passage suggests which one of the following about material and cultural wealth?(A) Because we can readily assess the value of material and cultural wealth, we tend not to take them for granted.(B) Just as the biota is a source of potential material wealth, it is an untapped source of cultural wealth as well.(C) Some degree of material and cultural wealth may have to be sacrificed if we are to protect our biological heritage.(D) Material and cultural wealth are of less value than biological wealth because they have evolved over a shorter period of time.(E) Material wealth and biological wealth are interdependent in a way that material wealth and cultural wealth are not.13. The author would be most likely to agree with which one of the following statements about the consequences of the biodiversity crisis?(A) The loss of species diversity will have as immediate an impact on the material of nations as on their biological wealth.(B) The crisis will likely end the hegemony of the human race and bring about the ascendancy of another species.(C) The effects of the loss of species diversity will be dire, but we cannot yet tell how dire.(D) It is more fruitful to discuss the consequences of the crisis in terms of the potential loss to humanity than in strictly biological loss to humanity than in strictly biological terms.(E) The consequences of the crisis can be minimized, but the pace of extinctions can not be reversed.参考答案:7-13 EEDBBACWomen’s participation in the revolutionary events in France between 1789 and 1795 has only recently been given nuanced treatment. Early twentieth century historians of the French Revolution are typified by Jaures, who, though sympathetic to the women’s movement of his own time, never even mentions its antecedents in revolutionary France. Even today most general histories treat only cursorily a few individual women, like Marie Antoinette. The recent studies by Landes, Badinter, Godineau, and Roudinesco, however, should signal a much-needed reassessment of women’s participation.Godineau and Roudinesco point to three significant phases in that participation. The first, up to mid-1792, involved those women who wrote political tracts. Typical of their orientation to theoretical issues—in Godineaus’s。

新SAT官方指南阅读第十一篇全解析This passage is adapted from Saki,“The Schartz-Metterklume Method.”Originally published in1911.Lady Carlotta stepped out on to the platform of the small wayside station and took a turn or two up and down its uninteresting length,to kill time till the train should be pleased to proceed on its way.Then,in the roadway beyond,she saw a horse struggling with a more than ample load, and a carter of the sort that seems to bear a sullen hatred against the animal that helps him to earn 5a dy Carlotta promptly betook her to the roadway,and put rather a different complexionon the struggle.Certain of her acquaintances were wont to give her plentiful admonition as to the undesirability of interfering on behalf of a distressed animal,such interference being“none of her business.”Only once had she put the doctrine of non-interference into practice,when one of its most eloquent exponents had been besieged for nearly three hours in a small and extremelyuncomfortable may-tree by an angry boar-pig,while Lady Carlotta,on the other side of the fence, 10had proceeded with the water-colour sketch she was engaged on,and refused to interfere between the boar and his prisoner.It is to be feared that she lost the friendship of the ultimately rescuedlady.On this occasion she merely lost the train,which gave way to the first sign of impatience it had shown throughout the journey,and steamed off without her.She bore the desertion withphilosophical indifference;herfriends and relations were thoroughly well used to the fact of her 15luggage arriving without her.She wired a vague non-committal message to her destination to say that she was coming on“by another train.”Before she had time to think what her next move mightbe she was confronted by an imposingly attired lady,who seemed to be taking a prolonged mental inventory of her clothes and looks.20“You must be Miss Hope,the governess I’ve come to meet,”said the apparition,in a tone that admitted of very little argument.“Very well,if I must I must,”said Lady Carlotta to herself with dangerous meekness.“I am Mrs.Quabarl,”continued the lady;“and where,pray,is your luggage?”“It’s gone astray,”said the alleged governess,falling in with the excellent rule of life that the absent are always to blame;the luggage had,in point of fact,behaved with perfect correctitude. 25“I’ve just telegraphed about it,”she added,with a nearer approach to truth.“How provoking,”said Mrs.Quabarl;“these railway companies are so careless.However, my maid can lend you things for the night,”and she led the way to her car.During the drive to the Quabarl mansion Lady Carlotta was impressively introduced to the nature of the charge that had been thrust upon her;she learned that Claude and Wilfrid were30delicate,sensitive young people,that Irene had the artistic temperament highly developed,and that Viola wassomething or other else of a mould equally commonplace among children of that class and type in the twentieth century.“I wish them not only to be TAUGHT,”said Mrs.Quabarl,“but INTERESTED in what they 35learn.In their history lessons,for instance,you must try to make them feel that they are beingintroduced to the life-stories of men and women who really lived,not merely committing a mass of names and dates to memory.French,of course,I shall expect you to talk at meal-times several days in the week.”“I shall talk French four days of the week and Russian in the remaining three.”40“Russian?My dear Miss Hope,no one in the house speaks or understands Russian.”“That will not embarrass me in the least,”said Lady Carlotta coldly.Mrs.Quabarl,to use a colloquial expression,was knocked off her perch.She was one of those imperfectly self-assured individuals who are magnificent and autocratic as long as they are not seriously opposed.The least show of unexpected resistance goes a long way towards rendering 45them cowed and apologetic.When the new governess failed to express wondering admiration of the large newly-purchased and expensive car,and lightly alluded to the superior advantages of one or two makes which had just been put on the market,the discomfiture of her patroness becamealmost abject.Her feelings were those which might have animated a general of ancient warfaring days,on beholding his heaviest battle-elephant ignominiously driven off the field by slingers and 50javelin throwers.1、Which choice best summarizes the passage?A)A woman weighs the positive and negative aspects of accepting a new job.B)A woman does not correct a stranger who mistakes her for someone else.C)A woman impersonates someone else to seek revenge on an acquaintance.D)A woman takes an immediate dislike to her new employer.正确答案:B分析:文章讲述的是Lady Carlotta在火车站被Mrs.Quabarl误认为她的新保姆(You must be Miss Hope,the governess I’ve come to meet.)而Lady Carlotta并没有纠正Mrs.Quabarl的错误(very well,if I must I must)2、In line1,“turn”most nearly meansA)slight movement.B)change in rotation.C)short walk.D)course correction.正确答案:C分析:文章中1-3行,作者提到:Lady Carlotta走上路边车站的站台,上下走几小步,从而打发时间。

目前大陆没有考试点,香港有。
除了LAST,还需要TOEFL。
你如果要出国,考完这两门就差不多了,但是还是最好看下你想申请的学校的网页,可能会有特殊要求(我在看经济类的专业时遇到有的专业是GRE和GMAT兼收,有的是GRE 成绩者优先考虑)。
去美国读法学硕士需要考LSAT。
之后不需要再考GRE,但是需要考托福以证明你的英语能力,虽然LSAT很能证明人的英语能力。

美国法学院入学考试LSAT阅读真题11(含答案)SECTION IIITime 35 minutes 26 QuestionsDirections: Each passage in this section is followed by a group of questions to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. For some of the questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer, that is, the response that most accurately and completely answers the question, and blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.Immigrants’adoption of English as their primary language is one measure of assimilation into the larger United States society. Generally languages define social groups and provide justification for social structures. Hence, a distinctive language sets a cultural group off from the dominant language group. Throughout United States history this pattern has resulted in one consistent, unhappy consequence, discrimination against members of the cultural minority. Language differences provide both a way to rationalize subordination and a ready means for achieving it.Traditionally, English has replaced the native language of immigrant groups by the second or third generation. Some characteristics of today’s Spanish-speaking population, however, suggest the possibility of a departure from this historical pattern. Many families retain ties in Latin America and move back and forth between their present and former communities. This “revolving door”phenomenon, along with the high probability of additional immigrants from the south, means that large Spanish-speaking communities are likely to exist in the United States for the indefinite future.This expectation underlies the call for national support for bilingual education inSpanish-speaking communities’public schools. Bilingual education can serve different purposes, however. In the 1960s, such programs were established to facilitate the learning of English so as to avoid disadvantaging children in their other subjects because of their limited English. More recently, many advocates have viewed bilingual education as a means to maintain children’s native languages and cultures. The issue is important for people with different political agendas, from absorption at one pole to separatism at the other.To date, the evaluations of bilingual education’s impact on learning have been inconclusive. The issue of bilingual education has, nevertheless, served to unite the leadership of the nation’s Hispanic communities. Grounded in concerns about status that are directly traceable to the United States history of discrimination against Hispanics, the demand for maintenance of the Spanish language in the schools is an assertion of the worth of a people and their culture. If the United States is truly a multicultural nation—that is, if it is one culture reflecting the contributions of many—this demand should be seen as a demand not for separation but for inclusion.More direct efforts to force inclusion can be misguided. For example, movements to declare English the official language do not truly advance the cohesion of a multicultural nation. They alienate the twenty million people who do not speak English as their mother tongue. They are unnecessary since the public’s business is already conducted largely in English. Further, given the present state of understanding about the effects of bilingual education on learning, it would beunwise to require the universal use of English. Finally, it is for parents and local communities to choose the path they will follow, including how much of their culture they want to maintain for their children.1. It can be inferred from the passage that one of the characteristics of immigrant groups to the United States has traditionally been that, after immigration, relatively few members of the group(A) became politically active in their new communities(B) moved back and forth repeatedly between the United States and their former communities(C) used their native languages in their new communities(D) suffered discrimination in their new communities at the hands of the cultural majority(E) sought assimilation into the dominant culture of the new communities they were entering2. The passage suggests that one of the effects of the debate over bilingual education is that it has(A) given the Hispanic community a new-found pride in its culture(B) hampered the education of Spanish-speaking students(C) demonstrated the negative impact on imposing English as the official United States language(D) provided a common banner under which the Spanish-speaking communities could rally(E) polarized the opinions of local Spanish-speaking community leaders3. In lines 38-39, the phrase “different political agendas”refers specifically to conflicting opinions regarding the(A) means of legislating the assimilation of minorities into United States society(B) methods of inducing Hispanics to adopt English as their primary language(C) means of achieving nondiscriminatory education for Hispanics(D) official given responsibility for decisions regarding bilingual education(E) extent to which Hispanics should blend into the larger United States society4. In lines 64-65 the author says that “It would be unwise to require the universal use of English.”One reason for this, according to the author, is that(A) it is not clear yet whether requiring the universal use of English would promote or hinder the education of children whose English is limited(B) the nation’s Hispanic leaders have shown that bilingual education is most effective when it includes the maintenance of the Spanish language in the schools(C) requiring the universal use of English would reduce the cohesion of the nation’s Hispanic communities and leadership(D) the question of language in the schools should be answered by those who evaluate bilingual education, not by people with specific political agendas(E) it has been shown that bilingual education is necessary to avoid disadvantaging in their general learning children whose English is limited5. In the last paragraph, the author of the passage is primarily concerned with discussing(A) reasons against enacting a measure that would mandate the forced inclusion of immigrant groups within the dominant United culture(B) the virtues and limitations of declaring English the official language of the United States(C) the history of attitudes within the Hispanic community toward bilingual education in theUnited States(D) the importance for immigrant groups of maintaining large segments of their culture to pass on to their children(E) the difference in cultures between Hispanics and other immigrant groups in the United States参考答案:1-5 BDEAAThe refusal of some countries to extradite persons accused or convicted of terrorist act has focused attention on the problems caused by the political offense exception to extradition. Extradition is the process by which one country returns an accused or convicted person found within its borders to another country for trial or punishment. Under the political offense exception, the requested state may, if it considers the crime to be a “political offense,”deny extradition to the requesting state.Protection of political offenses is a recent addition to the ancient practice of extradition. It is the result of two fundamental changes that occurred as European monarchies were replaced by representative governments. First, these governments began to reject what had been a primary intent of extradition, to expedite the return of political offenders, and instead sought to protect dissidents fleeing despotic regimes. Second, countries began to contend that they had no legal or moral duty to extradite offenders without specific agreements creating such obligations. As extradition laws subsequently developed through international treaties, the political offense exception gradually became an accepted principle among Western nations.There is no international consensus, however, as to what constitutes a political offense. For analytical purposes illegal political conduct has traditionally been divided into two categories. “Pure”political offenses are acts perpetrated directly against the government, such as treason and espionage. These crimes are generally recognized as nonextraditable, even if not expressly excluded from extradition by the applicable treaty. In contrast, common crimes, such as murder, assault, and robbery, are generally extraditable. However, there are some common crimes that are so inseparable from a political act that the entire offense is regarded as political. These crimes, which are called “relative”political offenses, are generally nonextraditable. Despite the widespread acceptance of these analytic constructs, the distinctions are more academic than meaningful. When it comes to real cases, there is no agreement about what transforms a common crime into a political offense and about whether terrorist acts fall within the protection of the exception. Most terrorists claim that their acts do fall under this protection.Nations of the world must now balance the competing needs of political freedom and international public order. It is time to reexamine the political offense exception, as international terrorism eradicates the critical distinctions between political offenses and nonpolitical crimes. The only rational and attainable objective of the exception is to protect the requested person against unfair treatment by the requesting country. The international community needs to find an alternative to the political offense exception that would protect the rights of requested persons and yet not offer terrorists immunity from criminal liability.6. In the passage, the author primarily seeks to(A) define a set of terms(B) outline a new approach(C) describe a current problem(D) expose an illegal practice(E) present historical information7. According to the passage, when did countries begin to except political offenders from extradition?(A) when the principle of extraditing accused or convicted persons originated(B) when some nations began refusing to extradite persons accused or convicted of terrorist acts(C) when representative governments began to replace European monarchies(D) when countries began to refuse to extradite persons accused or convicted of common crimes(E) when governments began to use extradition to expedite the return of political offenders8. Given the discussion in the passage, which one of the following distinctions does the author consider particularly problematic?(A) between common crimes and “relative”political offense(B) between “pure”political offenses and common crimes(C) between “pure”political offenses and “relative”political offenses(D) between terrorist acts and acts of espionage(E) between the political offense exception and other exceptions to extradition9. According to the author, the primary purpose of the political offense exception should be to(A) ensure that terrorists are tried for their acts(B) ensure that individuals accused of political crimes are not treated unfairly(C) distinguish between political and nonpolitical offenses(D) limit extradition to those accused of “pure”political offenses(E) limit extradition to those accused of “relative”political offenses10. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would agree with which one of the following statements about the political offense exception?(A) The exception is very unpopular.(B) The exception is probably illegal.(C) The exception is used too little.(D) The exception needs rethinking.(E) The exception is too limited.11. When referring to a balance between “the competing needs of political freedom and international public order”(lines 54-55) the author means that nations must strike a balance between(A) allowing persons to protest political injustice and preventing them from committing political offenses(B) protecting the rights of persons requested for extradition and holding terrorists criminally liable(C) maintaining the political offense exception to extradition and clearing up the confusion over what is a political offense(D) allowing nations to establish their own extradition policies and establishing anagreed-upon international approach to extradition(E) protecting from extradition persons accused of “pure”political offenses and ensuring the trial of persons accused of “relative”political offenses12. The author would most likely agree that the political offense exception(A) has, in some cases, been stretched beyond intended use(B) has been used too infrequently to be evaluated(C) has been a modestly useful weapon again terrorism(D) has never met the objective for which it was originally established(E) has been of more academic than practical value to political dissidents13. Which one of the following, if true, would give the author most cause to reconsider her recommendation regarding the political offence exception (lines 62-66)?(A) More nations started refusing to extradite persons accused or convicted of terrorist acts.(B) More nations started extraditing persons accused or convicted of treason, espionage, and other similar crimes.(C) The nations of the world sharply decreased their use of the political offense exception protect persons accused of each of the various types of “pure”political offenses.(D) The nations of the world sharply decreased their use of the political offense exception to protect persons accused of each of the various types of “relative”political offenses.(E) The nations of the world started to disagree over the analytical distinction between “pure”political offenses and “relative”political offenses.参考答案:6-13 CCABDBADAs is well known and has often been described, the machine industry of recent times took its rise by a gradual emergence out of handicraft in England in the eighteenth century. Since then the mechanical industry has progressively been getting the upper hand in all the civilized nations, in much the same degree in which these nations have come to be counted as civilized. This mechanical industry now stands dominant at the apex of the industrial system.The state of the industrial arts, as it runs on the lines of the mechanical industry, is a technology of physics and chemistry. That is to say, it is governed by the same logic as the scientific laboratories. The procedure, the principles, habits of thought, preconceptions, units of measurement and of valuation, are the same in both cases.The technology of physics and chemistry is not derived from established law and custom, and it goes on its way with as nearly complete a disregard of the spiritual truths of law and custom as the circumstances will permit. The realities with which this technology is occupied are of another order of actuality, lying altogether within the three dimensions that contain the material universe, and running altogether on the logic of material fact. In effect it is the logic of inanimate facts.The mechanical industry makes use of the same range of facts handled in the same impersonal way and directed to the same manner of objective results. In both cases alike it is of the first importance to eliminate the “personal equation,”to let the work go forward and let the forces at work take effect quite objectively, without hindrance or deflection for any personal end, interest, or gain. It is the technician’s place in industry, as it is the scientist’s place in the laboratory, to serve as an intellectual embodiment of the forces at work, isolate the forces engaged from all extraneous disturbances, and let them take full effect along the lines of designed work. The technician is an active or creative factor in the case only in the sense that he is the keeper of the logic which governs the forces at work.These forces that so are brought to bear in mechanical industry are of an objective, impersonal, unconventional nature, of course. They are of the nature of opaque fact. Pecuniarygain is not one of these impersonal facts. Any consideration of pecuniary gain that may be injected into the technician’s working plans will come into the case as an intrusive and alien factor, whose sole effect is to deflect, retard, derange and curtail the work in hand. At the same time considerations of pecuniary gain are the only agency brought into the case by the businessmen, and the only ground on which they exercise a control of production.14. The author of the passage is primarily concerned with discussing(A) industrial organization in the eighteenth century(B) the motives for pecuniary gain(C) the technician’s place in mechanical industry(D) the impersonal organization of industry(E) the material contribution of physics in industrial society15. The author of the passage suggests that businessmen in the mechanical industry are responsible mainly for(A) keeping the logic governing the forces at work(B) managing the profits(C) directing the activities of the technicians(D) employing the technological procedures of physics and chemistry(E) treating material gain as a spiritual truth16. Which one of the following, if true, would contradict the author’s belief that the role of technician is to be “the keeper of the logic”(lines 45-46)?(A) All technicians are human beings with feelings and emotions.(B) An interest in pecuniary gain is the technician’s sole motive for participation in industry.(C) The technician’s working plans do not coincide with the technician’s pecuniary interests.(D) Technicians are employed by businessmen to oversee the forces at work.(E) Technicians refuse to carry out the instructions of the businessmen.17. The author would probably most strongly agree with which one of the following statements about the evolution of the industrial system?(A) The handicraft system of industry emerged in eighteenth-century England and was subsequently replaced by the machine industry.(B) The handicraft system of industrial production has gradually given rise to a mechanistic technology that dominates contemporary industry.(C) The handicraft system emerged as the dominant factor of production ineighteenth-century England but was soon replaced by mechanical techniques of production.(D) The mechanical system of production that preceded the handicraft system was the precursor of contemporary means of production.(E) The industrial arts developed as a result of the growth of the mechanical industry that followed the decline of the handicraft system of production.18. Which one of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward scientific techniques?(A) critical(B) hostile(C) idealistic(D) ironic(E) neutral参考答案:14-18 DBBBE(This passage was originally published in 1905)The word democracy may stand for a natural social equality in the body politic or for a constitutional form of government in which power lies more or less directly in the people’s hand. The former may be called social democracy and the later democratic government. The two differ widely, both in origin and in moral principle. Genetically considered, social democracy is something primitive, unintended, proper to communities where there is general competence and no marked personal eminence. There be no will aristocracy, no prestige, but instead an intelligent readiness to lend a hand and to do in unison whatever is done. In other words, there will be that most democratic of governments—no government at all. But when pressure of circumstances, danger, or inward strife makes recognized and prolonged guidance necessary to a social democracy, the form its government takes is that of a rudimentary monarchy established by election or general consent. A natural leader emerges and is instinctively obeyed. That leader may indeed be freely criticized and will not be screened by any pomp or traditional mystery; he or she will be easy to replace and every citizen will feel essentially his or her equal. Yet such a state is at the beginnings of monarchy and aristocracy.Political democracy, on the other hand, is a late and artificial product. It arises by a gradual extension of aristocratic privileges, through rebellion against abuses, and in answer to restlessness on the people’s part. Its principle is not the absence of eminence, but the discovery that existing eminence is no longer genuine and representative. It may retain many vestiges of older and less democratic institutions. For under democratic governments the people have not created the state; they merely control it. Their suspicions and jealousies are quieted by assigning to them a voice, perhaps only a veto, in the administration. The people’s liberty consists not in their original responsibility for what exists, but merely in the faculty they have acquired of abolishing any detail that may distress or wound them, and of imposing any new measure, which, seen against the background of existing laws, may commend itself from time to time to their instinct and mind.If we turn from origins to ideals, the contrast between social and political democracy is no less marked. Social democracy is a general ethical ideal, looking to human equality and brotherhood, and inconsistent, in its radical form, with such institutions as the family and hereditary property. Democratic government, on the contrary, is merely a means to an end, an expedient for the better and smoother government of certain states at certain junctures. It involves no special ideals of life; it is a question of policy, namely, whether the general interest will be better served by granting all people an equal voice in elections. For political democracy must necessarily be a government by deputy, and the questions actually submitted to the people can be only very large rough matters of general policy or of confidence in party leaders.19. The author suggests that the lack of “marked personal eminence”(line 11) is an important feature of a social democracy because(A) such a society is also likely to contain the seeds of monarchy and aristocracy(B) the absence of visible social leaders in such a society will probably impede the development of a political democracy(C) social democracy represents a more sophisticated form of government than political democracy(D) a society that lacks recognized leadership will be unable to accomplish its culturalobjectives(E) the absence of visible social leaders in such a community is likely to be accompanied by a spirit of cooperation20. Which one of the following forms of government does the author say is most likely to evolve from a social democracy?(A) monarchy(B) government by deputy(C) political democracy(D) representative democracy(E) constitutional democracy21. The author of the passage suggests that a political democracy is likely to have been immediately preceded by which one of the following forms of social organization?(A) a social democracy in which the spirit of participation has been diminished by the need to maintain internal security(B) an aristocratic society in which government leaders have grown insensitive to people’s interests(C) a primitive society that stresses the radical equality of all its members(D) a state of utopian brotherhood in which no government exists(E) a government based on general ethical ideals22. According to the passage, “the people’s liberty”(line 42) in a political democracy is best defined as(A) a willingness to accept responsibility for existing governmental forms(B) a myth perpetrated by aristocratic leaders who refuse to grant political power to their subjects(C) the ability to impose radically new measures when existing governmental forms are found to be inadequate(D) the ability to secure concessions from a government that may retain many aristocratic characteristics(E) the ability to elect leaders whom the people consider socially equal to themselves23. According to the author of this passage, a social democracy would most likely adopt a formal system of government when(A) recognized leadership becomes necessary to deal with social problems(B) people lose the instinctive ability to cooperate in solving social problems(C) a ruling monarch decides that it is necessary to grant political concessions to the people(D) citizens no longer consider their social leaders essentially equal to themselves(E) the human instinct to obey social leaders has been weakened by suspicion and jealousy24. According to the passage, which one of the following is likely to occur as a result of the discovery that “existing eminence is no longer genuine and representative”(lines 35-36)?(A) Aristocratic privileges will be strengthened, which will result in a further loss of the people’s liberty.(B) The government will be forced to admit its responsibility for the inadequacy of existing political institutions.(C) The remaining vestiges of less democratic institutions will be banished from government.(D) People will gain political concessions from the government and a voice in the affairs ofstate.(E) People will demand that political democracy conform to the ethical ideals of social democracy.25. It can be inferred from the passage that the practice of “government by deputy”(line64) in a political democracy probably has its origins in(A) aristocratic ideals(B) human instincts(C) a commitment to human equality(D) a general ethical ideal(E) a policy decision26. Which one of the following statements, if true, would contradict the author’s notion of the characteristics of social democracy?(A) Organized governmental systems tend to arise spontaneously, rather than in response to specific problem situations.(B) The presence of an organized system of government stifles the expression of human equality and brotherhood.(C) Social democracy represents a more primitive form of communal organization than political democracy.(D) Prolonged and formal leadership may become necessary in a social democracy when problems arise that cannot be resolved by recourse to the general competence of the people.(E) Although political democracy and social democracy are radically different forms of communal organization, it is possible for both to contain elements of monarchy.参考答案:19-26 EABDADEA。
