A Society Without a Formal Authority
In the seventeenth century,European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the westem Great Lakes found that several native tribes（部落）were living in the area without a formal leadership system.They appeared to be"quite friendly with each other without a formal authority"!
Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority,but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions.All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong（一生的）familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus,although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders,no real authority was required.Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough),members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
It would be difficult,if not impossible,to carry out such a system in our own society.Most oi us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents,our teachers,our bosses,our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell u, what to do.The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workabl( society without it.We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
Of course,the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large.The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often undertight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system,in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.According to the author,it is hard for a society to work without_______.
A:a recognized authority
B:enough money
C:examples
D:changes答案：A解析：本题问“下列哪项关于欧洲士兵的陈述是正确的？”文章第一段提到“欧洲士兵偶然遇见一群居住在西部大湖群的印第安人”。选项A、选项B、选项D在文中都未提到。因此选项C“他们偶然遇见一些印第安部落”符合题意。
本题问“通过何种方法部落成员使其他成员做事”。文章第二段末尾提到“部落成员通过榜样的力量唤起其他成员采取行动，而不是发出直接命令”。由此可知选项 B“通过榜样”符合题意。
本题是“根据作者的看法，一个社会没有······很难运转”。文章第三段中间提到："The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it.”因此选A。
本题是“读过文章，可得出结论······”。文章前两段谈到印第安部落的制度模式，第三段提到“It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society"，第四段解释我们的社会不能执行印第安人的制度的原因。综上所述，选项D“印第安制度很难在我们的社会中执行”符合题意。implement等于carry out（执行）。
本题是“从文章中可以看出，执行我们社会中的任务······”。文章最后一段说“The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time"。因此选项C“没有任何施延”符合提议。 -

第20题：

If the statements above and the claim of the scientists are true, which of the following must also be true?ABirds share more characteristics with dinosaurs than they do with other animals.
BSome ancient dinosaurs were indistinguishable from modern birds.
CAll animals whose skulls share the characteristics of those of modern birds also have pelvic bones that are similar to those of modern birds.
DModern birds are dinosaurs.
EAll dinosaurs are birds.
正确答案： E解析：
由文段可知，科学家根据一些恐龙的头盖骨和骨盆骨与所有现代鸟类的头盖骨和骨盆骨有许多相同特征，得出结论：所有具有这些特征的动物是恐龙，如果这个推理是正确的话，我们可以认为现代鸟类是恐龙，故本题选D项。 -
第21题：
单选题One of the main goals of the modern woman’s liberation movement, which started in the early 1960s, was to _____ sex discrimination in the workforce, and to open up careers for women that were previously reserved for men.Aabolish
Beliminate
Cdiminish
Dextinguish
正确答案： A解析：
句意：发起于20世纪60年代早期的现代妇女解放运动的主要目的之一就是消除对劳动力的性别歧视，而且向妇女们开放那些原来属于男性的工作。妇女运动的一个主要目的应该“消除”性别歧视。eliminate彻底消除，消灭，后面可接某些表示现象、意识形态等的抽象名词，因此B为正确答案。abolish废除，取消，通常指废除或取消某种制度或法律、法规，但性别歧视不是制度或法律条文，而是一种意识形态，所以不能和abolish搭配使用。diminish使变少，变小，表示程度或数量上的减轻或减少。extinguish消失，通常指使火熄灭或使希望、热情等消亡。 -

正确答案： C解析：
语义题。第一段第二句指出“几百年前，孩子们看上去就像成人一样：他们穿着成人的衣服，带着成人的表情并且完成着成人的任务”。由此可知划线部分所描述的“相对而言，孩子是个现代发明”，指的是“几百年前的孩子和成人一样，并不会受到区别对待，故选D。 -
