Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the
passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its
general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you
are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just
heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you
should check what you have written.
When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always are 26 ,
they replied, “Because it is right.” If we ask Americans why they eat with
knives and forks, or why their men wear pants 27 skirts, or why they may be
married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get
28
and very
uninformative answers: “Because it’s right.” “Because that’s the way it’s
done.” “Because it’s the 29 .” Or even “I don’t know.” The reason for these
and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are 30 by social
norms—shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior that is
appropriate in a given situation. Norms 31 how people “ought” to behave
under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform ( 遵 守 ) to
norms so readily that we are hardly aware they
32 . In fact, we are much
more likely to notice 33 from norms than conformity to them. You would not
be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but
you might be a little 34 if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on
both 35 . Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other
parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different,
we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.
Part Ⅲ
Reading Comprehension
(40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are
required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices
given in a word bank following the passage: Read the passage
through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the
bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter
for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the
centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than
once.
