| 第3题：The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new achievements in art, literature, science, philosophy, education and religion.Although die foundation of many of these was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed, many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the classical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideas and attitudes that gave it the impress of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and individualism; but the most significant of them all was humanism. In its broadest meaning humanism may be defined as emphasis on the human values. It was a term derived fromCicero, who used it in the sense of devotion to the liberal arts, or the subjects most compatible with the dignity of man. The humanists rejected the Scholastic philosophy with its preoccupation with theology and logiC、They strove for a smooth and elegant style that would appeal more to the aesthetic than to the rational side of man’s nature. |

| 第4题：Passage 2In his typicallyAmerican open style of communication, Mr. Hayes confronted Isabeta about not looking at him. Reluctantly, she explained why.As a newcomer from Mexico, she had been taught to avoid eye contact as a mark of respect to authority figures, teachers, employers, parents. Mr. Hayes did not know this. He then informed her that mostAmericans interpret lack of eye contact as disrespect and deviousness. Ultimately, he convinced Isabela to try and change her habit, which she slowly diD、People from manyAsian, LatinAmerican, andCaribbean cultures also avoid eye contact as a sign of respect. ManyAfricanAmericans, especially from the South, observe this custom, too. A、master’s thesis by SamuelAvoian, a graduate student atCentral Missouri State University, tells how misinterpreting eye-contact customs can have a negative impact when white football coaches recruitAfricanAmerican players for the teams. He reports that, when speaking, white communicators usually look away from the listener, only periodically glancing at them. They do the opposite when listening they are expected to look at the speaker all the time. ManyAfricanAmericans communicate in an opposite way. When speaking, they tend to constantly stare at the listener; when listening, they mostly look away. Therefore, if white sports recruiters are not informed about these significant differences, they can be misled about interest and attentiveness when interviewing prospectiveAfricanAmerican ball players. In multiculturalAmerica, issues of’Eye contact have brought about social conflicts of two different kinds in many urban centers, non-Korean customers became angry when Korean shopkeepers did not look at them directly. The customers translated the lack of eye contact as a sign of disrespect, a habit blamed for contributing to the open confrontation raking place between someAsians andAfricanAmericans in New York, Texas, andCaliforni A、Many teachers too have provided stories about classroom conflicts based on their misunderstandingAsian and LatinAmerican children lack of eye contact as being disrespectful. On the other hand, direct eye contact has now taken on a new meaning among the younger generation and across ethnic borders. Particularly in urban centers, when one teenager looks directly at another, this is considered a provocation, sometimes called mad-dogging, and can lead to physical conflict. Mad-dogging has become the source of many campus conflicts. In one high school, it resulted in a fight betweenCambodian newcomers andAfrican-American students. TheCambodians had been staring at the other students merely to learn howAmericans behave, yet the others misinterpreted theCambodians’ intentions and the fight began. Mad-dogging seems to be connected with the avoidance of eye contact as a sign of respect. Thus, in the urban contemporary youth scene, if one looks directly at another, this disrespects, or "disses," that person. Much like the archaic phrase "I demand satisfaction," which became the overture to a duel, mad-dogging may become a prelude to a physical encounter. At the entrances to Universal Studio’s "City Walk" attraction in LosAngeles, they have postedCode ofConduct signs. The second rule warns against "physically over bally threatening any person, fighting, annoying others through noisy or boisterous activities or by unnecessary staring..."Mad-dogging refers to ______. A、a provocation from one teenager to another of a different ethnic background B．physical conflict among the younger generation in urban centers C．a lack of eye contact as a sign of respect D．the source of many campus conflicts across ethnic borders in urban centers |
