Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.TEXT AIt is possible for students to obtain advanced degree in English while knowing little or nothing about traditional scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the study of women writers. If the canon-the list of authors whose works are most widely taught-is ever to include more women, scholars must be well trained in historical scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know how to read early manuscripts, locate rare books, establish a sequence of editions, and so on are lacking crucial tools for revising the canon.To address such concerns, an experimental version of the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to raise students consciousness about the usefulness of traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist. To minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course, the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students with; a wide range of reference sources. Instead students were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on a neglected eighteenth century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of their own work.Griffiths work presented a number of advantages for this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could be all read in a day, thus students spent little time and effort mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own discoveries. Griffiths play-The Platonic Wife exists in three visions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addition, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth century, as her continued productivity and favorable reviews demonstrate, her exclusion from the canon and virtual disappearance from literary history also helped raise issues concerning the current canon.The range of Griffiths work meant that each student could become the worlds leading authority on a particular Griffith text. For example, a student studying Griffiths Wife in the Right obtained a first edition of the play and studied it for some weeks. This student was suitably shocked and outraged to find its title transformed into A Wife in the Night in Watts Bibliotheca Britannica. Such experiences, inevitable and common in working on a writer to whom so little attention has been paid serve to vaccinate the students-I hope for a lifetime-against credulous use of reference sources.81. The author of the passage is primarily concerned with _.A. revealing a commonly ignored deficiencyB. proposing a return to traditional methodC. describing an attempt to correct a shortcomingD. assessing the success of a new pedagogical approach82. Which of the following is a disadvantage of the strategy employed in the experimental scholarly methods course?A. Students were not given an opportunity to study women writers outside the canon.B. Students had little background knowledge for further research.C. Most of the students in the course had little opportunity to study 18th century literature.D. Students were not given an opportunity to encounter certain sources of information that could prove useful in their future studies.83. The particular pedagogical purpose mentioned in Paragraph 3 is to _.A. minimize the trivial aspects of the traditional scholarly methods courseB. encourage scholarly rigor in students own researchC. reestablish Griffiths reputation as an authorD. bridge the gap between the new method and the traditional approach84. It can be inferred that the author expects, that the experience of the student mentioned as having studied Wife in the Right would have the effect that _.A. it would lead the student to have a clear understanding of the editorsB. it would teach the student to question the accuracy of certain kinds of information sources when studying neglected authorsC. it would teach the student to avoid the use of reference sources in studying neglected authors D. it would enhance the students appreciation of the works of authors not include in the canon85. What is the function of the last paragraph in relation to the passage as a whole?A. It summarizes the benefits students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course.B. It provides additional reasons why Griffiths works raises issues having to do with the canon of authors.C. It provides an illustration of the immediate nature of the experiences students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course.D. It contrasts the experience of a student in the experimental scholarly methods course with the experience of a student in the traditional course.TEXT BCultural norms so completely surround people, so permeate thought and action, that we never recognize the assumptions on which their lives and their sanity rest. As one observer put it, if birds were suddenly endowed with scientific curiosity they might examine many things, but the sky itself would be overlooked as a suitable subject; if fish were to become curious about the world, it would never occur to them to begin by investigating water. For birds and fish would take the sky and sea for granted, unaware of their profound influence because they comprise the medium for every fact. Human beings, in a similarly way, occupy a symbolic universe governed by codes that are unconsciously acquired and automatically employed. So much so that they rarely notice that the ways they interpret and talk about events are distinctively different from the ways people conduct their affairs in other cultures.As long as people remain blind to the sources of their meanings, they are imprisoned within them. These cultural frames of reference are no less confining simply because they cannot be seen or touched. Whether it is an individual neurosis that keeps an individual out of contact with his neighbors, or a collective neurosis that separates neighbors of different cultures, both are forms of blindness that limit what can be experienced and what can be learned from others.It would seem that everywhere people would desire to break out of the boundaries of their own experiential worlds. Their ability to react sensitively to a wider spectrum of events and peoples requires an overcoming of such cultural parochialism. But, in fact, few attain this broader vision. Some, of course, have little opportunity for wider cultural experience, though this condition should change as the movement of people accelerates. Others do not try to widen their experience because they prefer the old and familiar, seek from their affairs only further confirmation of the correctness of their own values. Still others recoil from such experiences because they feel it dangerous to probe too deeply into the personal or cultural unconscious. Exposure may reveal how tenuous and arbitrary many cultural norms are; such exposure might force people to acquire new bases for interpreting events. And even for the many who do seek actively to enlarge the variety of human beings with whom they are capable of communicating there are still difficulties.Cultural myopia persists not merely because of inertia and habit, but chiefly because it is so difficult to overcome. One acquires a personality and a culture in childhood, long before he is capable of comprehending either of them. To survive, each person masters the perceptual orientations, cognitive biases, and communicative habits of his own culture. But once mastered, objective assessment of these same processes is awkward since the same mechanisms that are being evaluated must be used in making the evaluations.86. The examples of birds and fish are used to _.A. show that they, too, have their respective culturesB. explain humans occupy a symbolic universe as birds and fish occupy the sky and the seaC. illustrate that human beings are unaware of the cultural codes governing themD. demonstrate the similarity between man, birds, and fish in their ways of thinking87. The term parochialism (Line 3, Para. 3) most possibly means _.A. open-mindedness B. provincialism C. superiority D. discrimination88. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _.A. everyone would like to widen their cultural scope if they canB. the obstacles to overcoming cultural parochialism lie mainly in peoples habit of thinkingC. provided ones brought up in a culture, he may be with bias in making cultural evaluationsD. childhood is an important stage in comprehending culture89. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Individual and collective neurosis might prevent communications with others.B. People in different cultures may be governed by the same cultural norms.C. Peoples visions will be enlarged if only they knew that cultural differences exist.D. If cultural norms are something tangible, they wont be so confining.90. The passage might be entitled _.A. How to Overcome Cultural Myopia B. Behavioral Patterns and Cultural BackgroundC. Harms of Cultural Myopia D. Cultural Myopia-A Deep-rooted Collective NeurosisTEXTCA Holy Week procession (Settimana Santa) is an event taking place in Holy Week, most often in a country with traditional Roman Catholic culture. This tradition goes back a long way, to a Christian use in medieval times and in some cases there are testimonies dating back to the XVI century. The Easter period is an incredibly important time in the calendar of this largely Roman Catholic nation, and events are used to mark the occasion throughout Italy. One of the most important of these occurs in Rome on Good Friday, when the Pope leads a procession past the Colosseum and the Roman Forum right up to the ancient Palatine Hill. Then on Easter Sunday the Pontiff holds Mass and gives a blessing to the crowd from the balcony of St Peters Basilica.Around of the country Italians celebrat
