IV. 閱讀測驗:以下有兩篇短文,共有10個題目,為第4150題,請於閱讀短文後,選出最適當的答案。

▲ 閱讀下文,回答第41−45題

       Say “evolution” and some folks think of dusty archaeologists examining bone fragments. But, while evidence of previous life forms does play a central part in our understanding of evolution, it is not necessary to go on a dig to see it in action—you might just look inside your mouth.
We all learn that human beings have thirty-two teeth. They are not all the same, though; the pointy incisors in the front are easily distinguished from the flatter, double-edged bicuspids that run along the side. Our teeth serve different functions: those incisors are great for biting and holding on, while the bicuspids do more of a saw-motion for chewing.
Now here is something you may not know: strictly speaking, it is not true that everyone has thirty-two teeth. Even excluding people with dental problems, some folks have only thirty, or even twenty-eight. The ones that are missing are often the farthest back in the mouth. Where did they go?
One likely answer is found in evolution. A long time ago—say ten thousand years—human beings ate much more raw meat. With a rough diet, you need lots of grinding teeth to help prepare your food for digestion. Later, with the gradual advent of cooked foods, not all those teeth are needed anymore. If someone is born without them, he or she does not suffer any ill consequence; a scientist would say there is no evolutionary pressure to keep those teeth.

41.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

 

(A) Only archaeologists understand evolution.

 

(B) Everyone has thirty-two teeth.

  (C)

Ten thousand years ago, human beings ate much more raw meat than we do now.

 

(D)

With the gradual advent of cooked foods, we need more teeth to chew them.


42.

Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word “pointy” in the second paragraph?

  (A) sharp (B) round

(C) flat

(D) long

43.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

 

(A) Previous life forms play a central part in our understanding of evolution.

 

(B) Some people have fewer teeth than others.

 

(C) Animals have more teeth than human beings.

 

(D) The bicuspids are used mainly for chewing.


44.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

 

(A) Human incisors look much like bicuspids.

  (B)

Some people do not need the teeth that are the farthest back in the mouth.

 

(C)

Today people are born without the teeth that are the farthest back in the mouth.
 

(D) Ancient people have less than thirty-two teeth.


45.

What is the passage mainly about?

 

(A) Different functions of human teeth.

 

(B) People with dental problems.

 

(C) The advent of cooked foods.

 

(D) Evolution in terms of human teeth.

      說到“進化”有些人就會想到滿身灰塵的考古學家在檢查骨頭碎片。雖然以往的生命型態遺物對於我們瞭解進化確實扮演一個主要角色,但是這並不需要實際地去挖掘出來看 – 你可以看看你的嘴巴裡面。
我們都知道人類有32顆牙齒。它們都不是完全一樣,前面尖尖的門牙和排在後面平坦有雙棱邊的臼齒是很容易辨別的。我們的牙齒作用是不同的:那些門牙對咬住東西很好,然而臼齒大多是用於像鋸子般地咀嚼。
有些事情也許你並不知道:嚴格說起來,每個人都有32顆牙齒並不是正確的。即使除了牙齒有問題的人之外,有些人只有30顆,或甚至只有28顆。那些不見的牙齒通常是嘴巴最裡面的。它們到哪去了?
最可能的答案之一是在進化中被發現的。很久以前 – 說1萬年好了 – 人類吃生肉較多。這些粗糙的食物,你需要許多咀嚼的牙齒來幫助消化。其後,隨著逐漸開始烹飪食物,這些牙齒就不再全部都需要了。如果有人生下來就沒有這些牙齒,他或她又沒有生病;科學家會說在進化上並沒有保留這些牙齒的必要。

▲ 閱讀下文,回答第46−50題

        We are always trying to understand ourselves by asking “Why did I do that?” Certainly it is true that each human being faces the question of understanding himself, even though he may not put this question in so many words. Part of the answer to “Why did I do that?” is found in the way the individual looks upon himself, or the way he sees himself. This is referred to as the individual’s self-concept.
It is obvious that we will tend to act with more self-control, and be happier, if we can gradually gain a better understanding of how we ourselves think and act, and what kind of individuals we really are. For example, a young woman may “see herself” as a poor conversationalist and a kind of “wet blanket” when she goes out with her friends. Actually, she is warm and friendly and well liked by all who know her. Here is a case where an individual has formed a “self-concept” which is definitely not in line with the facts. If she could come to realize the true situation, it would in all probability help her overcome this fear of meeting or being with other people. The importance of an individual’s “self-concept” in influencing his behavior is plainly evident.

      我們一直想以自問“我為什麼會做那件事?”來試圖認識自己。的確,每一個人都碰到認識自己的問題,即使他並不是用這麼多字的一段話來問。“我為什麼會做那件事?”有部分的答案從個人如何檢視自己或看自己會被發掘出來。這個可稱之為一個人的自我認識。
如果我們能逐漸對我們自己的想法、行動和是個什麼樣的人有更多瞭解的話,很明顯的,我們的行為可以自我控制的更好和更快樂。例如,一個年輕的女人也許會“認為她自己”是一位不善言詞,而且像是一個和朋友出遊會被當作是“濕被子”的人。實際上,她是一位熱情、友善而且會被她所有認識的人喜愛的人。這就是一個案例 - 個人形成的自我認識與事實不同。假如她能夠認清真實的情形,這將會使她克服去認識或與人相處的恐懼。一個人的“自我認識”對於影響他的行為顯然是很重要的。
