Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)Many of the philosophers we have been reading in class seem to me to be hopelessly dated. Of course, it’s easy to bee trapped in writing only for the period a person lives in, and a philosophy is ne ___ssarily dependent on the historical situation and the extent of ___n’s knowledge. (41).However, Victor Hugo said that if he were writing for his own time only, he would have to break his pen and throw it away. (42). And it seems to me that the most frequent objections to modern and pre modern philosophers e from the inpatibility of their philosophies with what is considered to be established scientific fact. For instan___, Plato’s theory of forms does not, to me, seem to jibe with modern physics and co ___ology. And although I canonly vaguely glimpse the psychology which underlies Kant,it seems to be highly questionable.(43) .(44). History is, of course, ne ___ssary to any understanding of a philosophy: how it came about, what people did with it, etc. Sartre, although he developed some of his ideas from Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, probably could not have expounded those same ideas of existentiali ___ in their times; Nietzsche, who popularized the idea that “God is dead”, could not have written in the time of Descartes; and Descartes could not have expressed his radically individualist ideas during the time of Plato.I suppose that my point, which I am being ex ___edingly long winded about, is that philosophy does not (and should not, and must not) stand apart from the rest of the scien ___s. (45) . Although the other scien ___s can provide us with data, observations, and theories, only philosophy can integrate those into a coherent whole, ___us what to do with them, or provide a meaningful contextfor using these facts in our daily lives.[A] In my view, application of Kant’s epistemology and metaphysics could never produ ___ an artificial in ___igen ___ capable of passing a Turing test.[B] Rather, philosophy should be integrated with the rest of the scien ___s through a method of rational judgment. Rather than sailing behind, or next to but away from, the rest of the scien ___s, Philosophy should be the flagship of the group.[C] And ___ny of the philosophers who have existed over the course of the ___nturies have ne ___ssarily had to worry about gover ___ental, church, or societal disapproval, ___nsorship, or punishment.[D] After all, physics can give us insights into metaphysics, sin ___ both seek different ways to do the same thing; psychology, sociology, anthropology, and archeology can give us insights into epistemology; various“soft” scien ___s dealing with parative cultures can provide food for thought in ethnics, and so on.[E] Although some philosophical people are not ne___ssarily considered as philosophers today，whose work was influential and instrumental in developing one of thesocial scien ___s ( psychology, sociology, political scien ___, education) or in advancing theoretical scien ___ (what is now called philosophy of scien ___).[F] And so, it seems to me, the best way that a philosopher can keep from being dated is to be aware of scientific knowledge, and integrate it into philosophy. Of course, this ne ___ssitates an independent evaluation of the merits and drawbacks of a given scientific idea, which ne ___ssitates, in turn, a thorough knowledge of that theory.[G] And so, it seems to me that, in order for a philosopher to be relevant for the future as well as the present, he must take into aount all of the objections tohis philosophy which can be anticipated at the present time.Sample TwoDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box. The first and the last paragraphs have been pla ___d for you in Boxes. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] Is that what the American viewing public is getting? Perhaps 10% of prime time work programming is a happy bination of entertai ___ent and enrichment. There used to be television movies rich in hu ___n values, but they have now bee an endangered species. I find television too much con ___rned with what people have and too little con___rned with who they are, very con ___rned with taking care of No. 1 and not at all con ___rned with sharing themselves with other people. All too often it ___s us thehalf truth we want to hear rather than the whole truth we need to hear.[B] Why is television not more fully realizing its hu___nizing potential? Is the creative munity at fault? Partially. But not pri ___rily. I have lived and worked in that munity for 32 years, as both priest and produ ___r. As a group, these people have values. In fact, in Hollywood in re ___nt months, au ___n ___ enrichment has bee the in thing. A coalition of media panies has endowed the Hu___nitas Prize so that it can recognize and ___lebrate those who aomplish it.[C] Every good story will not only captivate its viewers but also give them some insight into what it means to be a hu ___n being. By so doing, it can help them grow into the deeply ___ntered, sovereignly free, joyously loving hu ___n being God ___de them to be. Meaning, ___ and love the supreme hu ___n values. And this is the kind of hu ___n enrichment the American viewing public has a right to expect from those who ___ke its entertai ___ent.[D] The problem with American TV is not the lack of story ___ers of conscien ___ but the mercial system within which they have to operate. Television in the U.S. is a business. In the past, the business side has been balan ___d by a mitment to public servi ___. But in re ___nt years the fragmentation of the ___ss au ___n ___, huge interest payments and skyrocketing production costs have bined with the FCC’s abdication of its responsibility to protect the mon good to produ ___ an almost total preoupation with the bottom line. The works are struggling to survive. And that, the statistics seem to indicate, is mindless, heartless, escapist fare. If we are dissatisfied with the moral content of what we are invited to watch, I think we should begin by examining our own conscien ___s. When we tune in, are we ready to plunge into reality, so as to extract its meaning, or are we hoping to escape into a sedated world of illusion? And if church leaders want to elevate the quality of the country’s entertai ___ent, they should forget about ___s, production codes and ___nsorship. They should work at educating their people in media literacy and at mobilizing them to support quality shows in huge numbers.[E] It is not a question of entertai ___ent or enrichment. These are plementary con ___rns and presuppose each other. The story that entertains without enriching is superficial and escapist. The story that enriches without entertaining is simply dull. The story that does both is a delight.[F] That is the only sure way to improve the moral content of America’s entertai ___ent.[G] Despite questions of the motivation behind them, the attacks by the President and the Vi ___ President on the moral content of television entertai ___ent have found an echo in the chambers of the American soul. Many who reject the messengers still aept the message. They do not like the moral tone of American TV. In our society only the hu ___n family surpasses television in its capacity to municate values, provide role models, form conscien ___s and motivate hu ___n behavior. Few educator, church leaders or politicians possess the moral influen ___ of those who create the nation’s entertai ___ent.Order:G4142434445FSample ThreeDirection:You are going to read a text about New Rulesfor Landing a Job, followed by a list of examples.

Corcodilos started out in the headhunting business 20 years ago, he had a keen eye for tracking talent. From his base in Silicon Valley he would send all-star performers to blue-chip panies like Xerox, IBM and General Electric. But while he would sueed in his part of the hunt, the job-seekers he located would often fail in theirs. They were striking out before, during or after the interview.So instead of simply aounting for talent, Corcodilos began advising job candidates as well. He helped improve their suess ratio by teaching them to pursue fewer panies, ___ke the right contacts and deliver what panies are looking for in an interview. In his myth-busting book, Ask the Headhunter (Plume, 1997), Corcodilos has reinvented the rules of the job search, from preparation to interview techniques. Here are his six new principles for suessful job hunting:(41) Your resume is meaningless.Headhunters know a resume rarely gets you inside a pany. All it does is outline your past-largely irrelevant sin ___ it doesn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the hiring ___nager needs done.(42) Don’t get lost in HR.Headhunters try to get around the hu ___n resour ___s department whenever possible.(43) The real ___tch ___ takes pla ___ before the interview.A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the position. In your own job hunt, ___ke the same effort to ensure a good fit. Know the parameters of the job when you walk into the interview. Research the pany, finding out about its culture, goals, pe ___s.Remember, the employer wants to hire you.“A pany holds interviews so it can find the best person for the job,” Corcodilos says. The ___nager will be ecstatic if that person turns out to be you because then he or she can stop interviewing and get back to work.(44) Pretend the interview is your first day at work.Most people treat an interview as if it were an interrogation. The employer asks questions, and thecandidate gives answers. Headhunters go out of their way to avoid that s ___nario.(45) Got an offer? Interview the pany.When an employer ___kes an offer, he does more than deliver a title and a pensation package he also ___des part of his control over the hiring pro ___ss.On ___ you get that offer, “You have the power,” says Corcodilos, to decide whether, and on what terms, you want to hire that pany.[A] Consider how Corcodilos coached Gerry Zagorski of Edison, N.J., who was pursuing an opening at AT & T. Zagorski walked over to the vi ___ president’s ___rker board and outlined the pany’s challenges and the steps he would take to increase its profits. Fifteen minutes later, as Zagorski wrote down his esti ___te of what he would add to the bottom line, he looked up at his interviewer.[B] One of the best ways to learn about a pany is to talk to people who work there. Kenton Green of Ann Arbor, Mich., used this technique while pleting a doctoral program in electrical engineering and optics at the University of Rochester: “I would find an article published by someonein my field who worked at a pany I was interested in. Then I’d call that person and ask to talk, mention my employability and discuss the pany’s needs. One of two things happened: I’d either get an interview or learn we weren’t a good ___tch after all.”[C] “Most HR departments create an infrastructure that pri ___rily involves pro ___ssing paper,” Corcodilos says. “They package, organize, file and sort you. Then, if you haven’t gotten lost in the shuffle, they might pass you on to a ___nager who actually knows what the work is all about. While the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter is on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring ___nager.”[D] “At the outset of the interview, the employer controls the offer and the power that es with it,”Corcodilos says. “But upon ___ an offer, he transfers that power to the candidate. This is a power few people in that situation realize they have. It’s the time for you to explore changing the offer to suit your goals and fully interview the pany.”[E] “The guy’s jaw was on the floor,” Corcodilos says. “He told Zagorski that finishing the interview wouldn’t be ne ___ssary. Instead, the VP brought in the rest of his team, and the meeting lasted for two hours.”[F] “A resume leaves it up to employers to figure out how you can help their organization,” Corcodilos says. “That’s no way to sell yourself.”Sample FourDirections:You are going to read a list of headings and a text about Backlogs of History. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph (41-45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are notnumbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] Passion for personal and familial archival collection.[B] Re ___ption of a hospital delivery bill.[C] Overabundan ___ of trivial personal documents.[D] Explosion of public documents.[E] It is imperative to put archival policies into perspective.[F] What tactics should be adopted in document-saving?One morning a few years ago an envelope arrived from my parents containing the bill from New RochelleHospital for my delivery, in 1952. The contents of a basement or attic were being culled, and the bill had turned up in one of the ___ny cardboard reliquaries that have long lent a kind ofballast to my childhood home. The hospital’s total charge for a five-day stay including drugs and phone calls, came to $187.86. I was a ___zed at the cost, to be sure. But I was also struck by something else: that among all those decades’ worth of family documents my parents had looked through, the delivery bill was the only thing they thought of sufficient interest to pass along.41At some point most of us realize that having a personal archival strategy is an inescapable aspect of modern life: one has to draw the line somewhere. What should the policy be toward children’s drawings and report cards? Toward personal letters and ___gazine clippings? People work out answers to such questions, usually erring, I suspect, on the side of over arual of rubbish documents. Almost everyone seems to save — or “curate,” as archaeologist says — issues of National Geographic. That is why in garbage landfills copies of that ___gazine are rarely found in isolation; rather, they are found in herds, when anentire collection has been discarded after an owner has___d or moved.42I happen to be an admirer of the archiving impulse and an inveterate archivist at the household level. Though not quite one of those people whom public-health authorities seem to run across every few years, with a house in which neatly bundled stacks of newspaper oupy all but narrow aisles, I do tend to save almost everything that is personal and familial, and even to supplement this private hoard with oddities of a more public nature — a calling card of Tho ___s Nast’s, for instan ___, and Kim Philby copy of the Joy of Cooking.43I cannot help wondering, though, whether as a nation we are piling archives at a rate that will ex ___ed anyone’s ability ever to ___ke sense of them. A number of observers have cited the problem of “infor ___tion overload” as ifit were a re ___nt development, largely the consequen ___ of puters. In truth, the archive backlog has been a problem for millennia. Historians obviously have problems wheninfor ___tion is scar ___, but it’s not hard to see a very different problem emerging as sour ___ ___terial bees spectacularly overabundant.44Leave aside the task of assessing an entire epoch and consider what is required in purely physical terms to preserve even a single prominent person’s lifetime documentary output. Benjamin Disraeli’s corresponden ___ survived down to the level of what today would be an E___il message: “My darling, I shall be home for dinner at 1/2 pt 7. In haste, Your, Dis.” Woodrow Wilson left so much behind that the historian Arthur S. Link spent his entire career at Prin ___ton University annotating and publishing Wilson’s personal papers, in sixty nine volumes.45Is it preposterous to begin thinking of some of our archives as the new tels? Tels are the mounds that layer upon layer of former cities ___ke; they are everywhere in the Middle East, harboring the archaeological record of thousands of years of hu ___n history. But there are too ___ny of them for more than a few ever to be excavated syste ___tically and understanding what’s in even those few takes decades if not ___nturies.Don’t get me wrong: I am not proposing that we discard any thing at all. One rarely knows in advan ___ what will turn out to be of interest or importan ___ and what should have gone directly into the oubliette. It is always delightful when something is discovered. But infor ___tion does have its natural predators, and it ___y be that sometimes natural pro ___sses work out for the best.模板,内容仅供参考。
