An earlier view would have provided a simple answer to this question.
20、 A work of politics, it would have been said, is the handbook of an art, the art of governing. Just as a man of superior skill in the art of carpentry may compile a work in which his skill is made available to those who inspire to be good carpenters, so a man of inferior wisdom in the art of politic
21、s may set down his knowledge in a book for the construction of those whose business it is to find, govern, or preserve states. If this is what political theory is, there is no difficulty in determining what advantage may be expected from the study of great political works. They will be insulted by t
22、hose who have to govern states. But this is certainly not the advantage which a modern reader can be compromised from a study of their works. This entire conception of politics as an art and of the political philosopher as the teacher of it rests upon assumptions which it is possible to accept. If i
23、t were correct, the writers of political theory would need to be themselves past masters in the art of governing, and statesmen would need to apprentice themselves to them in order to learn their job. But we find that this is not so. Few political philosophers have themselves exhibited any master of
24、 the art of governing, and few successful statesmen have owed up their success to the study of political writings. 1. _2. _3. _4. _5. _6. _7. _8. _9. _10. _Part III.

26、 positioned inhabitants access aquifer passagesDuring the sixth and seventh centuries, the 1 of the modern-day states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in North-western India developed a method of gaining 2 to clean, fresh groundwater during the dry season for drinking, bathing, watering animals and 3 . Howe
27、ver, the significance of this invention the stepwell goes beyond its 4 application. Unique to this region, stepwells are often 5 complex and vary widely in size and shape. During their 6 , they were places of gathering, of leisure and 7 and of worship for villagers of all but the lowest classes. Mos
28、t stepwells are found 8 round the desert areas of Gujarat (where they are called vav) and Rajasthan (where they are called baori), while a few also survive in Delhi. Some were located in or near villages as public spaces for the community; others were 9 beside roads as resting places for travellers.
29、As their name suggests, stepwells comprise a series of stone steps 10 from ground level to the water source, (normally are underground 11 ) as it recedes following the rains. When the water 12 was high, the user needed only to descend a few steps to reach it; when it was low, several levels would ha
30、ve to be negotiated. Some wells are vast, open 13 with hundreds of steps 14 each sloping side, often in 15 . Others are more elaborate, with long stepped 16 leading to the water via several storeys. Built from stone and supported by 17 , they also included pavilions that sheltered visitors from the
31、relentless heat. But perhaps the most impressive features are the 18 decorative sculptures that embellish many stepwells, showing activities from fighting and dancing to everyday acts such as women 19 their hair or 20 butter.Part IV. Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: In this section, ther
32、e are three passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer and write the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good
33、men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is di
34、sappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization together honesty, kindness, and so on accountability may be the
35、 most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on peoples behavio
36、r are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Fortunately there are still communities smaller towns, usually where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not tolerated they simply ar
37、e not done!”Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift i
38、n attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral gui
39、dance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home.I dont believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibili
40、ty for anything.We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.1. What the wise man said suggests that _.A. its unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evilB. its certain that evil will prevail if good men do not
41、hing about itC. its only natural for virtue to defeat evilD. its desirable for good men to keep away from evil2. According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime, _.A. society is to be held responsibleB. modern civilization is responsible for itC. the criminal himself should bear the
42、blameD. the standards of living should be improved3. Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have _.A. less self-disciplineB. better sense of disciplineC. more mutual respectD. less effective government4. The writer is sorry to have noticed that _.A. people in large cities tend to
43、 excuse criminalsB. people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standardsC. todays society lacks sympathy for people in difficultyD. people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities5. The key point of the passage is that _.A. stricter discipline should be maintain
44、ed in schools and familiesB. more good examples should be set for people to followC. more restrictions should be imposed on peoples behaviorD. more people should accept the value of accountabilityPassage 2It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life
45、, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsidera
46、te driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an
