28、e.Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said一the words.Words doprovide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many othersources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely tooheavily on words alone.Words are used to describe only a sma
29、ll part of the many ideaswe associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some ofthose associations if we listen fbr more than words.We dont always say what we meanor mean what we say.Sometimes our words dont mean anything except Im lettingoff some steam.I dont really want you
30、to pay close attention to what Im saying.Justpay attention to what Im feeling.Mostly we mean several things at once.A personwanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,This step has to be fixed beforeril buy.The owner says,Its been like that for years.Actually,the step hasnt beenlike that
31、fbr years,but the unspoken message is:I dont want to fix it.We put up withit.Why cant you?”The search for a more expansive view of meaning can bedeveloped through examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,therelated conditions or situation,and how it was said.When a message occurs
32、 can also reveal associated meaning.Let us assume twocouples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple alwayskisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The orderingof the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.Afri
33、end unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it waspreceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness.Someresponses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic.For example,a person who says No!to a serials of charges like“Yo
34、ure dumb,“Youre lazy,and Youre dishonest/9 may also say No!”and try to justify his or herresponse if the next statement is“And youre good looking.We would do well to listen fbr how messages are presented.The words,If surehas been nice to have you over,“can be said with emphasis and excitement orritu
35、alistically.The phrase can be said once or repeated several times.And the meaningswe associate with the phrase will change accordingly.Sometimes if we say somethinginfrequently it assumes more importance;sometimes the more we say something the考试科目：翻译硕士英语共9页，第5页less importance it assumes.36.Effective

37、 in paragraph 1 me a ns.A.Tm just calling your attentionB.Tm just kiddingC.Tm just saying the oppositeD.Tm just giving off some sound38.The house-owners example shows that he actually me a ns.A.the step has been like that for yearsB.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the stepC.the condition of the
38、step is only a minor faultD.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared39.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical,but are justifiable ifA.linked to an abnormal amount of assertivenessB.seen as ones habitual pattern of behaviorC.taken as part of an ordering sequenceD.expressed to
39、a series of charges40.The word“ritualistically“in the last paragraph equals something done.A.without true intentionB.light-heartedlyC.in a way of ceremonyD.with less emphasisPassage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Cellular slime molds are extraordinary life forms that exhibit
40、features of bothfungi and protozoa,although often classed fbr convenience with fungi.At one timethey were regarded as organisms of ambiguous taxonomic status,but more recentanalysis of DNA sequences has shown that slime molds should be regarded asinhabiting their own separate kingdom.Their uniquenes
41、s lies in their unusual life cycle,which alternates between afeeding stage in which the organism is essentially unicellular and a reproductive stagein which the organism adopts a multicellular structure.At the first stage they arefree-living,separate amoebae,usually inhabiting the forest floor and i
42、ngesting bacteriafound in rotting wood,dung,or damp soil.But their food supplies are relatively easilyexhausted since the cells movements are restricted and their food requirements rather考试科目：翻译硕士英语共 9页，第 6 页large.When the cells become starved of nutrition,the organism initiates a new geneticprogram
43、 that permits the cells to eventually find a new,food-rich environment.At thispoint,the single-celled amoebae combine together to form what will eventuallybecome a multicellular creature.The mechanism by which the individual membersbecome a single entity is essentially chemical in nature.At first,a
44、few of the amoebaestart to produce periodic chemical pulses that are detected,amplified,and relayed to thesurrounding members,which then move toward the pulse origin.In time,these cellsform many streams of cells,which then come together to form a single hemisphericalmass.This mass sticks together th
45、rough the secretion of adhesion molecules.The mass now develops a tip,which elongates into a finger-like structure of about1 or 2 millimeters in length.This structure eventually falls over to form a miniatureslug,moving as a single entity orienting itself toward light.During this period the cellswit
46、hin the mass differentiate into two distinct kinds of cell.Some become prestalkcells,which later fbnn into a vertical stalk,and others form prespore cells,whichbecome the spore head.As the organism migrates,it leaves behind a track of slime rather like a gardenslug.Once a favorable location has been
47、 found with a fresh source of bacteria to feedon,the migration stops and the colony metamorphoses into a fiingus-like organism in aprocess known as“culmination.The front cells turn into a stalk,and the back cellsclimb up the stalk and form a spherical-shaped head,known as the sorocarp.This finalfrui
48、ting body is about 2 millimeters in height.The head develops into spores,which aredispersed into the environment and form the next generation of amoebae cells.Then thelife cycle is repeated.Usually the stalk disappears once the spores have been released.The process by which the originally identical
49、cells of the slime mold becometransformed into multicellular structures composed of two different cell types一sporeand stalk一is of great interest to developmental biologists since it is analogous to animportant process found in higher organisms in which organs with highly specializedfunctions are for
50、med from unspecialized stem cells.Early experiments showed whichparts of the slime mold organism contributed to the eventual stalk and which parts tothe head.Scientists stained the front part of a slug with a red dye and attached it to theback part of a different slug.The hybrid creature developed a
