Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreement in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors (因素) tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are similar in many ways, there are fewer situations for people to see the need or the chance for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and dear.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material aspects, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the simple elements (要素) rather than in the complex ones; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ones.

Besides, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with a sharp division. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white fellows.

24. The underlined part “greater tolerance” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “      ”.

A. quicker adaptation to changing conditions

B. greater willingness to accept social change

C. more respect for different beliefs and behavior

D. greater readiness to agree to different conditions

25. Why is social change less likely to occur in a society where people are similar in many ways?

A. They are so conservative that they lend to slow down social change.

B. They can easily get what they want in the material aspect of society.

C. They are so used to their conditions that they seldom want to change.

D. They have similar needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty.

26. Which of the following factors probably tends to promote social change fast?

A. Different points of view.                                           B. Traditional values.

C. Sharp divisions in relations.                                    D. Similar appearances.

27. What is this passage mainly discussing?

A. Two different kinds of society.                                         B. Consequences of social change.

C. The importance of social change.                                  D. Certain factors affecting social change.

Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers (制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything, Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers. 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you warn a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, lake my experience. I moved to Beijing u year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not cry it?” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail (零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases tor every one of mine.

28. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in       .

A. its low price                                                              B. its big size

C. its not charging small sellers                                          D. its business-to-business service

29. We know from the passage that Alibaba       .

A. will continue to develop.

B. charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale.

C. acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers

D. is of middle size among all the online sites.

30. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.

B. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.

C. Taobao has no envious advantage over other similar online sites.

D. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Shopping online in China is TaoBao

B. How the author purchases online in China.

C. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

D. Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase in China.

Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer. Bui its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education. Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies (奇才), to begin classes on March 1, 2011. On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the stale-run universities.

The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.

Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.

The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020. The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.

A. the government will have no voice in the school

B. they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school

D. Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father   41   me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is   42   for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no   41   than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me,   44   my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied.” You are   45  . This is not the worst boy at all,   46   the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(释放的途径) for his enthusiasm.”

That statement began a(n)   47   between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my   48   as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She   49   my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more   50   and my brother and I could be better   51  .

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand   52   and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm. I   53   it had already improved our lives. I accepted her   54   and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of   55   that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later I wasn’t the   56   beneficiary (受益者). My father became the   57   man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

What power   58   has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is   59   strengthened by faith. it becomes an irresistible (不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never   60  .

You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
