22. Man lives in communities. His social existence restricts his flexibility in certain directions and extends it in others. Society imposes on him some limitations. People do not all engage in the same activities. They can be differentiated from each other by the functions they perform. This process of differentiation is called specialization. Specialization prevents many members of an industrial society from developing intelligence and initiative. However, some careers in these societies demand a high degree of intelligence and initiative. And there are some aspects of human society itself which encourage the development of such powers, indeed extend them beyond a point which can be attained by animals or animal communities lacking the features which human society uniquely possesses.Western-type democracies often claim that they provide "equality of opportunity" for all their citizens. At first sight it might seem that this implies the same chance for everyone of succeeding in his preferred occupation provided he is conscious of his goal and is willing to work hard; in other words, a situation in which rewards depend only on desire and effort. What the phrase actually implies is, of course, something rather different -- namely a competitive situation in which the number of competitors exceeds the number of rewards, though all competitors have the same "chance" because they all start the race from the same base line. However, it is only in theory that they all start equal. Even if the state offers them free education and protects them from hunger or extreme poverty, many citizens are disadvantaged in practice by their background, their upbringing, and probably other factors such as their sex or color. A process of invisible or hidden selection goes on which has very little to do with "equality of opportunity" in any sense. It is not the individual who selects his job; it is the system of society with its specialized requirements which selects the individuals who fit its requirements.(10分)22.1 Specialization is necessary because____.A. man is not as capable as machines in doing some thingsB. few people can develop all-round skillsC. different social members take part in different activitiesD. more and more machines are taking the place of men

24.Early in my travels, I had noticed these“new things” under the sun, and since they occur in increasing numbers all over the nation, it is interesting to observe them. From the beginning of my travels I had noticed the sale lots where they were sold and traded, but then I began to be aware of the parks where they sit down in uneasy permanence.By talking to the managers of the parks and to the dwellers in this new kind of housing, I got to know that these trailers are wonderfully built homes. Some of them are even forty feet long and they have two to five rooms, and are complete with air-conditioners, toilets, baths, and televisions. The parks where they sit are equipped with every facility. When a mobile home is drawn to the trailer park (活动住屋的停车场)，water and electric power will be connected and the television antenna raised, and then the family settle down.The park men charge a small ground rent plus fees for water and electricity. Telephones are connected in nearly all of them simply by plugging in a jack (插座). Sometimes the park has a general store for supplies, if there are no supermarkets nearby. Parking difficulties in the towns have caused these trailers to move to the open country where they don’t have to pay town taxes. The fact that these homes can be moved does not mean that they do move. Sometimes their owners stay for years in one place. It is a totally new and appealing way of life to me. These homes are never cheap and often are quite expensive with all the thousand appliances we live by—dishwashers, automatic clothes washers and driers, refrigerators.(10分)24.1 The author noticed the “ new things” (Para.1）when .(2分)A. he worked in the countryB. he traveled on a sunny dayC. he traveled around the countryD. he tried to talk to manager in the park
