　　When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate (26)apart and alone, they replied, "Because it is right." If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants (27)instead of skirts or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get (28)similar and very uninformative answers: "Because it's right." "Because that's the way it's done." "Because it's the(29) custom." Or even "I don't know." The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are(30) controlled by social norms – shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms (31)define how people "ought to" behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform (遵守) to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they (32)exist. In fact we are much more likely to notice (33)departures from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little (34)startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on both (35)cheeks. Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

　　【點評】

　　本篇聽力填空內(nèi)容講的是各地風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣(custom)的差異。比如塔西提島的人們喜歡獨自吃飯，而美國人吃飯用刀叉，男士穿褲子而不穿裙子，一次只能和一個人結(jié)婚等等，當(dāng)你問他們?yōu)槭裁磿@樣的時候，他們只會說“因為這是對的�！�。這就是所謂的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣，一種在特定社會文化區(qū)域內(nèi)歷代人們共同遵守的行為模式或規(guī)范。人們對自己當(dāng)?shù)氐娘L(fēng)俗習(xí)慣習(xí)以為常，往往意識不到它們的存在，只有當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)其他地方與自己地方的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣不相同時才會意識到原來各地的習(xí)慣是不一樣的。

　　本篇聽力填空是今年四級改革去掉聽力的三個句子的首個聽力填空，難度降低了很多，挖空的地方都是我們平常熟悉的四級大綱內(nèi)的詞匯和短語，其中departure，startle可能有些同學(xué)不認(rèn)識，departure是動詞depart的名詞形式，文中意思表示“背離”, startle表示“吃驚”。聽力填空主要是對動詞，名詞和形容詞等實意動詞的考查，所以大家今后還是需要對考綱內(nèi)的詞匯進行鞏固和復(fù)習(xí)。另外大家還需要注意的是動詞要考慮時態(tài)和單復(fù)數(shù)的變化，而名詞要注意單復(fù)數(shù)的變化，切不可因題目簡單而忽略了細(xì)節(jié)，導(dǎo)致不必要的失分。
