问题 共用题干How Human's Personalities and Behaviors are Formed

1 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It is not easy
to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.
2 Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions.They want to explain
why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet,but two
distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect,the two approaches are very
different from each other. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as"nature vs.nurture".
3 Those who support the"nature"side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior pat-
terns are largely determined by biological factors.That our environment has little,if anything,to do with our
abilities,characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains tha
our behavior is pre-determined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.
4 Those who support the"nurture"theory,that is,they advocate education, are often called behaviorists.
They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how
we will act.A behaviorist,B.F.Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped
by their surroundings.The behaviorists maintain that,like machines,humans respond to environmental stimuli
as the basis of their behavior.
5 Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic,intelligence,offered by the
two theories.Supporters of the"nature"theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that
is biologically determined.Needless to say:They don't believe that factors in the environment have much in-
fluence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic.On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our in-
telligence levels are the product of our experiences.Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an
environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will ex-
perience greater intellectual development.
选项 Paragraph 1_________A:Environment is ImportantB:Two Approaches Different From Each Other are FormedC:People Want to Know How Their Personalities and Behaviors are FormedD:Our Personalities and Behavior Patterns are Largely Determined by Biological FactorsE:We Want to Explain the BehaviorsF:Two Similar Approaches are Formed
答案C
解析文章第一段讲述的是人们一直想知道他们的性格特征和行为方式是如何形成的。故选C。 文章第二段讲述的是社会科学家想去解释为什么我们拥有某种性格特征并表现出某些行为，由此而产生了两种截然不同的学派。故选B。 文章第三段讲述的是支持“天性论”的社会科学家认为，我们的性格特征和行为方式是由生物因素决定的。 文章第四段讲述的是支持“环境因素论”的社会科学家认为，在决定我们的行为方面，环境比以生理为基础的本能更为重要。 根据文章第二段第三句话“There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools ofthought on the matter have developed.”可知，答案为D。 根据文章第三段第二句话“That our environment has little, if anything, to do with ourabilities ,characteristics and behaviors is central to this theory.”可知，答案为E。 通篇文章讲述的都是社会科学家想弄清人们的性格特征和行为方式是如何形成的。故选B。 由文章第三段第一句话“Those who support the 'nature' side of the conflict believe thatour personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.”可知，支持“天 性”理论的科学家认为，人出生时就具有某种性格特征。
