Types of Social Groups

Life places us in a complex web of relationships with other people. Our humanness arises out of these relationships in the course of social interaction Moreover, our humanness must be sustained through social interaction—and fairly constantly so. When an association continues long enough for two people to become linked together by a relatively stable set of expectations, it is called a relationship.

People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through association with people who are meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of security, love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental ties are social links formed when we cooperate with other people to achieve some goal. Occasionally, this may mean working with instead of against competitors. More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.

Sociologists have built on the distinction between expressive and instrumental ties to distinguish between two types of groups: primary and secondary. A primary group involves two or more people who enjoy a direct, intimate, cohesive relationship with one another. Expressive ties predominate in primary groups; we view the people as ends in themselves and valuable in their own right. A secondary group entails two or more people who are involved in an impersonal relationship and have come together for a specific, practical purpose. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups; we perceive people as means to ends rather than as ends in their own right. Sometimes primary group relationships evolve out of secondary group relationships. This happens in many work settings. People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share gripes, jokes, gossip, and satisfactions.

A number of conditions enhance the likelihood that primary groups will arise. First, group size is important. We find it difficult to get to know people personally when they are milling about and dispersed in large groups. In small groups we have a better chance to initiate contact and establish rapport with them. Second, face-to-face contact allows us to size up others. Seeing and talking with one another

in close physical proximity makes possible a subtle exchange of ideas and feelings. And third, the probability that we will develop primary group bonds increases as we have frequent and continuous contact. Our ties with people often deepen as we interact with them across time and gradually evolve interlocking habits and interests.

Primary groups are fundamental to us and to society. First, primary groups are critical to the socialization process. Within them, infants and children are introduced to the ways of their society. Such groups are the breeding grounds in which we acquire the norms and values that equip us for social life. Sociologists view primary groups as bridges between individuals and the larger society because they transmit, mediate, and interpret a society's cultural patterns and provide the sense of oneness so critical for social solidarity.

Second, primary groups are fundamental because they provide the settings in which we meet most of our personal needs. Within them, we experience companionship, love, security, and an overall sense of well-being. Not surprisingly, sociologists find that the strength of a group's primary ties has implications for the group's functioning. For example, the stronger the primary group ties of a sports team playing together, the better their record is.

Third, primary groups are fundamental because they serve as powerful instruments for social control. Their members command and dispense many of the rewards that are so vital to us and that make our lives seem worthwhile. Should the use of rewards fail, members can frequently win by rejecting or threatening to ostracize those who deviate from the primary group's norms. For instance, some social groups employ shunning (a person can remain in the community, but others are forbidden to interact with the person) as a device to bring into line individuals whose behavior goes beyond that allowed by the particular group. Even more important, primary groups define social reality for us by structuring our experiences. By providing us with definitions of situations, they elicit from us behavior that conforms to group-devised meanings. Primary groups, then, serve both as carriers of social norms and as enforcers of them.

Paragraph 1：

Our humanness arises out of these relationships in the course of social interaction Moreover, our humanness must be sustained through social interaction—and fairly constantly so. When an association continues long enough for two people to become linked together by a relatively stable set of expectations, it is called a relationship.

○ delicate

○ elaborate

○ private

○ common

2. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of a relationship?

○ It is a structure of associations with many people.

○ It should be studied in the course of a social interaction.

○ It places great demands on people.

○ It develops gradually overtime.

Paragraph 2：People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through association with people who are meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of security, love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental ties are social links formed when we cooperate with other people to achieve some goal. Occasionally, this may mean working with instead of against competitors. More often, we simply

cooperate with others to reach some end the relationship with any larger significance.

○ leaving

○ exposing

○ providing

○ understanding

4. Which of the following can be inferred about instrumental ties from the author's mention of working with competitors in paragraph 2?

○ Instrumental ties can develop even in situations in which people would normally not cooperate.

○ Instrumental ties require as much emotional investment as expressive ties.

○ Instrumental ties involve security, love, and acceptance.

○ Instrumental ties should be expected to be significant.

Paragraph 3：Sociologists have built on the distinction between expressive and instrumental ties to distinguish between two types of groups: primary and secondary.

A primary group involves two or more people who enjoy a direct, intimate, cohesive relationship with one another. Expressive ties predominate in primary groups; we view the people as ends in themselves and valuable in their own right. A secondary group entails two or more people who are involved in an impersonal relationship and have come together for a specific, practical purpose. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups; we perceive people as means to ends rather than as ends in their own right. Sometimes primary group relationships evolve out of secondary group relationships. This happens in many work settings. People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share gripes, jokes, gossip, and satisfactions.

5. According to paragraph 3, what do sociologists see as the main difference between primary and secondary groups?

○ Primary groups consist of people working together, while secondary groups exist outside of work settings.

○ In primary groups people are seen as means, while in secondary groups people are seen as ends.

○ Primary groups involve personal relationships, while secondary groups are mainly practical in purpose.

○ Primary groups are generally small, while secondary groups often contain more than two people.

6. Which of the following can be inferred from the author's claim in paragraph 3 that primary group relationships sometimes evolve out of secondary group relationships?

○ Secondary group relationships begin by being primary group relationships.

○ A secondary group relationship that is highly visible quickly becomes a

primary group relationship.

○ Sociologists believe that only primary group relationships are important to

society.

○ Even in secondary groups, frequent communication serves to bring people into close relationships.

Paragraph 4：A number of conditions enhance the likelihood that primary groups will arise. First, group size is important. We find it difficult to get to know people personally when they are milling about and dispersed in large groups. In small groups we have a better chance to initiate contact and establish rapport with them.

another in close physical proximity makes possible a subtle exchange of ideas and

feelings. And third, the probability that we will develop primary group bonds increases as we have frequent and continuous contact. Our ties with people often deepen as we interact with them across time and gradually evolve interlocking habits and interests.

○ enlarge

○ evaluate

○ impress

○ accept

Paragraph 5：Primary groups are fundamental to us and to society. First, primary groups are critical to the socialization process. Within them, infants and children are introduced to the ways of their society. Such groups are the breeding grounds in which

we acquire the norms and values that equip us for social life.

8. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

○ Sociologists think that cultural patterns establish connections between the individual and the larger society.

○ Sociologists believe that individuals with a sense of oneness bridge the gap between society and primary groups.

○ Sociologists think primary groups contribute to social solidarity because they help maintain a society's cultural patterns.

○ Sociologists believe that the cultural patterns that provide social solidarity arise as bridges from primary groups.

9. This passage is developed primarily by

○ drawing comparisons between theory and practice

○ presenting two opposing theories

○ defining important concepts and providing examples of them

○ discussing causes and their effects

Paragraph 7：Third, primary groups are fundamental because they serve as powerful instruments for social control. Their members command and dispense

many of the rewards that are so vital to us and that make our lives seem worthwhile. Should the use of rewards fail, members can frequently win by rejecting or

threatening to ostracize those who from the primary group's norms. For instance, some social groups employ shunning (a person can remain in the community, but others are forbidden to interact with the person) as a device to bring into line individuals whose behavior goes beyond that allowed by the particular group. Even more important, primary groups define social reality for us by structuring our experiences. By providing us with definitions of situations, they elicit from us behavior that conforms to group-devised meanings. Primary groups, then, serve both as carriers of social norms and as enforcers of them.

10.

○ detract

○ advance

○ select

○ depart

11. According to paragraph 7, why would a social group use shunning?

○ To enforce practice of the kinds of behavior acceptable to the group

○ To discourage offending individuals from remaining in the group

○ To commend and reward the behavior of the other members of the group

○ To decide which behavioral norms should be passed on to the next generation?

Paragraph 6：Second, primary groups are fundamental because they provide the settings in which we meet most of our personal needs. ■Within them, we experience companionship, love, security, and an overall sense of well-being. ■Not surprisingly, sociologists find that the strength of a group's primary ties has implications for the group's functioning. ■For example, the stronger the primary group ties of a sports team playing together, the better their record is.■

12. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

People who do not live alone, for example, tend to make healthier life choices and develop fewer pathologies than people who live by themselves.

Where would the sentence best fit?

托福真题: 10月13日新托福测试阅读真题考试日期 2012.10.13Passage 1Title:Is Panspermia Possible?大致内容 1996年发现了一个15 million years以前的陨石之类的，含有微生物，而且其中一些活过来了，这提起了科学家继续研究panspermia的兴趣（有题，这个概念在1996年很久以前就被提出了）。举了一些例子，1. 陨石crust外面的磁场很强，但是往里几厘米就渐弱很多，所以内部无法产生高温，无法让陨石飞行和降落。但是后来发现，其实是可以的；2. 又发现了一个一百多million以前的陨石之类的，里面也有微生物可以活过来，证明了之前的假设。而且，还做了实验，把细菌暴露在外太空的低温下。Passage 2Title:Sea Lions大致内容 sea lion数量减少的原因。一开始科学家们认为是因为大量的捕猎造成的数量减少，还做了实验，四个地方，两个禁止捕鱼，另外两个不禁止。一个professor带的团队认为是其他的原因。是因为killer whale吃掉的太多了。原因：因为原来killer whale吃的大型whale被人类捕杀了很多（有题），所以killer whale开始shift它的diet到小一点的动物上。有例子证明，在大型whale数量减少的时候，其他一些动物

的数量也接连的在减少（有题）。科学家debate how often killer whale吃其他动物，但是他们承认killer whale是原因之一。最后一段是那个professor带领学生采集数据发现killer whale改变1%的diet就造成了这么大的影响（有题），scientist也在怀疑这个结论。Passage 3Title:the Rise of Constantinople大致内容说的是君士坦丁堡这个城市的建立。先说这个城市是由皇帝建立的，用皇帝的名字命名（这里出现了一个日期，有题），虽然刚开始还很弱小，但很快就发展壮大。第二段说它的壮大的原因是地理位置很好，城市本身坐落在一个三角半岛的小山丘上，旁边全是悬崖。整个城区成为一个重要的军事要塞，易守难攻。此处也是从黑海前往爱琴海的通路（有题）。此外，此处还有自然深水港湾（有题），港湾边界还有链子围起来成为一个安全区域（有题），可供船只停泊。自古以来就是世界各地商船汇集的地方，处在交通要道，拥有深水港，是船的休息的中转站。皇帝对这些船进行征税。然后说了它的贸易发达，很多货物都运往这里（有题，问为什么举很多货物的例子），发展模式是沿用罗马模式，给民众发放免费食物，还有发展娱乐业，比如马戏团，文化产业繁荣。第三段说繁荣的第三个因素是城市规划的很好，建了很多建筑，采用罗马模式，但是又因地制宜（有题）。还讲了建了很多神明的雕塑，有最新的，也有传统的希腊神（有题），最后总结了一下。点

They needed to slow the natural processes that cause food to spoil. They needed a use for the ice that formed on lakes and rivers. They wanted to expand the production of certain industries. 2. The word perishable in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to capable of spoiling uncooked of animal origin highly nutritious 3. What can be inferred from paragraph 1 about cold storage before the invention of artificial refrigeration? It kept food cold for only about a week. It was dependent on a source of ice or snow. It required a container made of metal or wood. It was not a safe method of preserving meat. 4. Artificial refrigeration involves all of the following processes EXCEPT the pumping of water vapor through a pipe the rapid expansion of certain gases the evaporation of a volatile liquid the transfer of heat from one place to another 5. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 2? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. It takes a lot of energy to transform a liquid into a vapor, especially when the vapor loses heat. Some gases expand rapidly and give off energy when they encounter a very cold THE DEVELOPMENT OF REFRIGERATION Cold storage, or refrigeration, is keeping food at temperatures between 32 and 45 degrees F in order to delay the growth of microorganisms—bacteria, molds, and veast—that cause food to spoil. Refrigeration produces few changes in food, so meats, fish, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables keep their original flavor, color, and nutrition. Before artificial refrigeration was invented, people stored perishable food with ice or snow to lengthen its storage time. Preserving food by keeping it in an ice—filled pit is a 4,000-year-old art. Cold storage areas were built in basements, cellars, or caves, lined with wood or straw, and packed with ice. The ice was transported from mountains, or harvested from local lakes or rivers, and delivered in large blocks to homes and businesses. Artificial refrigeration is the process of removing heat from a substance, container, or enclosed area, to lower its temperature. The heat is moved from the inside of the container to the outside. A refrigerator uses the evaporation of a volatile liquid, or refrigerant, to absorb heat. In most types of refrigerators, the refrigerant is compressed, pumped through a pipe, and allowed to vaporize. As the liquid turns to vapor, it loses heat and gets colder because the molecules of vapor use energy to leave the liquid. The molecules left behind have less energy and so the liquid becomes colder. Thus, the air inside the refrigerator is chilled. Scientists and inventors from around the world developed artificial refrigeration during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. William Cullen demonstrated artificial refrigeration in Scotland in l748, when he let ethyl ether boil into a partial vacuum. In l805, American inventor Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine that used vapor instead of liquid. In l842, physician John Gorrie used Evans’s design to create an air-cooling apparatus to treat yellow—fever patients in a Florida hospital. Gorrie later left his medical practice and liquid.
