18、 themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures
19、are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.One thing that scientists
20、are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. The
21、y are not true hibernators.Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Other do not.（分数：12.00）(1).Hibernation is a seasonal practice. This means it _. A
22、. takes place only during a particular season B. occurs only during the night C. is a daily practice D. only happens when a species becomes over-populated（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Some scientists believe that hibernation is started by _.

Often they seem t
25、o understand each other and share each others emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, t
26、wins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children
27、 anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary spe
28、ech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.（分数：12.00）(1).Many people dont know that _. A. twins understand each other very well B. twins are slow to learn to talk C. twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other children D. there exists more communication between twins（分数：3.
29、00）A.B.C.D.(2).Whats the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development? A. They can only understand their own private language. B. They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins. C. There is little stimulation for them. D. Adults dont like to talk with them.（分数：3.00
30、）A.B.C.D.(3).The author probably feels that twins problem _. A. can not be solved because solution is very cruel B. can be solved because twins will be separated C. can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environment D. can be solved if the adults communicate with them m
31、ore often（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer mentions all of the items listed below EXCEPT _. A. twins can help each other B. twins share each others emotion C. twins are able to understand each other in a private language D. twins communicate less with their parents（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、BPassage Three(总题数
32、：1，分数：12.00)The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Binet. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who were too “mentally deficient (不足的)“ to benefit from ordinary scho
33、oling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet an
34、d Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words; solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binets and Simons work: (1) that children with more intelligence will do better in school and (2) that older c
35、hildren have a greater ability than younger children.Binets first test consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a result of their everyday experiences. The tasks were arranged in groups, according to age. Binet decided which tasks were appropriate for a given age gro
36、up by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test, it was considered appropriate for that age group.（分数：12.00）(1).The main purpose of this passage is to _. A. tell the origin of intelligence tests B. explain the ba
37、sic principle of intelligence tests C. describe the changes in the content of intelligence tests D. state the development of intelligence tests（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What was the purpose of the intelligence test designed by Alfred Binet in 1905? A. To select top students. B. To know who had received o
38、rdinary schooling. C. To put students in a right order. D. To make sure who required particular treatment.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Intelligence includes word understanding and problem solving. B. More intelligent children usually do better
39、in school. C. The French Ministry of Education was charged with the development of first intelligence tests. D. Intelligence is related with age.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).How did Binet decide which task to include on his first test? A. He first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient children. B.
40、He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older. C. He first gave the tasks to many children he thought appropriate. D. He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、BPassage Four/(总题数：1，分数：12.00)How men first learned to invent words is unknow
41、n; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,
42、 which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associationsthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;
43、 and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which a
44、ppeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words, lie can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We sho
45、uld therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.（分数：12.00）(1).The origin of language _. A. is a legend handed down from the past B. is reflected in sounds and letters C. dates back to the prehistoric period D. is a problem not ye
46、t solved（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions is that _. A. they could agree upon certain signs B. they could write them down C. they could communicate with each other D. they could combine them（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is true about words? A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are represented either by sounds or letters. D. They are visual letters.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The real power of words exists in their
