Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished
12、 statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_The old idea that child prodigies(神童) “burn themselves“ or “overtax their brains“ in
13、the early years, therefore, are prey to failure and (at worst)mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults. To find this out, 1, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fi
14、fth year with these results. On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life. About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, tho
15、ugh only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学), but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managers or semi-professional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or pro
16、fessional occupations. The group had published 90 books and 1, 500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents(专利权). In a material way they didnt do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men,
17、 than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed. In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality .（分数：10.00）(1).The statement that child prodigies“bur

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me, “ she said with a smile, handing o
23、ver seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare. “ It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. “ The p
24、hrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful, “ she said, explaining why shed taken to writing
25、 it at the bottom of all her letters, “ like a message from above. “ Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she l
26、iked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Heres the idea, “ Anne says. “An
27、ything you think there should be more of, do it randomly. “ Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secredy to a proud old lady. Anne says, “ Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can .
28、 “ The acts of random kindness spread. E you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!（分数：10.00）(1).Why did Natalie Smith pay for

There are not very m
33、any people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people dont take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they
34、 have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the leader to l
35、ook through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, peihaps they will go on to read the front page. However, they may just read the headlines,
36、but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper

39、.comicsD.advertisements(4).Today more people get news from_.（分数：2.00）A.newspapersB.radioC.televisionD.both A and B(5).A lot of newspaper readers do not even read the front page anymore because_.（分数：2.00）A.they dont have timeB.they are lazyC.the front page is not attractive enoughD.the headlines are
40、too horrible and frighteningLooking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not a
41、n early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. Bu
42、t I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects. I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the
43、 midnight oil, reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜) , because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers
44、and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the, outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be mad
