For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and write down th

16、e corresponding letter./BBPassage One/BAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent, our intelligence is given us at birth. On the other hand, a child who

17、 lives in boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or, not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most exports, can be suppor

18、ted in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their d

19、egree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence dep

20、ends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory other the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates the environment as wel

21、l as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.（分数：12.00）(1).The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _ .（分

22、数：3.00）A.at birthB.both at birth and through educationC.through educationD.neither at birth nor through education(2).If a child born with low intelligence, he can _ .（分数：3.00）A.never become a geniusB.exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC.still become a genius if he should be given spe

23、cial educationD.not reach his intelligence in his life(3).The example of the twins going to a uncertainty and a factory Separately shows _ .（分数：3.00）A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the importance of their positionsC.the role of environment on intelligenceD.the part that birth plays(4).The be

24、st title of this passage can be _ .（分数：3.00）A.SurroundingsB.Dependence on EnvironmentC.IntelligenceD.Effect of EducationBPassage Two/BIt seems to shine unchangingly, pouring out a constant light year after year. But the sun may not be nearly so stable as we suppose, It is now thought to move quickly

25、 and irregularly and change in long-term cycles, growing dimmer and then brighter with each passing year. Some even fear that its frequent changing behavior would have a great influence on the Earths climate.The source of the suns inconstancy is magnetism. Professor William Livingston has developed

26、new theories about its magnetic nature.“We dont yet know what causes sun spots, “he says, “but we now think theyre areas of high-level magnetism that come up from the suns interior. So strong is their magnetic pull that the highly ionized gas nearby is not able to transmit energy out.“ As a result t

27、hese areas send out less heat and light and thus appear from Earth to be almost dark irregular surface patches.Sun spot activity generally fluctuates in steady, 11-year cycled. Scientists have long formed the opinion that as the size and number of sun spots increased, the overall energy sent out by

28、the sun would decrease. Indeed, recent studies confirmed it, revealing that during peak periods of sun spot activity, the Earth experiences a small drop that can be seen clearly in received solar energy.Could such a small drop in energy have an effect here on earth? Perhaps some scientists think the

29、 world temperature could fall by as much as 0.2 during periods of high solar magnetism. enough to cause significant fluctuations in weather patterns.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, it is believed that the sun _ .（分数：3.00）A.moves in a quick but steady way year after yearB.sends out less and l

30、ess heat and light with each passing yearC.radiates the same amount of light every yearD.might have a strong influence on the weather patterns(2).Which of the following is true of Livingston? _（分数：3.00）A.He thinks he has discovered a new possibility in the link between sun spots and the weather on t

31、he Earth.B.He has great doubts about the theory that the suns frequent changes have an influence on the Earths climate.C.He has been recently informed by other scientists of the possibility that more sun spots will appear.D.He does not think the causes of the sun spots will be fully revealed by scie

32、ntists in the near future.(3).Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? _（分数：3.00）A.The sun shines constantly and gives out the same amount of energy every year.B.The cause of the suns fluctuations is its loss of energy with each passing year.C.It is sure that the energy sent ou

33、t by the sun will drop when more sun spots appear.D.Fluctuations in weather patterns are the results of the pull of gravity.(4).Which of following is the best title for the passage? _（分数：3.00）A.Fluctuations in Weather Patterns.B.Magnetism and the Sun Spots.C.The Size and Number about the Earths.D.Li

34、vingstons New Theory about the Earths Climate.BPassage Three/BIn ancient times the most important exams were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students w

35、ho were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctors degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written

36、 examination, where all students are tested on the same into existence with the great increase, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state exam

37、ination, timed exactly by electric and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called as “objective“ test. It is intended to deal wit

38、h facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questions each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the mater

39、ial properly.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true about the students in the Middle Ages? _（分数：3.00）A.They took objective.B.They specialized in one subject.C.They were timed by electrical clocks.D.They usually took spoken tests.(2).During the _ test, students must select answers.（分

40、数：3.00）A.personalB.objectiveC.spokenD.written(3).Modern industry must have developed _ .（分数：3.00）A.before the Middle AgesB.around the 19th centuryC.in Greece or RomeD.machines to take tests(4).It may be concluded from the passage that testing _ .（分数：3.00）A.should test only opinionsB.should always be

41、 writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factoriesBPassage Four/BIn the seventeenth century, European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes were living in the area without a formal leadership system. They appeared

42、 to be “quite friendly with each other without a formal authority“!Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions. All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by life long familiarity with the tasks o

43、f the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians rate of social change was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather than giving direct orders (which were considered rough), members of the tribes would arouse others t

44、o action by examples.It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society. Most of us have grown up under one authority or another for as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions t

45、o tell us what to do. The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.Of course, the m

46、ajor reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large. The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system. In modern societies, the formal authorit

47、y system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following sentences is correct according to the passage? _（分数：3.00）A.From. 1710 to 1780, European soldiers came across some Indian groups in the western Great Lakes.B.European soldiers were quite friendly to the Indian

48、 groups.C.The Indian groups had no leaders.D.The Indian groups only obeyed their own gods.(2).The Indians got their brothers to do something by _ ?（分数：3.00）A.telling them what to doB.showing them how to do itC.making them obey the orderD.beating them down to lower prices(3).After reading the passage, you may conclude that _ .（分数：3.00）A.the Indian system is also suitable for some small townsB.the Indians were too simple to some small townsC.our social system is much better than that existing Indian societyD.the Indian social system woul
