17、 that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we

18、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 grand- parents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the loc

19、al 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 midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and disc

20、overies. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, of which some might be honored with the title of scientifi

21、c 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 requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a

22、 goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph tells us that the author _.A. was born to a naturalists familyB. lost his hearing when he was a childC. didnt like his brothers and sist

23、ersD. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author cant remember his relatives clearly because _.A. he didnt live very long with themB. he was fully occupied in observing natureC. he was too young when he lived with themD. the family was extremely large（分数：2.

24、00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the author was _.A. no more than a born naturalist. B. a naturalist but not a scientistC. a scientist as well as a naturalist D. first of all a scientist（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probab

25、ly because he thinks he _.A. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistB. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticC. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveriesD. comes up with solutions in a most natural way（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the author, a born nat

26、uralist should first of all be _.A. full of ambition B. full of enthusiasmC. knowledgeable D. self-disciplined（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your

27、 parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one anothers

28、 hands for courage.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up just by listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this way is that the crowd is doing it.It has become

29、harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high m

30、arks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a greater barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect

31、rocks when every one else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself, Be yourself. Popularitytwill come with the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts

32、.（分数：10.00）(1).The main purpose of this passage is to tell _.A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to t

33、he author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to be themselves, but, in fact, most of them _.A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with problems single-handedD. are very much afraid of getting lost（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, whi

34、ch of the following is not true?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C.

36、real selfD. rebel against parents and the popularity wave（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)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 an

37、other is competitive.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

38、 might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as “nature / nurture“.Those who support the “ nature“ side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior pa

39、tterns are largely determined by biological and genetic (遗传学的) 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 that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that

40、 we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Proponents of the “nurture“ theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed 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

41、 whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behavior.Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human beh

42、avior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.（分数：10.00）(1).Which one of the following statements would supporters of the “nature“ theory agree with?A. A persons instincts have

43、little effect on his action.B. Environment is important in determining a persons behavior and personality.C. Biological reasons have a strong influence on how we act.D. The behavioristsview correctly explains how we act.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which one of the following statements would proponents of t

44、he “nurture“ theory agree with?A. A persons character is greatly influenced by his environment.B. Behaviorist theory is not correct.C. Biologically based instincts are important in how we act.D. Environment has little to do with behavior.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).B. F. Skinner _.A. supports the nature th

45、eoryB. believes in the importance of genes in determining personalityC. thinks the environment plays an important role in determining characterD. believes instincts govern behavior（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Concerning the nature / nurture controversy, the writer of this article _.A. supports the nature th

46、eoryB. supports the nurture theoryC. believes both are completely wrongD. thinks that the correct explanation of human behavior will take ideas from both theories（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).In the United States, Black people often score below White people on intelligence tests. With this in mind, which one

47、 of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Nature proponents would say that Whites are genetically superior to Blacks.B. Supporters of the nature theory would say that Whites score well because they have a superior environment.C. Behaviorists would say that Blacks often lack the educational and env

48、ironmental advantages that Whites enjoy.D. Nurture proponents would disagree that Blacks are biologically inferior to Whites.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How can English teachers accelerate the language learning of their students? One way is to teach students how to learn more effe

49、ctively and efficiently.
