7、rough.The bright child is patient. He can tolerate uncertainty and failure, and will keep trying until he gets an answer. When all his experiments fail, he can even admit to himself and others that for the time being he is not going to get an answer. This may annoy him, but he can wait. Very often,

8、he does not want to be told how to do the problem or solve the puzzle he has struggled with, because he does not want to be cheated out of the chance to figure it out for himself in the future. Not so the dull child. He cannot stand uncertainty or failure. To him, an unanswered question is not a cha

9、llenge or an opportunity, but a threat. If he cant find the answer quickly, it must be given to him, and quickly; and he must have answers for everything. Such are the children of whom a second-grade teacher once said, “But my children like to have questions for which there is only one answer.“ They

10、 did; and by a mysterious coincidence, so did she.The bright child is willing to go ahead on the basis of incomplete understanding and information. He will take risks, sail uncharted seas, explore when the landscape is dim, the landmarks few, the light poor. To give only one example, he will often r

11、ead books he does not understand in the hope that after a while enough understanding will emerge to make it worthwhile to go on. In this spirit some of my fifth graders tried to read Moby Dick. But the dull child will go ahead only when he thinks he knows exactly where he stands and exactly what is

12、ahead of him. If he does not feel he knows exactly what an experience will be like, and if it will not be exactly like other experiences he already knows, he wants no part of it. For while the bright child feels that the universe is, on the whole, a sensible, reasonable, and trustworthy place, the d

13、ull child feels that it is senseless, unpredictable, and treacherous. He feels that he can never tell what may happen, particularly in a new situation, except that it will probably be bad.（分数：5.00）(1).If the dull child fails in the first attempt, he will _ .（分数：1.00）A.try againB.be encouraged to go

14、onC.get advice from othersD.lose confidence(2).What does the rod “maxim“ in the first paragraph most probably mean?（分数：1.00）A.Example.B.Principle.C.Tolerance.D.Understanding.(3).Why does the bright child refuse to get help from others even when he fails?（分数：1.00）A.Because he is confident of his own

15、ability.B.Because he looks down upon other people.C.Because he wants to have another chance to try by himself.D.Because he is willing to have difficulties all his life.(4).According to the author, the reason why some fifth grade students want to read “Moby Dick“ is probably that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they e

16、njoy reading a difficult book and understanding it bit by bitB.they think the book is well-written and worth readingC.they want to show off their ability to their teachersD.they are fond of taking risks and trying everything by themselves(5).It is implied but not stated in the text that _ .（分数：1.00）

18、unpredictable or challenging.D.the bright child is always confident of himself and enjoys finding answers to difficult questions.BText 3/BMyths, fallacies and fads (一时的风尚) have been built up over centuries. They change a bit but they are endurable and keep coming back in a slightly different form. F

19、rom the medicine man to the present food faddist, it has been a profitable business to exploit them. But many people sincerely believe them.The primitive hunter believed that his courage would be increased if he ate the heart of a hero or a lion. This is one myth that most of us can laugh about, but

20、 dont be too sure someone doesnt still believe this.The belief that fish is brain food may have orginated in some areas where protein foods were scarce except for fish. It may well have been that those pregnant women and infants who ate fish were more intelligent than those who ate exclusively veget

21、ables, fruits and grains.A relatively new fact resulting from research has shown that the number of brain cells is smaller when the protein eaten by the mother and the baby is lower than it should be. In that case, fish was a brain food, but so are all sources of protein.Many religions use food for

22、symbolism as in the bread and wine of communion or in the restriction of certain foods on special occasions such as the use of meats on fast days by the Catholic or the use of pork by the Jews and Mohammedans(伊斯兰教徒). The rules for slaughtering animals by the Jews and the Mohammedans are another exam

23、ple. And to a Hindu(印度教的信仰者), a cow is a sacred animal protected from slaughter and from use as food.Other foods are forbidden to Hindus and the most pious are strict vegetarians who do not even eat eggs. Many young people today are turning to Hinduism and Buddhism and adopting the food restrictions

24、 of those religions.Class and wealth determine food habits also. In many cultures, the lower classes were forbidden to eat some foods. These were usually reserved for the higher classes.The use of white rice in many Asian countries was limited to the wealthy because they could afford the cost of mil

25、ling. This constituted status. When people came to Hawaii they found that white rice was available to everyone, but they still felt that they had reached a higher status even though the white rice was lower in nutritional value than the whole grain rice.Food gives emotional satisfaction in many ways

26、. Some people eat because they are frustrated and unhappy. The reducing diets which promise that you can eat your weight off appeal to this kind of person. Milk is tied of memories of home and mother so people away from home drink more milk.The scare technique of telling people that their food is po

27、isoned by sprays or chemical fertilizers, or does not have adequate nutritive value because it is grown on worn-out soil, seems to be modern. These people claim that organic fertilizer is the only way to grow high value foods.Actually, if soil is worn out, the nutritive value of a pound of food grow

28、n on it is the same as that grown on soil fertilized either organically or inorganically. There simply will be more pounds growing on the fertilized field. The highest yield of all is reported by some as coming from soil which is fertilized both ways.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the text, food habits a

29、re vetermined by all of the following except _ .（分数：1.00）A.social statusB.preferenceC.religionD.belief(2).The reason why some people are vegetarians may probably be that _ .（分数：1.00）A.they are restricted by the church on the use of meatB.they value animals so much that they protect animals from use

30、as foodC.they think meat is lacking in nutritive valueD.they want to become members of the high social class(3).The word “fallacies“ in the first paragraph most probably means _ .（分数：1.00）A.fairy talesB.imaginationsC.untrue storiesD.classics(4).Which of the following statements is not true?（分数：1.00）

31、A.Some myths and fallacies can be kept for a long time because many people believe them.B.At one time fish was the only source of protein, so many people believed that eating fish could increase ones intelligence.C.Foods growing on worn-out soil do not have the same nutritive value as foods growing

32、on fertile field.D.Although white rice has less nutrition, people in Hawaii still preferred it, for they wanted to show they had reached a higher social status.(5).Why did the author write this text?（分数：1.00）A.To show that peoples beliefs are strongly influenced by the church.B.To warn the readers t

33、hat they should not take in everything blindly.C.To explain that differences in diet result from various factors.D.To tell the readers that some foods are superior in nutrition.六、BPart B/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Not every President is a leader, but every time we elect a President we hope for one, especially

34、 in times of doubt and crisis. In easy times we are ambivalent(有矛盾心理的)the leader, after all, makes demands, challenges the status quo, shakes things up.Leadership is as much as question of timing as anything else.66. _And when he comes, he must offer a simple, eloquent message.Great leaders are almo

35、st always great simplifiers, who cut through argument, debate and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand and remember. Churchill warned the British to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat“; FDR told Americans that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself“; Lenin promised the warwea

36、ry Russians peace, land and bread. Straightforward but potent messages.We have an image of what a leader ought to be. We even recognize the physical signs: Leaders may not necessarily be all, but they must have bigger-than-life, commanding features LBJs nose and ear lobes, Ikes broad grin. A tradema

37、rk also comes in handy: Lincolns stovepipe hat (礼帽), JFKs rocker. We expect our leaders to stand out a little, not to be like ordinary men. Half of President Ford trouble lay in the fact that, if you closed your eyes for a moment, you couldnt remember his face, figure or clothes. A leader should hav

38、e an unforgettable identity, instantly and permanently fixed in peoples minds.It also helps for a leader to be able to do something most of us cant: FDR overcame polio(小儿麻痹症); Mao swam the Yangtze River at the age of 72. We dont want our leaders to be “just like us“. We want them to be like us but b

39、etter, special, more so.67. _Even television, which comes in for a lot of knocks as an imagebuilder that magnifies form over substance, doesnt altogether obscure the qualities of leadership we recognize, or their absence. Television exposed Nixons insecurity, Humphreys fatal infatuation(迷恋)with his

40、own voice.A leader must know how to use power, but he also has to have a way of showing that he does. He has to be able to project firmness no physical clumsiness (like Ford), no rapid eye movements (like Carter).A Chinese philosopher once remarked that a leader must have the grace of a good dancer,

41、 and there is a great deal of wisdom to this.68. _He should be able, like Lincoln, FDR, Truman, Ike and JFK, to give a good, hearty, belly laugh, instead of the sickly grin that passes for good humor in Nixon or Carter. Ronald Reagans training as an actor showed to good effect in the debate with Car

42、ter, when by his easy manner and apparent affability(和蔼可亲), he managed to convey the impression that in fact he was the President and Carter the challenger.If we know what were looking for, why is it so difficult to find? The answer lies in a very simple truth about leadership. People can only be le

43、d where they want to go. The leader follows, though a step ahead.69. _The British believed that they could still win the war after the defeats of 1940, and Churchill told them they were right.A leader rides the waves, moves with the tides, understands the deepest yearnings of his people. He cannot m

44、ake a nation that wants peace at any price go to war, or stop a nation determined to fight from doing so. His purpose must match the national mood. His task is to focus the peoples energies and desires, to define them in simple terms, to inspire, and make what people already want seem attainable, im

45、portant, within their grasp.70. _Winston Churchill managed, by sheer rhetoric, to turn the British defeat and the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940 into a major victory. FDRs words turned the sinking of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor into a national rallying cry instead of a humiliating national sca

46、ndal. A leader must stir our blood, not appeal to our reason .A great leader must have a certain irrational quality, a stubborn refusal to face facts, infectious optimism, the ability to convince us that all is not lost even when were afraid it is. Confucius suggested that, while the advisers of a g

47、reat leader should be as cold as ice, the leader himself should have fire, a spark of divine madness.A. Yet if they are too different, we reject them. Adlai Stevenson was too cerebral. Nelson Rockefeller, too rich.B. The leader must appear on the scene at a moment when people are looking for leaders

48、hip, as Churchill did in 1940. as Roosevelt did in 1933. as Lenin did in 1917.C. Americans wanted to climb out of the Depression and needed someone to tell them they could do it, and FDR did.D. Our strength makes him strong; our determination makes him determined; our courage makes him a hero. He is

49、 the symbol of the best in us.E. Above all, he must dignify our desires, convince us that we are taking part in the making of great history, give us a sense of glory about ourselves.E A leader should know how to appear relaxed and confident. His walk should be firm and purposeful.（分数：10.00）(1).（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、BPart C/B(
